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!
2020 may have been excruciating to get through, but at least we had some top-notch anime to distract us from the ever-increasing ennui of an unstable world! This year has had an abundance of character-focused dramas, so we thought we’d highlight five male leads who left a distinct impression on us, even long after their stories were over. Let’s toss our cares away and get started!
So 2020 wasn’t all bad – well, it was... but having an abundance of genuinely hilarious comedy anime to take the edge off certainly helped a bit. They run the gamut of genres: dark absurdism, workplace/family sitcom, educational, reverse harem, and borderline hentai, but all of them kept up our spirits through the hard times and provided some top-tier reaction gifs that we’ll treasure forever. These are the five best comedy anime of 2020!
The Spring 2020 slice-of-life comedy/occasional heartbreaking drama Kakushigoto is all about miscommunication and keeping secrets. It’s right there in the OP’s lyrics: “The only thing we awkwardly have in common is that we can’t be honest with each other.” Hence, this show is packed with scenes where the characters think they’re discussing the same topic, but actually have entirely different subjects in mind (such as when Kakushi talks about how cute his daughter Hime is to her teacher, who thinks he’s trying to flirt with her). Let’s talk about the art of the anti-conversation in Kakushigoto!
