Made in Abyss: Retsujitsu no Ougonkyou

Perhaps its Voice Acting quality, Animation, additional OST or Direction, these series are on-par or go above and beyond at elevating the manga's content.

Most unic anime form 2020s

Anime that have important characters that are monstrous or that differ from a regular human.

Anime that contain mature themes and elements, complemented by fantastical elements. Typically action-packed and contains a deep plot

*Addition: CASTLEVANIA (available on Netflix). Not an anime but it's one of the best dark fantasy cartoons)*

Some anime which may have an unexpected or emotional scene to it that may make you want to cry or feel empty inside. This list includes less romantic (although there still are some), but more of a platonic love tearjerkers as a whole. This list includes no side stories.

Every anime covered on the Castaway Anime podcast, sans seasonal impressions.

Billy's first RPG or DnD campaign. highschool, Japan but with 1 type of monster and some humans that fight them....

None of these will always make for a bad show, they aren't even necessarily a bad setting.

But even the best of them, may not be as interesting due to the sheer number of times we have seen similar settings play out.

So come with me, and I'll show you some shows or movies that have a one of a kind setting that chances are you have never seen before.

Note: shows like ID:invaded are here because the characters go to many unique settings despite the main main setting not being that special, in this case, the unique stuff are the ID.

You ever hear a cover is not the book? Where here’s a list where the anime cover in MAL doesn’t tell us everything about the series and it’s horrifying contents.

These anime were nominated for Best Score in the Crunchyroll Anime Awards. Note that the first Crunchyroll awards and third Crunchyroll Awards did not have this category.

Anime publicly reviewed by Hideo Kojima.

These anime have strong & dark depictions of suffering, mental illness, trauma violence, sex and various sociopolitical and economic problems in a grounded way and without sugarcoating it, although in fiction it is often impossible to completely avoid the distorting lense of epicness or melodrama when portraying reality.

When I say that these shows portray reality, I don't mean to say that they are necessarily based in material reality, as some are sci-fi or fantasy. What I mean, is that these shows portray the bleak and harrowing aspects of human condition without pulling any punches, and without romanticizing it (to some extent).

These shows often have a positive and hopeful overall message and/or ending sometimes, so I wouldn't call this a list of "depressing" shows. However, they have in common that they revolve around brutal and mature depictions of psychological, physical and spiritual pain of individuals and society, while also having a haunting and opressive feel to them.

Worldbuilding is "the art of creating a new fictional world". Not only for characters to interact with each other, but to interact with everything around them. Imagine its history, culture and mores of your imaginary land, and how characters interact with different religious, ethnic groups, culture, landscape, and so on.

Thats the magic of worldbuilding.
