Board 8 > List me the best < 52-episode anime shows to come out in the last ten years.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Shows I've enjoyed in the past are your expected FMA, Code Geass, TTGL, Cowboy Bebop, Haruhi Suzumiya, One Punch Man (season 1, haven't seen S2), and most recently Demon Slayer (up to the clothing district arc). Also liked Full Metal Panic, Samurai Champloo, Elfen Lied, Welcome to the NHK, Planetes, mothafuckin' Baccanno.

On the flip side, Kill La Kill made me want to strangle someone because it tried too hard. So did Space Dandy.

Spy x Family is on my list. I got somewhere into S2 of Attack on Titan, so that's happening, too.

and no shame i'm a sucker for fanservice if the rest of the show is solid (for example: fuck ya Godannar, but High School of the Dead didn't hold my interest)

Steins;Gate
Pluto
Madoka
Fate/Zero
A Place Further than the Universe

Devilman: Crybaby
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (currently airing so can't speak to anything past episode 10)
Kaguya-sama: Love is War
Made in Abyss
Odd Taxi
A Place Further Than the Universe

I'll also mention Mob Psycho 100 which I personally didn't care for but is generally considered a very strong anime and seems like one you would like.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean

Pluto

There's a Pluto anime now???? Wtf how did I not hear about this

going to totally ignore the cited preferences and talk about favourites of mine in an attempt to convert

Yama no Susume (if you pretend its non-full length episodes (aka. most seasons) don't equate to single episodes and you pretend a series that started at the start of 2013 counts as in the last ten years lol.)

Non Non Biyori (barely counts for date too lol but it's the tied best longform iyashikei series of the last decade with the above show (before anyone brings up yurucamp or girls last tour they are just not this good sorry. i will say that they, as well as other series like mitsuboshi colors, amanchu, hakumei to mikochi, flying witch and kemono friends s1 are still quite solid though))

Hibike! Euphonium (it's kind of not perfect, but factoring in masterpieces like the liz and the blue bird film that are a part of it, it's completely obligatory to bring up)

Pop Team Epic (it's peak)

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju (masterpiece)

Wake Up Girls (at least before the last season anyway, it was honestly probably my pick for the best idol anime within this timeframe, and i saw about 30 of them including several i am really into. but yeah last season is very ungood, self-contained and fully worth skipping)

selector infected/spread/destructed WIXOSS (the lostorage WIXOSS series that followed them were effectively a separate thing, a bad imitation of these seasons)

the Japan Animator Expo shorts (are definitely not a "proper" series but still)

most of the like 5 anime on amazon prime lol i'd say are must-watches tbh

planetes

I'll list ones that haven't been said yet

Mob Psycho 100
Beastars (third season coming next year but will still be under 52 episodes)
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
Zombie Land Saga
Megalo Box
Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunnygirl Senpai

This is news to me

I will second 86.

Odd Taxi
A Place Further Than the Universe
Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (only 51 episodes!...until season 3 comes out)
Hibike! Euphonium (and the two non-recap movies)
Frieren Beyond Journey's End (currently airing)
Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunnygirl Senpai
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
Bocchi the Rock!
Oshi no Ko

So far, while I wouldn't second all of them, most of the other shows mentioned besides mine are also solid or great.

Brand new, entire thing dumped on Netflix a couple weeks ago.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE.

Pluto
Made in Abyss
Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You (might fulfill your fanservice quota a bit, currently airing)

10 years really knocks out a lot of my favs...

A Place Further Than The Universe would be #1 for that criteria I guess.

Other than that was contemplating Spy x Family but is already on your list, and Attack on Titan too though it's more than 52 episodes

A Place Further than the Universe
Run With the Wind

i'm coming back to be a dissenting voice and say don't watch made in abyss, the child gore and child nudity show
