The show follows the five girls of a high school literature club as they collectively start thinking about sex and adult relationships for the first time. O Maidens in Your Savage Season is stressful, hilarious, awkward, heartwarming, melodramatic, cringeworthy, and absolutely brilliant. Streaming on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Hulu.

Small characterizations like this speak volumes by making the spectacular climactic moments more emotionally meaningful. He has to continue to humanize them, so he can justify continuing to travel with his now-demon sister, looking to cure her. He has genuine pity for them, even though theyвЂ™re terrible, irredeemable monsters. The best example of this is the way protagonist and titular demon slayer Tanjiro looks genuinely sad when killing a demon. In smaller, subtler moments, the animation and voice acting breathe life into the characters and make them more endearing. The spectacular action scenes are most noticeable - theyвЂ™re stylish and easy to follow, even when seemingly impossible things are occurring.

WhatвЂ™s rare about Demon SlayerвЂ™s adaptation is the consistency with which the animation and voice acting enhances the work, not just for specific important scenes, but every episode. And the addition of sound and animation can expand on and enhance moments in ways just not possible in the comic form. It isnвЂ™t rare for the anime version of a manga to elevate the source material, as adaptations often rewrite characters or moments of the story with better foresight about later developments. If I had to pick a single best show of the decade, let alone the year, it would be hard not to choose Vinland Saga.

Vinland captures all of that experience and focuses it into a story full of memorable characters, amazingly animated action scenes, and great character drama in the midst of much bigger historical moments. It demonstrates everything they learned from making action shows like Attack on Titan and Seraph of the End, to character dramas such as After the Rain and The Ancient MagusвЂ™ Bride.

Vinland Saga has become the show I flatly recommend when asked for suggestions - a series so good it would get the same attention prestige dramas do, if only it were live-action.ДЇor the animation studio behind the series, WIT, it feels like their capstone work for the decade. The recommendations in it were divided by genre to point people toward avenues they already liked. If you feel like something is missing, please recommend it in the comments.ДЄ few years back, I wrote a list of recent shows that would be great for a newcomer to anime. So shows that started in 2018 (ie: JoJoвЂ™s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind ) but didnвЂ™t end until 2019 appear on this list, not our 2018 list. Shows on this list are based on the series / season of that series ending in 2019. While it wonвЂ™t be entirely comprehensive - it only includes series weвЂ™ve watched and finished - everything on the list is something we can unequivocally recommend. To highlight all of the shows that stood out after a complete watch, weвЂ™ve assembled this list of the best new anime of 2019. Some of the best shows each year donвЂ™t always make it into those previews. But it can be hard to judge a series by its cover - or at least by the first few episodes. With each new anime season, The Verge tries to point fans to interesting new shows via seasonal previews. Hundreds of new anime series come out every year, so it can be difficult to pick out which ones are actually worth watching.
