The post Top 5 Reasons To Binge Anime appeared first on I drink and watch anime.

It almost feels like Geneshaft was intended as a parody at some stage of its creation, before going down the edgy route instead.
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.
5 Reasons To Skip: Gangsta
While this is an interesting premise to draw people in, Gangsta does a very poor job at managing the scope of its story.
5 Reasons To Skip: Hyouka
As low-stakes as the mysteries in Hyouka are, they still make unreasonable demands of the audience if they wish to participate.

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

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: Konosuba
God’s Blessing on this Wonderful Anime
5 Reasons To Watch: Ponyo

I much enjoyed how Bastard mashes together fantasy elements from all manner of inspirations. Mainly Western in origin...
5 Reasons To Watch: Kemonozume
Kemonozume was to be the first time that Yuasa got to unleash his artistic vision unto a full-length TV anime.
5 Reasons To Skip: BOFURI
Many other series have done this premise before in more interesting coats. BOFURI's slapdash structure feels insincere.

5 Reasons To Watch: Penguindrum
Every anime should include penguins.
5 Reasons To Watch: Mahoromatic

5 Reasons To Read: Message To Adolf
Message to Adolf started in 1983, but looks perfectly fine today. Tezuka's art is detailed, refined, and has a timeless appeal to it.
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.

Count the number of times the word "goblin" is used in this review.

Isekai were familiar and perhaps tiring trope even when this anime first released, but which Log Horizon gives an all-new spin.
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: Initial D
Initial D is the iconic racing anime. A status it has enjoyed (and defended) for two-and-a-half decades now.
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: 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.

A hit comedy manga with bittersweet undertones. Useless Ponko is a new manga series you don't want to skip out on.
5 Reasons To Watch: Gurren Lagann
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: Strawberry Marshmallow
