A Few More Must Watch Anime

By
Over the past few weeks, I've shared a handful of anime that I think you need to watch. But these few weeks weren't enough time to list off all the shows that are binge worthy. After this blog post, I will be taking a hiatus from writing on this blog to heavily focus on my post grad job search. So with that being said, I'm going to give a quick run down of even more anime to watch!


A Lull in the Sea


If you want to cry, this is the show that will do it--I binged this show in a day in a half. This aesthetically beautiful drama/romance is about humans and mermaid like humans who live in the water. The mermaid like humans kinda need to stay in water to live so they can't be with those on land.

From the New World


This show takes place in a utopia world and the difficulties that is in a coming of age story. The main character searches for the mysterious of the world she's thrown into while discovering herself. It gets pretty weird but the more you watch, the more interesting it gets.

Devilman Crybaby


A Netflix favorite during its peak. This show basically talks about a super human that is Devilman. There's a lot of sex, drugs, and violence just in the first episode alone, so if you can stomach that, this show is for you. The show moves pretty fast so your favorite characters might not stick around until the end.

Assassination Classroom


This anime is about a super powerful intelligent-can do-anything-octopus teacher that will explode the moon if he is not killed by the end of the school year. It's a weird concept, but trust me, this show makes all the characters lovable.

Parasyte -the maxim-


For more action lovers, this show has it all and a lot of it. A boy's hand gets merged into an alien knife like being and is fighting off the other alien like beings and well, a lot of people get sliced up. This show can be divided into sections since the main character goes through a lot of psychological trauma.

Nana


For a more mature drama romance show where the characters are young adults, this anime is perfect. There are two girls with the same name but completely different personalities. They're both roommates in a city that take completely different paths. One of my personal favorites.

Shiki



This horror anime is about a "virus" that inflicts a small country town in Japan after a rich family moved in. We get to see all the villagers interact with one another and how they handle with this incident. This show is a slow burn so the last few episodes go crazy. Make sure to watch the extra episodes that are side stories of some of these villagers. This show is VERY underrated.

Made in Abyss


This show may look all cute and fun but it gets dark, real dark. In another utopia like world, a girl ventures out to the abyss to learn more about her mom. You can't go too deep into the abyss because then your body pays the price. And well, the girl goes deep into the abyss with her friend.

Annnnndddd that's it for now.

These are only a handful of anime that are great watches. A lot of them are popular in the anime community but not necessarily in mainstream media. Some people still think anime is weird, and it can be sometimes--when have you ever watched a show about a super powered octopus teacher?


Over these 14 weeks, I tried not to include big names like Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia and so on. Those shows are kind of a given. But there are just some shows like Deathnote or Hunter X Hunter that need to be watched. I also didn't include all my personal favorites. My personal favorite genre seems to be romance, drama, and horror--but we can go through that list another day.

There's still so many anime out there that I haven't seen yet. I'm kind of out of the anime game now due to how busy I am, but I try my best to watch one every so often. I'm currently trying to finish Fairy Tail and watch High Rise Invasion on Netflix (I'm really bad at finishing both).

But enough of that. I hope these past few weeks has helped you decide on what anime you'll watch next or put on your watch list. Whether you read this blog once, twice, a few times, or if this is your first time, thank you so much for coming on this crazy ride of anime! 



Side note: Here is the complete list of all the shows I've watched. Happy Anime watching!

This week's anime is a comedy, sports, coming-of-age shonen. You're probably thinking, "a show about volleyball?? gross" but trust me, this show is good . The show follows Shoyo Hinata, after constantly losing every volleyball game (due to forcing random people on his team since nobody else wanted to join) decides to attend Karasuno High School to become the next "Little Giant"--his idol nicknamed that for his small height but took the school to the nationals years prior. But once Hinata enrolls in the school and joins the club, he learns that the current volleyball team is one of the worst ones in  prefecture . Karasuno means crow and now with their reputation as a powerhouse volleyball school is gone, they are now " The Wingless Crows ". Hinata wasn't the only first year to join the volleyball team, Tobio Kageyama also did who actually faced Hinata in a volleyball game during middle school. With Hinata's raw talent of jumping incredibly h

You may be thinking, "that's such a dark title", well it is a pretty dark show . This 12 episode anime takes place in the afterlife, in a bar called Quindecim. There's a mysterious white haired bartender, Decim and his helper Chiyuki who bring two people at a time, who passed away, and make them play a game to see whether they can reincarnate, or go to a place which is basically purgatory. You may be thinking "games are fun, right?", well, if you want to call throwing darts onto a board that inflicts pain on a certain artery is fun, well then, I guess it could be fun? With each different "couple" that comes in, the game is different but ultimately both are staking their lives, or you could say their future lives'? These people don't know their dead, so with that, they are incredibly confused as to where they are and why. This is purposeful. With them not knowing they're dead, they tend to give it their all in the game their playing to w
