Joey saying there are no jujutsu kaisen manga fans is just astounding to me
Can't even call him Josh the Manga Lad anymore...
yeah bruh the manga is amazing especially shibuya arc went crazy
Literally 🤣
it actually hurt me when he said that
Plus jjk manga sold a lot of volumes (about 70 millions according to wiki) so again,idk how he thinks there are no fans of the manga
I think I'd add March Comes in Like a Lion and Made in Abyss both need to be in this list.
Absolutely agree
March Comes in Like a Lion is so fuckin good
Based picks. March Comes in like a Lion is my favorite anime and Made in Abyss is in my top 10 easily. I'm surprised neither are listed considering how highly they're rated on most sites like Myanimelist or Anilist and just how almost universally praised/loved they are.
I remember dropping it when it first came out due to the slow pacing at the beginning. Maybe it's time I give it another try.
@@Nate-ec8ig Do give it a try because it's really good
It's a crime that Made in Abyss is not on this list, you rarely get an anime as original as that with unique concept and world design.
I was expecting Made in Abyss to be #1 when I saw AoT at #3. Kinda dumb that it's not on the list. They also forgot Overlord.
Thank god someone else said something! It's not a crime. It's a WAR CRIME! Wtf
Based
Nope
Yeah man it was a shoker when I watched it . Most anime are forgettable but MIA is unquie
Jjk: best selling manga 2022
Joey: have you heard of any jjk manga fans? No.
Yeah, this HAS to be a troll.
Edit: jjk is the only series except the big three that youtubers can legit live off talking only about it
Also, W commenters for calling him out on this
JJK is poorly written garbage😂
@@AzuraVA very original argument dude
@@Apostle_47 garbage
@@neoparmar2169 cope
I know a lot of ytbers that also just live off CSM
Most surprising thing on this list. Is to hear that Joey is still watching anime.
He isn't lol
It seems that he doesnt finish them tho lol
No
hasn't this joke gotten old already?
@@SandeshShak yes it is. Joey already said that he still watches anime just not posting content about it. I hope they call out how stale these jokes are lol
Assassination Classroom LITERALLY made me want to become a teacher. While I did love the assassin-part, seeing how the students grew and their dynamic with Koro-sensei, that was THE SHIT!
One of the greatest things about that series was that it was constructed as a whole story with an endpoint in mind so it didn't meander around just because it could. That's one of the biggest differences between it and so many other shonen. The mangaka knew the story they wanted to tell.
GTO rip off done beautifully.. god that is within the decade :'P
@@tsfuko facts gto is in my top 5 easily
GTO made me want to become a teacher.
It's in my personal Top 10, but considering what it was up against, I'm just glad it managed to crack 20. AC reminded me why I loved my teachers more than my family: they saw me for me, not what they could get out of me. I hope your teaching career does the same for the kids who need that the most.
Assassination classroom just makes me feel nostalgic. It’s genuinely really good and made me actually cry (rare thing fr). All the characters, even background characters had some sort of depth
It managed to somehow develop every student of Class E while delivering a great ending. Not many series can pull that off.
25:51 this is how you know Joey doesn’t engage or is aware of the animanga community at all, JJK’s manga fan base is massive. I can agree that s1 doesn’t stray too far from a standard shonen but it still has fantastically written and likeable characters with great fight scenes (in both the anime and the manga). And everything that happens in the manga afterwards is absolutely beloved by fans almost to the same level as the CSM manga. Seriously think he’s just mixing up Demon Slayer and JJK here because while Demon Slayer has it’s manga fans… the best parts of the series come from the anime and that’s always what everyone is talking about.
Saying demon slayer and jjk being the same is actual insult to jjk
@@Apostle_47 100%, Joey coming in with the classic trash taste by comparing Demon Slayer and JJK Together
JJK is poorly written garbage
@@AzuraVA you’re on acid
@@AzuraVA Wow what an argument, you sure got him there...
I wouldn’t say that Jujutsu Kaisen is carried by animation
I have seen many people adore the manga source material almost to the same level as CSM
It’s just that the beginning(basically all of season 1) is very standard and safe
yeah shibuya is one of the best arcs in all of shonen imo
But thats why currently in the anime it is being carried by animation because it has not caught up to the source material. This ranking is based on anime so its not fair to take source material into account when some of the shows were original animes
And not even just the shibuya arc that made jjk, I feel like it was just the introduction into the new tone of jujutsu kaisen like reading chapter 212 and just all of the most recent chapters is crazy for how they’re progressing the story. Gege is really cooking for us
Joey definitely ain’t wrong tho because the vibe from the first season was a lot more standard like it took me until my 4th time watching it did I like it even
if you care too look for it , it does a have a lot of complexity, with character motivations and the more philosophical questions about the soul and such
The thing that I feel sets JJK apart from the other modern shonen is the action, particularly the choreography. So in a way it does rely on the animation. But that's like saying an action series is carried by the action. Like no shit.
Ik it’s been said to death but I fucking love the role reversal of this channel and the anime man channel 😂
I actually find JJK to have an extremely strong manga fan base. These people are on Reddit every day writing essays theory crafting about everything in the JJK manga. On top of that there are so many youtube channels that are cranking multi-hour long video essays explaining how the power system works and things of that nature. I didn't truly understand why so many fans where doing this until I caught up with the manga. The manga is amazing, and I highly recommend you catch up/start reading if you enjoyed the anime.
