Alysa Liu‘s already making her reputation with her smiley piercing (which she did herself) and her cool hair. Of course everyone is watching her after she won the 2026 Winter Olympic champion for both women’s singles and in the team event. Now anime fans are talking about her because of her excellent taste in anime and manga. And when we say excellent, we mean it. Ranking your top 5 can tell you a lot about a person, and she’s got some superb choices in the mix.

Coming in HOT with “Jujutsu Kaisen,” and “Chainsaw Man.” Two shojo anime that tell an epic story riddled with adventure. Here’s the complete list below.

Her favorites include:

Jujutsu Kaisen

Chainsaw Man

Attack on Titan

Madoka Magica

Soul Eater

One of the things that make me say “woah” is the choice for Madoka Magica. That one in particular is a DARK take on the magical girl genre. It makes me stand back and say damn, this girl is DEEP. And other fans of anime are saying the same over her picks.
