[Edit]
I'm gonna spice mine up a bit by adding some flavor text/ mini reviews
5) Fune wo Amu
very unusual subject matter (it's about a team making a japanese dictionary), handles its characters beautifully, and avoids my most hated kind of epilogue ending (everyone has kids, I HATE that trope). only reason it's not higher is that the subject matter and relatively realistic presentation can easily bore people if the characters dont resonate with them
4)scorching ping pong girls
this got overlooked during the season it's in for having a more moe-looking art style, but it's more like a hype sports anime than a slice of life based on ping pong, and is probably my favorite one in spite of the fact that it's an incomplete adaptation because I loved the soundtrack and direction so much. highly underrated.
3) Sega Hard Girls
it's hard to find a "fanservice in the non-ecchi sense of the word" show than this one. it's 12 episodes of pure sega goodness with a ton of fun easter eggs and actual sega characters along with a genuinely emotional ending. bonus points for how the more I learn about sega the more fun it is to watch, leading me to watch it more than once.
2) New Game!
this one's about a bunch of cute girls working to make video games, but every once in a while it ditches the fun humor for a more serious take and it usually does so quite well. helps that the guy making it used to work in video games.
1) No Game No Life
it's funny how this show is the embodiment of what a lot of people hate about anime (wish fulfillment, isekai, ecchi, the list goes on) but for my money it's one of the most well directed and well written of these isekai shows with a whole cast of characters that I enjoy. I can't think of a single one that got on my nerves that much, even the "annoying little girl" ended up being more endearing than annoying in the end, with her subtle misunderstandings of social norms. and the shiritori battle is one of the best things committed to TV Animation to me.