Facts
100%. Joey has no idea what he's talking about when he says that lol. It is always number 2 for monthly manga sales, only behind One Piece.
Yeah I think there isn't JJK manga fans in HIS circle bc that was straight up CAP. JJK manga is lit
We are talking about anime not manga here
@@utkarshsingh4048 listen to what Joey said during the JJK portion
As a manga reader of Jujutsu Kaisen I think that what’s to come will be great
agreed shibuya is amazing
Relative to newcomers to anime, or relative to people who've already seen and read a lot of shonen? Genuine question, since I can remember people saying similar things about MHA and other big shonen anime.
"Just wait for this arc, then it gets amazing!"
I read/watch what they recommend and am underwhelmed because it feels like many other shonen I've seen.
So maybe the better question is, is shibuya good relative to the shonen standard, or the book/manga/film/anime medium as a whole?
@@peacefulbystander847 I'd say with shounen for sure, at this point in the manga it doesn't even really feel like a shounen anymore. All that started with shibuya.
As for compared to anime/fiction as a whole. Not that groundbreaking imo, although the complexity of the plot and morality in the world gets pretty high tier with crazy twists. Defo top tier manga
@@Skaffabranca Alright, sounds reasonable. One issue I have when people give recommendations, at least with anime/manga, is that it feels inconsistent whether they're recommending it as a truly great piece of fiction or good relative to shonen or seinen or romance or etc.
It feels like they recommend it based off what appealed to them the most. And while that isn't bad, I feel when giving recommendations one should adopt a broader perspective since we don't all share the same priorities.
@@peacefulbystander847 Shibuya Incident is basically sort of a giant finale battle of the first half of JJK. What makes it good is that unlike most shounen's, the good guys get absolutely demolished and manage to achieve nothing. That's how it subverts classic shounen trope of Heroes winning in the big finale. Shibuya can be compared to Avengers Infinity War. Just helpless heroes watching as the bad guys cause massive destruction.
wans't jujutsu kaisen the best selling manga of 2021 and 2022? im pretty sure a lot of ppl are fans of the manga.
yep manga is amazing shibuya is peak
It's the first manga I've ever bought
Words cannot describe how happy I am to see Space Dandy and Odd Taxi mentioned in this list.
Kotaku definitely WATCH anime. Those two series are such underrated gems and are massive favorites of mine.
Though I think Odd Taxi does get a lot of love. We just have to keep it in people's recommended list as time passes. I was thrilled Space Dandy made the list.
Some guy at Kotaku does* majority don't.
I was shocked to see Summertime Render on there, especially so high. No complaints though. It was my favourite anime of 2022, so I think it definitely deserves the spot, I might even put it higher. It’s shame that Disney locked it away for so long, which killed most of the hype around it.
I watched that show almost till the end and i dropped in like 15 episode,it was to much repetitive for me although i love Re:Zero,it was one of these animes that i though i would like but i didn't,also that plot twists are too obvious for me..
I watched it with my ex so I can't even rewatch it LMAO
I was shocked to see it on the list because the anime is pure garbage that's why. Is there any redeeming good qualities about the anime at all? I don't really think there is honestly, even if you want to say the mystery element of it is good, it's really not there was nothing well thought out or deeply planned, nothing really written that well for a mystery honestly. Especially when you have anime like Monster and Death note that already set the bar high, it's got a lot it has to live up to and it fails. When it comes to mystery kinda gotta use that big brain and write it more complex, because the best part of mystery anime is solving the mystery and it should feel like an intelligent anime that actually makes you think and use your brain but at the same time not be predictable.
@@GrowingDownUnder the fuck? The anime is beautiful you are high bro
@@chillshortvideos1669 same lmao dropped it at episode 12 got too boring
I think the reason why you don't hear anything from JJK's manga readers is that fact that people are being safe trying not to spoil people. I love the manga and anytime I would like to discuss it with people i rather not because of how good and fun it becomes. To keep others spoiler free is probably the main reason why you do not hear people talk about it if anything. Animation carrying it sure I can see the argument for the first season but from someone who is reading the manga, the first season is mostly set up for what season 2 is going to tackle.
On the topic of spoilers, I planned on watching Cyberpunk: Edgerunners at some point, but I've kinda been put off by all the spoilers I've gotten for it, and I barely even use social media. People just don't know how to keep their trap shut, and it's annoying.
@@TocsTheWanderer yeah if you have been spoiled about cyberpunk it's going to heavily nerf the enjoyment you would have had if has watched it without any knowledge. Many of the scenes rely on shock value, you can still try it though
well this didnt age well lmao.
@@zezanje1 it didn’t
@@Bass897 insert a gif of a cube with gojo "nah i'd win" planel as one of its sides falling onto a hard surface and rotating onto a side which has him decapitated laying onto the floor:
I don't know about Joey, but JJK manga fans are very huge, they basically always trending on Twitter when the new chapter comes out
March comes in like a lion and Death Parade should've been there... I know that they were not as popular, but my man those were brilliant shows
And Land of the Lustrous as well.
