We all consumed some popular anime programming as children. Pokémon, Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, Digimon Adventures, and a few additional titles are among them. Then there are television programmes that have taken inspiration from anime in terms of character design, subject matter, and pacing, such as Samurai Jack and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
In the United States, anime has become very popular over time. You can probably locate a cartoon channel on your Spectrum Packages that airs an anime programme. American animation’s aesthetics and style are now beginning to be influenced by anime. Not to mention, anime fans are multiplying like crazy all over the world!
Are you thinking about starting to watch anime? Congratulations, as you will soon be able to access an endless supply of fantastic content. To begin with, there are numerous popular anime series, such as Death Note and Attack on Titan. The list of the best anime series only gets longer as more and more new ones come out every year. Let’s get right to the point and look at the best anime for beginners:
1: Bleach
The story of Ichigo Kurosaki, a hot teenager who receives the abilities of a soul reaper from Rukia Kuchiki, is followed in Bleach (another soul reaper). After adopting these abilities, he is now in charge of protecting people from the bad spirits that are present all around them. Indeed, there are ghosts in this anime, but the plot is everything from disappointing.
The quirks and backstories of the characters in Bleach are really intriguing. As the history of Bleach is rather simple, it’s an excellent show to start watching if you’re just getting into anime. Moreover, it is one of the “Big Three” Shonen Animes and has a lot of similarities with Naruto and One Piece (which are two highly acclaimed anime series). Nevertheless it stands out quite a bit, making it essential viewing.
2: Howl’s Moving Castle
Why not start your anime experience with something straightforward like Howl’s Moving Castle instead of the most well-known series? As an anime film, this one will finish in around an hour. That will give you a decent indication of whether anime is your cup of tea or not, which is why I highly suggest it.
It doesn’t matter what genre you choose; this animated movie is wonderful. A powerful magician named Howl and Sophie, a young girl who is cursed by a witch to become an old woman, meet in a fanciful 19th-century realm. One of the things I love about the movie is the real romance and the magnificent sights. I hope you can recognise them as well.
3: Assassination Classroom
This anime show is fantastic! The plot centres on the daily activities of a strong, octopus-like character who teaches homeroom at a junior high school. It also includes his pupils, who are determined to kill him in order to prevent the destruction of the world.
Both a thriller and an emotional drama, Assassination Classroom. Over the course of two seasons, it develops from a lighthearted comedy into something really spectacular. You could start feeling sorry for the instructor who shattered the moon and seems to be about to do the same to the Earth, I must warn you.
4: Hunter x Hunter
Gon Freecss’ journey to become a Hunter is followed in the television series Hunter x Hunter. He is a typical shounen hero who seeks not only to become a hunter but also to track down his father, who abandoned him when he was a small boy. The series’ storyline is driven by Gon’s commitment to helping others, and his resolve to see the best in everyone else makes him a wonder. He makes a little kid from an assassin family his buddy, and their divisive dynamic creates a link that moves the plot forward.
This fascinating bond between these two young people demands that you let your emotions take over. Yoshihiro Togashi (the author) highlights their youth and inexperience by pitting them against much older, more experienced foes and by presenting strong mentors who aid in their development. He takes great care to match the personalities and skills of his characters, yet everyone is inspired by their tenacity. You will never forget the amazing displays of willpower you’ll see in this anime. So, I advise every newbie to see this programme.
5: Death Note
This exciting anime is famous for its fierce competition, mind tricks, and planning. I advise waiting until you’ve finished viewing 3–4 programmes before watching this since it can be too much for someone just starting out.
When a detective who is somewhat unknown emerges, Light Yagami, a smart criminal who can trick anybody by writing their name in a book, is put to the test. As he lacks a name or identification, Yagami is unable to murder him.
While there is a lot of stuff available, I hope this list has enabled you to block out the background noise and concentrate on the greatest and most straightforward anime series.
