Cyberpunk: Edgerunners<\/a> managed to pack so much emotion into the finale that I had to force myself not to cry.”<\/p>\n 6.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m gonna go off on a different tangent and say that Goblin Slayer shattered me. To this day, I still can\u2019t watch the first few minutes of the first episode.”<\/p>\n
7.<\/p>\n
It took me almost three years to catch up with both the anime and the manga, and I’m now a week-to-week watcher\/reader. Oda\u2019s level of foreshadowing is incredible, and One Piece is an absolute masterclass in world-building.”<\/p>\n
8.<\/p>\n
“The OG \u2014 Astro Boy (Mighty Atom) in the 80s.”<\/p>\n
9.<\/p>\n
“Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is amazing and deserves all the praise it gets.”<\/p>\n
10.<\/p>\n
“The 1997 run of Berserk made me a real anime fan. I had watched a few like Pok\u00e9mon and Inuyasha, but it wasn’t until Berserk that I took anime seriously. Berserk showed me that there are dark stories for adults and that anime wasn’t just for kids.”<\/p>\n
11.<\/p>\n
“For me, it was a movie called Ninja Scroll, followed by a more intense one called Bezerker, if I remember correctly.”<\/p>\n
12.<\/p>\n
“Yu Yu Hakusho is great fun. It has the ability to be both funny and poignant while serving up easily digestible 30-minute episodes. It’s a great series (and a good look at ’90s culture)!”<\/p>\n
13.<\/p>\n
“1989’s Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland was one of the first anime movies (although based on an American comic strip) to take my breath away as a little kid.”<\/p>\n
14.<\/p>\n
“My Hero Academia is a show that isn\u2019t just another generic superhero story, as it deconstructs Western superhero comics while adding a fresh and fun spin to those tropes.”<\/p>\n
15.<\/p>\n
“I like the whole anti-corporate themes and anti-capitalist themes of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead.”<\/p>\n
16.<\/p>\n
“Death Parade is a true psychological journey full of emotion. It really made me think, and I just had to sit there and process everything that happened.”<\/p>\n
17.<\/p>\n
“Jujutsu Kaisen was incredibly fun, as well as sad and heartfelt. It talks about morality, fate, and friendship in a way that I haven\u2019t seen before. Even if the characters have powers, that doesn\u2019t make them any less relatable and dynamic. The animation as well \u2014 chef’s kiss.”<\/p>\n
18.<\/p>\n
“Yuri!!! On Ice is such a cute show, I love all the characters and their development, and Victor and Yuri are just the cutest!”<\/p>\n
19.<\/p>\n
“Blue Lock is so cool. There were several moments that chilled me to the core! It\u2019s incredibly different than most sports anime, and it\u2019s truly a thrilling watch.”<\/p>\n
20.<\/p>\n
“Spy x Family is fucking amazing. It\u2019s wholesome enough that I\u2019m not always crying like when I watch Jujutsu Kaisen, but still enough action to keep me around.”<\/p>\n
21.<\/p>\n
“I thought volleyball was boring until I watched Haikyu!! The characters and their development are amazing, the matches were thrilling, the animation was fantastic, and it was a hilarious and emotional experience! I remember holding my breath, on the edge of my seat as I watched them play.”<\/p>\n
22.<\/p>\n
“The Disastrous Life of Saiki K was the first anime I watched, and it made me a fan. I love the characters and how wild it is. I was laughing the whole way through.”<\/p>\n
23.<\/p>\n
“Given does such a good job at portraying LGBTQ characters. Mafayu and Uenoyama\u2019s relationship was amazing, and I loved all of the characters. It managed to make me burst out laughing and make me sob; It\u2019s an amazing ride.”<\/p>\n
24.<\/p>\n
“One that has stuck with me and continues to leave an impact is Assassination Classroom. I\u2019d heard good things about it before, but I didn\u2019t start watching it until I saw it aired on Toonami about four years ago.”<\/p>\n
