Highest Rated Anime Shows of the 2020s
Includes both TV series and Mini-series. These are shows that had their first episode released during the 2020s. Just sort this list by IMDb rating to be safe, ratings change quickly. I'm always adding new titles. Ordered by IMDb's usual overall rating instead of the Top 250's alternate weighting system.
If you're viewing this list on the IMDb mobile app, the IMDb rating sort doesn't include hidden decimals like the desktop version does, so shows with the same one decimal rating are sorted randomly on the app only.
