Akudama Drive is one of the craziest, channeling the madness of Danganronpa with the trappings of a Tarantino flick. The plot revolves around highly skilled criminals.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu, no Yaiba’s popularity by this point, is only matched by how binge-able it is. Following the mass killing of his family and his sister’s conversion to the demon, Tanjuro joins the demon slayer core in the hope of seeking a cure, the breadth, taking odd style, and epic scale of its battles have cemented it as a mod great.

15. Odd Taxi
Exquisitely written and doesn’t even come close. Partial mystery thriller, part meditation on Japanese culture as a whole, this series focuses on a middle-aged cab driver who gets tangled up in the aftermath of murder with many of the key players, just ending up in the back seat of his cab. And yes, he is also a Walrus.
The anthropomorphic edge might get some getting used to, but the sappiness and width of its dialogue will have you entrenched before you know it.
IMDB has rated Odd Taxi 8.5 out of 10.
16. The Seven Deadly Sins
After taking over Princess Elizabeth’s kingdom, your highness seeks out the nights of Seven Deadly Sins, legendary warriors, who were once framed, to help her regain her homeland from the traitorous Holy Knights.
Not showing away from its sillier elements, there is plenty of fun to be had here between the sins of individual quirks, personal journeys, and some tremendous magical fights. Other than that, you have to watch it for Escinor alone.
IMDB has rated The Seven Deadly Sins 7.9 out of 10.
17. Fate / Zero
If you need a good anime show to start your first Isakai, we recommend Fate / Zero as a jumping-off point. The play tells the tale of the fourth Holy Grail War, a tournament where aspiring mages summon historical worriers to compete in a series of death matches to grant their wishes.
Still, the fantastic animations, a wide variety of mythical and ancient characters, and the use of magic make the show one of the must-watch fantasies in this genre.
IMDB has rated Fate / Zero 8.2 out of 10.
18. The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K.
Quirky, crazy, and outright hilarious, Saiki K’s day-to-day antics are a train wreck that we can’t stop watching. Blessed with psychic powers that he deemed a curse, Saiki K struggles to lead an everyday life but repeatedly runs into problems, primarily due to the rest of the ordinary yet equally outrageous cast. However, the wall-breaking fast pace of the jokes and Saiki K’s deadpan style of narration ensure you will love your antenna off before long.
IMDB has rated The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K 8.4 out of 10.
19. Devilman Crybaby
Insanity, Tears, and Chaos mesh it all together and get the crown jewel in the Netflix anime catalog. When it starts to spill out of human society, former wimp Akira Fudo unwittingly fuses with one devil and, in doing so, attempts to save the people he loves while struggling with his dark desires.
The show’s animations feel like something close to a sensory experience with the show’s brilliant colors, unique scenery, and crazy runs. Not one of which takes away from just how heart-wrenching and despair-inducing the series can be at the best of times, and you will still be happy for the ride.
IMDB has rated Devilman Crybaby 7.6 out of 10.
20. One Punch Man
A premise is so simple it’s almost beautiful. Deconstructing taking sharp blowups at the Superhero trope, the story of One Punch Man follows a middle age man named Saitama. He is so strong that everything he punches is eliminated in only one hit.
Despite being surrounded by all kinds of heroes, villains, and everything in between, no one can come close to the strength of Saiama’s fist. This makes for incredible actions, and some hilarious comedy, one that will have you drawn in is the out-of-this-world final boss fight.
IMDB has rated One Punch Man 8.7 out of 10.
Honorable mention: Ana No oku no li Tokoro (Its an 18+ anime trending on Youtube)
21. Kuroko’s Basketball
Kuroko’s Basketball is a sports anime that even casual sports anime fans can adore. Eager to help his team to become the best in the country, basketball prodigy Kuroko lends his skills to the team.
But for the championship, he also competes with the team, for he has played before. While not afraid to dip into some anime logic, for the most part, this is the best example of how anime, sports, and the growth of the character are a match made in heaven.
IMDB has rated Kuroko’s Basketball 8.3 out of 10.
22. Kill La Kill
As erotic as action-packed, Kill La Kill is a Quintessential studio trigger firing on all cylinders, with their incredible sense of humor and ridiculously awesome fights. Following the tale of Ryūko and her quest to find vengeance for her father.
Kill La Kill has sentient costumes, fan service, a slice of life, and so on. Managing to toe the line between a serious topic and a light-hearted presentation, this series is compelling no matter which aspect of its crazy spectrum it’s tackling. Kill La Kill is the anime that gave us our beloved Satsuki-san. It deserves your allegiance.
IMDB has rated Kill La Kill 7.9 out of 10.
