While ‘ Babylon‘ recycles this trait, what makes it one of the best anime shows of the year is the intricacy of its plot, which unfolds itself in several layers.

The key theme of several psychological anime shows like ‘ Death Note‘ and ‘ Psycho Pass‘ is the dichotomy between good and evil. But at the end of the day, she always comes home to two bears, Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma, and a bird named Kiiroitori, who give her a whole new perspective towards life. It follows the adventures-or I’d rather say misadventures-of a young working woman named Koaru, who seeks to find her place in the world as she struggles with the muddles of growing up. While its endearing themes and characters are enough to lure a younger audience, ‘ Rilakkumma and Koaru‘ picks up on a lot of underlying adult conflicts that will be relatable for most grown-ups. Pretty much like Sanrio, which created ‘Aggretsuko’ out of its incredibly popular “Hello Kitty” franchise, even San-X decided to tread a similar path by creating a show that not appeals to the kids of the present generation, but also to the ones who initially used their products. Back in 2003, San-x company had released its very own line of merchandise, known as “Rilakkuma and his friends,” which became quite popular because of cutesy appeal. However, despite its immense popularity in the recent years, anime has matured into a “double-edged sword.” There are shows that very well go above and beyond what we can imagine, but contrarily, the world anime is also full of shows that are an utter waste of anyone’s time.Īs a regular anime viewer, coming across an objectively horrible anime is almost inevitable, but educating yourself on what’s truly watchable can never really hurt, right? So, on that premise, we have made a list of best anime shows of 2019 that you should not be missing out on (please keep in mind that we have only considered anime that made its debut in 2019).įor the uninitiated, anime is only targeted towards a younger audience, but only the ones who are familiar with shows like ‘ Aggretsuko‘ will know that this stereotype is completely flawed.
