I last posted here about 5 years ago, so I'll list my new current top 5 anime in no particular order.
- Code Geass
- Hunter x Hunter (2011)
- Stein's Gate
- Mob Psycho
- Naruto (including Shippuden but not Boruto)
Some other standouts I've watched recently were Vinland Saga, Monster, and Pluto and all of them were excellent.
I listed Naruto because while I realize it has its share of flaws, like being 40% filler and incessant flashbacks in every episode recounting events that happened not 2 minutes before, in the last 2-3 years, I've really missed it. I started Naruto while I was in high school back in 2012-2013 and binged it until I caught up and had to wait for new episodes weekly.
Even though I didn't start when the show first aired in 2002, I still became heavily invested just following an anime of that length for 4-5 years. The concept, story, abilities, cool villains, OSTs, and the amount of good arcs all made it an experience I look back on with fondness. It's a shame that I have no interest in Boruto at all (somehow I got about 110 episodes in before throwing in the towel). I felt like I gave it a fair chance, but it didn't take long for it to become a painful, boring slog. Oh well, it's been an eternity since I watched the Naruto movies though, so I might treat myself to the good ones whenever I'm a Naruto mood, lol.
