Kung naghihintay ka ng sign para manoond ng anime, o naghahanap ka ng mga recommendations, ibinahagi ng Valorant pro player na si Tyson “TenZ” Ngo ang kaniyang anime tier list.
Ang sikat na streamer, na nakapanood na ng napakaraming anime sa iba’t-ibang genres, ay pumili sa kaniyang mahigit 300 titles at ni-rank ang mga ito mula sa “God tier” patungo sa mga shows na hindi pa niya napapanood.
Ipinakita ng kaniyang tier list ang isang mix ng mainstream at mga hindi masyadong kilalang shows. Nabanggit niya noon na isa siyang malaking fan ng action-adventure shows tulad ng Hunter x Hunter at Attack on Titan.
