Kimetsu no Yaiba (2019)
Gorgeous and Heartfelt Supernatural Samurai Series
Both character-driven and gorgeously animated, this heartfelt supernatural samurai action series will delight genre fans, and may even bring new acolytes into the fold.
I usually give new anime shows about three or four episodes before I opt in or opt out. This is because many of them take a while to build momentum and draw viewers in. Demon Slayer had me hooked from the very first episode. The tragic setup immediately got me invested in the characters, and the animation might just be the best I've seen in a modern anime. CG effects aren't overused, the scenery is gorgeous, and the character designs are rich and colorful. As you follow the main characters, you feel deeply involved with their quest- each time a new skill is mastered or a deadly foe is defeated, you really rejoice with the success. Beyond that, the protagonist of this story is deeply empathetic, kind, and well-rounded. I found this to be a breath of fresh air amongst too many shows that feature an angsty and shallow lead who is either revenge-driven or power-hungry.
Give Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba a chance. You'll not only realize why it's one of the most popular anime shows in the world right now, but also why it truly stands out amongst the rest.
Kidô senshi Gundam: Dai 08 MS shôtai (1996)
Hands-Down The Best Gundam Series
Dark, emotional, and full of human spirit, Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team perfectly captures the visceral mecha combat, thrilling story arc, and underlying antiwar message that so many of the franchise's shows seek to achieve. And unlike many others, this Gundam series doesn't suffer from a storyline that frustratingly unravels in its final act. The 08th MS Team is perfect in both tone and length, balancing action, humor, and intrigue as a small cast of characters that viewers will grow to love are quickly hurtled towards an epic and heart-wrenching conclusion. I haven't watched every single Mobile Suit Gundam series, but based on what I have seen I'd say this is hands-down the best Gundam series out there.
