Sousou no Frieren was the best anime of 2023 according to MyAnimeList

Another year has ended and the platform MyAnimeList has published the usual ranking with the best rated anime series throughout the year. It should be noted that this list only includes the “new series” released this year, and does not include any sequels as new seasons. The latter is because MyAnimeList is seeking to highlight the freshness and innovation of new productions, giving recognition to those that offer new and exciting stories.

Additionally, by limiting the inclusion of sequels, you can give yourself room to discover and highlight new offerings rather than reaffirming the continued success of established series. This promotes diversity and the exploration of various narratives in the anime industry. It should be noted that the decision of how to structure a ranking may vary depending on the perspective and criteria of those who create it. Some lists may prefer to highlight new releases, while others may choose to include both new series and sequels, offering a more complete perspective of the year’s anime landscape.

Finally, we must remember that the ratings within MyAnimeList are constantly reviewed automatically, eliminating those that come from temporary accounts created only with the aim of affecting the rating of a series. This system has been constantly improved, so the tricks of “Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood” fans to keep the series on top no longer work like they used to.

Anyway, why don’t we check the list?
