I’m a huge anime fan, and honestly, there are so many amazing shows that don’t get the attention they deserve. But some really break through and offer something truly special – unique stories, incredible animation, you name it. I’ve been putting together a list of what I think are the very best anime from the last decade, and here’s how I’d rank them!

Fans often face long waits between new Batman movies. It’s been over three years since the first film directed by Matt Reeves, and we’re still awaiting its sequel. With both that movie and the upcoming DCU film, The Brave and the Bold, on the horizon, it’s hard to say when the next Batman movie will arrive. Fortunately, there are plenty of other great films to enjoy in the meantime. These movies will not only keep you entertained while you wait for more Batman, but they might also give you a fresh perspective on the Batman films you already love.

The idea of what makes a hero is a recurring question in My Hero Academia. At the beginning of the series, Midoriya seems like an impossible candidate – he’s born without any superpowers, or ‘Quirk’. This leaves both him and the audience wondering how he could ever become a hero. While All Might encourages him to believe he can be a hero early on, he immediately gives Midoriya the powerful ‘One for All’ Quirk. This feels like a contradiction – All Might initially suggests heroism comes from within, but then provides a power boost. Even by Season 8, the anime hasn’t clearly resolved this question of whether someone needs powers to be a true hero.

Beware – spoilers ahead for Wicked: For Good! The musical ends with Elphaba (played by Cynthia Erivo) giving Glinda her magical book, the Grimmerie, and assuring her everything will be okay before confronting Dorothy. Glinda watches in distress as Elphaba appears to be destroyed. However, Elphaba survives and escapes Oz with Fiyero, pausing at the edge of the Deadly Desert for one last look. Meanwhile, Glinda returns to the tower where she and Elphaba first met. As she sings a final rendition of “For Good,” the Grimmerie magically opens to a specific spell illustrated with two golden hands.
