Puella Magi Madoka Magica is the best magical girl anime because kids, or at least young teens, can enjoy it, but it's mature enough to appeal to a wider audience. It's solidly rooted in the magical girl genre, but with a darker approach and subversion of many genre tropes.
Most anime horror series are referred to as horror because of the monsters, like High School of the Dead. These series tend to be light on what western audiences think of as horror. Still, When They Cry straddles the line.
The reason Fullmetal Alchemist is the best fantasy anime of all time is that it paints a fully realized, unique world with internally consistent rules that have real consequences. Building on that foundation, it delivers a story about two brothers that's as grounded as the setting is fantastic.
Anime is known for mixing genres, which is how you get shows like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. While Haruhi is a slice-of-life anime on a superficial level, there's a lot more weirdness going on there. The show elevates itself beyond genre limitations, with elements of mystery and science fiction.
Without Dragon Ball, the fighting anime genre as we know it today probably wouldn't exist.
FLCL gets the nod because it's short, sweet, visually beautiful, and somehow extremely relatable. The series only got six episodes, but that plays to its benefit. Each episode is jam-packed with no sagging in the middle.
Anime has a reputation for being kid stuff, because of the connection between animation and kids cartoons in the West. The truth is that most anime isn't for kids, as evidenced by all the TV-14, TV-MA, and R ratings on this list. If you're looking for a great anime kids movie, the best place to start is Studio Ghibli.
But 3-gatsu no Lion is one of those rare anime that face up to difficult emotions like this, and that makes it an absolute must-watch. It tells the story of the 17 year-old Rei Kiriyama, an elite shogi player who buckles under the weight of expectations fellow top players and his foster family place on him.
Hirotaka and Narumi are two office workers who used to go to the same middle school together. So far so normal. But they actually have something else in common – they both are terrible nerds, to the point it’s made it impossible for them to enter a lasting relationship, because their partners just wouldn’t understand. Once Narumi and Hirotaka discovers this about each other, they decide to date on the spot. After all, it sounds quite efficient to have someone who will play MMOs with you, who will make sure you won’t miss limited edition merchandise and who you can discuss your favourite anime with. But is that all it takes to date?

Cowboy Bebop gets silly and weird on occasion, but is overall more adult than most anime series, and more subtle with its themes than Japanese writers tend to be. There's a good reason it's still beloved enough to get a live action Netflix adaptation more than 20 years after it aired.
And it probably looks like no anime you've ever seen. Director Masaaki Yuasa retained the art style of the manga, by acclaimed artist Taiyō Matsumoto, characters rough and exaggerated, scenes cut up into panels just like a comic.
It’s almost impossible to have so much as a passing interesting in anime and not come across One Piece. It’s based on the bestselling manga of all time worldwide, it’s been around for decades and it’s not even finished. All in all it's a pretty daunting affair, but also a testament to author Eiichiro Oda’s creation.
Whether it’s magical fruit that gives superpowers, merfolk or world-spanning war, One Piece truly has it all, and just by looking at it art of Luffy and his friends, you wouldn’t fathom the depth One Piece hides. Yes, it is a lot to get into in 2021, but this show is super popular for more than one good reason.
If you’re looking for some quality comedy to perk up your day, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. is arguably one of the funniest anime on Netflix with its ridiculously quirky characters and unreal predicaments that surround a psychic teenager.
It'll be released on July 22.
The 13-episode series is also available on Netflix along with an OVA special. A spinoff film, Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll, is also streaming on Netflix. Available subbed and dubbed | Watch Violet Evergarden on Netflix.
Forget what you know about magical girls, this is one great anime that subverts expectations to tell its engrossing story.
Seasons 4 and 5 arrived on April 21, 2020 -- called The Assault and The Bount. There’s a total of 16 seasons, with Season 17 coming this year, so hopefully by the time of the release of the new season we’ll have 1 - 16 on Netflix. But for now, you can catch seasons 1 - 5 on Netflix.

Baki. Baki: Season 2, The Great Raitai Tournament Saga, arrived on Netflix in 2020 after Parts 1 and 2 hit us back in 2018. Judging from the end theme video released by Netflix, it looks like Baki and Mohammad Alai Jr. will be training hard, and simping hard over Kozue Matsumoto.

If you want to know what was the most-watched anime for Japanese people in Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall 2021 check out:
Beastars tells the story of a wolf who wants to have sex with a rabbit, but worries he will devour said rabbit. I think it’s a metaphor for puberty. Though it could be a cringey, misguided exploration of race. Maybe it’s holding a magnifying glass to sexual violence on campus.
Fruits Basket lures viewers in with the promise of a cute story about a family that turns into animals when they’re hugged, then absolutely disarms with boatloads of generational trauma.
Horimiya, a show whose namesake comes from combining the names of its two central love interests, Kyouko Hori and Izumi Miyamura, is about as darling as you’d expect a show named after its two lovers to be.
Jujutsu Kaisen was the breakout anime success of 2020 and continued strong in 2021. The story follows the young Yuji Itadori, a good-hearted school boy who one day eats an actual finger, which served as a vessel for a powerful demon called Sukuna.
Possibly dubbed the most comfy anime in the last decade, Laid-back Camp ’s second season delivers as a perfect follow up to its first. Rin still loves camping by herself, but she slowly continues to open up to her new gang of friends at her school’s camping club.
The second season of Megalobox is a far darker, somber, and more melancholic underdog story than the devil may care attitude of the first season.
Studio Bones’ breakout superhero action drama returned for its fifth season as the students of UA High school were thrust into ever more precarious danger with greater stakes.
Take Erased and add in delinquent gang culture and the result is Tokyo Revengers. The main character is Takemichi Hanagaki, who had a pretty sweet life in middle school... but as an adult finds everything is pretty miserable for him.
Yes, Detective Conan is still airing all these decades later. Surprisingly, at over a thousand episodes long, Conan continues to work on the case to shut down the most dangerous criminal organization in Japan.
Megalo Box was one of the most popular series of 2018, so it’s no surprise its sequel is also a major hit. The first series saw Gearless Joe rise to become the top champion of Megalonia, something of a “happy” ending for the character.