@@Sukenus Yeah, I noticed it was missing, but I haven't watched it myself so I couldn't say. Death Parade is one of my personal favorites... wasn't sure when it came out.
And vivy
@@authorRisenfromash It came out in 2015, and Death Billiards came out in 2013
I remember starting Golden Kamuy after Joey talking about how underrated it was in the main channel. the way they mixed comedy into serious scene was so brilliant.
I started it recently, but oh man is the CGI absolute trash. Kinda hard to overlook that but i'm watching for the story so far
25:55 that's really cap 🧢 considering JJK ranks consistently TOP 10 in manga sales lol and ESPECIALLY since everybody knows the best JJK arcs are yet to come.
And I don't get the "it doesn't bring anything new to the table" argument either, like
what's wrong with having a great cast and amazing fight scenes/choreography? Does every new shonen have to reinvent the wheel or something
His manga comments were blatantly wrong, but anime comment wasn't. JJK S1 is very well done but its super safe and tbf to it, it is a very solid introduction to the series. But I absolutely hate how manga readers hyped it way too much both before and after the anime. It totally doesn't deserve to be in the list, since it is season fucking 1. Also didn't deserve to win anime of the year. Manga readers were super biased when it came to voting etc.
Woah a video about anime on the second channel, unheard of!
Saying Bocchi isn't good because these other music anime exist and are also good is such a strange argument. Did it deserve to be so high? Most likely not, but I think it's a hard stance to take only 7 eps in.
Still, love hearing your opinion. Keep up the good work, dude!
I don't think it's weird, I've watched Bocchi twice now and I don't think there's a reason to think someone's opinion will change drastically as you go on to finish it, there really isn't a huge "bang" waiting at the end that will suddenly boost it up really high, Bocchi is more or less a consistent stable experience quality wise throughout.
And If Joey thinks there's better music animes out there It should not be weird that he finds it weird that it's so high in a top 30 of ALL TIME list.
I mean 7 episodes are pretty good to judge the show imo. first 8 episodes are the better part, the last 4 episodes are the most forgettable part about bocchi.
Bocchi is a pretty episodic show, rather than promising a futuristic plot or payoff it tries to deliver in small arcs, so 7 episodes are enough
@@blinkin5 I understand, I said I love hearing his opinion regardless. Just thought it was odd to compare its quality with two other music anime that didn't actually qualify for the list (it was top of the decade, not all time). Beck and K-On are also great, but I don't think the fact that they exist invalidates the quality of Bocchi. 😅
@@blinkin5 isn't it a top list of the decade?
Pretty nice list overall. Maybe you should give us your top 30 of all time (or something like that) for a future video?
Shocked at no fruits basket. It was even the #1 anime on my anime list for a hot second
The jjk take was definitely one of the takes of all time
Jjk was one of the only manga to keep up with ds in terms of sales😭Can’t wait for s2 of Jujutsu Kaisen to blow this dude away.
Wouldnt put jjk nor demon slayer in a top 30 of the decade, i did enjoy them, but both are basic as fuck.
@@jmm00702 don’t expect complexity from shonen jump
@@jmm00702 how are they basic lol wth stop jumping on the bandwagon cause its famous
@@Kevin-fj3ff theres literally 0 complexity to them, theyre tailored for 14 year olds to enjoy, no nuance in storytelling, characters are one dimensional as fuck and barely change nor get faced with any actual hard decision path, etc i can go on if u want but yeah. theyre basic as fuck shonen stories, built for mass appeal and nothing much else.
@@jmm00702 read the jujutsu manga
"Who's talking about Yuri on Ice today" that's how you know Joey hasn't been in any anime communities in a WHILE lol
I honestly think this top 30 is pretty valid. Granted, some of the rankings are questionable but I’d say it’s relatively very good. A few anime I think from the past decade deserve to be on this list. To your eternity, Fruits basket 2019, Ping pong the animation, devil man crybaby, and Made in abyss. Those are each respectively all top 20 somewhere in my opinion.
not having made in abyss feels like a crime
@@newbie4789 i concur
You´re wrong about JJK there are a lot of JJK Manga Fans including me it´ is selling more Manga Volumes than One Piece
That’s what I was saying
I'd personally put Space Dandy in my top 10, that show hit me in all the right places. the animation goes sooooo hard, it was like mob psycho levels before mob psycho
Same here
Underrated anime. I havent watched it in almost 10 years, but I remember how amazing it was.
How time flys...wow that came out ten years ago. I remembered seeing the commercials. Told my buddy he would probably really like this anime as well. Feels like only a few years ago. Not thaaat long ago. Fml. Good times rolled away to fast.
@@Earth2McKay ayo, shoutout to your bluntman and chronic profile pic lmao
Would you recommend Space Dandy sub or dub? I usually watch sub but people seem to recommend the dub more
Seeing summertime rendering on here made me so glad. Such a great show through and through and even managed to wrap up nicely in one season.
it made me pissed off because the anime is trash, the anime didn't do anything good. Plus it was just a lame copy of re:zero, tokyo revengers, steins gate, higurashi, madoka magica, etc...that whole time travel thing done a million times already. Shizz even Link Click was a better time travel anime...
