35. Acchi Kocchi
https://myanimelist.net/anime/12291/Acchi_Kocchi_TV

Acchi Kocchi is basically the closest thing we have to like a Lucky Star for this decade so it should not be surprising it's high up my list considering Lucky Star is my favorite show (and hasn't really been in danger of being dethroned since Steins;Gate). The show is a slice of life comedy about a group of friends.

I want to start with the art first. The show just looks cute. If you thought rabbits art style looked cute, this is like moe meter over 9000. There are still more slice of life comedies coming up but this is the top if like literally looking cute. There are some similarities to lucky star in overall style but the "roundness" of this show gives it its own feel.

The "story" is basically Miniwa trying to work up courage to tell Io how she feels about him. She's very shy and therefore the show makes her super moe. Io is pretty dense, and kinda stoic at times so their conversations can be awkward for comedic effect. The cast works well together and the running gags are pretty cute. It's not always like the most hilarious thing, but it picks its moments. Like the show is home to some skits that are close to nichijou level, but it also has mixes of more serene slice of life shows like Non Non Biyori in it too.

Acchi Kocchi really isn't anything new to the genre, but I still consider it to be a must watch for fans of it.

34. A Certain Scientific Railgun S
https://myanimelist.net/anime/16049/Toaru_Kagaku_no_Railgun_S

Railgun S is the second season of a spin off series of Index (which also has two seasons). The spin off follows the 3rd ranked esper in Academy City "Railgun" Mikoto Misaka. Along with a group of friends both esper and normies she fights to protect the city.

The show is split into two arcs, the second of which is anime only I believe. The first arc is better, but the flair and overall quality still makes the whole show more than worth a watch. Like I watch the fights, flashy animation, the amazing music that is put to them, when the show wants you to pay attention it really delivers the entire package. Obviously this is the second season of a spin off so there is significant entry cost exists.

The cast of the series has always been enjoyable and it helps that Mikoto is among the most popular characters in the series. But the supporting cast (especially Kuruko and Accelerator) are also very appealing. Accelerator has proven to be popular enough to get his own spin off.(not animated). Mikoto herself is more of a tomboy type. I'd say tsundere, but I can't recall if I'd actually fit her into that. In any case the energetic one is Kuruko... because Mikoto wears shorts under her skirt... Kuruko is like all the fan service and she does it by being hilarious at the same time.

A mentioned the production values are high and the music is specifically a very strong point. The show has a good mix of comedy and action. Basically it has something very everyone and doesn't sacrifice anything for its broad appeal.
