Of course, Funimation has tons of exclusive titles under its watch, and many of them ended up becoming hits in 2021. Ranking of Kings, Vivi – Fluorite Eye's Song, The Heike Story, Moriarty the Patriot – Part 2, SK8 the Infinity, and others made the cut this year. In fact, it seems SK8 the Infinity drummed up the most buzz of these exclusive titles in 2021. If you want to know more about the action series, you can read up on its official synopsis below:

"High school students Reki and Langa are hooked on one thing-a dangerous, top-secret, no-holds-barred downhill skateboarding race called "S." When Reki takes Langa, a transfer student, to the mountain where "S" is held, Langa finds himself sucked in. These colorful skaters will take you through a thrilling story of skateboard battles and unlimited possibilities!"

Beyond the service's exclusive titles, some familiar series landed on the best list. Sonny Boy, My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Fruits Basket, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, Megalobox, and more made the cut. Each of these series put out new seasons in 2021. Black Clover ranked high on this year's list as the annual shonen ended back in March to rave reviews, and there is hope yet for its return.
