I'm really happy that you put Look Back on this list. It's almost impossible not to talk about it. 2024 was an amazing year for anime, there were some mind blowingly good animes. I really appreciate this videos because I almost every time miss some hidden jems and this is the only way to seek them out. And your ability to convince people to watch a particular show is amazing.
I usually watch these videos because they're funny, they're relatable, and often there will be hidden gems that I hadn't heard of that I can then check out. This one made me cry when he was talking about Orb and how it's the story of science and the scientists that have come before. In the current internet landscape and culture it really feels like being a scientist almost isn't worth it, but I guess it's still okay to keep going
@ nah bro we've already passed a point of no return, this world has begun to change, our grandparents would joke abt mobile phones, we joked abt flying cars but now all has become real, technology is evolving thus this world also changes in response
@ It's not so much about society and technology, as I do believe those will become better and better, but rather that the ability for the common man to benefit from the fruits of science will become harder and harder. The regular citizen is going to be in for a rough time in the coming years, but I like to remain hopeful that perhaps we'll weather through it and come out able to enjoy the benefits for all on the other side
I recall how much hate Gentle, La Brava, and cultural festival arc got in S4. But I always liked it. Glad the stocks in Gentle and La Brava paid off. 👌
@@michaelmaguire4147 What a surprisingly shallow and worthless rebuttal. I'm sorry your life is so pathetic and you're such an embarrassment that you thought your response was clever. I hope you find people who criticize you into self-improvement this year.
I completely understand your number 1 choice man. I'm a creative myself, I got back into photography last year after a few years of giving up on it. I originally burned myself out when my focus turned to the end result & not the process. But getting back into it last year was like reclaiming a part of me I never knew was lost. I'm currently sat in a room with a few of my newer shots on the wall. Sounds like a movie I need to give a watch myself.
God damn man, feel like it needs to be said that I always loved the way you write your videos. Like seriously, I do not watch nearly as much anime as I have in the past, but every time I watch something from you I always feel compelled to give something a try again, and thats how it was in the past few months with some shows. How you expertly make me laugh throughout the whole video and make me feel your full emotional sincerity just leaves me astounded. Amazing job.
I have watched all of MHA and never felt a lag or drop in interest (aside from a personal adrenaline hangover after the Overhaul fight that dragged through Gentle and La Brava's whole s5 arc, but that's just me). Coincidentally however, I have not read the manga.
Yeah it’s remained pretty popular in the mainstream too with the most recent volume selling the most of the entire decade it ended on. It’s a huge franchise now.
@@illmat1c42 I love it, it's such a great world and there are less than a handful of characters in the entire show that i dislike, which is rare. I do fully intend to acquire and read the manga after the anime has covered all of it (at a very slow pace because manga is expensive as heck here and I am broke), but not until then. 🙂
@@CaffieneKittythe seven seas is always available to you my friend But i highly recommend you read the manga Where the manga lacks in the anime's oscar level voice acting and hayashi yuuki's gut-punching soundtrack, it makes up for with horikoshi's beautiful art Bnha was the first anime that made me want to read the manga and the only anime that has consistently made me cry Bnha deserves all the love
For real! Just the half second clips from MHA Gigguk flashed on screen with background MHA music playing as he talked had me in tears, that show is SO GOOD, and I don't recall a single season of it I wasn't impressed.
I have read Look Back back in 2022, but I had forgotten how it went. When it's movie showed up in number one, I paused the video and watched it, despite it being 3 am here. It's beautiful. Thank you for putting it as number 1. Your description of it gave it justice too. As someone who creates videos just for my very few friends, with no reason but to put the things that I feel like making out there, without worrying too much if they'll even enjoy it, I feel deeply inspired by both this oneshot and your videos. Nowdays, though bothered by college work and anxious about entering adulthood, I found a reason to continue making them again.
I remember looking for a short comfort movie to take my mind off of my own feelings after finishing "I want to eat your pancreas", saw Look Back and read a bit of the description. I thought it was the perfect choice with it being an hour long. Oh how wrong I was and how many tears were shed. I love art. I love the feelings and messages it can bring through. The process of wanting to create and the fall of when you lose sight of it all. When I watched it, I dont think I was ok for a solid week with how much heartache I felt. And finally thought I was ok, until Gigguk reminded me and I immediately had to pause and wipe my eyes, maybe I'm just too emotional, but man even after months, it still is so impactful.
I haven't watched much anime this year aside from Frieren, Oshi no ko and Jobless Reincarnation. Started multiple shows without getting into them. I've avoided Gigguk's in a nutshell and year review videos for a long while with a slight fear of spoilers, but watching this I'm reminded why I fell in love with anime over a decade ago. Reflection plays an important role and this was oddly nostalgic in that sense. Thank you for still making such amazing content even after all these years.
This made me finally watch Look Back. Thank you. Sincerely. This affected me. I appreciate your video giving me a small push to finally watch it. Thank you..
Orb on the movement of earth was, is and will be an underrated gem 💎 for me forever. The tension, the hope and the bittersweet ending to every generation's story just makes this story a perfect phenomenon.
Ah garnt. Your jokes land. Your writing is crisp. But your editing? Your editing is peak. Watching your vids is a great example of what craftsmanship means.
i’m so glad you mentioned dead dead demons dedededestruction, it was truly one of if not my favorite show this year and i think that more people should watch it. i feel like it was an underrated gem.
