Are you lot ill of hearing the same Anime-suggestions over and over once more? Cowboy Bebop, Set on on Titan, Code Geass, One Piece, Evangelion, Full Metal Alchemist, Bleach, Deathnote, Fairy Tail etc.? This is the list for you lot. There are only ii rules: one. They have to be less popular than the Anime named above (which I cannot e'er be certain of). 2. I had to lookout man the unabridged series without hesitation after the start episode. The important factor is fun and engagement. Genre, intended historic period, stile: does not matter. Oh, and please, let me know what you think and if there is anime I might discover entertaining. Now then:

There are three reasons why "Mushishi" is the best show on this list: one. It does not have any of the numerous anime-clichés that exist; it does not even experience like watching an anime. It is more like reading a good book, only beautifully blithe. 2. The protagonist, Ginko, is probably ane of the most likeable characters ever written – giving an interesting spin on the "alone wanderer" archetype. three. Its relaxing. I am not kidding. The (nonetheless always engaging) stories are told in a very calm tone. It is fascinating to lookout, without having to put in overblown fight scenes, panty-shots or giant robots. Every "Mushishi" episodes understands to weave a parable that makes for a proficient story – even if the intended messages flies over your head. For that, I call it the best Anime I've seen so far.

*Edit: Everything said to a higher place is still true for the unexpected and nevertheless simply as splendid 2d flavour "Mushishi: Zoku-Shou (2014)", and so requite that one a scout besides.

Vivid. There is goose egg more to say. From Satoshi Kon, the man behind "Perfect Blue", "Tokyo Godfathers" and "Paprika", this is the best psychological anime y'all have e'er seen. Like "Welcome to the N.H.K.", this still feels like a highly modern and relevant look at the societal problems of the 21st century. I was hooked from the amazingly haunting intro until the catastrophe credits of the last episode – not many shows manage to practise that. Y'all may not go everything on your showtime watch through (or so I am told), just you are going to feel the urge to discuss the show or sentinel the whole matter again, it is that expert. Merely keep in mind that Satoshi Kon likes to play with the notion of time, perception and reality: everything you are seeing on the screen is from the perspective of one of the various protagonists - unfortunately they are all insane.

Exercise you know "Stone, Newspaper, and Scissors"? A game quite wearisome to watch, isn't information technology? Wrong. This show takes something as boring as "Rock, Paper, Scissors" ("Janken", I believe information technology is chosen in Japanese) and makes it seem like a thing of life and expiry. Mostly because it is. It is so heady in fact, that I watched the entire first season in three days, which is really fast for me. I also similar the style of animation, which is unique and interesting to watch. Oh, and the opening song is catchy likewise. In that location is also a second season; it is non as good because it has only two games to play, simply it is besides a ton of fun to watch. If I had to give one criticism it would be this: If you rewatch the show, y'all find just how much some scenes get stretched for dramatic effect. Significant important plotpoints can terminal two unabridged episodes without driving forward the main story.

Now this is an anime for adults and young adults. The story has some interesting insights in our consumption culture and everybody who is into anime, games, or Japanese pop-civilisation in general should really watch this prove (y'all will see why very fast). Information technology is also very psychological and somewhat sad. "Welcome to the N.H.K" presents us with a very modern await on what effect our society can accept on the adolescent heed – dealing with topics ranging from depression to hikikomorism (google it) and even suicide. Despite all that, the evidence does not feel heavy or saddening – it keeps upwards a certain levity in about scenes past pointing out the absurdism of feeling deplorable for a guy who could do anything he wants and however manages to be miserable while doing zero. Of class, our protagonist is an extreme case, simply he remains relatable, because his plight reminds us of the darker hours I am sure virtually of united states of america had to endure sometimes in our life.

*SPOILERS*

---Practice non worry; the story does not end in suicide. However, you lot will not see the perfect happy ending either.---

At beginning, I wanted to put this show, "the Tatami Galaxy", lower on the list. Sure, the characters are fun, the visual mode is beautiful, simply despite the fact that the narrator talks fast as hell, the episodes felt a chip slow. Fortunately, they were about a topic I could chronicle to, which fabricated me keep watching until I hit the last two episodes (10, 11). Maan was it worth it. I recollect this series has one of the all-time finales in anime-history. Information technology has a clear moral, ties up the few loose ends that happened in the episodes and had me smiling all the way to the terminate. P.Southward If you are not Japanese, and wondering what the title of this show "Tatami Milky way" is well-nigh; fifty-fifty that is explained in the finale.

A show made by the one and only Hayao Miyazaki, founder of the beloved "Studio Ghibli". It shows: the story plays out like "Nausicaä from the Valley of Winds" mixed with "Castle in the sky". Sure, it is mainly a prove for children, only you will not feel impaired while watching it. The characters are all very likeable, and the story is easy to follow but very interesting nonetheless, just like all the movies Studio Ghibli has made. I find information technology odd that only few people seem to remember this testify, even though it is the simply total TV-series Miyazaki has always done. I promise that this mail manages to give the show some more well deserved attention.

