OP’s comment: Too bad their SFX is ass.
4 - Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc - Sakugabooru

OP's comment: No one does 3D graphics better in anime than Ufotable and KyoAni to an extent. If you want to find better 3D animation, you have to go west and look for the likes of Disney/Pixar.
3 - Violet Evergarden - Sakugabooru

2 - Akebi's Sailor Uniform - Sakugabooru

OP's comment: Violet has the higher highs, but Akebi has better and more consistent average quality
1 - Tsurune S2 - Sakugabooru

Honorable mentions:
-
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle - Haven't seen it, but it seems to improve on the Entertainment District Arc based on the trailer
-
The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity - It's not in my top five simply because I haven't finished it yet. But as it stands, at its best, it would be at #3 or #2. I mean, look at this. It (and the recent Episode 12 post) inspired me to make this post. It will come down to how consistent its animation quality would be.
I mostly agree, but I think studio Orange is missing from that list. They're the only studio that has made great-looking full 3D anime.
Which brings me to one of my favourites visually: Land of the Lustrous. Gorgeous 3D animation and great action scenes. The reflective "hair" of the characters is only possible due to the 3D.