I'll be honest. Never really been into your content. So when my friend sent me this video and told me I'd be happy to see number 1 I endulged them. Look Back changed my life in an amazing way since the first time I read it. Calling it my favorite creation in many MANY years would be an understatement. Creatives of all skill level should watch this film, and also read the book. I mean anyone even if you arent a creative should watch it. Its truly Fujimotos best work, and the studio who brought it to life did a fantastic job. From the music to the animation of scenes like the rain scene is insane. Its a beautiful piece of media. I went to the theatres for the first time in 10+ years to watch this movie. I was the 2nd person to buy a ticket for my theatres showing. I've watched it 6 times in total so far each time trying to show it to as many people who haven't experienced it as possible so that maybe it would effect them how tis effected me. I listen to the soundtrack everyday to start my morning work and it never fails to invigorate me. I really love Look Back, and hope others do too. Thanks for shining some spotlight on it❤
I was surprised seeing DanDaDan not being #1 and wondered "huh, what's gonna beat it on this list?" Then Look Back appeared and understood exactly why.
Bro finishing this whole video on the unresolved chord of 'Rainbow' actually cut me deep. Been writing a FF for over 15 years now and even when I wish I could give it up, I still go back to it. I still have 5 chapters to go and it calls to me, even when the noise of life is deafening. Excellent work putting Look Back as your number 1
The anime in 2024 was definitely filled with gems, and it continues in 2025 as well ..2025 might be even bigger because the winter shows are already filled with good stories . And Orb specifically deserves more and more attention, well damn that's just a good fking show.
Fun fact if you did not already know about it: Akira Toriyama was not only into manga; he also designed all character models in Chrono Trigger. I want to believe that this was partly responsible for this game's success and eventually cult status in the JRPG genre to this day (along with its soundtrack, of course) Side note: kudos to the editor for inserting an extract of FF7's "It's hard to walk on both feets". He, or she, clearly has good tastes in music :p
My only problem with dandadan is that it feels incomplete when you look at it as a standalone season. It feels as if the story has just taken its first baby steps and not much actual development has happened since the first fight. That's not really a big problem because it will get further episodes, but it being a season and not a cour, or "part 1", I expected I guess, more? It's as if you took the first 6 episodes of a romance anime and was like: "yep that's season 1, see you in a few months". Of course I'd rather them take their time and not rush things, but I just felt a bit baited.
Its definitely just a branding thing Like i think a lot of people expressed their distaste of the rise of split cour seasons, but this is one of the times where it should have been a 'part 1' not 'season 1' And the fact that 'season 2' is only coming half a year later is proof of that That is very much a meta issue which will pretty much go away once time passes It doesnt change the fact that those 12 episodes were still fucking amazing
It basically was a cour, the next season is coming in summer of this year, just 6 months after the first one ended. I have to assume, judging by how episode 12 ends, that the original plan was to have a 24 episode season, but it was broken in half due to time constraints.
I think it has something to do with the politics that go behind a show being just 12 episodes long and the way that the manga was never planned for a 12 episode run. Tbh if it finished the arc that it was currently on the anime would feel complete but I actually appreciate the pacing because it would mean that a potential season 3 would cover an entire arc that has the same level of hype for the dandadan fan as Avengers endgame.
I really wish anime studios (not necessarily Science Saru, but in general) wouldn't capitalize on hype as much, the season definitely should've been left to cook a bit longer.
Guys they released the first episodes earlier than they were going to because it was a part of the leaks and they were afraid the hype was going to die down. It wasn’t intended to stand by itself when it was made. Sucks but it’s important to keep that in mind
Your best video to me, these "best of" videos are really the highlights of your channel. Been watching for...wow, 5 years. Hope you keep going for longer is all I guess, I love these
I’m not crazy about his humor (specifically his usage of irl clips) but his analysis is normally peak. Like he summarizes Makeine perfectly. I gotta start using what he said to shill it other people.
Look Back would've been ruined by trying to make it a full season of anime. Keeping it faithful and so short it barely got a theater release in America was the best way to translate it from the page to the screen. When I get the chance to buy it in physical media, I will not only buy it but I will treasure it.
I mean it's what fujimoto would've wanted as a cinephile. He loves moves and I'm sure he'd want all his one shots to get a theatre release just so he has something new to watch lol
Leave it to Garnt to be able to make me laugh out loud several times and make me emotional all in a single video. Keep doing what you do, the way you do mate. It really really stands out in terms of heart and quality of writing. Massive respect!
