Interest Stacks

One of the greatest shōnen anime of all time. It's honestly quite hard to point out anything negative about this show.

While it has a slow start, it quickly improves. One of the finest anime ever, with a fantastic cast and an amazing time travel narrative.

"Steins;Gate" follows a self-proclaimed mad scientist, Rintarou Okabe, as he attempts to create a machine that can send emails to the past and future. Okabe is forced to shoulder the burdens of holding the key to the realm of time after stumbling upon an unexpected success. Adapted from the critically acclaimed visual novel "Steps;Gate," the game takes Okabe through the depths of scientific theory and practicality.

The finest shounen anime ever produced. It disrupts the conventional shounen troupes and produces something genuinely distinctive.

“Gon Freecss is determined to become the best Hunter possible in hopes of finding his father, who was a Hunter himself and had long ago abandoned his young son. Gon soon realizes the path to achieving his goals is far more challenging than he could have ever imagined. Throughout their journey, Gon and his friends embark on an adventure that puts them through many hardships and struggles. They will meet a plethora of monsters, creatures, and characters while learning what being a Hunter truly means.

I really loved this movie, not only for the incredible and grounded story, but the music, animation, and direction.

The story follows a boy who bullies a girl who can't hear and is forced to leave school because of his cruel behavior. Can Shoya make up for his past mistakes, or is it too late?

The best humour, the best parodies, the best characters.

After a one-year hiatus, Shinpachi Shimura returns to Edo to find his fellow Yorozuya members have become completely different characters. His sister Otae has married the Shinsengumi chief and shameless stalker Isao Kondou and is pregnant with their first child. With even more dirty jokes, tongue-in-cheek parodies, and shameless references, Gintama' follows the team through more of their misadventures in the world of Edo.

Absolutely stunning. The plot was really emotional, the music was outstanding, and the animation was by far the greatest art I have ever seen. Simply go see it!

From director Makoto Shinkai comes a beautiful masterpiece about time, the thread of fate, and the hearts of two young souls. High schoolers Mitsuha and Taki are complete strangers living separate lives, but one night they switch bodies. They build a connection and communicate by leaving notes, messages, and more importantly, an imprint. Is their bond strong enough to face the cruel irony of time? Or is their meeting nothing more than a wish upon the stars?

Without a doubt, the best psychological crime show. Monster maintains its grip throughout. a true work of storytelling art.

Dr. Kenzou Tenma is a renowned brain surgeon of Japanese descent working in Europe. One night he faces a moral dilemma over whether to save the life of a small boy or that of the town's mayor. His morals force him to perform the surgery on the boy, saving his life and forfeiting the mayor's. When a series of murders occur in the surgeon's vicinity, all of the evidence points to the boy he saved. The fate of the world may be intertwined with the child.

Classic ghibli film that lives up to its hype. Colourful visuals and an interesting story and characters. More than meets the eye.

10-year-old Chihiro Ogino discovers an abandoned amusement park on the way to her new house. Cautiously venturing inside, she realizes that there is more to this place than meets the eye. Ghostly apparitions and food that turns her parents into pigs are just the start. Now trapped, she must summon the courage to live and work amongst spirits, with the help of the enigmatic Haku.

An unmistakable masterpiece. Blending many styles and genres while staying true to its own rich story and characters.

Cowboy Bebop is a space Western classic and an homage to the smooth and improvised music it is named after. In the year 2071, humanity has colonized several of the planets and moons of the solar system leaving the now uninhabitable surface of planet Earth behind. The Inter Solar System Police attempts to keep peace in the galaxy, aided in part by outlaw bounty hunters, referred to as "Cowboys".

Vinland Saga, on the surface, is a story of revenge. Deeper is a lesson on inner peace, healing and the consequences revenge can bring.

As a child, Thorfinn sat at the feet of the great Leif Ericson and thrilled to wild tales of a land far to the west.

