Comment on [Discussion] 10 Perfect Anime Series You Should Watch in 2026

There are some crazy choices here. I’m not sure I’d call any of the anime listed here perfect, but Death Note? Really? A show which people generally agree falls off after the first half?
TBH I suspect Frieren is going to have that same issue unfortunately. Reading the manga has given me a strong impression that the author has no idea what they’re writing and is just coming up with it as they go. I don’t expect Season 3 to be as well-received as 1 & 2 were.
Nippon Sangoku had incredible art, and incredibly one-dimensional characters. Maybe this author found its political storyline fascinating; I’d say if you want that you’d be better-off watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
Even most One Piece fans will admit the anime has horrible pacing at times.
I could probably go on, but I’ll refrain.

Hard agree on One Piece and Death Note
I’d swap one of them out for Fullmetal Brotherhood, as annoying as the fans of that show are, it really is a legendary anime that has a clear beginning, middle, and end while not overstaying its welcome.
Frieren has definitely gone a little off course, and now with how long the series has been on hiatus, I’m honestly a little worried about it ever getting a conclusion.
And also, as a massive fan of the show, Eighty Six should be on this list. If only they’d give it a second season.
