Winter 2024 Mid-Season Rankings

Another year, another season, another anime list~ Not a big one; winter 2024 didn’t have much that caught my interest, and while on one hand I’ve managed to avoid picking up anything bad for a change, on the other only a small number truly excite me.

Anyway, here they are, and let me know in the comments if I’ve overlooked something amazing. 🙂

Winter 2023 End of Season Rankings

Enough procrastinating, here are my very belated final thoughts on this Winter’s anime. A lot of great series, but it’s amazing how quickly I start to forget things once a new season begins!

Winter 2023 Mid-Season Rankings

New year, new anime! And Winter 2023 has certainly delivered some good ones, enough that I picked up one more than originally planned. That plus the three ongoing from Autumn brings my lineup to a total of 14, and here they are, ranked as usual in completely subjective order:

Winter 2022 End of Season Rankings

Time to wrap up the Winter season, though so far Spring has me wrapping up far more than the last few months did in order to keep warm!

There’s not a massive amount of difference from my mid-season rankings TBH – one fewer series since Baraou no Souretsu is ongoing and I wanted to focus on the ones that have ended, but only one minor shift aside from that.

Winter 2022 Mid-Season Rankings

Mid-season thoughts time~ For 2022, I’m only aiming to pick up 8 new series per season – we’ll see how long that lasts, but I managed it for Winter at least!

To bulk the list out a bit, I’m also including the three continuing Autumn 2021 anime; I avoided doing so in the past as I felt the extra ~12 episodes of development would give them an advantage… not necessarily the case, as you’ll soon see. 😛

Winter 2021 End of Season Rankings

Here are my thoughts on all the anime series I picked up last season – lineup is exactly the same as for my mid-season thoughts, except that I left out Hataraku Saibou!! due to it finishing only a week later. All content I’m already familiar with from the manga, so I have nothing to add.

Winter 2021 Mid-Season Rankings

Winter 2021’s episode counts are all over the place, some shows are about 3 weeks ahead of others! For the sake of fairness, I’ve watched no more than 7 episodes of any of these, even where 9 or more are available. I’m looking forward to finally catching up with them all again on my day off tomorrow. 😮

Winter 2020 End of Season Rankings

Before my fading memories of this Winter’s anime are all overwritten by new Spring first episodes, here are my thoughts on their endings.

For the first time ever, this list covers exactly the same titles as my mid-season rankings, with no late additions, because nothing continued beyond 13 episodes. I believe Plunderer was the only thing in a season of over 30 that did carry on. Split cours seem to be the future, not sure what my thoughts on that topic are, but I digress… Starting with #16:

Winter 2020 Mid-Season Rankings

Time flies, and we’re already half-way through this year’s first anime season~ And 2020 seems to be off to a good start… so good in fact, that I ended up picking up twice the number of series as usual! 😮

And so, for the first time in many years, I present my mid-season thoughts on the sixteen shows that I’ve been following weekly:

Winter 2019 End of Season Rankings

Two weeks into the Spring season! Not that you’d know it, the weather is still freezing. Best that I share my final thoughts on this year’s Winter series, before I forget all about them. 😛
