21 Anime Series You Probably Havent But

Definitely Should Watch (Most Likely

Because You Arent A Fan of Anime AndHave A Life)Wait, these lists are still a thing? Whatever.

Also, this one goes from least best up until the best.

Also, I might edit in extra stuff eventually like where you can find each show, if it has a

dub, if the dub sucks ass, and if its a beginner-level show.

Also, Potato.

Also, I use an asterisk for series I havent seen in their entirety.

Lastly, if you really do have a desire to watch one of the below series for whateverreason, I have the dvds for some and for the rest you can find on crunchyroll (I can give

you a guest pass).

1. Black Lagoon*Pure action and fun from start to finish, an amazing english dub, and a boat taking out a

helicopter with torpedos.

If you want, you can go for the short version:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKwaPSkjXp0

2. Btooom!Another action series right off the bat, Btooom! takes a fictional FPS game based

around bombs, has an evil corporation make it into a real life Hunger Games-style

competition on an island, and then a bunch of people fight to the death over resources

and a ticket out. Great action, surprisingly decent strategy, psychological elements,

komodo dragons, and as many cliffhangers as there are episodes. Not recommended

as a first anime, but entertaining nonetheless.

3. Anohana

My first anime. It tries to tug on your heartstrings and such, and it does a great job if you

let it. If you think too hard about how its trying to force emotions out of you, you

probably wont enjoy it. Otherwise, prepare for le feels.

Shoutout to Poppo for being awesome:http://i.imgur.com/CPpV5Bu.jpg

4. Kuroko no Basuke*The only sports anime Ive seen, KnB follows the story of Seirin Highs basket ball team

on their journey to winning stuff and beating the Generation of Miracles, 5 players that

won the championship three years in a row in middle school but all went on to different

high schools. Overall, a very fun show.

5. Soul EaterSome action, lots of comedy, great characters, shitty ending. Not much else to be said.

EXCALBUR:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ8Fun5bd-k

6. Psycho-PassIm a sucker for a good dystopia, and Psycho-Pass largely succeeds at being just that.

With excellent world-building, animation, sound (both dub and soundtrack), and

characters (special shoutout to the main villain), Psycho-Pass main flaws are to be

found story-wise. With one particularly boring arc, a rushed ending (that doesnt do

justice to the epic main villain), and a big reveal that ends up being completely

underwhelming if not corny, Psycho-Pass is far from perfect. Regardless, it is highly

recommended.

7. Higurashi

A murder mystery in a time loop surrounding a mysterious Japanese village thatworships a deity known as Oyashiro-sama. And the murderers are usually cute 9 to 15

year old girls, to make it all the better. Once you get past this premise and the fact that

you need to watch the second season for any answers whatsoever, Higurashi is an

excellent mystery series.

So this is a thing:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=486PwCDokPw

8. Kill la Kill

Watch a few episodes and see if you can stomach the ridiculous levels of fanservice,

Mako, and the Goku Uniform of the Week plot (which doesnt last the entire show). Kill

la Kill is excellent popcorn material as well as a study into the connection between

Fascism and Fashion (the inspiration for the nonsensical and wonderful plot (sort of))

NANI SOREEEE:http://www.myinstants.com/instant/nani-soreeee/

9. Attack on TitanIt gives you a feeling of complete intensity, from start to finish. Anyone, meaning

anyone, can die. Tons of cliffhangers, great animation, lots of dying, 3D Maneuver gear

(the coolest shit ever), oh, and did I mention that people die? Yes. People die when they

are killed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GMrOxRmJXA)

10. FLCLLike Kill la Kill, FLCL is great popcorn material and full of utter nonsense. Except this

takes it 8 steps farther, and in only 6 episodes. Complete insanity animation-wise, and

complete epicness soundtrack-wise. Give it an episode, see if its your thing or not.

Also, it becomes South Park temporarily:

11. Death NoteStrategy, and a hell of a lot of it. A memorable anti-hero as the protagonist, an all-

around amazing antagonist, and unfortunately, a shitty second half. Highly

recommended for starters, despite its flaws.

Attack on Titan + Death Note =https://reader004.{domain}/reader004/html5/0414/5ad0ef35

12. Golden TimeA romance anime that actually focuses on a relationship (rather than the buildup to one)

and characters that arent built upon anime stereotypes. The supernatural elementsdetract from the show as a whole, but otherwise, I dont have any complaints. Very

realistic character-wise. 2D-Kun and Nana-sempai are the best.

