Are you looking for anime recommendations? Whether you are a newbie or are already a fan, here’s a list of eight amazing anime series just for you. Anime has increasingly gained popularity worldwide over the last few decades, leading to production of more amazing anime content and continual increase in their fanbase. The best anime belong to the ‘Action’ and ‘Adventure’ genres, but there’s no shortage of them in other genres. Nevertheless, in this list, the animes have been narrowed down to belong from this genre!

1. Naruto (2002-2017)

This is the one series I would recommend to anyone and everyone. Naruto follows the story of a young boy, Naruto, who is an orphan, bullied by his peers, and awful at ninjutsu, the technique used by ninjas in the series. What follows is his endless determination and struggle to gain recognition from the villagers, and to become the Hokage, leader of the Leaf Village. Naruto is a long but beautiful story, having so many plots and twists, but at the same time, showing the value of hope, courage, and relationships in life. There are two main parts: Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. A sequel, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, started airing from 2017.

2. Death Note (2006-2007)

One of the anime series that is widely known worldwide, Death Note follows Light Yagami, an intelligent teenage boy who discovers the Death Note, a supernatural notebook that causes the death of anyone whose name he writes in the book. Numerous killings happen over the next days and the media names the new killer as ‘Kira.’ Death Note is an anime where you can see how criminal masterminds work and just how equally canny law workers catch them.

3. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (2006-2008)

Lelouch Lamperouge is a Britannian student, an outcast prince living with his sister, Nunnaly, in Japan. The Holy Empire of Britannia has managed to force its control onto Japan, renaming it Area 11. When Lelouch is caught up in a fight between the Area 11 rebels and the armed forces of Britannia, he narrowly escapes because of the appearance of a mysterious woman C.C. who gives him the power of Geass. With the ocular power that he can use to control anyone, Lelouch embarks on a mission to destroy the Brittanian Empire and appears in public as the masked vigilante, Zero. Code Geass is another anime where you see how intelligence and tactics win the war.

4. Tokyo Ghoul (2014-2018)

Kaneki is a college student who becomes half ghoul after a deadly encounter with his date, Rize Kamishiro, who reveals herself a ghoul. He now has to learn to deal with eating flesh to meet his ghoul impulses and fit in society as half-human, half-ghoul. Luckily, he meets the ghouls that run Anteiku, a coffee shop, who help him to adjust to his new reality and make sure he keeps his identity secret. In this 12-episode series, we see Kaneki struggle to integrate two of his very different personalities into one and try to survive.

5. Bleach (2004-2012)

In Bleach, Ichigo Kurosaki, born with the ability to see ghosts, sees Rukia Kuchiki, the Soul Reaper, who fights Hollows and sends ghosts to the afterlife. In a battle with a powerful Hollow, Rukia is wounded and temporarily passes her abilities to Ichigo, a high school student. Ichigo reluctantly accepts the role of the Soul Reaper, and with the help of three spiritually aware classmates, manages to fight the Hollows that plague the world.

6. Psycho-Pass (2012-2019)

Psycho-Pass is an anime set in 22^nd century dystopian Japan, where the government uses the Sibyl System, psychometric scanners that actively measure the minds of the country’s citizens.

Akane Tsunemori is a rookie inspector, going out in the field for the first time, wanting to be part of justice. But as she works with enforcers, she realises that Japan’s justice system may not be what it seems to be, and questions what type of justice enforcement is she really part of.

7. Attack on Titan (2013-)

In the fictional world of Attack on Titan, humans live in cities that are surrounded by huge walls to protect them from monstrous giants, the Titans. However, the protection becomes ineffective as a titan breaches the wall of one such town, killing many. Eren Yeager, his friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert suffer long-lasting changes in their lives because of the attack. The anime series shows their adventures as a part of the Scout Regiment, a soldier group that fight the titans. There are four seasons in the series, with three released and the final one scheduled to be released by fall of 2020.

8. Blue Exorcist (2011-2017)

In Blue Exorcist, there are two worlds, Assiah, which is occupied by humans, and Gehenna, which is occupied by demons. There is no way to travel between the two dimensions but by possession of humans by demons.
