The verdict
Season picksMust watchSpring 2026A theater-school anthology with no main character, told as interlocking scenes from many students' perspectives and jumping around in time. Stage-like storyboarding and painted-backdrop backgrounds make it a contender for the greatest theater kid anime ever. Psychologically dense writing and some of the best storyboarding around, from the director of Chihayafuru and Cardcaptor Sakura.
