The year 2023 has come to an end. What animated works have you watched last year? Today, let us sort out the 7 best high-quality anime choices of 2023 as a reference for Japafans who haven’t watched them, so that everyone won’t be too bored during the holidays!
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
“Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” or Sousou no Frieren can be considered the best comic adaptation in recent years. The main story tells that among the team of heroes who defeated the Demon King, there was a long-lived fairy wizard “Frieren”.
After the death of the hero, he realized the short life span of humans, and wished to see the hero “Himmel” again. He started his journey again on the same path as he and the hero team defeated the demon king.
This is a great work with great emotional portrayal and very interesting everyday adventures. You should not miss it.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Season 2
The very popular animation “Jujutsu Kaisen” also launched its second season in 2023, and this time the story is divided into two chapters. They are the “Hidden Inventory” chapter and the “Shibuya Incident” chapter.
The first half of the “Hidden Inventory” chapter tells how “Gojo Satoru” became the strongest wizard before the start of this chapter. The Shibuya Incident chapter is a precursor to the first season. The mastermind behind “Natsu Youjie” who took Gojo Satoru’s friend used a trick and sealed Gojo Satoru.
The subsequent fight scenes between Sukuna and the demons summoned by Megumi Fushiguro, Itadori and Aoi Todo against Mahito are also very interesting. The artwork of the former has a theatrical quality, which is a real treat for those who love fighting manga.
“Attack on Titan” The Final Season Part 3
After ten years since its first season in 2013, Attack on Titan has finally come to an end, with new and exciting themes and a nearly unmatched plot.
Eren, who continued to pursue freedom, chose to advance alone. As a result, many lives were lost and his former comrades had to fight against him. The long-running war between humans and giants finally ended this year.
Helck the Hero
This is a story about a brave man, Helck, who once saved the world, but somehow ended up in the Demon Realm, which is supposed to be the enemy of humanity. He even participates in the Demon King contest!
After uttering his famous words, “Humans are evil,” he also received applause from the Demons. But behind his bright smile, there is a big secret. After a series of events, he begins a strange journey with one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan, “Vamirio.”
Oshi No Ko
Hoshino Ai, a super famous idol who has become a sensation in Japan, one day appears at an obstetrics and gynecology clinic in a remote village, and the doctor who treats her, Goro, is a fan of hers.
In this worst encounter, the doctor who treated him was suddenly killed. However, when he opened his eyes again, he had become one of the twins born to his idol, “Hoshino Ai”. Mixed with longing and affection, a strange story of the idol world unfolds as he encounters Ai Hoshino, who is an idol but has a little secret about them.
The Apothecary Diaries
The anime The Apothecary Diaries or Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, which is combined with the style of ancient Chinese palace, tells the story of a pharmacist’s child, “Maomao”, who was caught by human traffickers by chance, and was eventually sent to the current emperor’s harem.
She uses her love of poisons and knowledge of pharmacology to shine in the harem, where there is a lot of competition. This is a very interesting and rare story set in the ancient Chinese palace.
BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!!
Since the release of “K-ON!” almost 10 years ago, “Light Music Department” to “Lonely Rock!”, there have not been many popular and impressive music-related animation works, but “BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!!” produced this year unexpectedly became popular and became one of the works that many people are talking about.
Although the musical performances are also very good, what is more popular is the very subtle emotional portrayal of the characters in the work, which makes people have to look forward to the next development and feel very nervous at the same time.
2023 with a large number of excellent works
Amazing animations are popping up like mushrooms after rain in 2023. While there have been many amazing works in recent years, 2023 is definitely a milestone year.
We also hope that Japanese animation will be able to provide more people with the opportunity to come into contact with more interesting and extraordinary works like this year.
