2024 has been a great year for anime thus far, with brand-new hits like My Deer Friend Nokotan and Delicious in Dungeon gaining traction alongside established hits like One Piece and My Hero Academia. Recently, a prominent Japanese review service revealed which 10 anime works that were released in the first half of 2024 were the most popular among its users.

Filmarks, one of Japan's largest media review sites, allows users to rate works based on a star scale of one to five. Per PR Times, Filmarks has now released its official "Anime Rankings for the First Half of 2024," which only counts series that premiered or had seasonal continuations in 2024. The list includes a number of works that have gained large audiences outside of Japan, such as My Hero Academia and Black Butler. However, these ratings ultimately shed some interesting light on the differences that exist between Japan's viewer base and the worldwide anime community.

My Dress-Up Darling has claimed fifth place in Japanese media conglomerate Kadokawas top 100 ebooks of the first half of 2024. The list, made by ebook platform BookWalker, was largely dominated by fantasy and isekai series, with My Dress-Up Darling being the only non-fantasy series to earn a top spot within the top 10.

BookWalkers top 100 ebooks of 2024 were ranked by the most popular/most read manga and light novels on the platform from the months January to June. The top 10 most popular series included many titles also familiar to anime-only fans, with the likes of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Jujutsu Kaisen and Oshi no Ko likewise earning high spots. The full top 10 list can be viewed below.

Some anime start strong with a good plot and substantial character development. However, it happens more than often that an anime, especially a romance series, holds a lot of potential but fails to make it work out in the end. Although the essence of love stories is in experiencing the emotion and the depth of the characters desperation for one another, the importance of closure cannot be overemphasized. Its so important for a romance to find its footing in the end, because an inconclusive love story often lacks feel-good vibes and connectivity.

Its incredibly crucial for a good romance anime to stick the landing and offer fans a satisfactory end so that all the dilemma and the drama they saw throughout the series makes sense. A romance without a course of action or direction radiates vagueness. Thats why fans should be treated to romance anime that offer a lesson or...

The series finale of The Dangers In My Heart subtly subverts romance tropes to incredible effect. The build-up to the confession is crucial in understanding the impactful final episode's strategy. The kiss at the end perfectly encapsulates Yamada and Ichikawa's unique relationship dynamic.

The overall delivery of The Dangers In My Heart's series finale on Hidive best encapsulates how the two-season anime subtly subverted the whole romance genre as a whole. On the surface, viewers might think that what they're seeing is something that's already been said and done, but, upon closer inspection, it is truly much more nuanced than originally believed. There's a reason why Japanese viewers voted it number one in Ranked.net's "2024 Winter Anime Evaluation."

Incredibly, The Dangers In My Heart achieved this by not only failing to reject ubiquitous conventions, but by actually fully embracing them, including the ever-elusive confession and kiss, which might...

A-1 Pictures' action-fantasy Solo Leveling was undeniably one of the most popular anime of the season in many countries overseas, including those in North America. However, a recent Japanese poll indicates a major split in opinion between domestic and international audiences, with the former seeming to be far less impressed than the latter.

According to the results of Ranked.net's "2024 Winter Anime Evaluation," Solo Leveling placed only 35th (out of 61) among the most popular anime of the season. On average, viewers only deemed the show worthy of a 50.6 rating -- a significantly lower score compared to many competitors within the fantasy and isekai genres. Overall, Japanese audiences were far more generous to comparatively more light-hearted fantasy series like Villainess Level 99, Mashle: Magic in Muscles and Delicious in Dungeon, which respectively rank as the 2nd, 3rd and 4th most popular works of Winter 2024 according to the poll.

The first episode introduces us to the main protagonist of the series, middle schooler Kyotaro Ichikawa, who has delusions of murdering his classmates, and first of all, Anna Yamada, his rather tall classmate who is a magazine model and actress and the most popular individual in the class. Kyotaro even goes as far as staying by himself for long hours in the library reading about murder and human anatomy, until one day he stumbles upon Anna eating snacks also in the library, in a tendency that is later revealed to be due...

To many viewers, anime has had a rough year of it. While the number of titles being released per season seems to be perpetually rising, that doesn’t always mean the quality of anime rises with it -- especially as the industry continues to be saturated with very genre-specific shows that tend to feel largely indistinguishable from one another in the long term.

However, that doesn’t mean 2023 has been devoid of solid anime content -- far from it. Although some individual seasons have perhaps lacked that one major show that made fans and critics alike sit up and take notice, the year has nonetheless delivered several standout series, inspiring plenty of audience conversation and industry buzz in the process. The following are Cbr's Anime News team's top picks of this caliber, all of which needed to air sometime during the year and complete their season runs by the end...

Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible showcases "softly aggressive" cuteness and explores the duality of wanting to be seen and overlooked. (Hidive) The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses explores a fresh spin on romance tropes with a cute and absurd basis for the relationship. (Crunchyroll) The Dangers in My Heart subverts stereotypes and deconstructs typical tropes in a dark premise, offering a unique take on romance. (Hidive)

2023 was an amazing year for romance anime. Popular series like My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 and Yuri Is My Job! might have been so beloved for a reason, but put the true romance on the back burner. Some series like Endo and Kobayashi Live! might deconstruct popular otome and "villainess" Isekai while others like Our Dating Story might tear down tropes, but when up against long-running series like Rent-a-Girlfriend, they fall short.

Ironically, some returning series were negatively affected by...

Crunchyroll will premiere the series' global release, with a new trailer and the first cuts of Episode 1 recently revealed.
