Can't really make a definite list with a ranking nor have I thought deeply about it but I liked:

Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo (though I wasn't a fan of the last 3 or so eps.)

Kimetsu no Yaiba

One Punch Man Season 2 (held my expectations low since I heard some bad suff, so I was pleasantly surprised!)

Yakusoku no Neverland

Dororo

Tate no Yuusha (even though I think it's not that good, I kinda liked it...)

Kaguya sama

 

And there's Boogiepop 2019... it's kind of in a limbo of being good and bad. Having read the novels beforehand (and I loved them. not just as good LN but as good books in general) I was kinda disappointed by all the good and important stuff that they had left out to the point that I actually think they made it unnecessarily confusing and weird. But the mood, meaning the music and how they framed everything was so well done IMO that I kinda enjoyed it even though I cringed every time they realized what they had cut out.

 

I already forgot a bunch of shows that come out this year and that I had watched but if I forgot them, they probably didn't leave much of an impression on me...

I’m not familiar with the LNs but had watched the  original anime & was largely confused by it. I had an easier time with the update, but yeah, was obvious parts were being left out. I enjoyed certain arcs a good bit, but others not so much. I think my favorite was with Scarecrow & Pigeon and wish it had been longer. Really enjoyed tge opening & closing songs for the 2019 version.

It is a confusing series though. With fast changes in time and POV character in a short amount of time - not unlike Baccano but the anime fails to tie everything together. However, even the novels leave several things open and unanswered, very much intentional since its a long story where things get indirectly answered in later books (I've read only to book 6 so far and the anime leaves one arc out [a really good and important one!]). I can only recommend the LN; not only as good LNs but as good books in general with great writing.
