    Ranking of Kings is the only story of any medium I can remember experiencing where I'm rooting for EVERY character to achieve their objective. It's a testament to the absolutely astounding writing that even the main antagonist who initiated all the tragic events in the show is still deeply sympathetic. It crafts a world where there's not necessarily bad guys and good guys but people who want things desperately enough they'd hurt others to do it and unbiased observers could understand why they'd be making those choices. I want everyone to experience it because I hope it can help people see that people who disagree with you or want different things to you aren't necessarily evil or naïve or selfish or ignorant. They may have very good reasons to feel totally differently than you do and that doesn't make them lesser.

I read all the manga till i caught up, then continued in the light novel, then continued in the web novel when I finished the light novels. Through all 24 volumes I was so happy that I took a chance with Mushoku Tensei, and contrary to the usual feel when i finish a great series, I didnt feel empty, or sad, or even overjoyed, I was simply satisfied with the perfect isekai that I had the pleasure to witness. Cannot wait for the complete series to be animated, and to relive the story again. Thanks @Gigguk!

      My whole "weeb" journey started by, guess what, a friend who borrowed me the first 2 chapters of Berserk and Evangelion when I was a small kid. No regrets, as the story grew alongside of me. It gave inspiration, fun, and entertainment for the bad days. Biggest of respects and the saddest moment when he died for me. He put so much passion in his work and sadly he won't be able to see the end on paper by his own hands.

Other animated series such as Avatar The Last Airbender, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, and Attack on Titan all share this quality as well.

Examples of worldbuilding are the obvious social hierarchy's that exist throughout the series, certain reveals like titans existing within the walls after all this time, and just the anti-titan sentiment/ culture in general. Not to mention the extensive use of fictional technology such as the odm gear which has gone on to become one of the most recognizable things from AOT.

    That Mushoku Tensei’s opening credits are NOT TO BE SKIPPED make it AOTY for me.

    Sonny Boy is the saddest anime of the year for me. It bounces around different themes throughout its short run, but it always explains them in extremely unique and thought-provoking ways. The art never feels boring or plain, as it uses every trick in the book to express the themes clearly. The soundtrack is so fitting with its math-rock and use of synths throughout the ost. It fits the whole jumping through worlds vibe. Reading the author's insight on each episode also really gave me an appreciation for his writing and characters. I often think the reason that people hate it so much is because they were looking for a story that didn't exist. The main focus of Sonny Boy was always the characters, themes, and social standings in unfamiliar situations. The writer does such a good job explaining the transition into adulthood without needing to say much. Which leads me to the ending. The emptiness that Sonny Boy leaves you with is unlike any other. It isn't a super sad tear-jerker that tries too hard to make you cry. Rather, it leaves you with a hole in your chest and your mind wanting more. It is truly a one-of-a-kind anime that not everyone can appreciate since most of the viewers have not gone through that transition yet.