@@GrowingDownUnder you are smoking penises if you think that something disgusting like re zero was done better than summertime rendering. summertime rendering was interesting at best, like the show was decent but that was about it, but re zero is just one if not the most overrated shows ever. also tokyo revengers is horrible as well
Golden Kamuy got me into studying Ainu history and culture. Such a fantastic series.
Same Golden Kamuy is so awesome
Golden Kamuy is literally my favorite... no other anime does quite what Golden Kamuy does.❤
I hated volleyball before I watched haikyuu. Dunno why I decided to even check it out bc I was certain that I will drop it after episode 1 of S1. Well, that certain episode made me bawl my eyes out and I binge watched the whole season in two days. Now Haikyuu is still one of my fav series and I do not hate volleyball anymore like I used to (thanks to school P.E classes I hated the sport in the first place). So it's accurate that haikyuu changed at least my mind about a sport.
Not that bad of a list, but in my opinion they really missed some of the best anime which came out in the last 10 years.
My own top 30 would probably look something like this -
30. Summer Time Rendering
29. Ranking of Kings
28. Barakamon
27. Bocchi the Rock!
26. One Punch Man
25. Houseki no Kuni
24. Your Lie in April
23. Hinamatsuri
22. Demon Slayer
21. KonoSuba
20. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
19. Beastars
18. Golden Kamuy
17. F/SN UBW
16. March comes in like a Lion
15. Chainsaw Man
14. Dorohedoro
13. Violet Evergarden
12. Jobless Reincarnation
11. Odd Taxi
10. Parasyte the Maxim
9. Vivy
8. Kaguya-sama
7. Saiki
6. Kill La Kill
5. Mob Psycho 100
4. Re:Zero
3. Vinland Saga
2. Made in Abyss
1. Attack on Titan
Wow, no JoJo's but I like the list still
Huge W for Parasyte and Vivy!!! would definitely add erased in here myself but i understand peoples criticisms of the end
@@SamTheGumMan117 If i added JoJo it would probably be somewhere around 7 or 6. But since technically the anime came out before this decade (before 2013) I excluded it from my list.
The same goes for Gintama. Sure there were a lot of seasons which released in the last 10 years, but I still can't but it in my list.
@togachan5081 Ok, I get that and I'd put it around there, too if not top 5
good list but 30 isn't enough to fit in all the amazing shows in the past decade T_T
Thanks for the video commentary. You made very fair comments on most animes that I completely agree. Have you watched Link click (Shiguang Dailiren) ?
Bro, its about time you make top anime list and let someone review it! Love the videos by the way, thanks for anime related video YOOOHOOO
Dont do us like that the JJK manga fans are just chilling living our best lives knowing that next season gonna go crazy. Also ranking of kings deserves its stop if not higher and Space dandy should of been higher
I like the Jujutsu Kaisen manga
Joey's takes on JJK are just getting worse and worse. Mid? Sure, whatever, an opinion is an opinion.
But borderline slandering what Gege Akutami has been achieving with the manga ESPECIALLY in the last few chapters has been fucking excellent. His art is brilliant, the story is ramping up, the characters are being pushed to their breaking points, and Gojo hasn't even been in the series for the last hundred or so chapters. That's not even mentioning the Shibuya Incident or the Culling Games which are both absolutely fantastic battle royale arcs that go fucking wild, and that's in just the manga. Saying JJK is "heavily dependent" on the anime is just insulting to Akutami.
Like, I'm not mad he has a different opinion, Joey gets a rise out of telling people JJK is mid because it's funny, but the shit he's said here is just rude and disrespectful to Akutami and the manga fans that really adore the series.
Really. Someone had to say this. Gege Akutami is already someone I've come to respect so much ever since I read shibuya, this borderline slander is painful to watch
Bro just say he not a fan of JJK. You can clearly see it 🤣🤣.
Not that shocking. Each member of trash taste has one or more manga/anime that they irrationally hate for no reason
@@timisunder1404 There's a difference between not liking something and just outright insulting the person making it.
@@MiniatureRanni that's why I put irrationally hate.
Love the video and keep up the great work joey
Man I would've loved to see Girls Last Tour anime there, it's such a fantastic post-apocalyptic slice of life drama anime.
Shuumatsu Touring has been similarly enjoyable, though less feels so far. Another series I really enjoyed that felt similar but isn't really an apocalypse was Kino's Journey, would recommend.
No way he just said JJK has no manga readers... This guy is really on something
Woah glad Joey mentioned Uchouten Kazoku, almost forgot that show existed. And I loved the first run of Hataraku Maou-sama.
20:47 never seen Beck, but as someone who has seen and likes both K-On and Bocchi the rock, I'd choose BtR over K-On, musically speaking. K-On has bangers, but its music is a bit too poppy and bubbly for my taste. I think the music in BtR feels more "grounded" because it's more leaned toward alternative rock (despite I don't really listen to that genre a lot, but I can enjoy it sometimes). Another thing I like about BtR is the animation, it's very creative when it comes to portraying Bocchi's personality and situation. There are times when the animation "downgraded" into making Bocchi looking like a couple of squares, and there are times where they over-animate her. And there are also times where they use 3D CGI and stop-motion. It's refreshing to see CloverWorks uses various styles of animation in BtR.