(Forgive the MuchoTexto) As for me, I wouldn't put Dandadan over Dungeon Food and Orb. Dandadan's technical side is very well made, demonstrating to know how to convey even the most touching moments, the characters they introduced are quite compelling and hilariously over the top and the concept is funny and refreshing... But from what they've shown us so far, for me this is enough to deserve at most a 3rd place since overall I however found it towards the average (not in a negative sense obv). I'm sure that it will be later that the series will get into gear, but at the same time I'm afraid that in the future it isn't showing us a more "solid" plot beyond that of the mere and over-the-time repetitive "close and butt-kick" encounter with aliens and spirits altogether, even if I'm aware that Dandadan probably isn't exactly the right target to aim at. In fact, the aspect of this series I found myself empathizing with the most was the development of the friendship/love relationship about an unusual pair such as Okarun and Momo, followed by an equally shared condition of being misunderstood and marginalized by other people solely because of their strange interests. Another consideration I want to point out is that sadly I've learned to be a bit skeptical about all those "packaged anime" coming from already very popular manga, which thanks to a massive marketing they managed to acquire, in my opinion, a disproportionate hype (see also Kaiju n.8, Kagurabachi, Sakamoto Days...) since then, as our usual, we create too high expectations on a product that in the end, except for a few cases, it may turn out to be "great" but it may have nothing more stimulating to offer aside from outstanding graphics or animations. And in my experience, this was partly the case of the first season of Dandadan, albeit it still managed to surprise me. Despite the minor marketing effect but due to the fact they are much longer/one-shot format and also managed to remain consistent with the narrative with no remarkable technical flaws, I personally find that both Orb and Dungeon Food adaptations have finally displayed something truly interesting, creative and so in general unique to the anime/manga panorama, managing in a certain sense to overcome, more like in the case of the second one, the stigma of the technical side that must necessarily be impeccable to create a "good series". Picking and reviewing these two one-by-one: -Honestly, I really loved the complex worldbuilding/ecosystem in Dungeon Meshi, which is truly its adamant point in favor, as well as a fashionable design accompanied by an unexpectedly down to deep characterization and development of all the characters. Furthermore, the gags within it are very goofy and really help you grow fond of Laios and his heroes party. -Speaking of Orb: as you say in the video, Madhouse took another step ahead into adapting a concept that perhaps for the first time ever touches on many topics related to the early Western approach in the Astronomy field (that doesn't copy our history 1:1 but is still based on real main events in the past), and particularly it develops the transmission of the truth theme that "makes the world move", secretly carried forward by a collective of people who hardly know or have never met each other but who are united under the same ideal of the Universe, i.e. the heliocentric theory, plus the ambition and desire of Science itself to feast the eyes in order to re-discover and contemplate "a more beautiful reality" over the dramatic one they lived in medieval ages, which on the other side was governed through terror and mistaken beliefs from the most rich and powerful social classes, most specifically the clergy: in fact, It's truly emotional to see ep. after ep. how despite the same tragic epilogue every action and ideals of any character, insignificant or less they will have to go down in History, aimed at reaching that specific goal (not without some internal conflict heavily influenced by their personal Faith), in some way manages to make a change on their own existential purpose and even on those other people who believe in the contrary and so who try in every way to stop the course of the progress. I also love the many recurring and subtle historical or purely symbolic references in this series, which gain more and more significance as the plot goes on. However, I absolutely respect everyone's tastes and I'm glad to see that these two new dark horses, and Dandadan too, are placed so high in your ranking. ^^
I do have to say, English watchers have it ROUGH. Whereas JP has Dungeon Meshi and EN has Delicious in Dungeon, we SP fans have **Tragones y Mazmorras**. For the non-Spanish speakers, this roughly translates to "Dungeons and Gluttons".
Orb is so damn good. In a special way that slowly crept its way into my mind until suddenly, 10 episodes in I realised what a fantastic show it really is.
I haven’t even had the chance to watch the movie yet and just listening to you talk about it with the little anecdote was enough to make me almost cry. I’m gonna make it a point to watch it this weekend.
Inspiring video as always Gigguk, I specially felt the MHA section cause I also felt indifferent towards it at one point but I saw the whole thing again up until the 7th season and it really reminded me why I loved it in the first place. It's an anime I'll always recommend ❤
Quite a surprised list tbh. I inferred we have almost the same taste based on your previous videos. Just to give a perspective of my taste based on my top 10: 1- Mushoku tensei S2 part 2 2- Dandadan 3-Orb: on the movement on earth 4- Dangers in my heart S2 5- Dungeon Meshi 6- Dedede Demon Destruction 7- Re:Zero S3 8- Boku no Hero Academia S7 9- Yatagarasu 10- Puniru wa Kawai Slime/ Girls Band cry Sadly never got a chance to watch Look Back or Bang Brave Bravern but probably they will be on this list But with all that said, a great list nonetheless!!
Already watcing ORB, it's truly amazing. Not interested in Dandadan bcos it's really not my type. But Look Back and Re Zero are going on my watch list. Looking forward to them, especially Re Zero, from what I've heard.
This might be one of my favourite end-of-year summaries you've done ever. Having a mix of global megahits and hidden gems that more people need to watch to appreciate, and especially those that went completely under the radar (like Dead Dead Demons) is what annual recaps like this should be: a celebration of all things anime, both the sensational and the exceptional.
@@Water_Is_Fire there's a video on youtube that has the entire soundtrack. Other than that, i don't think it's on spotify, so you'd probably have to import or pirate it
What is missing (should be in honourable mention at least) in my opinion: - Yatagarasu: A Crow Does Not Choose Its Master - Sound! Euphonium s3 - Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season - Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War (part 3) - Blue Box
As a bio major taking an animals class when Dungeon Meshi was airing, I especially loved the attention to detail of the monsters physiology and the dungeon's ecosystem. I even read the manga afterwards and it's definitely my fav anime of the year
damn nearly a decade of this shit and i still squeal like a little girl seeing one direction when gigguk uploads something sometime somewhere in january.
My Hero reminded us why we fell in love with it. Re:Zero said you missed action in S2? KonoSuba gave us more laughs. Laid Back Camp gave us more feel good vibes. Orb gave us something philosophically different. I also really loved Mushoku, Mayonaka Punch, Sign of Affection and some other shows but Girls Band Cry really hit me on such an intense emotional level. Anime of the year for me. I have not seen Look Back yet but I am really excited to after watching this.