Lelouch Lamperouge finds himself caught in a crossfire between the two nations' armed forces. He is able to escape, however, thanks to the timely appearance of a mysterious girl named C.C., who bestows upon him Geass, the "Power of Kings".

A show that has gone on far too long and yet despite the distance we have traveled, it feels like we have gone nowhere.

Monkey D. Luffy is a 17-year-old boy who defies your standard definition of a pirate. Rather than the popular persona of a wicked, toothless pirate, his reason for being a pirate is one of pure wonder. He and his crew travel across the Grand Line, experiencing crazy adventures, battling strong enemies, all in order to reach the most coveted of all fortunes—One Piece.

Beautiful and haunting, Mushishi is something I wouldn't hesitate to call a masterpiece. The anime is a perfect adaptation of the manga.

"Mushi": the most basic forms of life in the world. They exist without any goals or purposes aside from simply "being". Mushi can exist in countless forms and are capable of mimicking things from the natural world such as plants, diseases, and even phenomena like rainbows. Detailed information on Mushi is scarce because the majority of humans are unaware of their existence.

The animation, the art, the music, the characters are all really well done. My god.

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso tells the story of Kousei Arima, who for two years after his mother's passing cannot hear the sound of his own piano. But everything changes when he meets Kaori Miyazono, a stunning violinist who shakes up his life and inspires him to once again face music.

A show that tells you that anyone has the potential of becoming anything. The truthful words come from the deepest parts of the human soul.

Simon and Kamina are born and raised in a deep, underground village, hidden from the fabled surface. One day while excavating the earth, Simon stumbles upon a mysterious object that turns out to be the ignition key to an ancient artifact of war. Soon, they join the fight against the "Beastmen," humanoid creatures that terrorize the remnants of humanity in powerful robots called "Gunmen".

Defies your morals and enables deep discussions with yourself and others. It truly is a great show. With great power comes great evil.

High school student and prodigy Light Yagami stumbles upon the Death Note and tests it on a criminal. Light is greatly surprised and quickly recognizes how devastating the power that has fallen into his hands could be. With this divine capability, Light decides to extinguish all criminals in order to build a new world where crime does not exist.

Explores ideas around ambition, talent/hardwork, the pressure of success and the pain of failure, all expressed through complex characters.

"The hero comes, the hero comes, the hero comes. Chant these words in your mind, and surely I'll come to you..."
The stonyfaced, taciturn table tennis champion Makoto Tsukimo, ironically known to most as "Smile," chants these words to himself both in the midst of psychologically and physically grueling table tennis matches and in other stressful situations of his life. He and his almost unbearably chipper companion, Yukata Hoshino (nicknamed Peco), have grown up playing table tennis nearly every day, but at this point in their lives, Smile suffers from a lack of ambition even as his friend aims to be the best table tennis player in Japan. The two have nonetheless stuck together and continue to enter tournaments, with Smile annoying both his coach and his opponents with his glib, apathetic attitude.

I really like how this show handled the subject of death.

A Japanese boy comes across a book in a hospital waiting room that contains the words: "Living with Dying". He soon discovers that it is a diary kept by his classmate, Sakura Yamauchi. She reveals that she is secretly suffering from a pancreatic illness and only has a limited time left. As her free spirit and unpredictable actions throw him for a loop, his heart begins to gradually change.

Really good anime if you can get past its age. The manga actually inspired a whole generation of young people in Asia to play basketball.

Hanamichi Sakuragi is infamous for this temper, massive height, and fire-red hair. In an attempt to impress Haruko, he makes the leap, but overshoots, instead slamming his head straight into the blackboard. When Haruko informs the basketball team's captain of Hanamichi's near-inhuman physical capabilities, he slowly finds himself drawn into the camaraderie and competition of the sport he had previously held resentment for.

This is a fantastic show with lots of action and some scary stuff. You just can't tell who is secure. It could be interesting to show to non-anime fans.

