Dragonar Academy is a bad quality anime series with poor writing, direction, and animation. Anime fans should consider this a series worth skipping.

It’s about a group of young friends who drift apart after the tragic accident claims the life of their friend Menma.

Set in Japan during the Taisho period (early 1900s), Demon Slayer tells the story of Tanjiro, a young man set on revenge against a demon who massacred his family and left his younger sister Nezuko a demon herself.

Demon Slayer’s most dramatic scenes merge all aspects - music, animation, story - into a beautiful symphony of emotional spectacle, and the grandeur simply never gets old.

But, partly as a result of being either the first or among the first to use the big-eyed style, Tezuka Osamu is generally considered the “father” of anime. He started creating manga in 1947, which were extremely popular, and at the beginning of 1963, Tetsuwan Atomy (Astro Boy) began airing. That is generally considered the first anime-style animated production. Animation had been produced in Japan as early as 1917, but the style was generally different from what is now considered anime.
When it comes to well-known animated series, the best have around 250 episodes in their vault. That’s not always the case for anime, where some series can have 20 to 30 episodes, while veteran ones can go up to 900 episodes in total.

Set in 2071, Bebop imagines a dystopian future where Earth has been irrevocably damaged due to the creation of a stargate, forcing humans to evacuate the planet and create colonies across the solar system. The result is a galaxy of lawlessness, where crime lords rule and cops pay bounty hunters to handle some of the grunt work. The show ultimately features so many influences and nods to other famous works it’s almost impossible to keep track. That’s Cowboy Bebop to you.#N#Although it covers a wide range of genres throughout its run, Cowboy Bebop draws most heavily from sci-fi, western, and noir, and its most recurring thematic focal points include adult existential ennui, loneliness, and the difficulties of trying to escape one’s past.#N#Cowboy Bebop became a critical and commercial success both in Japanese and North American markets, garnering several major anime and sci-fi awards upon its release, and received unanimous praise for its style, characters, story, voice acting, animation, and soundtrack. In the years since its release, critics have hailed Cowboy Bebop as a masterpiece and frequently cite it as one of the greatest anime titles of all time. Credited with helping to introduce anime to a new wave of Western viewers in the early 2000s, Cowboy Bebop has been labelled a gateway series for the medium as a whole.
An anime based on Tite Kubo’s manga of the same name, Bleach follows the adventures of Ichigo Kurosaki after he obtains the powers of a Soul Reaper - a death personification similar to the Grim Reaper - from another Soul Reaper, Rukia Kuchiki.#N#Ichigo’s newfound powers force him to take on the duties of defending humans from evil spirits and guiding departed souls to the afterlife. The anime adaptation includes original storylines not found in the manga with repeated appearances and stories containing these original characters.