I call BS, I loved MHA because there was character development, dude had to get better on all levels to become a hero even with all might's power, how did it end? With "toriyama bjs" just power up after power up, and also Deku being perfect to the end, pretty boring in my opinion, just look how HxH handled it with Gon, from pure boy he started to be more grayish character, which was a price to be a hunter in the cruel reality, and that sh** is a masterpiece, MHA had good run but last season was simply bad.
I think dungeon was my top anime of the year. It allowed me to escape into a new world that felt so real but also so wholesome which is something that I feel we lack in our own world and that’s what drew me to it.
Good list though sad not to see Monogatari and Sound Euphonium on it. I understand the commitment is a lot but they are worth it. And I assume Natsume fans feel the same even though I’m behind on that
Monogatari was great, and I didn't even have to feel all that bad about it because it was a largely unproblematic set of arcs. A lot of times with Monogatari I have to just accept the bad to enjoy the good, but it's nice when there's a stretch where it just drills down on fundamentals without getting self-indulgent with the fanservice and pandering. Nadeko Draw maybe a top five arc. also somebody might be on my case for it, but I ship Nadeko/Yotsugi now and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
That is exactly my thought. The list could of been chef's kiss with those 2 and they're the two only big misses from it. Not as sad about Natsume, but would of still caught top 10 near the lower end for me. I have a feeling he hasn't watched all 3 of those though. He did say he has to rewatch Hibike s1/2 before watching season 3.
My pavlovian responce to CG anime isn't "CG anime=bad", it's "is this good CG or bad CG?" I've seen Girls' Band Cry for the first time in this video but it's absolutely good CG
No Girls' Band Cry CG isn't good. There are very few good CG anime shows (and even fewer anime that looks good *because* being full CG), most of them being good *despite* using full CG and Girls' Band Cry falls in that category. I can only think of 1 anime that look good because of their extensive use of CG on top of my head and it's the Land of the Lustruous.
@@kuroblakka I don't think my opinion is groundless considering what you can actually do with CGI. Girls' Band Cry still feels very stiff and the 3D models texture looked like toy plastic.
@@nobrainnogame4320 That's an aesthetic choice, that "plastic" is not the CGI by tiself but a filter/texture (don't remember how they called it, ) to make possible several of the facial expressions, which would look clanky or downright impossible to portray in CGI. About Houseki no Kuni...the only god tier CGI there....is in the hair. Outside of that its pretty similar to the ones from studio Orange, Shirokuma or Santzigen (to each their own field, as I know each studio has stronger points than the other 2 when it comes to CGI...like the teeth lets say).
@@nobrainnogame4320 I can understand the models part but saying it looks stiff is actually crazy, it looking the opposite of stiff is why people like it. Looks like its 60fps with lots of tiny movements unlike most other CG that tries to just imitate anime on low fps
Look Back took me... back to the time I watched Spirited Away back then as a kid in the theaters. It touched me so deep, so deep I never thought a shortfilm anime was able to hit me again. I watched this film like four more times in the months after that, but after every rewatch, I was just as struck as at the first time. Feelings only a masterpiece could evoke. I cried each time. And you know what? I'm gonna watch it again right now for the fifth time!
Ffs, it's 4am here and I had to pause to get my shit together after snort laughing so hard that I cried at the Bravern spelling joke. 😂😭 God I love these videos.
I watch these reviews not to know what was popular but to find a hidden gem I wasn't aware of in Animu... this year that's Look Back. Time to add it to the queue and see if I feel a connection to it.
Dandadan effortlessly transitioned from a subtly freaky vibe to delivering one of the most heart-wrenching episodes ever, only to double down on the freak factor in its last episode.
21:50 I feel like you weren't watching the Dangers in my Heart. Rather you liked what you saw every time you looked back from second screening. It's a show that actually shows the dynamics of two tweens, one who has matured physically. They actually are dumb like 12 year olds and it's refreshing. The dude gets taller and his voice cracks. The family is involved. THIS is the show, not the romance.
The #1 thing about the "anime industry" that ceases to amaze me is: there's always something you've never seen or heard of before. There are genres of anime, and classic anime. Yet, you can always stumble across an anime that blows your mind, or blows you away...
Gigguk's list: Honoroble Mentions: -Oshi No KO S2 -Mushoku Tensei S2 -Konosuba S3 -Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc -Frieren and Apothecary Diaries (He already talked about these shows on last year list so they're not included) 11.

Nowdays, though bothered by college work and anxious about entering adulthood, I found a reason to continue making them again.
I remember looking for a short comfort movie to take my mind off of my own feelings after finishing "I want to eat your pancreas", saw Look Back and read a bit of the description. I thought it was the perfect choice with it being an hour long. Oh how wrong I was and how many tears were shed.
I love art. I love the feelings and messages it can bring through. The process of wanting to create and the fall of when you lose sight of it all. When I watched it, I dont think I was ok for a solid week with how much heartache I felt. And finally thought I was ok, until Gigguk reminded me and I immediately had to pause and wipe my eyes, maybe I'm just too emotional, but man even after months, it still is so impactful.
I haven't watched much anime this year aside from Frieren, Oshi no ko and Jobless Reincarnation. Started multiple shows without getting into them. I've avoided Gigguk's in a nutshell and year review videos for a long while with a slight fear of spoilers, but watching this I'm reminded why I fell in love with anime over a decade ago. Reflection plays an important role and this was oddly nostalgic in that sense.
Thank you for still making such amazing content even after all these years.
This made me finally watch Look Back.
Thank you.
Sincerely.
