The 25 most popular anime of each genre in recent years

Keeping up season after season to all the anime that are broadcast from Japan is a mission that requires hundreds and hundreds of hours. Weekly we find on the Japanese grid not only episodes of the best-known long-running series such as One Piece or Boruto , but also with many projects of different calibers that compete for the attention and attendance of the viewer. If you are one of those who thoroughly search the lists of best anime before starting to watch any of them , we bring you some of the most popular that have begun to broadcast in recent years.

Whether it's because of their quality or because they've built up a noisy fandom, the series on this list are the most popular works of the last decade, excluding the best-known magnanimous works. The time may have come to give that anime you've heard so much about but never started watching a chance.

Yuri!!! on ice

The manganime scene was revolutionized in 2016 with the premiere of this series of skaters.