I am non quite sure if this was supposed to be a show for kids or non. Not that it matters; the story is engaging and even idea provoking at times ("The Matrix" meets "TRON"... well sort of). It is similar to Myazaki'due south stile, family unit-friendly, only still interesting for everybody. However, perhaps the better comparison would be the Persona serial: piece of life with a dark undercurrent.

Now as far as I tin tell, this one is quite unknown when compared to most shows on this list. It is virtually a group of monster hunters, struggling to detect a way to bargain with the rapid changes in society. It is also a love-story, a drama, a slasher picture show, a comedy and a fighting show. However, what sounds like a huge confusing mess of an anime, like FLCL, is in fact a very well told story. Certain, it has its share of "WTF?"-moments, but they usually take a point and make sense if you think almost them. Another affair this show has going for it, is the wonderful and unique blitheness and a kick-ass opening theme vocal (which was my ring-tone for quite a while). Information technology is a bit like "Elfenlied", if information technology was an arthouse moving-picture show.

Yeah, one of my favourites: Samurai Champloo! This show would be higher on the listing, but it heavily breaks my ain dominion by simply beingness way to well known. It is from the creators of "Cowboy Bebop" (often considered the all-time anime ever fabricated), but I recollect this is the superior show. The animation is fantastic: fast, colourful - it just feels alive. The modernistic soundtrack is corking and fits the setting surprisingly well - especially the opening. The story has everything: comedy, drama, action (which unfortunately could put some people off) just it still feels like a cohesive whole (at to the lowest degree to me). Think of it as the younger, happier brother of Cowboy Bebob (which was ofttimes but depressing).

Considering I wanted to try something new, I started watching sports anime. Even though I watched some decent ones (e.grand. Bamboo-Blade, One-Outs), I did not exactly call back whatever of them would belong on this list. Well lucky for me, I stumbled across this gem. Do not permit its dumb title fool you: This show does far more than the average sports-anime. The story follows a satisfying, graphic symbol-driven arc (11 episodes); the animation and sound-design are gorgeously unique (well... If you practice not heed the rotoscoped faces and dirty designs) and it manages to be exciting, fifty-fifty if you know zippo well-nigh the sport.

I really like recommending this prove to people who think stereotypes and formulas cannot make for a proficient testify. While it is true that Tiger & Bunny seems almost completely constructed from stock characters and predictable arcs, it also manages to evangelize all of them in a believable way. To give some broad examples:

• It is a superhero show that does not rely too heavy on crazy powers and battles.
• It is a buddy-cop show whose two leads actually have two separate character arcs.
• Information technology features camp villains, whose motivation is non completely incomprehensible or confusing.

The show is of course not perfect, as it does occasionally shift towards Shonen melodrama. However, if you merely have information technology equally a uncomplicated feel-good anime, it really manages to polish - even if y'all tin can meet well-nigh plot-points coming from a mile away.

This show is perfect for this list: Not merely is information technology imaginative and fun, but information technology is so unknown, that I had some trouble finding the right IMDB-entry. "Kūchū Buranko" a.k.a "Welcome to Irabu's function" feels like a mix between the "Tatami Galaxy" and "Paranoia Agent". It is a semi episodic anime, with a strange visual design (lots of rotoscoping, crazy colourful) about an eccentric psychiatrist and his patients. What sounds like a boring thought is a wonderful trip with great visual storytelling and relatable characters. However, two modest flaws prevent this evidence from existence higher on the list: 1. I do not think this is a bear witness for anybody. Watch the outset two episodes; if you lot are not hooked by then, it will non get whatever better for you lot. 2. I was a fleck disappointed by the catastrophe. Do not become me incorrect, it is a solid catastrophe. I just felt a petty cheated, because I thought this show was building up to something huge and campy. It keeps on counting the days that pass by, to give you a feeling that something is big coming. I volition not spoil what it was counting down to (I just realized it myself), but I rather hoped for more than.

I was looking for a comfortable anime - 1 that is not too heavy to sit through and only leaves you smiling. Fortunately, I ended up watching this evidence. Equally story, characters and blueprint goes, this anime really is not anything very special; it is the well-explored "summertime that changed my life, power of friendship" kind of show and equally such, most characters and scenarios are actually but stereotypes. We have the bad-mannered protagonist, the energetic kid, the shy child, the nerd and their adventures are the beach-episode, the festival-episode or the fishing episode. You lot get the idea. However, information technology all fits together so very well. Apart from a sometimes absurdly idealistic representation of the countryside and its denizens, the show is actually a perfect example of a light-hearted piece of life one-act. So if that is your thing, definitely check information technology out.