Summer Time Rendering is so fucking good. I think Garnt said it was what he wanted from Erased, a mystery action show that delivered with its ending
I absolutely love Bocchi the Rock. I rewatched it several times with my friends and I never get tired of watching it.
This is only my opinion, but I will remember this as years go by. They did an amazing job with the adaptation, how they portray social anxiety, amazing characters, voice actors, and the music is fantastic. And how it meant to me personally.
Hate that people keep comparing this to K-on . Imo it's nothing like it, I have tried watching K-on and couldn't stand it (didn't like the characters and art style). I went into Bocchi thinking I was going to drop it but ended up loving it
It's like k-on mixed with modern social anxiety that makes people relate but not for me didn't like both
@@ACViper It's like how people can't acknowledge the existence of Kakegurui without saying "Kaiji better lmao"
Anime fans actually judge a show on its own merits challenge (Impossible)
Yep. I despise "school" based animes, especially the high school girl anime genera. (Like for example, Beastars annoyed me because it was too school focused, and I was way more invested in the world outside of the school. I'm clearly a furry, but even the furry bait wasn't enough for me when they were focusing so much on dumb high school drama when it just felt pointless and wasted the world around it).
I thought I was gonna not really like Bocci too but... This one was different.
I suffer from severe social anxiety, and the way they handled it was incredible!! Not only in the execution but also in a way that gives people like me hope. I gave up a lot of my passions because of my social anxiety, and struggled in a lot of similar ways to Bocci. I couldn't help but cheer her on and watch her overcome her anxiety as the series progressed! I also love her friends too, learning to understand her and not treating her any different because of her anxiety (with the exception of giving her a bit of a push here and there). A show like this would have really helped me as a kid and I even find it helping me now even though I'm a grown adult.
Is the show absolutely perfect? Well... no. But I do think that this show has helped not only people who struggle with anxiety, but helps other people understand it more too who might have people in their life who struggle with it!
The thing with Bocchi that Joey didn’t mention for the series is the absolutely lightning in a bottle production, which I’d say is genuinely the best we’ve had from a TV series in the industry since Mob Psycho. Director, animators, seiyuus all being given their first chance in an anime and it all worked so well. FFS Bocchi’s VA did that iconic scream without editing, and only recently started playing the electric guitar
>JJK has no manga fans
>highest selling manga for the past 2 years
????
Mob Psycho being number 1 warms my heart, it's such a beautifully crafted piece of art. I love it dearly. Shocked not to see Made In Abbys and Dororo!
Summertime Rendering is so good, deserves more recognition !!
I would disagree with jujutsu kaisen, I adore the manga and its such a captivating story. seeing a main character that feels very human in his emotions/reactions but ye great video!
It has a massive manga following, joey really has no idea what he was talking about there.

Haikyuu imo is the sport anime for this generation. If Captain Tsubasa inspires people to do soccer (Fernando Torres said that he waa inspired to dp soccer cuz he wached Capt Tsubasa when he was younger), Slam Dunk inspires people to do basketball (I've heard smth abt Slam Dunk actually made the sport popular in Japan), then Haikyuu is the one which inspires this generation to do volleyball. And this is coming from me who haven't even watch the anime nor read the manga.
I know Eyeshield 21 made people in Japan interested in American football
Like you said, this list isn't bad at all. I would've liked to see Made in Abyss on the list though
Thoughts on JJK: Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the highest selling manga in Japan and overseas. Saying "no one" reads it and that the animation makes it great shows that you do just see it as another shonen. As someone who doesn't enjoy traditional battle shonen it is the only traditional series like that I have ever gotten into and really enjoyed. I read it and watch it and it's strength is the depth of it's characters and how they offer different perspectives on the world. Things I Think Belong On The List That Aren't: Made in Abyss, Girl's Last Tour, Yuru Camp, Sonny Boy, and FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I'm sure there are more but those are the ones that stood out to me as things that were deserving and lacking. The list is more deverse than I expected but still leaned too heavily toward action and adventure with little to no slice-of-life or romance.
I don’t understand how someone who doesn’t enjoy shonen can enjoy JJK.
FMAB started airing on 2009, and the manga is from 01. The list is presumably about works from 2013-2023
@@thomasffrench3639 I do like shonen but I don’t tend to like ones focused mostly on battle unless they are something like Bakuman where the “battle” isn’t a physical brawl. I just love the characters in JJK a lot.
@@sefatsilverlake3816 awww, ok my husband thought it was older but I thought it was within the last ten years… I only watched it recently didn’t realize I was that behind. Lol
@@authorRisenfromash Yeah, if not I'd totally put it top 5, probably #1 or #2
Considering a good music based anime floats up about every 3-5 years I’m pretty sure that as long as it rides the wave with another season or 2 Bocchi will last and be remembered.