23. Erased
Time travel and the murder mystery are made for each other, especially when they are layered magnificently, as in the anime series Erased.

Unwavering in its exploration of human failing and compassion, Erased will thrill you from beginning to end. Fair warning has someone close by to hug. This gets way too real, way too quickly.
IMDB has rated Erased 8.5 out of 10.
24. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation
If you are looking for a good Isekai anime, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation will be best for you. Starting life as a depressed, wasteful layabout Rudeus Greyrat is given another chance at life in a world where monsters and magicians live together.
While the top notched elements of the series are enjoyable on every level, its true heart lies in Rudeus’s redemption and how he slowly learns to become a better person while accepting his flaws. How something could be heartwarming, savage, sleazy, and eloquent at the same time is beyond us, but Jobless Reincarnation accomplishes it all the same.
IMDB has rated Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation 8.4 out of 10.
25. Jujutsu Kaisen
Swiftly establishing itself as this generation’s must-watch shonen, Jujutsu Kaisen takes all the tropes you love, adds an extra layer of darkness, and comes out swinging. After being bonded to a demonic entity, hard-headed yet lovable Itadori Yuji becomes a Jujutsu Sorcerer to wipe out curses and ensure the beast inside him remains sealed.
What would be narrated pitfalls, the lesser series excels here, from its magic system, its resonant OP character, and its particular brand of tragedy. So watch this space because this is going to get even better, for sure.
IMDB has rated Jujutsu Kaisen 8.6 out of 10.
26. Made In Abyss
A work of art that loves nothing more than strangling your soul. Made In Abyss is binge-able as it is sadistic in how it presents a captivating story with wholly innocent characters who are forced to be content with monsters and men of the worst kind.
Alongside her cyborg companion, optimistic cave dweller, Riko, chooses to dive to the bottom of the chasm known as the Abyss, in search of her missing mother, in a journey that contains wonderous sights but sinister forces, all too happy to unmake them.
Beautiful and blisteringly painful to watch at all times, it’s a track that demands your attention, even if you want to turn away.
IMDB has rated Made In Abyss 8.4 out of 10.
27. Higurashi: When They Cry
A horror show masquerading as a slice of life, when a new student arrives in a new town with the hope of enjoying a new life, he soon finds that there is something wicked afoot, a curse that loves nothing more than loot time, just so it can present new opportunities for the cast, to lose their minds and try to ripe each other apart.
It is one of those types of anime, hardcore yet fascinating, it takes a while to get to the long sword good ending, but seeing so many versions of the same characters trying to fight their way out of their worst situations it’s entertaining nonetheless.
IMDB has rated Higurashi: When They Cry 7.9 out of 10.
28. Gyakkyô Burai Kaiji
These days shows based on death games are all the rage, with this being yet another classic example of why getting into debt is a terrifying thing.
Desperate to overcome his financial hellhole, eternal looser Kaiji, finds himself drawn into various games of life and death, all for the chance to earn that much-needed green. He may be an idiot, but Kaiji’s quick-wittedness in the heat of the moment, always makes for a riveting watch, especially with all the craziness tossed his way.
IMDB has rated Gyakkyô Burai Kaiji 8.2 out of 10.
29. Hunter x Hunter
Dreaming of finding his absentee father, Gon decides to become a hunter, which would help what many would consider the best shonen experience to date.
The ingredients are all here a fantastic Tournament Arc, foes with staggering complexities, fight scenes that put its contemporaries to shame, and an endearing cast constantly challenged by the world around them. It just keeps going. The right to reach the end is so good that it won’t even matter if a continuation seems increasingly unlikely.
IMDB has rated Hunter x Hunter 9.0 out of 10.
30. Attack On Titans
Giant monsters and Giant walls, and one angry youngster vowing to tear it all down.
One of the century’s most explosive and enthralling anime experiences, Eren Yeager, and the Survey Corps’s mission to wipe the titans, might sound like standard fare. Still, the series has proven to be a master at phenomenal world-building and subversive narratives.
This is the best time to get into the AOT franchise and see what everyone is talking about. If you are one of the two anime fans out there that haven’t taken the plunge yet, you certainly won’t regret it.
IMDB has rated Attack On Titans 9.0 out of 10.
Youtube Anime Name: Tonari no Seki-kun
31. Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
The second iteration of the Elrics and their journey to find the Philosopher’s stone is generally agreed to be one of the greatest anime ever created. It also proudly wears the crown of being the most binge-worthy, even with such a messy episode count.
Committing a terrible mistake while trying to bring back the deceased mother through the power of Alchemy, Edward and Alphonse’s journey to reclaim, what they have lost, is staggering and scope and effortless execution.
