Best of Anime 2024
With 2024 officially over (and me running incredibly late – life sucks at times!), now comes the moment that many of you have been waiting for. It’s time for Random Curiosity’s annual foray into annoying everyone with our questionable opinions, the Best of Anime 2024 post! Unlike previous years this was a solo effort so apologies in advance if some (read: much) bias winds up showing through. I didn’t quite manage to catch everything, but made sure to watch entries that made a serious clamour within the anime community. Please feel free to be brutally honest while giving constructive feedback. And if something was picked you disagree with don’t hesitate to voice your opinion – best of posts are always subjective!

「生と死の間で…」 (Sei to Shi no Hazama de…)
“Between Life and Death”
This is one of the great character apotheosis moments in manga, elegant and poetic and totally true to the story.
