60. Psycho-Pass
https://anilist.co/anime/13601/PSYCHOPASS/

If you pressed me to name my favorite female character in the past decade, Akane Tsunemori would probably be my first response. I really enjoyed her overall character arc and how the show gives these small nudges throughout that she's probably a step above everyone else mentally even early in the series. Kougami acts as a great mentor and eventually a different take on to handle SIBYL. The action scenes, music, and animation are all top notch. The only thing that really holds it back is the side characters are often not very engaging for the most part (although some of them like Ginoza is pretty good), and the main villain, Makishima, kind of seems a little too comic book villain if that makes any sense. The anime has 3 seasons, but the first one is the best one. Seasons 2 and 3 are not bad, but have way more obvious flaws in them.

59. AoButa
https://anilist.co/anime/101291/Rascal-Does-Not-Dream-of-Bunny-Girl-Senpai/

To say that Bunny Girl Senpai was a surprise hit is an understatement. I think it's now the posterchild of shows no one expected to be good at all and it ends up being one of the best shows of the year it aired. Mai and Sakuta make a great combo, their dialogue is very good. I think in tone of how they approach each other they are quite similar (and everyone points this out) to Araragi and Senjougahara from the Monogatari franchise. I do think that's where the similarities stop though. I enjoyed each arc the show went through and how it handled relevant modern issues with that supernatural twist to make it even more interesting. In a way I feel like this is more of like an evolution of what Charlotte was trying to do early on. AoButa is an incredible show that is worth adding to your list.

58. The Pet Girl of Sakurasou

"I believe in panties."
-Imo, this anime is an incredible blend of comedy, romance, and drama that is headlined by a cast that is both very anime but incredibly relateable in their endeavors. While having a cast of misfits is not a new thing, it's how they work and play off of each other that makes it engaging. This is an anime that really benefits from being 24 episodes as it lets characters grow a lot more naturally over the course of the entire season. I think something this anime does especially well is shows how different characters are affected by the circumstances, failures, and successes of the rest of the cast.

57. Steins;Gate 0
https://anilist.co/anime/21127/SteinsGate-0/

I think this is the only franchise that has two entries on the list that has been split because of the quality and tonal difference (I don't think it's a spoiler to reveal that Steins;Gate is on the list). This is a hard show to judge objectively because it's always going to be in the shadow of the original. What probably "drags it down" the most is that Okabe is pretty insufferable for a lot of the anime, although from a critical and emotional standpoint it's easy to see why he is like he is. There are also some problems with like the anime supposedly taking place within a pretty brief period of time so some things seem a little "extended". But in terms of how they set the tone, deliver the twists, and show a path from despair to hope I still think this can be considered a landmark anime in storytelling and character realization.

56. Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei! Herz!
https://anilist.co/anime/20845/Fatekaleid-liner-Prisma-Illya-2wei-Herz/

Fate/Loli has a ton of seasons but this one is specifically for S3 (which is adapting the second part 2wei), so the naming is kind of confusing. I find the general quality of each of the seasons to vary pretty drastically and I really enjoyed this part. It has the best comedy of all of the seasons. It turns Kuro, a character who I honestly really didn't like that much in her debut season, into someone who is fun to watch. Because the show really only focuses on a few characters it allows for much stronger character development versus mainline fate series, although the greater narrative is probably weaker. This season balances the slice of life moments with the story/action sequences very well though and handles side characters great too.
