8. Komi Cant Communicate
https://anilist.co/anime/133965/Komi-Cant-Communicate/

I don't think I have to talk much about this show. In case you have somehow never heard of Komi, she is a high school girl who has extreme social anxiety. She wants to make friends, but is too scared to say anything. Everyone else thinks she's just being cool and are too afraid to approach her... until someone does.

Komi is an anime no one thought would be made (although once Nagatoro, Jahy, and so on got made I think everyone eventually resigned that it was going to be a thing.) because no one thought they could really capture the distinct look of the manga in anime form. But there is virtually no compromises made here. If you want something that really captures the feel of the manga I don't think an anime has done that better than Komi has when it comes to the art.

I think the best way to go into Komi is just as a cute comedy show about a girl who has a hard time talking to others, with some romance too.

7. Attack on Titan the Final Season (part 1)

Gonna be quick here too since I think everyone has seen this. In case you haven't though, Attack on Titan as a whole I would say is very deserving of its popularity. The world building is strong, the character development is great, and the way it plays with the entire premise just makes the show feel continually fresh. The final season (part 1) is no exception to this. I like how each season has a different feel to it yet familiar at the same time. This a case though where production quality 100% is an issue. Even if it's "fine" it's clear MAPPA is either not at the level or didn't dedicate as much to it as WIT studio did when it was running the show.

6. Wonder Egg Priority

Note: This does not count the special bonus episode which I have not seen yet, and I hear ruins the entire show.

If I had to describe WEP quickly it would be a modern Madoka Magica. This sounds weird, but remember that Madoka was 10 years old when this came out. It follows a group of girls, who are each looking to save someone they lost.

Visually the show is stunning, and I would go as far to say it has the best art for the entire year. The Egg realm is basically like a version of the witch's domain from Madoka, with a person who the girls need to help in some way inside. The monster they fight is a representation of whatever trauma the person they need to save has gone through.

If I had a complaint it's that despite the subject matter presented, the show is extremely shallow in how it handles things. But, make no mistake, my theory has always been that the point of each egg journey was never to help the person inside, but for the girl who did the saving. Much like how in Madoka all the characters are basically tools the author used to get Madoka to her final decision, I feel that the "eggisodes" are pushing the girls to a point, and their different personalities seemed to drive them in different directions.

The show is also very incomplete unfortunately without the special episode (i have not seen). If you want to know why people think it sucked, well I can tell it's probably because of CLOVERWORKS or maybe not because Wonder Egg is an anime original.

But, despite it's perceived flaws, the show does what it sets out to do with a flair that few others have.
