I feel like the article is extremely subjective, so I figured it'd be more fun to post your own top 10 good/bads.

I'll start with mine.

Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle
Dark Gathering
Ya Boy Kongming!
Great Pretender
Summertime Rendering
Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost
Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater
Uncle from Another World
Digimon Adventures (2020)
Muteking the Dancing Hero

I tried thinking of anime that I'd suggest to friends who are already fairly active watchers, but for some reason or another had them slip through the cracks.

So far it's been the following:

Bang Brave Bang Bravern - Big gay robots. Hilarious show.
Skip and Loafer - Succeeds more than any anime I've seen at making the characters feel like people.
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken - Fun story about making anime.
Vivy -Fluorite Eye's Song- - The only "robots rebel against humanity" anime I've ever liked.
ODDTAXI - An excellent story about a guy who gets wrapped up in some shady dealings he'd rather avoid.

There's been some other great stuff too of course but I wouldn't say that anything else I've seen that's been released since 2020 has been overrated.

As for worst it's gonna be hard to beat The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - Northern War and Ex-Arm.

Bravern is top of my list as well. Hell, Mother's Basement made a whole video about how everybody slept on Bravern despite how much ass it kicked.

I've only seen oddtaxi from your list. I look forward to checking out the others.

As for worst.. I have one in mind but the name escapes me at this very moment. Oh right. Gibiate.

Oh, $DEITY, that thing was such a train wreck! I watched it to the end thinking that it couldn't possibly get any worse.

It did.
