It's a toss-up between Invincible and Arcane for me, but if I really really had to choose, I'll have to go with Arcane. Fortiche's animation is freaking gorgeous.

What about you guys? What, in your opinion, is this year's best TV show?
 
I vote Squid Game. Usually hyped shows are pretty mediocre to me, but I thoroughly enjoyed this show. I liked the characters, the storyline, the introspection on society as a whole - all of it. The soundtrack was a bop, too. Don't tell me you didn't bob your head to the bad guy's "hee hoo" theme music. DON'T LIE

OddTaxi.

Arcane is a massive landmark being the best videogame show/movie ever made, pretty sure the only thing that comes close is Castlevania.

If you enjoyed Squid Game I highly recommend Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor.

I did a cursory google search and the premise seems interesting.

Is there any special reason why you chose this show over all the others?

OddTaxi is a very tightly knit story that does exactly what it sets out to do. It's unique presentation and extremely entertaining dialogue is a delight. I eagerly hope it gets a dub just so I have a reason to watch it again.
Initial Premise: A Taxi Driver takes various people around a city in Japan.

I might have to give OddTaxi a watch one of these days.

On another note, I gave Squid Game a bit more thought, and I honestly think I would have liked the show a lot more if it weren't for the last episode. I'm not a big fan of the ending, specifically the twist involving the old guy and Gi-Hun's last-minute decision to ditch his flight. It's a shame, because the rest of the show is actually quite good.
 
Definitely Squid Game!
