The end of an anime (or anime season) is difficult to do in a satisfying way – all too often, an engaging show will drop the ball in its final episode and either leave plot threads unresolved for a sequel that may never happen or will wimp out of giving the ending the kind of weight and reverence it deserves. Luckily, though, that’s not always the case, and we’re here today to celebrate the shows that got it right with the 5 best season finales and series endings of 2020. Let’s begin!
Now that 2020 has at last faded into the mists of time, we can look back with fresh eyes at the amazing anime that helped us muddle through the battle of attrition that was this year. We had long-awaited sequels, feel-good fantasies, juggernaut shounen shows, original anime bursting at the seams with creativity, and much more. Let’s check out the top 10 best anime of 2020!
Most anime either take place in the contemporary real world or in a fantasy world that's pretty much divorced from reality, but sometimes a show comes along that dares to tackle a historical era – one with its own specific fashions and technological limitations. It seems obvious that the creators should aim to be as accurate as possible to prevent the viewers' suspension of disbelief from shattering (since live-action period pieces get blasted for lazy costuming all the time), but it's also true that anime is known for its off-the-wall stylization. Should we punish JoJo's Bizarre Adventure for not depicting Victorian England with the same heavily researched accuracy as Vinland Saga portrays the Viking era? Let's take a closer look at some historical anime to see how important period costume accuracy actually is.
Considering everything that’s happened this year to put us in a constant state of mind-numbing dissociative stress, you can’t be blamed for missing out on some new anime – especially since the lockdowns in early spring caused many delays and cancellations that threw the seasonal schedules out of whack. So here are some of our favorite 2020 anime that you may have missed the first time around. They’re sure to provide some much-needed escapism so you can momentarily forget about the real life grimdark storyline we’re existing in right now!
With the Fall 2020 anime season now in full swing, it’s time to take a look back at Summer 2020’s finest moments. Today we’ll be taking a closer look at the scenes that made us laugh the most this past season – we’ve got rap battles, slapstick comedy, drinking contests, horribly cast plays, and much more. Let’s get started!
P.A. Works’ original anime Appare-Ranman is colorful, bursting with creativity, and absolutely deserves more attention than it got. In the late 1800s, passionate but socially awkward teen genius Appare accidentally strands himself and his strait-laced samurai chaperone Kosame across the sea in California, where the very first Trans-America Wild Race is about to begin. Hoping to use the prize money to return home, they build an experimental car and join the race along with several more eclectic characters who will become either their best friends or their worst enemies as they speed across the Wild West.
