The best one I’ve found is called “Learn Japanese with Masa sensei” (on Spotify and Youtube.)
The only problem is that I’ve almost caught up to their latest episode (#207 on YT) so now I’m looking for recommendations.
This is what makes the Masa-series good according to me:
* Episodes are in order so that when the next episode starts, you will have sufficient prior knowledge to follow along (whereas many others release episodes by jumping back and forth between the N1-N5 levels randomly.)
* She doesn’t rely on visual presentations, so I can learn Japanese while taking my walks.
* She explains the grammar clearly, step by step in English.
* She runs drills, so that you can internalize the knowledge.
* The episodes are labelled well so if I need to revisit something, it’s not like finding a needle in a haystack.

Just out of curiosity, why do you need another lesson series? Why not move into native materials and revisit this one when you run into questions?
[tokini andy](https://www.youtube.com/c/ToKiniAndy) on youtube is pretty good. he has full genki lessons and intermediate level textbooks too.
I remember listening to ” Learn Japanese with Manga – sensei” a long time ago .
Masa is good on YouTube too, though some of her examples are a bit weird when translated to English.
