All the Anime I Watched in 2024

·

·

Updated

Few anime fans force themselves to watch regularly unless they write reviews for money. But I asked myself last year: what else can I do to enjoy and enrich my life?

Watch one anime cour a week. And I did it!

Here’s what I watched so you don’t have to. Scores with a ★ deserve your attention.

My Criteria:

  1. On my “Plan to Watch” list.
  2. Ideally a title that should be hyped but isn’t.
  3. Prioritize titles my partner doesn’t want to watch together.
  4. Partial credit for an intermittent group watch has an asterisk.
