Best Anime Of 2024: This year definitely saw the arrival of some of the best shows ever, and it will genuinely be a challenging task to select a few to label the best of 2024.

So, without further ado, let us dive into our list of top 10 best anime of 2024.
Top 10 Best Anime Of 2024 You Can’t Miss
Dandadan
Dandadan is definitely the entry that will be remembered as the most iconic, game-changing and craziest anime of 2024. This series reimagined the shounen genre, breaking free from traditional patterns while staying true to its core essence.
The series follows the adventures of Momo and Okarun, two individuals believing in ghosts and aliens, respectively. They are nothing alike, but a bad decision thrusts them into a bizarre string of situations, altering their lives for better or worse.
Bleach TYBW Part 3
Bleach returned better than ever and proved how goated it is for its jaw-dropping animation and intense battles. The third cour is again a feast for the eyes as Studio Pierrot went above and beyond to deliver an entertaining visual experience.
This season, we also saw the return of key characters like Aizen, Grimmjow, Nelliel, etc, adding to the hype.

Re:ZERO Season 3
This show is a great example of a time loop done right. Subaru is back with more adventures, and this time, as well, we will see him be the saviour everyone deserves.

If you are an Isekai fan, watch KonoSuba. This series will make you roll on the floor laughing with its unhinged characters and whacky situations. Every Isekai trope not only just gets destroyed by this show but gets represented in a wildly funny way.
Kazuma and his quirky squad are back this season, diving headfirst into more outrageous and hilarious situations.

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth
In this show, history meets philosophy to present one of the best thought-provoking fantasy adventure tales. We follow Rafal on his journey to prove one of the most essential fundamental truths in a time when proclamations like these would have made you a heretic.
For a nice change of pace, do not sleep on this amazing show that will take you on a trip you will never forget.
Kaiju No. 8
Another hype show that blew us away with gigantic Kaijus and intense action sequences is Kaiju No. 8. In a world threatened by monsters, Japanese Anti-Kaiju Defense Force officers are the only ones keeping everyone safe.
See what happens when Kafka, a middle-aged man well past his prime, dreams of joining this elite squad.
The Elusive Samurai
This is a hidden gem that became famous for its unique plot, quirky characters and a surprising amount of gore. The premise focuses on a young samurai whose only quality is to evade and escape, rather than the usual battle prowess samurais are known for.
If you are into dynamic historical settings that can subvert your expectations, this is the show for you.