EKSHORCISTO:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTzoMGAN8JE

13. Haruhi SuzumiyaA story about God, the female teenager who has a God complex and doesnt know she

is in fact God. Rather, a story about the alien, the esper, the time-traveler, and the

normal guy that are trying to stop her from destroying everything by having

negative/existentialist thoughts. Ultimately worth your time solely because the movie is

fucking amazing. Watch the show in chronological order and skip the middle six

episodes of the endless eight. And if you dont watch it in dub, youre d oing it wrong

because Crispin Freeman.

Papercup is best girlhttp://i.imgur.com/D70hb2m.png

14. The World God Only KnowsNot a beginner-level show. If you have knowledge of VNs and anime archetypes and

harem tropes, this harem deconstruction could be one of your favorite shows ever,

because its fucking amazing. Go subs.

Kanon is best girlhttp://i.imgur.com/JGKZRm3.gif

15. Cowboy BebopOne does not simply not like Cowboy Bebop. It is one of the most popular anime ever in

the West and it is often noted as being an extremely Western show in many ways.

Bebop follows the crew of Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, and Radical Ed as

they try and hunt criminals as bounty hunters in space. It has a little bit of everything.

Excellent soundtrack Jake Bense approves. Start with episode 5 because 1 through 4

suck. Go watch it.

Show us the Doge-Doge, Faye-Faye!http://i.minus.com/iM5oJmqsDAYQa.gif

16. Spice and WolfIf you can stomach a couple dense medieval economics lessons, then everything else

about this show is great. The highlights, in my opinion, would be the excellent character

interactions, the setting, and the soundtrack that suits the show to a T. Also, Holo is

pretty great. Go dub.

Stupid Potato!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mwG6b1N7Lc&feature=youtu.be&t=31s

17. Welcome to the N.H.KA show about depression and loneliness, that pretty much comes to the conclusion that

life is meaningless. A must-watch show.

18. ClannadThe first season and even the beginning of the second season are kinda meh. Then shit

goes down. Cute girls with giant eyes. That is all, now go and watch it. Unless you dont

think Kyou is best girl, in which case you are unworthy. Sunohara is a player:http://i.imgur.com/o1rD2uQ.jpg

19. FateAnd by Fate, I mean Fate Zero (unless you are reading this in fall of 2014 or later, in

which case both F/Z and Fate Stay Night). A battle between 7 magi called Masters, and

their 7 familiars (who are mythological or historical figures of massive badassery) called

Servants, in a fight for the Holy Grail, the omnipotent granter of one wish. The Holy Grail

War, which happens approximately every 60 years (although these 2 are conveniently

placed apart by only 10 years). Awesome everything in every regard. The only problems

with Fate Zero are its overly long first episode full of nothing but exposition, and its

ending which serves more as a preparation for FSN than a conclusion to its own story.

The new Fate Stay Night Remake, coming this fall, is going to be amazing because I

say so. Avoid the old FSN anime and movie at all costs. Go watch it. Like right now.

Seriously. Do it.

R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-Rejoice, Shirou Emiya. Your wish will finally come true.

20. Baccano!A story of immortal gangsters in three different timelines told completely out of order.

Need I say more? Yes? Okay, well theres excellent animation, a great soundtrack,

great characters, oh who am I kidding, theres immortal gangsters, you should already

be hooked. Do everything in your power to keep the story straight in your head, but

otherwise, prepare for one of the greatest shows of all time.

Ive only just completed it, so I dont have it as #1 because I havent got all of my

thoughts together on it yet. Its definitely a strong contender for my favorite of all time.

An all-too-appropriate soundbyte to start it off:http://www.myinstants.com/instant/let-him/

21. Tengen Toppa Gurren LagannWacky animation, a shitty english rap randomly inserted into half of the pieces on the

soundtrack, mecha battles increasing 10-fold in size every episode, the most badass

character in all of anime, unnecessary fanservice, mechas that toss galaxies around, a

message of hope for humanity, what doesnt this show have? This show is stupid and it

knows it, it embraces it, and it grows into the most loveable stupid imaginable. Thats

about all there is to it.

Honorable Mentions

Evangelion: Just too weird for me to suggest here, even if I think its great.

Kanon 2006: Ending wasntgood enough to justify putting it here. Also, Clannad does

everything it does, only better.

Watamote: Not for everybody, although I loved it.

Baka and Test: Too weird for some.

Dishonorable Mentions:The Higurashi OVAs: Theyre a good laugh, I guess, but theyre so unrelated to the

main series that they make the entire thing look bad.

School Days: Because School Days.

Lovely Complex: It sucks real hard bro.

Sankarea: Why is this a thing?