Shingeki no Kyojin is based on Hajime Isayama's award-winning manga. The titans are man-eating abominations that live inside enormous concentric walls. Eren and his friends race to discover a way of defeating them before the last walls are breached.

Plot is simple and characters can be really annoying but Ufotable did a great job with the visual aspects and that's all they could do.

Tanjiro finds his family slaughtered by a demon, and his younger sister Nezuko has been transformed into a demon herself. The boy decides to become a "demon slayer" so that he can turn his sister back into a human, and kill the demon that massacred his family.

1.Director is Satoshi Kon.
2.Hollywood movie Black Swan had many refernces from this movie(Perfect Blue).

Mima Kirigoe's life begins to fall apart when she lands a role in a sexually charged murder mystery show. Reality and hallucinations merge into a terrifying netherworld where innocence is lost and dreams become nightmares.

A delightfully witty satire of the shounen genre as a whole.

One Punch Man is an action-comedy that follows an eccentric individual who longs to fight strong enemies. In order to pursue his childhood dream, he trained relentlessly for three years and lost all of his hair in the process. Saitama is incredibly powerful, so much so that no enemy is able to defeat him in battle. Genos, a 19-year-old cyborg, asks to join the Hero Association in order to become certified heroes that will be recognized for their positive contributions to society.

Absolutely emotionally crushing tale of two children living in a post-war Japan trying to survive despite the viewer knowing how it all ends.

Hotaru no Haka, also known as Grave of the Fireflies, is the story about Seita and his sister Setsuko, two Japanese youngsters whose lives are shattered by the horrific war. They had lost their mother, their house, and the hope of a bright future all as a result of a single air raid. Now orphaned and homeless, they wander the countryside, plagued by malnutrition and sickness.

I like the life struggles the story showed throughout the series. A story of friendship and a man's influence shown through the six guys.

The story follows six newly captured criminal youngsters who are sent to a reformatory. However the inside world of said reformatory is not quite that kind as they are treated roughly as the lowest of lifeforms, but even in this kind of place there is a light of hope.

A fantastic series with compelling characters and storylines. Everyone has aspirations and objectives; there are no cardboard villains.

Haikyuu!! is an exhilarating and emotional sports comedy following two determined athletes(Hinata and Kageyama) as they attempt to patch a heated rivalry in order to make their high school volleyball team the best in Japan. The series is based on Haruichi Furudate's popular shounen manga of the same name.

The first big hit for Yoshihiro Togashi(creator of HxH). A battle shonen for the ages.

This story begins with 14-year-old Urameshi Yusuke, a hapless street urchin that, defying his generally poor character, dies while jumping in the path of a speeding car to save the life of a young boy. As a consequence of this good deed, Yusuke is given the opportunity to return to life and assume the role of Spirit Detective, an agent of the spiritual world that works to maintain the boundary between the world of humans and the world of demons. Along with his once rival Kuwabara and the two reformed demons Kurama and Hiei, Yusuke journeys into the heart of the demon world to enforce the law of the spirits.

Two narcissists try to get the other to confess their love. Then there's Chika and Ishigami and don't forget the narrator!

Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya lead the illustrious Shuchiin Academy as near equals. With pride and arrogance in ample supply, the only logical move is to trick the other into instigating a date. Who will come out on top in this psychological war where the first move is the only one that matters?

The source material that invented half the isekai tropes that exist today finally has its anime and it looks incredible!

Reincarnated in a new world as an infant, Rudy will seize every opportunity to live the life he's always wanted. Armed with new friends and newly acquired magical abilities, he's embarking on an epic adventure.

What makes a human? What makes a monster? Each of us have a bit of both in us and it's up to you to decide which one you want to be.

Shinichi Izumi is a high school student who falls victim to alien parasites that take over his brain. Unable to relocate, the parasite, now named Migi, has no choice but to rely on Shinichi in order to stay alive. The pair are forced into an uneasy coexistence and must defend themselves from hostile parasites that hope to eradicate their species.