I tin can't actually tell how many people watched it – but considering that only a calendar month after its finale it was completely overshadowed past one punch man, I feel pretty condom putting this show in. At to the lowest degree for the moment. What nosotros have here is a really clever take on the "isolation-whodunit". For the showtime 2 episodes, you might fault this show for just another hero'due south journey – just with half-dozen heroes instead of i. However, just past the third episode the show morphs into a fantasy version of Sherlock Holmes, equally the protagonists try to find out who amid them could be a traitor. With lots of fun characters, a solid plot and its fair share of shonen melodrama, this show is perfect if you crave something short but highly entertaining. The only other thing I could say confronting the evidence is, that I wanted to see more – merely unfortunately, a season two has yet to be confirmed.

However, I meet many people who just heard the name, but never watched the show (or manga) itself. Should that be the case, let me tell yous that this evidence is dumb and the animation horrible. Non all the time of course. My problem is, that there is so much silly and over the top distractions (mainly the humour and some annoying character traits), that sometimes overshadow the good designs and dandy stories. The evidence has a fantastic mysterious atmosphere, particularly with some of the surprisingly mature and vicious episodes. I too similar all of these characters, even though they feel the need to repeatedly fall back into the same one-act-routines. All the same, it is well worth watching through to the stop, especially considering of the more than serious second flavor and the movie.

Ahhh Desert Punk... A series that could accept made the top of this list, if it had just sorted out its act. Let us go the praise out of the way commencement: This is the just anime I know, that does the "magnificent bastard" as the master character correct. Kanta is not a hero - he is greedy, a swine and murderer just not a ane-dimensional villain. He is simply smart enough to recognize that this is the only style he tin can survive the harsh life he is forced to life. Does this alibi his actions? No - only it gives them meaning. Despite being a scrawny guy with seemingly no education, Kanta managed to go the desert's number one compensation hunter. Not thank you to infrequent talent, merely through hard work and the willingness to practice what it takes – fifty-fifty if it falls well outside any moral restraints. The 2d thing the series does correct is world building - it starts off with the familiar post-apocalypse setting and then slowly keeps adding interesting details from there (e.g. *beep* being a valuable resource equally fertilizer). Unfortunately, a weird story-structure, stupid filler episodes and repetitive horn canis familiaris -humor, dominate large parts of this series. To tiptop information technology all of the series ends at a rushed stalemate, leaving united states wanting more once the prove finally got consistently good.

The prove feels like a mix betwixt "The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" and "Detective Conan" with much lower stakes.

Before I watched this show, I accept had heard lots of comments describing "Now and and so, here and there" as the saddest anime ever made. It is non. Sure, many shocking and distressing things happen, but information technology is too exaggerated. I mean we have rape, kid-murder, kid-soldiers and even genocide; which would be effective if they used these events to the story's reward, but they amount to nothing and are just sort of in that location. We too do non know that much nigh this common cold world which makes it especially hard to care for the characters. However, this does not mean I did not bask the prove. Some of the characters are very constructive and although there are some major plot-holes (similar the traveling between worlds, which is never used!) the story is interesting and aye, sometimes sad in a more subtle way.

Yes, I know. I agree that "soul-eater" is not unknown enough for this listing; information technology does accept quite a large fanbase. I just had to put it here as an honourable mention. Why? Because information technology is the one of the all-time Shonen anime I know. Sure; it is sometimes cheesy every bit all hell, simply that is part of its amuse. The manner is like nothing else on this listing, the attention to details given is uncanny at times. The fighting, which is not even the cadre of the show, is smash-bitingly exciting. The characters seem a flake unreal at first, but I grew to like them (except 1, that damn Excalibur). I appreciate that it manages to emulate the goofy fun of Shonen action shows without falling into the trap that plague most of its more pop peers autumn into (Bleach, 1 Peace, Fairy Tail, etc.). Meaning no lack of grapheme arcs, no condition quo formula and thankfully non much power pitter-patter. So all in all: weird story, bizarre settings and bang-up action/animation.

Of course, the generation-spanning ballsy of the Joestar-family is annihilation merely unknown; later on all, it is ane of the longest running manga series out there. All the same, as an anime, this franchise has non drawn much attention to it. Perhaps I was just living nether a rock back in 2012, just I don't think there beingness much talk almost this series and at that place certainly isn't now. Which is a shame, because not just is it a neat adaptation of the original story but as well a fantastic show on its own. If you lot like the 80s-90s anime-aesthetics of straight-faced melodrama mixed with great animation and competent sound design, you should definitely watch this show,

*Edit: At the time of writing (now 2014); I finally run across the series getting some attention from around the net - thanks also to its still entertaining and fifty-fifty more over the superlative sequel "Stardust Crusaders" - merely I'll get out it on this list, but for the folks who might have missed information technology.

**Edit: Ok. Anyone reading this entry in the year 2015 or later must recollect I was living under a stone for putting this show on the list, considering nowadays many people are talking about information technology or sharing pictures of information technology. Simply believe me when I say, that when the first episodes were released not that many people talked about this testify.
