There are plenty of Animes to choose from and this can be overwhelming for those who are just starting on their Anime Journey. Luckily there are few Anime that perfectly ease new audiences into the world of Anime. These Animes are known for short seasons and a variety of genres to choose from.
But if you have never watched Anime and are not sure what to begin with, we’ve got you on that front. We’ve made a list of some of the most beloved Animes so that you can begin your binge-watch session.
Well here is a list of 10 Animes for beginners to get started with.
1. Death Note (Thriller)
I started my Anime Journey from “Death Note”. If you’re one of those people who believe that Anime is for kids then this will surely change your whole perspective on Anime. If you’re interested in Crime, thriller, psychology and suspense you’ll surely love it. I assure you every single episode will keep you entertained.
2. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (Adventure)
The moment I started watching the anime I was captivated by how different it was in almost every aspect compared to most other anime. The animation, story, and atmosphere made me feel like I was watching an anime based on an RPG or something, not to mention the melancholic soundtracks that made me feel as if that was actually the case. If you watch this Anime as a beginner it will leave such a strong impact on you that you won’t ever want to end it. All I can say is “GO WATCH FMAB NOW”.
3. Attack On Titan (Action)
“Attack on titan” has to be one of my most favourite Animes. It holds a special place in my heart but keeping my personal feelings apart, Attack On Titan is a Masterpiece written by genius Hajime Isayama. It has endless plots and has captivated audiences worldwide with its intense narrative, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes. If you haven’t watched AOT yet, you’re missing out on a lot.
4. Demon Slayer: Kimetusu no Yaiba (Adventure)
“Demon Slayer” definitely would be a great starter for a beginner. Though it is mainly praised and liked for its breathtaking animation.
However, Demon Slayer is more than just its stunning animation. Every character has their own backstory which makes it special. Demon Slayer is an absolute must-watch that will leave you on the edge of your seat, laughing, crying, and begging for more.
5. Erased (Thriller, Suspense)
If you’re into time travelling, then you would love this anime for its unique and amazing storyline. You can finish this anime within 1-2 days so it’d be perfect for a beginner to watch this Anime. Long story short this is an anime that will leave you shocked and wanting more.
6. A Silent Voice (Drama)
The movie “A Silent Voice” is a great film with expressive animation and beautiful storytelling.
At first it seems like a normal romance movie but it’s more than that and while it is a hard watch, it’s only hard because of how emotionally impactful it can be. As it made me cry a few times while watching this movie. I’d surely recommend this if you’re a beginner.
7. Naruto (Action)
“Naruto” is something I grew up watching and I loved every bit of it. Though at first you may not feel like watching it, as it has a lot of episodes. But it’ll get you hooked from the first episode. The characters are extremely well written and have a lot of depth to them. Whether you’re a fan of action, adventure, or heartfelt moments, Naruto has something for everyone. Believe it!
8. Jujutsu Kaisen (Dark Fantasy, Action)
“Jujutsu Kaisen” is completely unique while at the same time being an amalgamation of every Shonen anime out there. It gets you hooked in at the beginning episodes with the many different characters, all being the typical commonly-used tropes, albeit in a rather relatable tone. And what makes it stand out is its unique take on curses and jujutsu sorcery, which adds a fresh twist to the traditional shonen genre. So overall, “Jujutsu Kaisen” is a must-watch for anyone who loves a good supernatural action anime.
9. Violet Evergarden (Drama)
“Violet Evergarden” is insanely way too good. I’m not really an emotional person but something about this anime made me overwhelmed with tears. As the series went on, the emotions of it grew stronger and stronger, almost like it was copying how Violet’s emotions grew stronger and stronger with each episode. I cannot tell you how big a mistake it would be if you skip this anime. Anyone who watches anime whether it be occasional or full-on otaku should definitely watch this.
10. One Punch Man (Action, Comedy)
This is the anime that introduced a new world to me for an anime lover. The simplicity of our hero Saitama is truly unparalleled, just like his unfathomable strength. It sometimes have some plot in it. But overall, it’s a pleasure to watch. Some may say it’s boring as it has not a single bit of complicated stuff and plots. But it’s like a treat to yourself, after a long hard day, you can relate to saitama. A simple overwhelmingly powerful mc, who defeats all of his enemies with a single punch.
