I only watched three new shows this year but loved all of them. Got a lot more to catch up on (especially Spy x Family S3 and Apothecary Diaries S2).

• CITY: The Animation - The only thing I like more than Keiichi Arawi's artwork is the production values putting it into motion. TBH though, I thought the writing was decent but mostly just carried by the artwork. And I'm fine with that, the animation carried hard.
• Takopi's Original Sin - Binged it and had to go lie down. What really made this show so compelling was having it be told through the eyes of an alien that doesn't realize what's wrong, leaving the viewer to scream "Takopi no, stop, you're not helping, Takopi please stop!" Is it bad though that I kinda wanted the ending to twist the knife a little more?
• Apocalypse Hotel - I want to say that it's hard to choose a favorite this year because both CITY and Takopi were fantastic, but on further reflection it absolutely has to go to Apocalypse Hotel. What an incredible ride this was from start to finish. If you somehow have missed this one, I urge you to look nothing up and go in blind.
