Best Anime of 2018
Ranked by our critic's grades, best first.
Devilman CrybabyGo Nagai's apocalypse, animated by Masaaki Yuasa with no restraint at all, which is the only way it could have been done.Read the review
Golden KamuyA treasure hunt through Meiji Hokkaido that is part war story, part cookery lesson and part Ainu ethnography, and somehow all of it lands.
Grand BlueA diving club comedy in which almost nobody dives, adapted with the volume turned up rather than down.
Violet EvergardenThe most beautiful television Kyoto Animation has produced, wrapped around writing that reaches for tears too often.