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is no slouch regarding its brawls, but it shines the most regarding the introspection of its leads. No matter how you look at it, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the best anime has to offer.
IMDB has rated Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood 9.1 out of 10.

Jojo has some exciting fight scenes that complement its unique power system, and a source, along with those fight scenes, comes out some interesting dialogues that soon get turned into memes.

44. Gintama
It is rare to see significant action in a comedy anime, but Gintama is an exception. It delivers some great comedy, with gags and parodies, but when the action parts hit in, it doesn’t disappoint you with its Sumaurai mixed action.
It happens when aliens from outer space have invaded earth and taken over feudal Japan. Now Samurai in the world are kicked out and treated with disrespect, but among them is Gintoki, an errand boy with the heart of a samurai. His daily events lead to difficult situations, but it does;t take long for them to turn comical.
Gintama incorporates Eastern and Western concepts and parodies some popular animes. So if you need some excellent laughs plus great action, this is the anime for you.
45. Parasyte: The Maxim
Alien invasions are nothing new. You see alien ships and UFOs appearing in the sky and attacking and killing humans, but what if these aliens or monsters are intelligent and do not reveal themselves quickly!!
Parasyte is an anime about a boy named Shinichi Izumi, who discovers a strange species named Parasyte, who takes control of human brains. A parasite called Migi enters Shinichi’s body, and the two form a strong bond as they fight another parasite.
This is an ideal show for action and mystery fans, and you will be surprised by the twists the show pulls and the emotion it delivers. It may have a few action sequences compared to many others on the list, but when the words are no longer an option and the fists’ stars roll, that is when the anime indeed shows its colors.
46. Akira
Akira is hailed as one of the masterpieces that came out back in the day. If Akira didn’t exist, most of the great anime you already watched wouldn’t have had their inspiration. Akira happens in a futuristic world and follows Katsuhiro Ôtomo, a biker gang leader whose childhood friend acquires incredible telekinesis after an accident. Still, these powers aren’t your regular superpowers.
Soon his friend becomes a threat to both Tokyo and the military in the going chaos of the world. Rather than focusing on the potential powers, this anime movie shows the repercussions of Powers. For 90s anime, it has some incredibly animated action scenes and some great directing as well.
47. Black Clover
Our list would be incomplete if we didn’t mention our favorite screaming wizard guy. Black Clover follows Asta, a young orphan with no magical powers in a world where everyone has different magical powers but still aims high.
He soon gains the mysterious Five leaf Grimore and, along with his friend and rival Yuno, follows on various adventures to become the one and only wizard king. The first few episodes of the show might put you off a little since it borrows many elements of the gene, but soon the display stands on its legs with its impressive world-building and excellent character development and mysteries.
48. Drifters
Toyohisa Shimazu is a mortally wounded soldier at the battle of Sakigahara. In his dying moments, he is transported into another world and finds himself in a group known as Drifters. The Drifters are made of other powerful worriers like him and need to fight off the ends who wish to take over the world and kill all of the Drifters.
Under the Ends’ command is an arsenal of monsters ranging from Giants to Dragons. Drifters are one of the most underrated anime shows and the one you should check out.
49. Vinland Saga
Nothing matches a good revenge story than Vikings. Unfortunately, they weren’t the best company to hang out with if you read or watched the reports. They pillaged villages, murdered innocents, and pulled out schemes to get power.
One of the victims of these actions is Thorfinn’s father, he was biking himself, but due to the schemes of cunning Askeladd, he met his death while trying to protect the rest of his crew. Naturally, this drove Thorfinn mad, and it didn’t take long for the boy to turn into a mindless killer, working under the man who murdered his father.
His only goal is to get strong and kill Askeladd to fill his revenge, and the story shows how hatred can corrupt any man until he turns into a monster. With the animation from WiT Studio, this show has some great, hand-to-hand combat science and greatly choreographed action to match the story’s overall tone.
50. Thermae Romae Novae
Thermae Romae Novae have the crazy premise you might ever hear of. Lucius is a Roman Empire architect who ran out of ideas but was magically transported to a bathhouse in modern Japan.
Where he will discover a whole repertoire of new artifacts and designs for inspiration in his creations, the funniest thing is that when he returns to his time to emit what he has learned, in the present day, things start to get a little weird.
It may sound irrelevant, but this anime is a gem of humor and wit because there is no funnier than watching an old architect imagine how electric appliances work. Thermae Romae Novae is based on a manga with the same name, created by Mari Yamazaki, and it’s not the first time it has been adapted into a series.
In 2012, the creators made an anime for Fuji Television. However, considering its popularity, Netflix decided to adapt it again to give a new style to this incredible and crazy adventure.
IMDB has rated Thermae Romae Novae 7.0 out of 10.
