| Drama▲▼ | Rating▲▼ | Comment▲▼ |
| Aura: Koga Maryuin's Last War (movie) | Excellent | Unconventional but really good story. Animation quality was midrange for movies, but I really enjoyed it. Music was really good. Good characters and character development. |
| Children of the Whales (TV) | Excellent | Great story with lots of moving drama. Very creative world. An excellent title. Focuses on personal emotions, emotional dramatic action. Also explores social dynamics. |
| HYOUKA (TV) | Very good | Very high quality animation, really beautiful series. Very realistic characters, setting, and story and yet it was really captivating. It's technical a hero story in which the hero trait is being able to solve mysteries, but it didn't feel like much of one. Very good quality story and anime all around. I was disappointed that the romance didn't get far. A sequel would have been nice. |
| Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! (TV) | Excellent | Fun anime with really cute characters. Good drama and romance, good comedy. |
| Made in Abyss (TV) | Excellent | Wonderfully creative, absolutely beautiful art, gripping story with unexpectedly intense drama. Very cute character designs. All-around excellent series. |
| Scrapped Princess (TV) | Very good | Very good story, compelling and interesting plot. Good characters. Good drama. |
| Violet Evergarden (TV) | Excellent | Both a creative and emotional story that focuses on one unique girl's life experience and personal growth. Is episodic in that each episode tends to tell a different story, but serial in terms of character growth. Lots of heavy emotional drama. Absolutely stunning animation and music. Definitely a must-see. Possibly best of its season. |