This affected me. I appreciate your video giving me a small push to finally watch it. Thank you..
As a Hawaii local, thank you for sharing the story of Braddah Iz.
the second he said 1988 Hawaii I knew he was talking about Iz
Orb on the movement of earth was, is and will be an underrated gem 💎 for me forever. The tension, the hope and the bittersweet ending to every generation's story just makes this story a perfect phenomenon.
bro must be traumatized if thats ur pfp
If you keep enjoying doing this for 10, maybe 20 more years Gigguk, I'll be there watching your "best of anime 2045". Awesome work as always !
Ah garnt. Your jokes land. Your writing is crisp. But your editing? Your editing is peak. Watching your vids is a great example of what craftsmanship means.
to be fair the dangers in my heart does have "the thing" its just the male character who has it rather than the female character.
So right. XD
She eat
Still the absolute peak of all romance!
Not really. Her "thing" is actually that she is tall. I remember when the manga came out people were being weird about it
@@Halogen511 Nah, she eat
Dangers in my heart is so good
i’m so glad you mentioned dead dead demons dedededestruction, it was truly one of if not my favorite show this year and i think that more people should watch it. i feel like it was an underrated gem.
I came here to say the same thing. I liked a lot of anime this year but dededede by far had the biggest impact on me, it was phenomenal.
Where to watch? I can't find it in Netflix
I honestly just didn't like how it changed the flow of the manga. It was less impactful for me.
24:19 That piano🔥
i need this video so bad, i have lost my way in all these releases, u brought me back on track, thank you
I'll be honest. Never really been into your content. So when my friend sent me this video and told me I'd be happy to see number 1 I endulged them.
Look Back changed my life in an amazing way since the first time I read it. Calling it my favorite creation in many MANY years would be an understatement.
Creatives of all skill level should watch this film, and also read the book. I mean anyone even if you arent a creative should watch it. Its truly Fujimotos best work, and the studio who brought it to life did a fantastic job. From the music to the animation of scenes like the rain scene is insane. Its a beautiful piece of media.
I went to the theatres for the first time in 10+ years to watch this movie. I was the 2nd person to buy a ticket for my theatres showing. I've watched it 6 times in total so far each time trying to show it to as many people who haven't experienced it as possible so that maybe it would effect them how tis effected me. I listen to the soundtrack everyday to start my morning work and it never fails to invigorate me. I really love Look Back, and hope others do too.
Thanks for shining some spotlight on it❤
God dammit gigguk, why'd you have to remind me of your #1, I had recovered and now the feels are hitting me again
Same Man
I was surprised seeing DanDaDan not being #1 and wondered "huh, what's gonna beat it on this list?" Then Look Back appeared and understood exactly why.
Bleach tybw cour 3 got the highest rating along highest votes in this year on both imdb and MAL(for fall season) and still its not here😢
@@hazardEXE27Gigguk doesn't watch Bleach or even Tybw that's why
@@hazardEXE27 It's still the terrible last arc of Bleach, no matter how good the animation is.
@@hazardEXE27 on what? A facebook page?
This is the first year I've kept up with all the anime coming out and watching this made me feel like anime can only get better from here
Frieren was not only the best anime of 2024 but will go down as one of the greatest anime of all time. An absolute masterpiece.
1:55 is that bollywood tv serial edit, my god 😂
Yeah 😂 but used on a much better scale
Bro finishing this whole video on the unresolved chord of 'Rainbow' actually cut me deep. Been writing a FF for over 15 years now and even when I wish I could give it up, I still go back to it. I still have 5 chapters to go and it calls to me, even when the noise of life is deafening. Excellent work putting Look Back as your number 1
The anime in 2024 was definitely filled with gems, and it continues in 2025 as well ..2025 might be even bigger because the winter shows are already filled with good stories . And Orb specifically deserves more and more attention, well damn that's just a good fking show.
togenashitogeari might be one of the best in-anime bands of all time. they deserve so much more recognition.
Based!
Fun fact if you did not already know about it: Akira Toriyama was not only into manga; he also designed all character models in Chrono Trigger. I want to believe that this was partly responsible for this game's success and eventually cult status in the JRPG genre to this day (along with its soundtrack, of course)
Side note: kudos to the editor for inserting an extract of FF7's "It's hard to walk on both feets". He, or she, clearly has good tastes in music :p
Banger! Thank you for your work.
My only problem with dandadan is that it feels incomplete when you look at it as a standalone season. It feels as if the story has just taken its first baby steps and not much actual development has happened since the first fight. That's not really a big problem because it will get further episodes, but it being a season and not a cour, or "part 1", I expected I guess, more? It's as if you took the first 6 episodes of a romance anime and was like: "yep that's season 1, see you in a few months". Of course I'd rather them take their time and not rush things, but I just felt a bit baited.
Its definitely just a branding thing
Like i think a lot of people expressed their distaste of the rise of split cour seasons, but this is one of the times where it should have been a 'part 1' not 'season 1'
And the fact that 'season 2' is only coming half a year later is proof of that
That is very much a meta issue which will pretty much go away once time passes
It doesnt change the fact that those 12 episodes were still fucking amazing
It basically was a cour, the next season is coming in summer of this year, just 6 months after the first one ended. I have to assume, judging by how episode 12 ends, that the original plan was to have a 24 episode season, but it was broken in half due to time constraints.
