has officially unveiled their top 12 picks for single-season anime that are fully worth binging.
Crunchyroll recently released a list of the best anime seasons that had less than 13 episodes, and some of their choices might surprise you. While popular shows like Puella Magi Madoka Magica were expected, titles such as Sarazanmai and Odd Taxi might be a bit unexpected. You can find the complete list below.
The Top 12 Single-Season Anime, According to Crunchyroll
- Odd Taxi
- Puella Magi Madoka Magica
- A Place Further Than the Universe
- Paranoia Agent
- Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
- Deca-Dence
- Erased
- Ping Pong The Animation
- Sarazanmai
- Usagi Drop
- Terror in Resonance
- Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day
Both Paranoia Agent and Puella Magi Madoka Magica are well-known and famously thought-provoking anime. If you enjoy the unique storytelling and visuals of those shows, you’ll probably also love Erased, with its time-traveling plot, and Odd Taxi, which is known for its fast-paced action and intense violence.
I’ve been watching a lot of anime lately, and if you’re looking for something exciting that’s a bit more grounded, I’d recommend checking out Deca-Dence and Terror in Resonance. Both shows explore dark, future worlds – Deca-Dence takes place in a polluted world controlled by powerful companies, while Terror in Resonance focuses on the chilling possibility of a nuclear attack on Tokyo.
If you enjoy stories focused on well-developed characters, consider Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day. It centers on a group of friends reunited by a sad event from their past. While the series includes supernatural elements, its true strength lies in the relationships between the main characters and how they cope with loss and reconnect with each other.
Like A Place Further Than the Universe, this anime shares a heartwarming tone and focuses on a group navigating challenges together as they grow. This story centers on a man in his thirties who unexpectedly becomes the guardian of his young niece after his grandfather passes away.
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! is a truly charming series. It follows three high school friends who love anime so much they start their own animation club. As they pursue their passion, the show also cleverly explains the fundamentals of traditional, hand-drawn animation to the audience.
The last two items on the list are both fun and entertaining, but they’re quite different. Ping Pong The Animation is a lively sports anime that quickly grabs viewers with its constantly changing art style, and it cleverly leads people to underestimate its depth.
