Combined with the limitless creativity afforded by the dreamlike setting, this makes Paprika a spectacle that is hard to rival.

God’s Blessing on this Wonderful Anime
5 Reasons To Watch: Mahoromatic
The example of a monster invasion breaking up the obligatory beach episode stands out, but is hardly the silliest Mahoromatic storyline.
5 Reasons To Watch: Symphogear
The best way I can describe Symphogear is by saying that it's a sci-fi magical girl anime crossed with an idol show.
5 Reasons To Watch: Fractale
With VR becoming more and more prominent, Fractale offers a cautionary tale of what depending on a fake reality could bring.

I’m on Team Sia. Fight me.
5 Reasons To Watch: Moomin
After generations of being a local niche, this second attempt at making a Moomin anime turned the Finnish comic series into a worldwide hype.

A visual masterpiece, even by Ghibli standards. Ponyo goes the extra mile to make every little detail of its world come to life.
5 Reasons To Watch: Penguindrum
Every anime should include penguins.
5 Reasons To Watch: Interspecies Reviewers
Monster Musume may have ignited a renewed interest in anime monster girls, but Interspecies Reviewers takes the concept far, far further.
5 Reasons To Watch: Death Parade
If you know anybody who is skeptical about anime, then Death Parade could be a fun anime to introduce them to.
5 Reasons To Watch: Flip Flappers
I initially compared Flip Flappers to a mixture of Alice in Wonderland and Madoka Magica, but in truth it's more like anime Psychonauts.
5 Reasons To Watch: Isekai Ojisan
A person being transported to a fantasy world after an accident is nothing new, but Isekai Ojisan is not your ordinary fantasy isekai.
5 Reasons To Watch: El-Hazard
All the different inspirations come together very well, making El-Hazard a fascinating world that I wish we could've gotten to see more of.
5 Reasons To Watch: Squid Girl
Fish-out-of- water comedy tends to be rather predictable, but Squid Girl taps into some very good material for its comedy.
5 Reasons To Watch: Goblin Slayer
Count the number of times the word "goblin" is used in this review.
5 Reasons To Watch: Kekkai Sensen
I'd say that Kekkai Sensen is a series that's worthy of standing besides other Bones works like My Hero Academia and Soul Eater.
5 Reasons To Watch: Pandora Hearts
Pandora Hearts does a great job at keeping you invested by constantly introducing new threads and resolving others.

All your childhood stories now feature waifus.

Isekai were familiar and perhaps tiring trope even when this anime first released, but which Log Horizon gives an all-new spin.

Gurren Lagann is a constant barrage of delicious action scenes, full of amazing moments and hilarity. This was Gainax at its peak.
5 Reasons To Watch: Eromanga Sensei
I was expecting something far more trashy when I first put it on my backlog, but I ended up genuinely appreciating Eromanga Sensei.
5 Reasons To Watch: Flying Witch
If Flying Witch was intended as a sneaky marketing campaign for Hirosaki, then it did a damn fine job at it.
5 Reasons To Watch: Hellsing (2001)
To kill a vampire, you need more than a stake to the heart or a 9mm to the face. Hellsing's vampires are borderline eldritch in nature.
5 Reasons To Watch: Peace Hame!
Though the initial plot appears like a straightforward vehicle for sex scenes, Peace Hame has more depth to it than you might think.
5 Reasons To Watch: Strawberry Marshmallow
Strawberry Marshmallow is straightforwardly an anime about the silly antics of a group of friends as they all hang out together.
5 Reasons To Watch: Welcome to the NHK
Don’t listen to the fridge.
5 Reasons To Watch: Legend of Light
I went into this show not knowing much about rhythmic gymnastics, but Legend of Light does a stellar job at making it seem amazing.

Whether you're a Romance of the Three Kingdoms fan or a lover of music, Ya Boy, Kongming does not disappoint.
5 Reasons To Watch: Ancient Magus’ Bride
Literal magical girl.
5 Reasons To Watch: Yu-Gi-Oh!
They were ready for a darker series, though obviously not one that was too intense yet. Yu-Gi-Oh! was the perfect fit for that.
5 Reasons To Watch: Neon Genesis Evangelion
My old review of Neon Genesis Evangelion was severely outdated, so I decided to re-review this mecha classic.
5 Reasons To Watch: Amagi Brilliant Park
For all its comedic touches, Amagi Brilliant Park is great at drawing you in with its high emotional stakes.
5 Reasons To Watch: Cutie Honey Flash
A flash of brilliance.
5 Reasons To Watch: Bocchi the Rock
While I can relate to my fellow nervous trainwrecks, what actually drew me to Bocchi the Rock was its animation.
5 Reasons To Watch: Polar Bear Café
Few anime are as relaxing to watch as Polar Bear Café. Grab a hot coffee, cozy up, and enjoy one of the finest comfort food anime out there.

Karin looks like a perfectly normal girl, but she has a terrifying secret: she and her entire family are actually vampires!

"It means, when you are happy, I am happy as well"
