My Top Anime of 2023

Hey everyone! I know this is SUPER late, I usually do this the first week of January but things have been a bit crazy. I promise I haven't abandoned this blog, however I have been working on my youtube channel like I've mentioned, it's going to be called threecheersforinking just like this blog. I'll def post about it again once I get a video up!

SO anyway after all that let's get into it! As usual, these are anime I watched in 2023, not necessarily ones that came out in 2023.

Death Parade

Yes I know, it's taken me so long to watch Death Parade. But I finally got around to it! This show is so creative and unique, every episode was its own little story. My one complaint was I wish it was longer. Not just because I loved the characters and the world and wanted to see more of it, but also because I felt like there was a lot more that could/should have been expanded upon, especially in the last couple episodes. Besides that though, I really enjoyed this series.

Kaguya-Sama Love is War: The First Kiss that Never Ends

Kind of cheating since this isn't a new series, but I enjoyed it so much I couldn't not include it. Kaguya really only gets better and better, and since I finished the manga a few months ago too I was in such a Kaguya mood in 2023. The character development in this arc is so great, and it's so rewarding to finally see Kaguya and Shirogane's relationship progress. I highly recommend the whole series to anyone who likes comedy anime, it's really top tier.

Pluto

And lastly, my favorite anime I watched this year was definitely Pluto. I was so excited for this as a huge fan of Naoki Urasawa, and watched it in literally 2 days. As soon as I finished the episode that focused on North No. 2, I was hooked. What a great introduction to the world and to the series as a whole. There were some aspects of the animation and pacing that I wasn't a huge fan of, but the character designs were great and the story in general was so good. I am not sure how much the adaptation differs from the manga, but it really made me want to read the manga super badly. I really loved all of the characters, but especially Atom and Epsilon.

Anyway, thank you for reading! I'll be back soon with some one-off recommendations and reviews as well. Thanks again for all your love to this blog as always.

Anonymous asked:

Great question! I don't know if I've seen too many explicitly "horror" anime (I prefer psychological thriller which is more common imo) but I have a few in mind that might work for you.

Perfect Blue is what immediately came to mind, it’s psychological but it's a genuinely excellent movie and is definitely extremely disturbing on a lot of different fronts.

Akira is pretty popular for being a well written and animated story but it's also technically categorized as horror. If you haven't seen it yet I'd recommend it anyway, but if you enjoy gory/scary stuff it should fit your taste even more.

Parasyte the Maxim is also categorized as horror although I personally don't consider it too scary, but it is definitely extreme body horror if that's what you're into.

The low hanging fruit I guess I could say are the Promised Neverland and Death Parade; both very good (barring TPN s2....) but pretty well known already and not necessarily 'scary' either.

As for ones I haven't seen, I've heard a lot about Higurashi and Devilman Crybaby but I haven't actually watched those so if you give those a shot take my recommendation with a grain of salt.

I feel like most of these weren’t super horror-y but I hope this helps at least a little, and if anyone else sees this feel free to leave your own horror rec in the replies. Thanks for the question! (also it’s not anime but I am posting a Junji Ito manga recommendation soon so look out for that too)