I think it has something to do with the politics that go behind a show being just 12 episodes long and the way that the manga was never planned for a 12 episode run. Tbh if it finished the arc that it was currently on the anime would feel complete but I actually appreciate the pacing because it would mean that a potential season 3 would cover an entire arc that has the same level of hype for the dandadan fan as Avengers endgame.
I really wish anime studios (not necessarily Science Saru, but in general) wouldn't capitalize on hype as much, the season definitely should've been left to cook a bit longer.
Guys they released the first episodes earlier than they were going to because it was a part of the leaks and they were afraid the hype was going to die down. It wasn’t intended to stand by itself when it was made. Sucks but it’s important to keep that in mind
Your best video to me, these "best of" videos are really the highlights of your channel. Been watching for...wow, 5 years. Hope you keep going for longer is all I guess, I love these
Garnt sells an anime better than the entire marketing team of that studio!! Script at it's peak.
I know right? Finally gonna watch Bravern after avoiding it all year..darn it Garnt....
@@robyngatomon1991 That anime has stayed on my PTW list all year...
I’m not crazy about his humor (specifically his usage of irl clips) but his analysis is normally peak. Like he summarizes Makeine perfectly. I gotta start using what he said to shill it other people.
Gigguk man. I just need it. Thank you for being the creator you are.
Look Back would've been ruined by trying to make it a full season of anime. Keeping it faithful and so short it barely got a theater release in America was the best way to translate it from the page to the screen. When I get the chance to buy it in physical media, I will not only buy it but I will treasure it.
Reminds me of the good old OVA days when they were just whatever length they had to be to fit the story and could be 45 minutes, or an hour long.
I mean it's what fujimoto would've wanted as a cinephile. He loves moves and I'm sure he'd want all his one shots to get a theatre release just so he has something new to watch lol
Leave it to Garnt to be able to make me laugh out loud several times and make me emotional all in a single video. Keep doing what you do, the way you do mate. It really really stands out in terms of heart and quality of writing. Massive respect!
(Forgive the MuchoTexto) As for me, I wouldn't put Dandadan over Dungeon Food and Orb.
Dandadan's technical side is very well made, demonstrating to know how to convey even the most touching moments, the characters they introduced are quite compelling and hilariously over the top and the concept is funny and refreshing... But from what they've shown us so far, for me this is enough to deserve at most a 3rd place since overall I however found it towards the average (not in a negative sense obv). I'm sure that it will be later that the series will get into gear, but at the same time I'm afraid that in the future it isn't showing us a more "solid" plot beyond that of the mere and over-the-time repetitive "close and butt-kick" encounter with aliens and spirits altogether, even if I'm aware that Dandadan probably isn't exactly the right target to aim at. In fact, the aspect of this series I found myself empathizing with the most was the development of the friendship/love relationship about an unusual pair such as Okarun and Momo, followed by an equally shared condition of being misunderstood and marginalized by other people solely because of their strange interests.
Another consideration I want to point out is that sadly I've learned to be a bit skeptical about all those "packaged anime" coming from already very popular manga, which thanks to a massive marketing they managed to acquire, in my opinion, a disproportionate hype (see also Kaiju n.8, Kagurabachi, Sakamoto Days...) since then, as our usual, we create too high expectations on a product that in the end, except for a few cases, it may turn out to be "great" but it may have nothing more stimulating to offer aside from outstanding graphics or animations. And in my experience, this was partly the case of the first season of Dandadan, albeit it still managed to surprise me.
Despite the minor marketing effect but due to the fact they are much longer/one-shot format and also managed to remain consistent with the narrative with no remarkable technical flaws, I personally find that both Orb and Dungeon Food adaptations have finally displayed something truly interesting, creative and so in general unique to the anime/manga panorama, managing in a certain sense to overcome, more like in the case of the second one, the stigma of the technical side that must necessarily be impeccable to create a "good series".
Picking and reviewing these two one-by-one:
-Honestly, I really loved the complex worldbuilding/ecosystem in Dungeon Meshi, which is truly its adamant point in favor, as well as a fashionable design accompanied by an unexpectedly down to deep characterization and development of all the characters. Furthermore, the gags within it are very goofy and really help you grow fond of Laios and his heroes party.
-Speaking of Orb: as you say in the video, Madhouse took another step ahead into adapting a concept that perhaps for the first time ever touches on many topics related to the early Western approach in the Astronomy field (that doesn't copy our history 1:1 but is still based on real main events in the past), and particularly it develops the transmission of the truth theme that "makes the world move", secretly carried forward by a collective of people who hardly know or have never met each other but who are united under the same ideal of the Universe, i.e. the heliocentric theory, plus the ambition and desire of Science itself to feast the eyes in order to re-discover and contemplate "a more beautiful reality" over the dramatic one they lived in medieval ages, which on the other side was governed through terror and mistaken beliefs from the most rich and powerful social classes, most specifically the clergy: in fact, It's truly emotional to see ep. after ep. how despite the same tragic epilogue every action and ideals of any character, insignificant or less they will have to go down in History, aimed at reaching that specific goal (not without some internal conflict heavily influenced by their personal Faith), in some way manages to make a change on their own existential purpose and even on those other people who believe in the contrary and so who try in every way to stop the course of the progress. I also love the many recurring and subtle historical or purely symbolic references in this series, which gain more and more significance as the plot goes on.
However, I absolutely respect everyone's tastes and I'm glad to see that these two new dark horses, and Dandadan too, are placed so high in your ranking. ^^
Such a based muchotexto you wrote, my friend. In my opinion Chi is the best anime aired out in 2024 and Delicious in Dungeon is amazing too!
