#REVIEW

Blue Lock Season 2 escalates everything Season 1 built — the ego, the chaos, the football — and delivers the most visually inventive sports anime since Haikyuu's finest arcs.

Frieren Season 2 is not just the best anime of Spring 2026 — it may be the best anime on television in any medium right now. Here is why it has no competition.

The One Piece Elbaf Arc is a game-changer, with **9.5/10** score. Discover why it's the best arc in 20 years.

Ufotable's Infinity Castle film has arrived. After years of anticipation, does it deliver? Our full spoiler-light review of the most expensive anime film ever produced.

Oshi no Ko's second season digs deeper into its dissection of Japan's entertainment industry, following Aqua and Ruby through stage plays, toxic fan culture, and the secrets that still haven't been revealed. Darker and more structurally ambitious than season one.

Science SARU's adaptation of Dandadan arrived with the energy of a monster truck rally inside a haunted house. It is genuinely unlike anything else airing in 2024 — chaotic, hilarious, emotionally sincere, and absolutely relentless.

Spy x Family gives you a spy, an assassin, and a telepath pretending to be a normal family — and then spends most of its time on breakfast scenes, school days, and a little girl discovering the world. It is the most purely joyful anime of the last five years.

Studio Trigger's adaptation of Ryoko Kui's beloved manga is the rare series that succeeds entirely on its own terms — a fantasy story about eating monsters that turns out to be one of the deepest explorations of life, death, and ecology the genre has produced.

Haikyuu!! ran for four seasons and a theatrical finale and delivered the most sustained, emotionally honest sports storytelling in anime history. Four years after the anime concluded, it remains the gold standard.

Solo Leveling's first season set expectations stratospherically high. Season 2 has the unenviable task of following one of the most-hyped anime debuts in recent memory. We review every episode.

Shaft's adaptation of Chica Umino's manga is the most accurate depiction of depression in anime — and the most hopeful. Rei Kiriyama's recovery, guided by a family of three sisters who simply refuse to leave him alone, is the finest character arc in the genre.

Gundam SEED Freedom finally arrived in theatres in 2024, two decades after the original series concluded. It delivered the largest Gundam box office in franchise history and some of the most technically impressive mechanical animation ever produced. Does it justify the wait?

Mushoku Tensei's second season completes its central arc and proves definitively that the series is the most ambitious isekai anime ever produced — a character study about regret, growth, and the possibility of becoming someone worth knowing.

The Apothecary Diaries spent two cours methodically constructing one of the most satisfying mystery-drama hybrids in recent anime. Maomao is an instant classic protagonist and the imperial court setting is rendered with unusual care and depth.

Now that the dust has settled and the debates have cooled, we take a comprehensive look at Attack on Titan's complete run — its triumphs, its controversies, and what it ultimately means for the medium.

Blue Lock took the sports anime formula and rebuilt it from the ground up. Instead of teamwork and friendship, it is about ego, predation, and the psychology of elite performance. Two seasons in, it is the most conceptually original sports anime in decades.

CloverWorks' adaptation of Bocchi the Rock! is one of the most technically inventive anime of the decade — a slice of life about social anxiety, friendship, and learning to play guitar that refuses to be ordinary in a single frame.

My Hero Academia has ended its manga run and the anime finale is approaching. We assess how Horikoshi wrapped up a decade-long story and what the MHA legacy actually looks like.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War ran for three seasons plus a film and delivered the most perfectly constructed romantic comedy in anime history. We explain why it mastered every dimension of the genre it was deconstructing.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion delivered the most perfectly constructed finale in anime history and built toward it across 50 episodes of political intrigue, mecha combat, and genuinely unpredictable character decisions. Nearly twenty years on, nothing has matched it.

Frieren won every anime award in sight for 2024. We examine why — and why this quiet, melancholy story about an elf mage who outlives everyone she loves is the most important anime in years.