30:17 Caught up on Vinland Saga right now and tbh, I think it is better than the first season. It took everything that the first season explored and is going in much more depth with those topics in a way that focuses purely on character. Stripped of any action, the series really puts us in the place of Thorfinn and how war and violence has affected him in a way that makes him one of my favorite characters in recent memory. Part of me wants them to stay on the farm forever, but i know that in this world, that's not gonna happen.
I very much agree with this... I think the series perfectly frames itself through the initial lesson that Thors wished he could teach to Thorfinn, which he couldn't pass on before he died. it's why a lot of shots are devoted to cutting back to Thors... he's always relevant.
in his grief, Thorfinn turns to anger as a motivating force, but that anger is less about his love for Thors, and more about his hatred of Askeladd. violence isn't proof of love... it's something that frustrated people do to punish the world. this is how it becomes cyclical, and this is why it's hypocritical. if Thorfinn causes pain equal to what he's felt, then he is also forfeiting his right to peace. he can't ask to live well if he's still committed to sowing discontent with his own hands. the cycle of violence has to stop somewhere, and sometimes, you have to choose to stop it yourself. and that takes a lot more effort than letting yourself fall off the deep end into the endless search for retribution, which will never bring back the thing you're actually missing. the truth is, if you want to see something you love thrive in this world, you have to know how to create peace, and maintain it. additionally, if Thorfinn wants to prove that he cares about Thors, he would do so a lot more effectively by considering the man's perspective. it would be more meaningful to keep his legacy alive by embracing the philosophy that he thought was important. and that's what season 2 is all about.
it is a bit of a wild concept talking about what anime will leave its mark and be still discussed in the future (as mentioned about bocchi). i personally didnt like Yuri on Ice, and there may be no new merch available but I still see people asking for the goddamn movie. Every year tho I see new merch for Sheryl amd Ranka from Macross frontier, 2008(?) anime, but i dont know many people who would put frontier into their top 20. Fans only will get their nendoroid of kaori from Kimi Uso this year but always there is someone to mention how great the anime is and how it should be there on the list. it seems like there is this distinction between great anime as it is and anime that got great commercially, and and bocchi is like ousama ranking in a way - the show that everyone is talking about but its popularity cannot be compared to likes jjk or bnha.

"Have you heard of any Jujutsu Kaisen manga fans"
You know Joey is out of the loop from anime and manga when he said sht like this.
People literally won't shut up about Shibuya arc.
I'd 100% put Made in Abyss, Grand Blue and Bunny Girl Senpai on this list
Absolutely MIA and Bunny Girl Senpai
@@SamTheGumMan117 yep
It's criminal that they somehow forgot about Made in Abyss
@@togachan5081 facts bruh
i just know soytaku didn't put it in there because of akihito being a lolicon
Re:ZEro is Isekai Anime done right, in my opinion. Just as Joey said, Subaru isn't OP, he's in fact a normal human, he's got to rely on others to protect him if he's in a fight as he can only do so much himself, which sometimes turns out to be just the right amount. He doesn't get isekaied into a new world only to instantly become 10 times stronger than even the strongest person alive in that world, or any such dumb shit like that, he's basically an example of what it would look like if any average joe had been plucked out from their world and placed in another world with no idea what is going on, nothing to their name, and no power to hide behind if things get tough. And all that's why I liked it so much even though I wasn't ever a big fan of the trope of do-overs and such.
I have to ask, Joey. What is your opinion on BNA? I know you really like Beastars, so I am curious on your thoughts towards the Trigger anime that has anthropomorphic animals. Don't know if that makes sense what I said, but you know what I am getting at.
The list was pretty solid 👏 I dont know what I'd rank them but personally I'd add showa genroku rakugo shinju, made in abyss, and great pretender. Showa and pretender weren't as big but still really good
Ranking of Kings is easily in the Top 10, or even Top 5, for me. Genuinely an amazing show that I always recommend to people, and it made me want more from that world after the show ended, and I hope it gets a second season, just to build upon the characters and world.
it is getting a 10 episode season next week :D
Pretty solid list. Would have personally included Made in Abyss, Ping pong the animation, Land Of The Lustrous, Death Parade, To your eternity, Devil Man Crybaby, Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju and March comes in like a lion.
Based
when did devilman crybaby come out??
also i ll put vivy in as well

Joey talking about anime again u love to see it
I absolutely loved Summer Time Rendering, one of my favorites of the year
It introduced a gripping story and never let go, it kept you invested through the whole thing with great story, animation, and one of the best written main characters in a while in my opinion, and the ending was very very satisfying
Definitely deserves a spot in the top 30
Every episode French kiss👌
I do mostly agree but for me the ending was not that satisfying. It had some pretty obvious logical errors (to me at least, makes me think that it maybe got changed at some point) that may or not may have an in lore explanation that I don't know of. But it stretched my immersion pretty thin. Buuut I still think it deserves a spot especially the first half was basically a perfect show for me.
Probably i wont be pretty popular but on defend of Demon Slayer and i admit i havent seen a lot of shonens, even though i really like the genre, but for me is the emotions that can awake in me. I went to the cinema to watch the new episode and i forgot they will screen the last two episode of Entertainment District arc. The way i bowled out my eyes on how Gyutaru and Ume went to the afterlife... And i even cried as i read the manga. Yeah its not that action packed but it makes you love and root for the characters.
