News - 21st Aug 2024


10. Steins;Gate

While time travel can be a cliché that can seem trite when used poorly, Steins;Gate makes it compelling even when it is using tropes that are too familiar. The series follows Rintaro Okabe, a delusional scientist who discovers time travel. He then realizes all the problems that can arise from being so reckless with such a concept. It's easy to fall in love with Steins;Gate because of its fascinating characters, who may not always be likeable, and the interesting premise. Funimation fans should also check it out as it is different than many other anime series.


9. Danganronpa is the Animation

Danganronpa The Animation is an older anime but it's still a great one. There are plenty of mystery and dark humor throughout. A class of high school students are trapped at Hope's Peak Academy after being accepted to the elite school. However, their excitement is crushed when a murderous Teddy Bear appears and tells them that they will have to kill their classmates in order to live. Danganronpa offers viewers a storyline similar to The Hunger Games. It is intense and no character can be trusted. There are high stakes and significant losses, even though they try to find the secrets of the school. Danganronpa will keep viewers watching for the next episode, even if it's just to learn what happens to these students. That's what makes it so addictive. Monokuma is a surprisingly funny evil teddy bear.


8. The Rising of the Shield Hero

Although The Rising of the Shield Hero anime is relatively new, it has been receiving a lot of attention in its first season. Naofumi, the series' protagonist, is a university student who soon finds himself called upon to defend Melromarc. Fans of fantasy will love the setting of Melromarc, but there is so much more to the anime. Naofumi is the weakest among a group heroes who are responsible for protecting Melromarc. Naofumi, also known as the Shield Hero will soon discover that there are bigger problems than just his position among the protectors. The beginning of the series sees him dealing with betrayal, which gives viewers plenty to speculate on while they eat.


7. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Demon Slayer, another anime in the rising popularity is a great choice for those who love the supernatural. Demon Slayer is the story of Tanjirou, a young boy who lives in a world in which demons lurk in woods. Tanjirou has been able to protect his family from the demons of his world for so long. But, when the series opens, everything changes. Tanjirou returns home to find his family killed by the demons that he has worked so hard to protect. To make matters worse, Tanjirou's sister isn't actually alive or dead. She's now one of his hated things and he will have to deal with this fact as he navigates the new reality. Demon Slayer is not for the faint of heart. However, anyone who loves a dark and brutal story should give it a try.


6. Cowboy Bepop

Cowboy Bepop is a beloved anime series among anime fans. It is worth the effort to see what all the fuss is about. Cowboy Bepop will keep viewers' attention, regardless of whether they plan to binge-watch the series or rewatch it multiple times to catch up on details. It's about bounty hunters in space. Are there better premises than this? Follow Spike Spiegel and his team as they try to find a dangerous exmilitary officer on Mars, preferably before he releases deadly Nano-bots. Cowboy Bepop is a comedy-action series. Spike Spiegel and his crew are entertaining enough to keep anyone's attention, but the futuristic vibes of bounty hunting and Spike Spiegel certainly add to the fun.


5. Mob Psycho 100

Mob Psycho 100 isn't as well-known as One Punch Man's masterpiece, but it deserves all the attention. Mob Psycho 100 doesn't have the same shonen-style fighting that draws viewers to animes like One Punch Man, but it has all the amazing supernatural elements. The anime is set in a world that has telekinesis, evil spirits, and Shigeo "Mob” Kageyama, an extraordinary young esper. Mob's story combines growing up, exorcising ghosts and hilarious humor into one series. It's easy to get lost in the endless stream of events. Mob Psycho 100, which has only two seasons, is easy to binge watch on Funimation. This will prepare anyone who is interested in becoming a fan of the third season (assuming that one is ever confirmed).


4. Code Geass - Lelouch for the Rebellion

Code Geass is a popular anime from the 1990s. It tells a science-fiction story about a future in which Britannia, a superpower nation, has invaded and conquered Japan. Lelouch is an exiled prince of Britannia who leads a resistance against those who have taken over his home. He calls it the Black Knights. Britannia's military is often challenged by the Black Knights, who use mechas called Knightmare Frames. Code Geass' mecha action is not enough to convince you to watch it. The politics and characters will also keep you interested enough to binge-watch.


3. Dragon Ball Z

Dragon Ball Z is a great anime series for anime fans. Those who have already seen the series can always go back and rewatch it.

Fans can continue watching the series even after it ends, and they can also move on to Dragon Ball Super or the original Dragon Ball.


2. My Hero Academia

My Hero Academia is a popular anime series. It's not hard to see why. The series is a true story of an underdog, following Izuku Midoriya (a young boy who lives in a world with superpowers, better known as "Quirks") Midoriya, however, is not one of them. Midoriya's desire to become a hero is hindered by the fact that he has not developed a Quirk. The anime shows Midoriya's attempts to become a hero despite all odds. That's what makes it so interesting. We all have given our best to achieve what we want, right?


1. Attack On Titan

Attack on Titan is set in a world where humans live inside walls and are afraid to venture outside to face the man-eating Titans. The series is full of shocking twists and high stakes, which will keep viewers on the edge. The compelling character arcs and fast-paced plot are enough to make viewers want to binge-watch Attack on Titan. Fans will not only be jumping from episode one to the next to find out what happens, but they'll also become so involved in the lives and adventures of the Scout Regiment and the 104th Cadet Corps that they'll want to continue watching for their characters' sakes.
