I made my 3x3 and I’m sorry it’s uneven but I really, really couldn’t be bothered making it even.

Okay so an explanation of everything:

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - An anime that’s stupidly fucking good for several reasons including but not limited to a wonderfully crafted story that tells a pretty dark take based on a genre stereotyped as fluffy and childish. A cast of really, really good characters are created, the art direction is wonderful and the soundtrack is absolutely sublime. I could go in greater depth but nah. A perfect 10, imo.

Yuru Camp – Anime of the season as I have stated multiple times. Yuru Camp is probably the single most relaxing thing I’ve ever seen, with the general tone of the show being complimented by the charming art direction and relaxing soundtrack, plus what’s probably my favourite ED song in anything ever, with its only competition being something later on the list. The relationship developed between Rin and Nadeshiko is super convincing and really heart-warming. Only real problem is that the rest of the cast aren’t really well realised.

Love Live & Love Live Sunshine – Kinda cheating here but you know. Looking through my blog, you can find more than enough instances of me praising Love Live, as well as a lot of criticism of it, too. Love Live definitely isn’t the best anime I’ve seen, as a matter of fact it’s probably like the second or third worst on this list from a critical standpoint, but I fucking adore it. Original SIP has probably made me cry more than any other anime, and the 18 girls created across both series, I completely adore. Wonderfully fun series that I could honestly recommend to anyone.

Made in Abyss – I think Made in Abyss is like, the best thing I’ve ever seen. Everything, and I mean everything, is crafted with such extensive thought and detail. The world is absolutely jaw-droppingly beautiful, the soundtrack by Australia’s very own Kevin Penkin is fucking gorgeous, the art design is incredible, the characters are wonderfully realised, the directing is impeccable, etc. Plus, the anime fucking toys with your emotions. It grabs you by the testicles and rips them off, before making you literally choke to death on them and then digging up your grave and cutting up your corpse. I didn’t watch too many anime last year, but Made in Abyss fucking annihilates most of its competition by such an absurdly huge margin. I can’t even begin to convey just how excellent this anime is. Everything it does, it does perfectly. So long as you’re okay with brutally excessive depictions of violence and gore towards a literal 12 year old, give this a watch. It’s definitely worth your time.

Kiniro Mosaic – So after not really being into anime for a couple of years at that point, and having never been exposed to the CGDCS genre, @meme-emperor forced me to watch this. Kinmosa is one of the most consistently entertaining and funny cute girl anime I’ve ever seen. The art style, though it makes the anime look a little older than it actually is, is incredibly pleasing to look at, and all of the characters are wonderfully entertaining and cute. Plus, I really, really like Ayaya. For being the anime that reintroduced me to anime and introduced me to the slice of life genre, there’s no way it couldn’t make it on this list.

Dragon Ball – This is probably me cheating even more than putting the two Love Lives on the same spot. See, my history with Dragon Ball isn’t the same as most. I grew up as a child aware that it existed, but didn’t know much about it. However, throughout my life from like the ages 10+, I’ve kinda just learned a lot about Dragon Ball and DBZ without ever watching them properly. I saw lots of Z from when my little brother was watching it, but I wasn’t watching it with him. I knew the plot fairly generally from playing some of the games, and since Trunks was my favourite character I picked up DBS around when his arc started. I’d seen the second two Broly movies, Wrath of the Dragon, Battle of Gods and Ressurection “F”, but I’d still never truly seen the anime. In short, I had way more knowledge than I reasonably should have for having never seen Z proper. At a date I can go and find because it’s on this sideblog, I read all of the Dragon Ball manga, and that was my first full exposure to the story of Dragon Ball. And yet, I’ve still never seen Z. Dragon Ball is on this list because it’s been weirdly super present in my life without me ever watching it, and it’s a franchise I really like for many reasons, even if I went into none of them here that would justify it belonging on this list.

K-On – This is the best cute girl anime I’ve ever seen. Everything I can praise any other cute girl anime for, I can praise K-On for doing better. K-On creates a cast of actually interesting, actually likeable, and most importantly, actually believable cute girls that develop actually convincing relationships with one another. And yes, that’s a lot of “actually” in one sentence, but that’s because the CGDCS genre is so full of surface level trash (Slow Start) that I truly appreciate something good like K-On. With the exception of maybe Tsumugi who needed a little more development, all of the characters are fully realised and have proper, meaningful and obvious character development. K-On is as relaxing as an anime can be, with incredibly warm colours and pleasant animation and art style. K-On is also home to that ED I alluded to that may be my favourite – “Don’t Say Lazy”. K-On is so full of substance that I can’t even begin to describe how incredibly good it is, but in short, K-On is believable. Digibro has like a 2 part series where he goes into much greater depth than I have about why he loves K-On so much, and we’ve got pretty much identical opinions there. Just go watch that if you truly want to know why I love it so much, and why you should watch it if you haven’t already.

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon – Maid Dragon is the hardest anime to recommend on this list because of Tohru’s breasts and Lucoa’s everything, but once you’re past those, this anime is fucking god tier. Maid Dragon is an absolutely wonderful tale about family, and more specifically family not related by blood. It teaches a lot of beautiful lessons about relationships and parenthood, and I could probably write a full essay on why Kobayashi herself is such a wonderfully crafted and incredibly interesting character and why the relationships she develops across the anime are so fucking excellent. Also, I think Maid Dragon is straight up the funniest anime I’ve ever seen. Every single episode, nay, every scene is packed with so much good, well-crafted comedy and you’re absolutely guaranteed to laugh when you watch it. The way it so flawlessly intertwines comedy and its more serious moments is also so incredibly impressive. Plus, all of your typical technical shit’s really good. The art style is cute, the animation is stupid fucking good, especially the action scenes, and all of the voice acting is really great too. Of course it’s hard to recommend, “D for dragon” isn’t a phrase you’d want your mum to hear, but, again, as soon as you get past that, it’s one of the best anime out there, and legitimately competes with Made in Abyss for best anime of 2017.

Sword Art Online – Okay, so, I’ve got a lot of explaining to do. SAO is fucking trash, and is probably the worst anime I’ve ever seen – definitely the worst I’ve ever seen to completion. Sword Art Online has so few redeeming qualities and so, so, so many problems present in virtually every single frame of its run time. I could put so many other anime on this spot, I could put your Death Notes, your Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhoods, your No Game No Lifes, like every cute girl show I’ve ever seen, I could put so many shows that are objectively better in every conceivable way in this slot, so why in the fuck is SAO here? See, my understanding of a 3x3 is that it’s not made up of your favourite anime, it’s made up of anime that mean something to you. And SAO means something to me. SAO is complete fucking garbage, but I love it. And I love that I used to love it unconditionally. The fact that 13 year old me thought that SAO was literally the best thing ever is embarrassing, and yet I don’t feel guilty. SAO is nostalgic for me, it’s the most nostalgic thing I know. It reminds me of the time I was a complete fucking tool. And I don’t regret that time. SAO has too many problems to count, it’s irredeemable garbage, but I can’t stop loving it. Yes, there are so many better shows I could put here, but none of them mean as much to me as SAO does.

Louis' eyes blinking twice while listening to that strong lady talking it's one of the most beautiful thing I've seen in my entire life. I really understand why Harry said you just have to sit and admire him, nothing has been truer. He (as his husband) is absolute someone you should inspire to be, even if you are older than he (like I am) you can only hope to grow with so much kindness, compassion, talent, courage and strength. God, I'm really emotional with only 2 videos of him. I'm a mess