I ain’t reading all that I’m happy for you though or sorry that happened
I will always give Pluto the planet pass, my homie was done dirty.
I do have to say, English watchers have it ROUGH. Whereas JP has Dungeon Meshi and EN has Delicious in Dungeon, we SP fans have **Tragones y Mazmorras**. For the non-Spanish speakers, this roughly translates to "Dungeons and Gluttons".
Oh, nice play of words with this one! ^^
THANK YOU FOR SHOUTING OUT ORB. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ANIME
Orb is so damn good. In a special way that slowly crept its way into my mind until suddenly, 10 episodes in I realised what a fantastic show it really is.
I haven’t even had the chance to watch the movie yet and just listening to you talk about it with the little anecdote was enough to make me almost cry. I’m gonna make it a point to watch it this weekend.
31:24 Carry On My Wayward Son just hit me with 15 seasons of nostalgia holy crap
Bro I feel that in my soul. I loved Supernatural, it feels like isekai anime in the same way you know its not the best, but it's a guilty pleasure.
@ literally the scooby doo episode lmao
thank you for making me cry every year
Inspiring video as always Gigguk, I specially felt the MHA section cause I also felt indifferent towards it at one point but I saw the whole thing again up until the 7th season and it really reminded me why I loved it in the first place. It's an anime I'll always recommend ❤
Thank god this came out or i would’ve had to form my own opinion
Quite a surprised list tbh. I inferred we have almost the same taste based on your previous videos. Just to give a perspective of my taste based on my top 10:
1- Mushoku tensei S2 part 2
2- Dandadan
3-Orb: on the movement on earth
4- Dangers in my heart S2
5- Dungeon Meshi
6- Dedede Demon Destruction
7- Re:Zero S3
8- Boku no Hero Academia S7
9- Yatagarasu
10- Puniru wa Kawai Slime/ Girls Band cry
Sadly never got a chance to watch Look Back or Bang Brave Bravern but probably they will be on this list
But with all that said, a great list nonetheless!!
16:51 Too many Losing Heroines had that girl with the super cute voice.
27:04 Delicious in Dungeon - best show of the year!
Already watcing ORB, it's truly amazing.
Not interested in Dandadan bcos it's really not my type.
But Look Back and Re Zero are going on my watch list. Looking forward to them, especially Re Zero, from what I've heard.
Every time I come across Look Back I'm immediately reminded of the beautiful emotional gut punch it is. Perfection.
This might be one of my favourite end-of-year summaries you've done ever. Having a mix of global megahits and hidden gems that more people need to watch to appreciate, and especially those that went completely under the radar (like Dead Dead Demons) is what annual recaps like this should be: a celebration of all things anime, both the sensational and the exceptional.
Tokyo City Nightlife by Macross 82-99 in the intro 🙏
yo whats that song at 22:00? Is it from girls band cry, cuz I cant find it in the ost
Because the Devil May Cry
yeah it's from the girls band cry ost, it's called フェスで人気でそうなバンドの曲 or "songs from bands that are likely to be popular at festivals"
where can i find it ?
@@Water_Is_Fire there's a video on youtube that has the entire soundtrack. Other than that, i don't think it's on spotify, so you'd probably have to import or pirate it
@@notbuddha5 aight thanks
Jesus. Tying in Iz's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow in the end just broke me. 100% deserved as the top spot.
What is missing (should be in honourable mention at least) in my opinion:
- Yatagarasu: A Crow Does Not Choose Its Master
- Sound! Euphonium s3
- Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season
- Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War (part 3)
- Blue Box
the setup for "somewhere over the rainbow" in the end was great. Well done Gigguk, good list.
As a bio major taking an animals class when Dungeon Meshi was airing, I especially loved the attention to detail of the monsters physiology and the dungeon's ecosystem. I even read the manga afterwards and it's definitely my fav anime of the year
The Dangers In My Heart mentioned 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
damn nearly a decade of this shit and i still squeal like a little girl seeing one direction when gigguk uploads something sometime somewhere in january.
I was fucking dying (no pun intended) at "Girls Band Die" 🤣🤣🤣
Girls Band Cry cuz the Devil May Cry
that series of puns was just really well played
My Hero reminded us why we fell in love with it. Re:Zero said you missed action in S2? KonoSuba gave us more laughs. Laid Back Camp gave us more feel good vibes. Orb gave us something philosophically different. I also really loved Mushoku, Mayonaka Punch, Sign of Affection and some other shows but Girls Band Cry really hit me on such an intense emotional level. Anime of the year for me. I have not seen Look Back yet but I am really excited to after watching this.
I call BS, I loved MHA because there was character development, dude had to get better on all levels to become a hero even with all might's power, how did it end? With "toriyama bjs" just power up after power up, and also Deku being perfect to the end, pretty boring in my opinion, just look how HxH handled it with Gon, from pure boy he started to be more grayish character, which was a price to be a hunter in the cruel reality, and that sh** is a masterpiece, MHA had good run but last season was simply bad.
I think dungeon was my top anime of the year. It allowed me to escape into a new world that felt so real but also so wholesome which is something that I feel we lack in our own world and that’s what drew me to it.
me too dungeon meshi was something sepcial the world the characters and the fantasy ecosystem was way too good !
When Gigguk's list and Mother's Basement overlap, I know it's time to start watching some of these.
