As always, finding the right order to rate these anime are so difficult, because they are all super enjoyable to watch and have characters that make me laugh and cry. However, I definitely do have my favorites. I thought it might be interesting for people to read this since I have only been watching anime for the past year or so, and these are the ones that are the most enjoyable to me from not having started watching anime at a young age.
#5: Death Note
I haven't actually finished watching this anime, but from what I have seen of it I absolutely love it. I love the concept of the Death Note and the whole idea of the show really makes you think. Not to mention the unique and well-crafted characters in the show. I'm definitely in love with both L and Light, and Misa is such a relatable character in the best way possible...minus the whole killing-people thing. But in the goth/rebel but also kind of kawaii at the same time thing, I'm totally there.
#4: Fruits Basket
This show is such a cute and kawaii show! Although it does follow a pretty simple plot line, and it can feel a bit slow at times, it's very humorous and the characters are so well developed and fun to watch! I'm in love with Yuki and Kyo, and I honestly can't decide which one I'd rather marry in my weeaboo fantasies...hehe...
The main enjoyment in watching these episodes comes from the cute humor and anticipating the day when Tohru will finally understand that these cute boys like her and whether she'll make a choice between them or not. So, like I said, cute and simple plot line, but with a little bit of a twist in the fact that these cute boys are in fact animals from the original zodiac!
#3: Tokyo Ghoul
This series honestly had me crying so, so, so many times. It is absolutely horrifying and painful to watch in it's gruesome scenes, so it's definitely not for the faint of heart. However, it also portrays what I believe to be the most intense character arc ever written for a protagonist. Our main character goes from such a sweet, kind, slightly awkward book lover to the tortured part-ghoul, part-human soul we all love.
To be honest, I've completely fallen in love with Juuzou Suzuya in this show even more than Kaneki Ken, although I definitely love our main character dearly as well. There's just something about Juuzou's insane innocence and maddeningly terrifying calmness about him that intrigues me so much about the character. He's such a kawaii little murderer and I can't help but find him to be one of the most adorable anime characters I've ever seen.
#2: Attack on Titan
Attack on Titan is extremely dear to my heart. It was the second anime I watched, and I was completely obsessed with it for a solid month and a half of my life. Of all the anime merch that I have, I think my Attack on Titan merch has to be my favorite. The story is so rich and complicated. There is definitely a reason it does so well here in America as well as in Japan.
As we all know, Levi Ackerman is my biggest crush in the entire world, second only to Sebastian Stan maybe, and so I absolutely adore every scene that involves even the tiniest bit of his presence. Where's my Levi body pillow everyone I mean come on lol.
#1: RWBY
RWBY was the first ever anime that I watched! I know that a lot of people don't consider it to be a true anime since it technically started in America instead of Japan, but I am on the side that it is an anime. This show is so rich in every aspect of storytelling. The costumes for every character were designed specifically with cosplayers in mind, and they each coincide in very symbolic ways with each character.
The plot is constantly taking different twists and turns, and new characters are always being introduced, but not at a confusing rate. It is also beginning to develop a stronger fanbase, and I'm so excited that you can now go out and buy merch of the series! I'm so proud of the few posters I've found of this fandom, and my Ruby cosplay my dear friend made for me!
Honorable Mention: Magi Madoka Magica
Although I've only seen the first movie in this series I am absolutely in love with it. I kind of hated it because I wasn't expecting it to get so dark halfway through, but I honestly really appreciated where the plot was going and how unexpected it was. I literally got chills watching it at the unexpected gruesome parts and at first I was honestly terrified but then I loved it. Definitely recommend for those of you who are like me and love all things kawaii and pink, but also appreciate real story and realize that typically good stories take place in a real world where bad things happen.
Let me know in the comments below of any other anime I should add to my favorites list!
Later, peeps💗
