Must Watch Anime

Welcome back again, today i will attempt to list the Best of the Best anime (in my opinion at least). This list consists of what i call my personal ‘if-you-haven’t-watched-these-don’t-talk-to-me-about-anime’ set. Well in no particular order.. ah.. yes, in alphabetical order here we go.

  • Death Note
  • Code Geass: Hangyakyu no Lelouch R1 (and R2)
  • Mushishi

Okay, that was a pretty short list, but its basically what i believe that everyone would enjoy. (dont worry i wont end this post with only listing 3). Here are other honorable mentions which, arent the best out there but still are pretty good ones, ill try to separate them by genre. Here goes:

Action Packed Anime

  • Full Metal Alchemist
  • Hunter x Hunter
  • Hellsing
  • Gungrave*
  • Rurouni Kenshin
  • Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann*
On the Lighter Side
  • Clannad
  • Ai Yori Aoshi*
  • 5 Centimeters Per Second (movie)
Martial Arts/Sports
  • Historys Strongest Discple Kenshi
  • Hajime no Ippo
Okay, so i believe the 3 with asterisks need some explanation.
Gungrave, at the start it may be a bit boring, complicated and seem like its not going anywhere, but as the show progresses, it proves to be something really unique, the same can be said for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, the beginnings can be a bit slow but it develops into a really great and memorable show.

 

Lastly, Ai Yori Aoshi tis a romance anime, if tons of sappy are too much for you.. dont watch the 3 in its group. Although Ai Yori Aoshi can seem like a typical ‘Romance’  anime at times, its progression is well paced and unlike other animes or its genre, it doesn’t have the annoying repetitiveness and tons of unnecessary suspense that brings down most others. Hope you enjoyed my short List, No idea what ill be writing about next time so ensure u bookmark or subscribe to the rss feed to be the first to know 🙂
