But it also felt a little more sinister. After all, it featured exorcists risking their lives to liberate souls imprisoned by the Millennium Earl. So its episodes often included serious themes like death and grief, but presented in a teen-friendly manner. Think of this as both a magical action-adventure and a revenge story: Princess Elizabeth is on a quest to find the Seven Deadly Sins knights who once led to contention in the kingdom to stop the tyrannical rule of the Holy Knights.
But it does have its genuinely electrifying moments. Sure, it sounds basic at first. A guy and his best friend go on a magical journey to find answers and possibly save the world. For one, the first season veered off from the source material and opted for an anime-original ending. I watched it and had no idea what I was in for. Which I guess was also the case for Oz Vessalius, whose coming-of-age ceremony eventually led to terror and an encounter with a wicked girl who transforms into a scythe-wielding giant rabbit.
Like the best sports anime out there, Major is a mix of passionate competition and life outside the field — giving viewers the privilege of seeing Gorou grow from an aspiring kid to a full-fledged professional player. Each afternoon, Slam Dunk would air in one of the biggest local TV networks. And millions would watch Sakuragi and the gang. Still, I got to hand it to Toei Animation.
The way this series drags out its clutch moments is pretty much a meme these days. But fans will always cherish the colorful basketball team of Shohoku High. Before Slam Dunk became the king of afternoon anime shows where I live, it was Yu Yu Hakusho that led to arguments between kids and their parents on who should have the remote control. Amusingly called Ghost Fighter in my country, this episode shounen is a Studio Pierrot masterpiece. Airing from to and with an insane number of reruns , Yu Yu Hakusho proved that you can combine arduous fighting competitions with supernatural powers, beasts, and spirits, and death gods.
The series was so beloved during release that local cinemas were packed with families eager to catch its movie. Also, a quick reminder that it won the Anime Grand Prix for two consecutive years in and Did I expect Goku and Vegeta to further surpass their already overpowered states and have electric blue hair?
Yes, Shinichi Kudo does occasionally solve cases that would have otherwise led to disasters especially in the movies that come out every year. But its scale in setting and story is relatively small.
As long as it has strong well-paid writers, fans can expect more thrilling mysteries even if they know that Shinichi will solve the case in the nick of time. The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. But its release format was noteworthy. Which is the same as its equally popular second season. Other than that, I have nothing but praise for Noragami — including its episode second season. As a Studio Bones production , Noragami is top-tier, both in its visuals and sound.
Nifty right? Out of all the isekai series saturating the market ever since the debut of Sword Art Online, this has been a rare refreshing take on that whole genre.
Instead of being a generic male novice, this sees the main character live his new life as a slime — a cute, small slime. With a rich and vivid fantasy world, plus a lighthearted vibe that sometimes makes me think of KonoSuba , the anime is such a good relaxer after a long day. Would you believe me if I told you this series had characters named Alibaba, Aladdin, Sinbad, and Jafar? And I can actually see it lasting forever like Detective Conan and Pokemon if it wanted.
As my top-rated sports shounen anime, Haikyuu!! Elitists might scoff at new anime fans for not knowing who Vash the Stampede is. Naruto is filled with fillers, and it definitely has moments of uninspired animation. ORG From bestanime. One Piece Here we are: the shounen endgame boss.

It's gory, violent and mature as hell, but it warrants a peek into if you need something with a little more edge. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion It's not rare to find an ambitious anime where the show's creators try to tackle multiple themes and issues only to fail — or sometimes even crash and burn.
