According to my research the best anime in 2020 are:
1. Keep your hands of eizouken!
Release date: January 5
Director: Masaki Yuasa
Based on manga series of the same name, Keep Your Hands off Eizouken! follows high schooler Midori and her friends Sayaka and Tsubame as they attempt to establish an anime club on their school's campus and produce their own animated film. What follows is a wild odyssey of the highs and lows of trying to break into animation, the type of comedic and disarmingly earnest portrayal of youthful ambition in the face of opposition, and inexperience that reaffirms why you fell in love with anime in the first place. Brimming with meticulous nods to some of the medium's finest creators and a mischievously meta sense of creativity that'll have even the most stone-faced of viewers grinning ear to ear, it's the kind of show you could only expect from the likes of Masaaki Yuasa (Devilman Crybaby, Ping Pong the Animation, etc.) and the team behind Science Saru. Top that with an infectiously trippy title theme and score courtesy of rap duo chelmico and experimental producer Oorutaichi and you've got one of the most memorable and hilarious anime of the year. I recommend this one cause it's the best anime in 2020.
2. Deca Dance
Release date: July 8
Director: Yuzuru Tachikawa
Is it really any surprise that director Yuzuru Tachikawa (Death Parade, Mob Psycho 100) and screenwriter Hiroshi Seko (Attack on Titan, Banana Fish, Vinland Saga) are behind not only one of the best anime of 2020, but one of the biggest anime twists of the year? Deca-Dence follows the story of Natsume, a young girl living aboard a massive mobile fortress in a post-apocalyptic world who dreams of becoming one of its defenders, and Kaburagi, her taciturn mentor figure whose past and nature conceals an unfathomable secret about the nature of their world and Natsume’s very existence. What starts out as an impressively executed, if boiler-plate, mash-up of Attack on Titan by way of Mortal Engines quickly transforms into a cerebral sci-fi drama resembling a cocktail of Westworld, Monster Hunter, and mutant hybrid of Pixar's Wall-E meets Disney's Wreck-It Ralph. With dazzling action, beautiful animation, and a deliriously high-concept premise that’ll leave your head spinning, Deca-Dence is an unquestionable must-watch for any anime fan in 2020. This is also good one of my favorites enjoy.
3. Beastars
Release date: March 13
Director: Shinichi Matsumi
Orange
Set in a world of anthropomorphic animals, Beastars is the story of Legoshi, a benevolent if dour young lupine who crosses paths with Haru, an emotionally aloof and promiscuous dwarf rabbit, through serendipitous circumstances and begins to develop complicated feelings for her. Legoshi's primal and emotional awakening is exacerbated by his status as a carnivore, forcing him to confront the terrifying question of whether what he feels for Haru is simply his instinctual urge to hunt and kill, or something more. From a technical and creative standpoint, everything about Beastars is masterful. From its sincerely nuanced depiction of a society frayed between different competing castes of carnivores and herbivores, to its inspired sense of composition and lighting, Beastars is an absurd, terrifying, horny, and heartfelt anime that stands head and shoulders above the pack. As i watch this one I change the way I look at an animals hahah
4. Jujutsu Kaisen
Release Date: October 3
Director: Sunghoo Park
MAPPA
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. An athletically-gifted high schooler (Itadori Yuuri) with tremendous physical strength and the ability to converse with spirits is whisked away from his ordinary life to become a highly specialized supernatural warrior (Jujutsu Sorcerer) under the careful tutelage of an eccentric masked mentor (Satoru Gojō) after he inadvertently becomes the vessel of an immensely powerful and evil entity (Ryoumen Sukuna). No, this isn’t Naruto or Bleach or Yu Yu Hakusho; it’s Jujutsu Kaisen, and it’s awesome. Adapted from Gege Akutami’s ongoing Shonen Jump manga and helmed by an exemplary host of animators, including series director Sunghoo Park (Garo: Vanishing Line), key animator Shingo Yamashita (Birdy the Mighty Decode), and animation director Tadashi Hiramatsu (Neon Genesis Evangelion), Jujutsu Kaisen is perfect for any fan of deftly animated action anime searching for a new favorite series while patiently waiting for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba to return. With an exhilarating blend of supernatural horror-action, dizzying fight scenes, oddball characters, and charming slice-of-life humor, Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most promising new anime to premiere this year. Favorite anime of my crush hihihi.
5. Dorehedero
Release Date: May 28
Director: Yuichiro Hayashi
MAPPA
Based on Q Hayashida’s cult dark fantasy sci-fi manga of the same name, Dorohedoro is set in the Hole, a harsh derelict metropolis populated by humans and an ever-increasing number of unfortunate souls transformed into chimeric monstrosities by malicious sorcerers from another dimension. The series follows Caiman, an amnesiac bounty hunter and his best friend Nikaido as they scour the depths of the Hole in search of the sorcerer who cursed him with a lizard’s head. Oh yeah, he’s also got a sentient human head at the back of his throat that pops up Xenomorph-style whenever Caiman swallows his prey to search for the culprit. It only gets weirder from there. Packed to the brim with gnarly violence, leather-clad weirdos, pitch-black humor, and more than a few moments of light-hearted levity, Dorohedoro is a dark and impressive hybrid-CG anime that combines dystopian body-horror and slice-of-life comedy to make for one of the most exciting and unique new series to come out in 2020. Caimaaaan!! I like this anime but it's incomplete i hope they continue this one