Evangelion is essential pop culture. You could watch the reboot movies but I think the show is great. The OP is always stuck in my head.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is the story of Shinji Ikari, a 14-year-old boy who must become a pilot of Evangelion Unit-01 with the fate of mankind on his shoulders. Written by Hideaki Anno, this is a heroic tale of a young boy who will become a legend. As this psychological drama unfolds, ancient secrets beneath the big picture begin to bubble to the surface.

If you could rewind back your life and do it again, what would you do different?

A subtle mystery thriller that does not aim to be super complex, but rather emotionally gripping.

Satoru Fujinuma is a former manga artist who now works at a part-time job delivering pizzas. When his mother is suddenly killed one night, the stress of her death causes him to go back in time 18 years. Now given a second chance in life, Satoru vows to save his mother's life, and the lives of three of his former classmates that were killed that March of 1988 as well.

Intriguing, intense, exciting. The workings of a budding band. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Tanaka Yukio, better known by his nickname Koyuki, is a 14-year-old who feels disconnected from life in general. Through the act of saving a mismatched dog, he meets guitarist Minami Ryuusuke, and becomes involved in Ryuusukau's new band BECK. His life starts to change as the band struggles toward fame.

This anime is said to be very scientifically accurate. It's also a fantastic story with strong characters about living in space and collectinng space debris.

Planetes is an unconventional sci-fi series that portrays the vastness of space as a backdrop for the personal lives of ordinary people. Ai Tanabe, an upbeat woman whose interests lie in the cosmos, joins Technora Corporation as a member of their Debris Section. The series was winner of the Seiun Award in 2005.

Subaru Natsuki was a shut-in who spent his days playing games and buying food at convenience stores. One night, he is transported to a fantasy world where he meets an elf-girl named Satella. Subaru learns he has an ability called Return by Death, allowing him to rewind time when he dies.

Great show full of adventure and action, episodic structure that got overlooked in favor of Cowboy Bebop. It's on the same level and has its own Charms. Peace and Love!

Vash the Stampede is a merciless villain who lays waste to all those that oppose him and flattens entire cities for fun. He leaves a trail of death and destruction wherever he goes, and anyone can count themselves dead if they so much as make eye contact with him. With his crazy doughnut obsession and buffoonish attitude in tow, Vash traverses the wasteland of the planet Gunsmoke. His past will be unraveled and his morality and principles pushed to the breaking point.

You might as well just rewatch Naruto. :p

In a world where magic is everything, Asta and Yuno are both found abandoned at a church on the same day. While Yuno is gifted with exceptional magical powers, Asta is the only one in this world without any. At the age of fifteen, both receive grimoires, magic books that amplify their holder's magic. Asta's is a rare Grimoire of Anti-Magic that negates and repels his opponent's spells. Being opposite but good rivals, Yuno and Asta are ready for the hardest of challenges to achieve their common dream: to be the Wizard King. Giving up is never an option!

Fantastic parody of isekai and fantasy RPG stories featuring plenty of quirky characters with great voice acting and expressive animation.

After dying a laughable and pathetic death on his way back from buying a game, Kazuma Satou finds himself sitting before a beautiful but obnoxious goddess named Aqua. She provides the NEET with two options: continue on to heaven or reincarnate in every gamer's dream. Living in such a world is far different from how it plays out in a video game.

What else do you need in an anime like this? Video games, fantasy, amazing characters and comedy you don't find very often. Simply awesome!

The world of Sora (age 18) and his sister Shiro (age 11) is limited to the room where they play online games. (They have a reputation as an unbeatable "player" in that community, and are only known as "Blank" because they never fill in their names.) You might wonder how they are meeting the material needs of human existence, but such ponderings are shortly made moot, for after winning a chess match with another mysterious gamer, they are whisked into the world of Disboard by a self-proclaimed god named Tet. Their gaming talents are actually useful in Disboard, a world where all disputes are settled by games, and where humans are only one of 16 races, and have been (literally) losing ground to those other races, due to the ability of the other races to use magic. Blank might be just who the humans need to recover what they've lost, and maybe even achieve dominance in this world.