I 100% agree.
this exactly!!!!
I didn't expect Summertime Render but I really loved it, well deserved for me
Joey how about a tier list video about manga artists/authors
Awesome video Joey of kotaku anime list,fantastic job.
"Are there any jujutsu kaisen manga fans? No."
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Vivy: FLuorite Eyes Song not being on this list is a crime. Vivy is fantastic and easily deserves to be in the top 30 of the last decade
Very true. I think it's because it was forgotten by some. But those who love it won't forget it.
What a W
TRUE I cried and stared in awe at it the same amount as Violet Evergarden.
😅had to respectfully disagree...Characters are way too tropey
Joey really out here living in a world where he hasn't heard about Jujutsu Kaisen manga fans. Didn't think it was possible. Read it for the love of god.
25:50, idk where you're looking Joey but JJK manga fans are everywhere on my feed on Twitter. I'm not even a JJK fan, I really don't care for it. But somehow, the manga and it's community constantly pops up on my feed. Anyway, overall, decent list. I can't argue with many of the choices. I don't care about placements tbh. But top 30 just ain't enough to list all the amazing shows out there. March Comes in Like a Lion, Made in Abyss, Fate Stay/Night UBW and Heaven's Feel, Kobayashi, Vivy Flourite Eye's Song, Bunny Girl Senpai, Slime Isekai (as much as I don't like it), etc... I would say even a top 50 wouldn't cover even a fraction of the shows that deserve recognition from the past decade. The only way I think they could do it is to split it into genres and do a top 30 for each genre which would take forever.
I think about this every time I see a top anime list, I think its genuinley impossible to make a tier list on best anime of all time or the last decade because its so subjective. Its so based on your personal taste, what was popular, recency bias, etc.
agreed
That's the point.
And yet I do think this feels like Kotaku’s list was made by mostly people who watch a ton of anime. In contrast, IGN’s recent top 25 anime (of all time, which is a bolder claim than merely ranking the last 10 years) felt like it was mostly made by people watching the most mainstream stuff with maybe one or two people trying to get some excellent non-mainstream stuff in there (nothing wrong with mainstream, but it does make lists predictable when the pattern becomes obvious). Even their solo shojo pick felt like a mainstream pick, Ouran was great, but it felt like it was there purely for being so well known in the 2000s, whereas other shojo like Nana or the new Fruits Basket would arguably be considered better.
I'm going to shout out Dorohedoro as well, that was one of my favorite anime of all time
Cyberpunk Edgerunners is what got me back into anime after a year or two break loved it more than I expected to happy to see it ranked so high
AOT at #3
My day is ruined.....
Wait Kaguya Sama at #2
My day is blessed!!!!
I personally think Bocchi will last in terms of relevancy. I understand that the fandom is pretty insane, but I also think Bocchi is truly a masterpiece. I think Bocchi might have already become a modern classic. I don't think it's the best of the decade or anything, but I would have absolutely put it on this list.
Surprising enough a lot of people still undersell the adaptation aspect of it, people act like Bocchi is popular because "relatable fr fr" when a lot of credit goes for the amazing Director and Animators showing such creativity in that show, while putting in a top 30 of decade might be hard to argue, it's easily one of the few adaptations that is better than the manga in every single aspect and there's shows that I gave 9 or a 10 that I don't think that was something above the source material.
I respectfully disagree with this. I can't see how it is a masterpiece or a modern classic yet, as there were nothing in it that made it stand out in a significant way, or at least I haven't yet had anyone describe why it is supposed to garner that amount of praise. To me they overplayed Bocchi's social anxiety from it being cute and funny into it being dull and transparent.
Is it the character arc and the coming-of-age narrative bits that is the most significant part that people are appreciating about this anime, or am I missing something here? It's a good anime for sure, but nothing above what we have seen so far in my oppinion.
@@ZahhibbDev "there were nothing in it that made it stand out in a significant way" I don't know what you on about but Bocchi's creative and insane animation and direction alone makes it stand out if you ask me. Like it had claymation, bocchi's game of life sequence, 3d rendered bocchi and literal recording of real life world and all the over the top art styles just for a specific gags, they even went 4:3 aspect ratio for referencing old animes. And obviously the music. They released an album with literally 14 songs and they are all bangers. The characters are also great and have great chemistry with each other and play a huge role to how good this series is. And also the voice acting, Two of the main characters being relatively new absolutely killed it and made it amazing. There's also actual growth and development to bocchi as a character as well with her social anxiety. If all of this doesn't make it a modern masterpiece then I don't know what will.
@@ZahhibbDev It had cool and creative animation with a good director. It also truly elevated the source material in almost every way, which I've never seen before.
Bocchi the Rock is also in competition with the BanG Dream franchise now, and oh yeah Bang dream with the exception season 1 of the anime is a true masterpiece series.
You're Lie in April and Parasyte: The Maxim would be a great additions as well!
I know this isn’t related but does anyone know where he got the pendant chain I’m been searching everywheree?
What anime you would recommend for comedy, recommend like 3 so the chance of it being something I've seen is lower.
