My top 10 anime of 2023! What are yours?

Anime; the one thing that gets us closer to each other and brings us together.
All spoilers must be tagged!
From your list, I really enjoyed I'm in Love with the Villainess, Sacrificial Princess, Magical Revolution, and Buddy Daddies. Zom100, Overtake, and Yuri is My Job were on the decent tier. I didn't watch Pluto or Ooku, so can't comment on those. However, Helk was really the one show that I tried so hard to like, but it just couldn't fully get there. I really enjoyed the beginning few episodes, and even the whole flashback arc that a lot of people despised. But after the flashbacks were over, it seemed like they lost their way and tried to do too much and be too many different things. The whole reason the bad guys did everything didn't make any sense (who is farming or making food or providing services in this kingdom?) but I did appreciate the underlying positive message. Maybe now that they've set everything else up, a S2 would be more consistent. I'll still give it a chance if they make more.
For me, my favorite 10 shows this year are probably (in no particular order)
Heavenly Delusion
Tomo Chan is a Girl
Ruroni Kenshin
Apothecary Diary
The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses
Dark Gathering
100 girlfriends Who Really Love You
Undead Girl Murder Farce
Sacrificial Princess
Hell's Paradise
Frieren is still running, otherwise it'd be on here too. Undead Unluck was a serious contender too. That show is a lot of fun.
Lots of other excellent shows on your list, just got around to watching The Apothecary Diaries myself and it would have been a serious contender for a top 10 spot had I just had time to get to it in particular.