The best thing about the Dandadan anime: This was just the tip of the iceberg
Good list though sad not to see Monogatari and Sound Euphonium on it. I understand the commitment is a lot but they are worth it. And I assume Natsume fans feel the same even though I’m behind on that
I tend to agree. I assume they would be there if he had watched them.
He's not up to date with Monogatari
Monogatari was great, and I didn't even have to feel all that bad about it because it was a largely unproblematic set of arcs. A lot of times with Monogatari I have to just accept the bad to enjoy the good, but it's nice when there's a stretch where it just drills down on fundamentals without getting self-indulgent with the fanservice and pandering. Nadeko Draw maybe a top five arc. also somebody might be on my case for it, but I ship Nadeko/Yotsugi now and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
Glad to see someone mention Hibike! Euphonium. It’s indeed sad not to see on this list. It’s my top anime that aired this
That is exactly my thought. The list could of been chef's kiss with those 2 and they're the two only big misses from it.
Not as sad about Natsume, but would of still caught top 10 near the lower end for me.
I have a feeling he hasn't watched all 3 of those though. He did say he has to rewatch Hibike s1/2 before watching season 3.
Great vid. I've looked over a few similar channels but this one has a great style to it. Well done for your efforts in knocking it out 👍
I keep saying that people have been sleeping on the Ranma 1/2 remake this year it's so good
It is kind of like a good book with old cover.
Pretty sure he checked it out
I grew up on Ranma 1/2. The remake made me happy, and I hope it ends up being a complete adaptation.
My pavlovian responce to CG anime isn't "CG anime=bad", it's "is this good CG or bad CG?" I've seen Girls' Band Cry for the first time in this video but it's absolutely good CG
No Girls' Band Cry CG isn't good. There are very few good CG anime shows (and even fewer anime that looks good *because* being full CG), most of them being good *despite* using full CG and Girls' Band Cry falls in that category. I can only think of 1 anime that look good because of their extensive use of CG on top of my head and it's the Land of the Lustruous.
@nobrainnogame4320 That's your opinion, looks pretty good to me and Gigguk
@@kuroblakka I don't think my opinion is groundless considering what you can actually do with CGI. Girls' Band Cry still feels very stiff and the 3D models texture looked like toy plastic.
@@nobrainnogame4320 That's an aesthetic choice, that "plastic" is not the CGI by tiself but a filter/texture (don't remember how they called it, ) to make possible several of the facial expressions, which would look clanky or downright impossible to portray in CGI.
About Houseki no Kuni...the only god tier CGI there....is in the hair. Outside of that its pretty similar to the ones from studio Orange, Shirokuma or Santzigen (to each their own field, as I know each studio has stronger points than the other 2 when it comes to CGI...like the teeth lets say).
@@nobrainnogame4320 I can understand the models part but saying it looks stiff is actually crazy, it looking the opposite of stiff is why people like it. Looks like its 60fps with lots of tiny movements unlike most other CG that tries to just imitate anime on low fps
Dandadan blew my socks off, never fallen into a story so hard.
Look Back was shorter than any film I'd watched in the last year but it stuck with me so much more than any of them.
Look Back took me... back to the time I watched Spirited Away back then as a kid in the theaters. It touched me so deep, so deep I never thought a shortfilm anime was able to hit me again. I watched this film like four more times in the months after that, but after every rewatch, I was just as struck as at the first time. Feelings only a masterpiece could evoke. I cried each time. And you know what? I'm gonna watch it again right now for the fifth time!
It's so, so, so good. The manga was already pretty great, but I honestly feel that the direction in this movie elevated it further.
Me having tears in my eyes while he appreciates The dangers in my heart is how I know I'm cooked
No, you cooked. You have amazing taste.
fuck dude its 2am but look back at #1 just hits. raw art is unmatched, any work that so plainly bares the author's soul is bound to be impactful
Ffs, it's 4am here and I had to pause to get my shit together after snort laughing so hard that I cried at the Bravern spelling joke. 😂😭

23:02 "average new Yorker" killed me
i remember garnt saying that the top 4 can go in any order on stream.
years blazing through so fast i thought i watches the last of these 3 months ago
I watch these reviews not to know what was popular but to find a hidden gem I wasn't aware of in Animu... this year that's Look Back. Time to add it to the queue and see if I feel a connection to it.
Dandadan effortlessly transitioned from a subtly freaky vibe to delivering one of the most heart-wrenching episodes ever, only to double down on the freak factor in its last episode.
Fuking overrated
This was really the year of Netflix for anime. Dan Dan Dan, dungeon, and orb
eh in the US Dandadan was on hulu and crunchyroll too, let's not give netflix too much credit. netflix also has Blue Box though
Dan da dan
40 seconds have been cut off in just 3 hours.
Wow RUclips, thank you
21:50 I feel like you weren't watching the Dangers in my Heart. Rather you liked what you saw every time you looked back from second screening. It's a show that actually shows the dynamics of two tweens, one who has matured physically. They actually are dumb like 12 year olds and it's refreshing. The dude gets taller and his voice cracks. The family is involved. THIS is the show, not the romance.
Disappointed that there was no mention of Sound! Euphonium. Talk about an amazing finale to a stellar anime.
The Dangers in My Heart may be the best romance of all time. Not just within anime, in general.
See more if you really think that
Try the fragrant flower blooms with dignity
I agree the best ever
The #1 thing about the "anime industry" that ceases to amaze me is:
there's always something you've never seen or heard of before. There are genres of anime, and classic anime.
Yet, you can always stumble across an anime that blows your mind, or blows you away...
