My Hero Academia
My Hero Academia, otherwise known as Boku no Hero Academia, is a very popular anime that started off via manga in 2014 and adapted into an anime just 2 years later. The story starts off with a main character (Izuku Midoriya) who has no quirk (a special power/ability) and we follow his adventure into obtaining a quirk, and fighting villains! But how did this series make it onto this list?
There are a number of episodes with a number of different characters for anyone to be able to relate to. Whether it is a student, villain, or even a professional Hero! There are plenty of characters, and back stories, to choose from!
Something that this series does well is that not only do most people have a quirk but it is set with a limitation or specific detail. For example, Bakugo is a character whose quirk is to make explosions from his sweat made out of nitroglycerin. Todoroki can make ice and fire, but he has to have enough stamina in order for it to work. It can’t just happen. This allows many fans to come up with their own, “quirk” while also trying to make it realistic and not too overpowering.
Whether it is for the world or the characters, reading/watching My Hero Academia is a must!
Beastars
Beastars is a type of anime that will get heads turning, and not for the reasons that you would normally think. The series first pulls people in with it’s visuals and furry theme. Beastars is a furry anime made with 2D and 3D animation and blended so seamlessly that it’s hard to tell when it changes! It does this while also laying out full body proportions of the characters more realistically than other series when it comes to body proportions in the art style that was chosen.
The world and story is where heads start doing a 360. The series focuses on real struggles of living in a society of herbivores, carnivores, and everything in between without blurring lines of imagination and reality. Can you live with someone you love while wanting to eat their delicious flesh?
On top of this, the characters are made more in depth and steer off from mainstream characters. Nerd boy? Nowhere to be seen. An antagonist to relate to? Not really. Yandere? Every carnivore practically is!
If you want something different while also having you consider things you never would have thought of, give Beastars a shot!

Assassination Classroom
Assassination Classroom is an anime about killing your Octopus-like teacher! Now that I’ve pulled you in, let’s talk about what’s really good about this series.
Assassination Classroom is similar to My Hero Academia in the sense that there are many character options to see and relate to. Each character has at least an episode or more about them in order to flesh them out while also not veering off the goal of the story of the students working together to kill their teacher! This series combines comedy, slice of life, romance, and various other genres without overwhelming any of them while serving enough variety to cater to many tastes! But can you really take this cat’s word for it? Come check it out!
No Game No Life
No Game No Life mixes together a wonderful world of a slightly different art style with popping colors and reels us in with the setting that for many otakus and gamers can relate to! A world run by games!
The series starts off introducing us to an older brother and younger sister who not only love to game, but are the best at it! They play anything and everything from board games, card games, and of course, video games!
Because of their skills, they get sent to another world by a child-like god where they will use those very skills to survive in a world run by games!
This series will have you looking twice for not only the gorgeous art, but the world that the series has! A childlike God, governing by games for his own enjoyment and ours! Or is there more?!
My Roommate is a Cat
Subaru is a reclusive author who prefers to stay indoors and enjoys reading and writing. He eventually crosses paths with a cat who he later makes the star of his next book! In order to keep the inspiration of the story going, Subaru keeps the cat. Through this we see the same story from two perspectives, Subaru’s and the cat, Haru’s!
Haru and Subaru begin to expand each other’s world as Subrau begins to go out from his home after his parent’s death with support from his long time best friend and a pet store employee who helps him with his new cat! Haru comes to get to explore a life of living with a human while also uncovering his tragic past!
It is a great realistic look into the world of being a cat owner! Especially for the first time!
