Dorohedoro and Beastars. Great pretender was good as well

I think "non-sequel" is the word you're looking for.

My top 5 from last year:

5- Deca-Dence

4- Talentless Nana

3- Smile Down The Runway

2- Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina

1- Sing 'Yesterday' For Me

Honourable Mentions:

- Kakushigoto

- Great Pretender

Rent-a-girlfriend and adachi to shimamura

Dorohedoro and Great Pretender were so good

Great pretender

Would Rent A Girlfriend count?

Yes^

Cool 👍.

"By without sequels" do you mean "that don't have sequels now and will be getting sequels" or "that won't be getting sequels at all"????
