Wooderon’s Favourite Anime of 2021: #10: Megalo Box 2: Nomad

I think 2021 has been a bit of an odd year for me in terms of the media I consume. I don’t know if it’s my personal perspective or it just being a bit of a lame year, but both in terms of the video games I played and the anime I watched, it kind of feels like it was all just a bit meh.

Wooderon Anime of the Year 2018: #4

My Christmas holiday is almost over already. Oh, the never ending grind of retail. One thing that never took a break through was my unenviable task of making over 20 posts in 13 days.

Today’s entry shows that sometimes, you don’t have to hang your show on a huge concept or gimmicky spectacle. Sometimes, if you just need to nail the basics and tell a simple story to an incredibly high standard. It’s really all you need to do to make a great show.

I’ll keep you in anticipation for a moment longer though as I give my current list leading up until today:

#10: Goblin Slayer

#9: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind

#8: The Ancient Magus’ Bride

#7: Golden Kamuy

#6: Attack on Titan

#5: Hinamatusri
