It's been a good year for anime. The 2019 season gave us an excellent job of an internal psychologist Mob Pyscho 100, and heart-warming romances with shows like Kaguya-sama: Love is war. There have been some great shows that have taken us everywhere from singing contests to Mars too Carole & Tuesday, to the times of the vikings in The Vinland Saga. There was even an awesome series close to the edge and it found success.
But with all these new shows being released, filtering through all of them to find the best ones may sound impossible. Fortunately we are here to point you in the right direction for all the great anime of 2019.
Promise Neverland
Promise andland it comes from solid source materials. Despite only being controversial in 2016, the manga on which the show is based has become one of the most popular claims in recent years, drawing a group of fans because of its mysterious structure and often shocking images. The story follows a group of children living in an orphanage. One day the children run away from the excuses and find out why they shouldn't have left them. Outside of their complicated home is a terrible world of demons and their orphan has a worse purpose than they thought.
With such strong and awesome support, it's easy to see how anime could have been overturned in popularity. Fortunately, fans get something more out of it, with CloverWorks introducing a great manga scene that helps bring its best and most awesome moments to life.

Mob Psycho 100 (season 2)
The second season of Mob Psycho 100 features the same elements of a plot we know and love from season 1. Mob is a tough little boy esper
This season finds the Mob facing powerful enemies with very high stakes, but the message remains the same: empathy for some people is more powerful than ESP. Studio Bones (The Soul meal, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) does a great job that includes both episodes of the show, the touching pieces.

Kaguya-sama: Love is war
Kaguya It's a wonderful story of what happens when two students in love are so stubborn to admit to each other. Each episode features a student council president, Miyuki Shirogane, and her VP, Kaguya Shinomiya, trying to get someone to show interest in a series of concept games.
While this may be a nice dry spot for a living, most of the show revolves around clever conversations, A-1 photos showing hijinks excessively sentimental, provoking a great deal of tension between the two. If the show doesn't make you laugh too much, expect another physical reaction – it's funny.

The demon Slayer
There is no shortage of good anime about demons, or people who use katanas to kill things. The demon Slayer joins the ranges of those shows with a very simple plot … well, that's the whole title of the show. But when the series distinguishes itself by using beautiful images and the way it always blurs the line between horror and action. Curated by Ufotable, the studio behind the Fate series, Demon Slayer's battle looks the best of any anime this year and the demonic formation itself is often exhilarating.

Fruit Basket
Fruit Basket follows the story of Tohru Honda, a young orphan girl who recently started living with the Soma family. However, the Soma family maintains a curse: when they are attracted to the opposite sex, other family members turn into an animal from the Chinese zodiac. Tohru is known to the family and begins to teach it with love and compassion – two things that are missing from the Soma family.
This beautiful reminiscence of the original 2001 anime series is more than a touch of nostalgia. This version of the anime stays true to the manga, introducing characters never seen in the original run, and ultimately ending the story.

Alcohol
Alcohol tells the story of Hyakkimaru, a ronin who had been paralyzed by his own limbs and demons because of receiving promises made by his father when he was young. However, if Hyakkimaru can hunt down other alien creatures that have stolen its members, it can find them. During his hunt for these demons, Hyakkimaru encounters a young thief named Dororo who accompanies him on his way.
Because of the folktale-style history, the whole show feels like a myth that has been passed on from generation to generation. She is full of inky black and color changing paint. The few light colors that exist need attention, and they also reflect the feeling of an old picture that, while slightly damaged, is still beautiful. Dororo action scenes have great scenes, but the best moments are when just watching their characters move the world is quiet and the worlds of the show are visible in all their glory. Alcohol is one of the best samurai anime in the air over the last few years, but it's also one of the best animations of any kind.

The Vinland Saga
The Vinland Saga is an anime about the Vikings. Not, like, space-vikings or anything like that – just regular vikings. The show follows a young viking named Torfinn, who is based on a real viking, as he travels through the harsh Scandinavian landscape and dangerous waters of the Atlantic.
There is no other anime like this, and the premise alone can make it look good. But the unique approach is as close to reality as the anon shonen can command, the complex emotions about the violence, and the remarkable construction of the characters, directly from the manga, the famous first-year Makoto Yukimura, to help turn the show into something truly special, and the best series of the year.