For example I liked all Konosuba and the movie of it and the Megumin spin-off, also really digged Grand Blue. Gintama is pretty okay from what I've seen but I haven't watched it all, dropped it after few episodes, might start watching it again to see if I dropped it for a reason.
From non-comedy animes I loved monogatari even though it's somewhat "comedic", My Hero Academia was awesome in my opinion also
Could anyone recommend few animes, like from comedy category (like some of the animes from past 3-4 years, since I stopped watching anime at one point due to not being able to watch any shows at my rock bottom phase of life.
Anime cheers me up a lot and I have the chance to watch some again, so if anyone could give me recommendations?
From different categories like comedy and so on, not too eager to see romcoms right now although
tbh, Golden Kamuy is the biggest W just to see it included on this list. literally nobody on youtube talks about this anime, and I feel like there's SO MUCH that could be said in terms of analysis... it's honestly criminally under-mentioned. like, I'm not even calling it "underrated" because everyone who has actually watched it seems to love it, in my experience. it's just that it never really took off and got that hype train momentum.
seriously tho, ask me about Golden Kamuy, I can talk about it extensively.
You and Joey's take on Golden Kamuy have made me decide to watch it :)
@@solittle272 oh, you are about to have such a fun time! I hope you like it, it's very very weird, but all together, I think it does everything right. ^_^
Ranking of Kings share the same problem with Erased. The first half was phenomenal and really gets you invested in the story. But then in the second half it starts to drag itself through the mud and it starts to feel like a "cartoon" as they remove all the risks and everyone just became friends in the end.
Pleasently surprised to see Summertime Render. Easily one of my favorite shows from last year, that i still think about.
A lot of anime before 2022 got the snub (granted 2022 was a bumper crop for good anime). Would personally love to see Barakamon, Plastic Memories, Shirobako, Tsuki ga Kirei, Made in Abyss, Yuru Camp and A Place Further than the Universe in this list, all of which began airing between 2013 and 2020.
I feel like if you're going to make a list of the best anime of an entire decade, you need more than 30 entries, probably at least 50.
He just called demon slayer a fantasy. I am getting ptsd from the anime awards. Oh my god save me
Garnt would be rolling right now if he watched this video 😂
Demons are grounded in reality, I agree.
@@thomasffrench3639 glad we're on the same page
I already watched gigguk reacting to the list and yeah, rare Kotaku W
Yeah jojo phantom blood and battle tendency came out in 2012 which is about over 10 years now so unfortunately it doesn’t count, but i think it shouldve still been on the list because the bulk of the anime was within 10 years ago
I would argue that some of these should have made the list. Made in Abyss, A Place Further Than the Universe, March Comes in Like a Lion, Your Lie in April, and my sleeper pick Keep Your Hands off Eizouken!
I'd add Non Non Biyori, definitely my favourite multi-season anime of the past decade but I like comfy slice-of-life comedies. (I wish WataMote, Flying Witch, and Gabriel DropOut had gotten second seasons.)
So I don't get the active "no way" for bocchi, with the argument being "we don't know it's staying power", when we don't make the same argument for Summer Time Rendering or Chainsaw man? Idk, I am fine with you not liking it that much, or it not being not even close to top 30 for you, but I don't get why it being high for anyone else is such a scandalizing argument?
I mean the CSM manga has staying power, but we don’t know if the anime will yet.
I started reading Promised Neverland when it was about halfway done with around 100 chapters. It was so incredibly good that it was the first manga I was extremely thrilled about every week on how it will continue. The thing about the anime was that it cut out so many important arcs that had so much character development for all of them. When you enjoyed Season one, I really recommend to read the Manga and maybe even re-read from the start.
U mentioned eccentric family wow. I dont find many ppl talking abt it. I watched it recently and understood why it's not for everyone. It's a bit slow paced but awesome . The concept and simple catchy storyline
This is a pretty good list. My only complaint would be there are probably more entries on here for anime that came out in the past 2 or 3 years than before and that probably neglected some obvious shows like Devilman Crybaby or even other Masaaki Yuasa works (Tatami Galaxy, Ping Pong,) , Made in Abyss, March Comes in Like a Lion, perhaps the underrated Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, A Place Further Than The Universe, Banana Fish (everyone ignores this anime for some reason), Parasyte the Maxim, Shirobako, Dororo, Death Parade, and that's just a handful of ones I came up with.
Wait how can you say that there are no JJK manga fans and that the hype is because of the animation? Bro people won't shut up about the Shibuya arc of the manga! How have you missed all that noise? People have been saying for the longest time that it's one of the best shonen arcs ever made and that the story gets WILD wild in the manga, that season 1 of the anime was just the tip of the iceberg, kinda like CSM. Apparently it gets really really good.
i feel like joeys takes are always super oldschool, i cant tell if its him looking back when the shows where good or not. but ive gone out of my way to watch a lot of older shows hes talked about and they just dont live up to what he says. sure they are good but i think a lot of his opinion is "i liked it when i was young so it has to still be the best" and its also weird for him to comment on animation in newer shows then turn right around and say some older shows are better when comparably the older shows are gonna have worse animation just do to the constraints at the time. to me its similar to what jacksepticeye said "you dont actually think my older content was better, you just have better memory's of where you were when you watched my content back then"
