Two that just ended that I thought were exceptional are Frieren and Apothecary Daires. The latter better be anime of the year. I don't think either are considered Shonen, if that matters to you.
Frieren is really chill and explores the little time we have with the people we care about. The first episode tells how an elf spends 10 years with a party to defeat the demon lord. But now they split ways and time moved differently for our elf protagonist since elves live thousands of years.
The second is a masterpiece of a story. A girl raised an apothecary (someone who deals with poisons and medicine) is kidnapped and sold to the palace to take care of the emperor's concubines. She is so intelligent and is a problem solver. I don't want to give more away. I hope more animes have story telling like this in the future.
My favorites in general are Bleach, Yuyu Hakusho, Hunter x Hunter (2011) and FMA:B.
Edit: Sorry, I was looking for new communities and I didn't notice this thread is months old.
hell yeah, never too late for recs!
