Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of Underworld was the best season of Sword Art Online. Part of the reason for that is because Kirito was comatosed. That put the spotlight on the other characters and it was a nice change of pace. Click HERE to find out what happened to Kirito.
Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of Underworld also had amazing moments of animation. A-1 Pictures managed to do a good job of managing resources and putting most of the budget on the animation.
4. Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia

A.D. 2016, the foundations of humanity have been incinerated by the Mage King Solomon.

Using the Rayshift time travel technology, Chaldea’s last master Ritsuka Fujimaru and his demi-servant Mash Kyrielight have traveled to and resolved six Singularities. Now, they depart for their most dangerous destination yet: a civilization in the Age of Gods, B.C. 2655 Mesopotamia. Ritsuka and Mash soon discover that Demonic Beasts roam the land, attacking people and towns. Amidst chaos and terror lies humanity’s last defense—Uruk, a fortress city that acts as the frontline for the battle against the beasts.

Along with Gilgamesh and the summoned servants, Ritsuka and Mash must protect Uruk against the magical beasts’ onslaught and defeat the Three Goddess Alliance who aims to eradicate humankind; all the while, a greater threat looms over Uruk, preparing for its awakening.

Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia had been in the works for a while and has a movie budget. Theres a bunch of talented animators that worked on this project and it shows. The animation is stellar and is some of the best this year.
Gilgamesh, whose is often seen as arrogant, is toned down and thrusted into the hero role as he fights to protect his kingdom.
This is a good watch even for fans who are new to the Fate series.

Beastars was one of the most anticipated anime of the fall season and it delivered. It was adapted by studio Orange, which is the same studio that adapted Land of the Lustrous (2017)
There is love, drama, social messages, and even violence. One of the best things about Beastars is that it has something to say. There is no random fan service and it’s presented very well.
What stands out most from Beastars is the CG animation. Studio Orange really nailed it once again and was able to deliver somehing unique and still make it work. Click HERE to find out why the animation is so good.
Beastars is a must watch for anyone looking for something different.

The best anime of fall 2019 is the 4th season of Boku no Hero Academia. The Kai arc had alot of highlights but getting to know Mirio Toogata and see his character development was one of the best highlight.
Even though the first arc of the season didn’t have extreme highs as previous seasons, the last two episodes made up for it.
