I am convinced that this semester flew by only because how the world of anime took me into a different dimension. I got into anime during winter break this year and as a newcomer I’ve watched just a handful of some shows. Anime pulled through this semester. ?
I have compiled a list of the handful of animes I’ve watched and what they are like as well as how I would rate them. My summaries are fuzzy because I binge watch them and don’t really remember the details from some of the earlier shows. Also, my ratings should be taken with a grain of salt because 1) I don’t remember the details 2) I really liked all of them 3) These are ALL the animes I’ve ever watched.
- Hunter X Hunter 30000/10
- Really great show funny, morally relevant, and entertaining.
- Gon is such an inspirational kid.
- Hisoka is kinda … an oddball… for sure.
- ONE PIECE 20000/10
- Similar vibes to HxH
- Luffy and Gon could be friends.
- Comfort show
- I don’t like the fight scenes because Luffy is always going to win, so where’s the suspense?
- 900ish episodes. only 130ish available on Netflix.
- Full Metal Alchemist 10/10
- It’s all a blur
- I was really invested though
- Funny and deep, a good combination
- DEATHNOTE 8/10
- This was one of the earlier animes I watched and to be honest I usually get scared by shows like this, but this was one was fascinating
- Fun and fresh
- Main character low-key creepy. Aren’t you supposed to empathize with the main character and care for them? Or maybe this was purposefully done to show the true nature of humanity, I do not know.
- The Promised Neverland 8/10
- Also, a more of a horror utopia/dystopia vibe, but I really enjoyed the plot
- Waiting for Season 2
- I’m proud to say I watched it before it started trending on TikTok ?
- The Disastrous Life of Saiki K 10/10
- Great comfort show
- Saiki is just hilarious
- Not binge-worthy because the episode plots are sort of repetitive.
- Great Pretender 7/10
- One of the first shows I watched so I don’t really remember a lot other than it being about a criminal organization.
- I really like the evil mastermind kind of thing, where they’ve figured out their opponents moves before it even happens.
- March Comes in like a Lion 10/10 for deepness, -3/10 for binge-worthiness
- Very deep, and more slow-paced compared to the others on this list
- Very introspective main character
- May cause crying and emotions!
- Relaxing/calming show but kind of eerie, not binge-material
- Erased 7/10
- To be honest, don’t remember what this show was about but I liked it I think…
- I think it was a more serious mood with some eerie
- Quick watch for a weekend or night of streaming
Have you watched one of these animes before? Do you agree with my ratings? I hope you all will consider wandering into the world of anime if you need something new to watch this summer. Good luck with finals everybody!
