Returning to anime after a long break - what did I miss?!

Hey everyone, I'm back! Took a solid 5-year break from anime and now I'm completely lost with all the new titles. I used to love fantasy, sci-fi, and anything with cool world-building. What are some of the biggest hits or hidden gems from the last few years I should prioritize?

Welcome back! Oh man, you've missed a lot! For fantasy/world-building, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is a must-watch. Also, Re:Zero if you like dark fantasy.

Glad you're back! You HAVE to watch Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation if you like fantasy and amazing world-building. The animation is stunning.

Golden Knight

Hey there! For sci-fi, check out Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song or Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (if you're okay with mature themes). Both are fantastic!

Welcome back! Definitely catch up on Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer for some top-tier shonen action. For a unique sci-fi, try Sonny Boy.

You missed so much good stuff! For fantasy, check out Ranking of Kings, it's incredibly charming and heartfelt. Also, 86 for some great sci-fi mecha action!

Welcome home! If you liked fantasy, Overlord is a fun Isekai with a unique twist. And for sci-fi, Dr. Stone is super clever and engaging!