Tomoya Okazaki is a third-year high school student who doesn't like school and lives with his father (whom he fights with often, and is responsible for paralyzing once of his arms). One morning on his way to school he meets a girl named Nagisa Furukawa. Out for a year due to being sick, she feels awkward and alone at school as her friends have since moved on. Over time she opens up to Tomoya and finds herself spending more time with him, changing him in the process.

Skipping naruto fillers is my ninja way

Naruto Uzumaki was born after a huge demon known as the Kyuubi, the Nine-Tailed Fox, attacked Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf Village, and wreaked havoc on the village. The leader of the village, the Fourth Hokage, sacrificed his life and sealed the monstrous beast inside the newborn boy, Naruto, to stop its rampage. Now, he struggles to find his place in the village while his burning desire to become the Hokage leads him to some great new friends and deadly foes.

A low-rent god accompanied by a girl in limbo and his spirit weapon fight off spirits and gods alike, as he escapes his past to become a legitimate god.

Proves that execution is more important than original ideas.

Becoming a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? U.A. High's Hero Program of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless? Middle school student Izuku Midoriya wants to be a hero more than anything, but he hasn't got an ounce of power in him.

Meme-worthy material, ridiculous yet fabulous posing, and memorable, yet bizarre, battles that exemplify true manliness and bromance.

The non-action fillers, sense of humor, music and character designs are this show's best qualities. The action's good too.

Ichigo Kurosaki is an ordinary high schooler until his family is attacked by a Hollow, a corrupt spirit that seeks to devour human souls. To save his family, he accepts Rukia Kuchiki's offer of taking her powers and becomes a Soul Reaper. He is later joined by his friends, Orihime Inoue, Yasutora Sado, and Uryuu Ishida.

Possibly the single best example of how far CGI has come and how it can inspire creative direction rarely seen in the medium. Also good show.

In a world populated by anthropomorphic animals, herbivores and carnivores coexist with each other. For the adolescences of Cherryton Academy, school life is filled with hope, romance, distrust, and uneasiness.

The main character is Regoshi the wolf, a member of the drama club. Despite his menacing appearance, he has a very gentle heart. Throughout most of his life, he has always been an object of fear and hatred by other animals, and he's been quite accustomed to that lifestyle. But soon, he finds himself becoming more involved with his fellow classmates who have their own share of insecurities and finds his life in school changing slowly.

A fairly nice adaption of the manga. But manga>anime

Tokyo is divided into wards where two species coexist: healthy humans who live normal lives and predatory ghouls who can only survive by devouring human flesh. They survive by concealing their identities from law enforcement, who are after them to protect human welfare. How can they both survive in such a world? They both attempt to survive by whatever means necessary, despite the never-ending battle.

Gory. Perverted. Strange. Horrifying. Visceral. Dark. Yet somehow beautiful and emotionally captivating.

Akira Fudo is informed by his best friend Ryou that the demons will revive and reclaim the world from the humans. As the humans do not stand a chance against the supernatural power of the demons, Ryou suggests fusing with a demon. Akira becomes Devilman, with the power of a demon and the heart of a human.

3 separate stories of love from one man's life that all end with a bittersweet notion that time is fleeting.

Two best friends from elementary school are torn apart when Akari's family is transferred to another region of Japan due to her family's job. Years later, Takaki finds out that his family is also moving and decides to meet up with Akari one last time. As years pass by, they keep remembering one another and the times they have shared together, wondering if they will ever meet again.

Love the story progression--it has its ups and downs but it still is a good one~

In Fairy Tail, Lucy Heartfilia joins a famous wizarding guild in Magnolia Town called Fairy Tail.
