Aha! Some wholesome stuff is on its way ladies and gentlemen. I believe you have even heard of this one if you have been in this community for a while.

 

Yup, it’s Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions. This 12-episode anime decided to show up on the TVs, back in 2012.

 

It is an anime adaptation of a light novel. The light novel was written by Torako and illustrated by Ousaka Nozomi.

 

The series follows the concept of ‘chuunibyou’ and its effects on Yuuta Togashi. Chuunibyou, to explain in the best way possible, is the idea of being an individual from a fantasy world.

 

Sounds crazy? Well, let me explain. As you all know, there have been multiple stages in our life where we looked at ourselves a bit differently.

 

We considered ourselves ‘special’ and deviated from the masses. This act of considering oneself ‘special’ can go as far as looking at oneself as a being from a realm that doesn’t even exist.

 

A fantasy realm. So, my boy, Yuuta Togashi has had his share of such days.

 

And as you would have guessed, this idea brings a lot of embarrassment with it.

 

Thus, Yuuta, being known as the “Dark Flame Master”, also experienced a lot of embarrassment as well.

 

So he decided to leave all of this and move on. All of this stupid stuff that happened in middle school is supposed to be overlooked by Yuuta in high school.

 

Thus, he chooses a high school that’s far away from his middle school. However, his approach to living a chuunibyou-free life shatters as he meets Takanashi Rikka.

 

Now Rikka, just like Yuuta, had her share of chuunibyou. She proclaims herself as the vessel of the ‘Wicked Eye’.

 

In other words, she hasn’t overcome the stage of chuunibyou yet. Now Yuuta, a man who wanted to give up on his delusions, met a girl who has those delusions.

 

Ironic, isn’t it? And this irony continues as he and Rikka get to know each other better and spend more time together.

 

This anime is specifically for people who love their wholesome, moe, cute, etc kind of stuff.

 

Throw in some KyoAni magic and bam! You have a fantastic series to accompany you this evening.

 

By the way, here’s a little trivia for you. This series was an honorable mention in the 2010 Kyoto Animation Awards.

Time to talk about some more Isekai, weebs. You see, the appeal of Isekai is more or less, the fun and enjoyable nature of the series.

 

And when we want some fun and enjoyable Isekai, Iruma Kun is a name that we should remember.

 

This 23-episode anime aired back in 2019. It is an anime adaptation of a manga.

 

The manga was written and illustrated by Nishi Osamu. Whereas the anime was animated by Bandai Namco Pictures.

 

The story is about Iruma Kun (obviously) but his full name is Iruma Suzuki. You see, my man doesn’t seem to have a great life for himself.

 

His parents never cared for him or themselves either. They were always slacking off and this forced him to work even at such a young age.

 

Now irresponsible deeds from his parents just don’t end here. One of the worst things his parents had done was sell him to a Demon named Sullivan.

 

Now getting yourself sold to a demon may not seem the best thing in the world.

 

Luckily, he isn’t standing in the misfortune for now. Sullivan wanted Iruma just like a grandchild and not for any evil purposes.

 

So he used to take a lot of care of him. Iruma was also admitted to a school.

 

However, that school was not a regular school. It was a demon school. Now a human getting transferred into a demon school might not seem like a great idea.

 

I mean he can’t perform magic and he has to conceal his identity from everyone.

 

To his favor, the chairman of the school is Sullivan himself. So it’s a bit easier for him to hide but being able to hide forever is a tough task.

 

A comical tone is added to the series as Iruma tries to keep his secret yet blends in with his school.

 

This Isekai anime is one of those ‘Shut-your-brain-and-just-enjoy’ kinds of series. You don’t have to worry about ‘Complexity’ or ‘Depth’.

 

No! Throw that out of the window. All you have to worry about is whether he would be able to hide his truth or not.

Office work might not be the most exciting thing for the person involved in doing it.

 

The frustration and irritation, one develop from his/her repetitive life are so real. And such a real problem is placed comically in this fantastic series called Aggretsuko.

 

Aggretsuko or Aggressive Retsuko is a 12-episode ONA series that aired back in 2018.

 

The anime is directed by Rareko and animated by Fanworks. It was produced by Netflix itself.

 

Oh yeah. The anime tells us the stereotypical happening in an office with a glass of humor added to it.

 

For example, we have our ruling boss who does nothing, like seriously nothing. Then we have those who cater to the boss for no reason.

 

And then some people work their face-off to keep up for a great performance. Retsuko the red panda falls in the final category.

 

She is the one who stays up nights long just to complete the work her colleagues are lazy to do.

 

Out of this stressful life, Retsuko likes to let off some steam in a local death metal karaoke club.

 

Ohh yeah, that’s how swaggy she is. However, her life as a worker and her death metal karaoke is something that might not seem to be matching at first, but could potentially be a great combination.

 

The series is filled with humor and fun that anyone can enjoy. Whether it’s your troupes or your actual office life, being able to enjoy this series is a piece of cake.

 

If you had a bad day at work today, why not give this a try?

One day, he had a small conflict with a girl named Ichika. And that conflict resulted in a poor image for both of them.

 

However, on the same day, he gets a great chance to make a hefty sum.

 

He is asked by the Nakano family to tutor their children and for that, he would be paid 5 times more than the market.

 

However, this is not as simple as it sounds. Remember that girl he fought with?

 

You guessed it! She is one of the children   Ohh why did I say ‘One of the’?

 

Well, that’s because he has to tutor 5 sisters altogether. A bit hesitant at first, Futaro accepts the task and thus begins his journey filled with inexpressible struggle.

 

However, this struggle might turn out to be a blessing in disguise for his social life.

WIT Studio is known to make some of the best humanity extinction-based anime. And their portfolio just shined brighter with Seraph Of The End being a part of it.

 

The series is THAT good. Seraph Of The End is a 12-episode TV series that aired back in 2015.

 

It is an anime adaptation of a Manga. The manga was written by Kagami Takaya and Furuya Daisuke and illustrated by Yamamoto Yamato.

 

The story is set in a world where an unknown virus shows up out of nowhere and brings humanity to the brink of extinction.

 

This virus affects everyone above the age of 13 and thus, children are not affected.

 

However, the misfortune for children doesn’t stop anyway. These children are kidnapped by vampires for the sake of their blood and thus, they reach a new world with almost no adults to be found.

 

As time passes, Yuuchiro Hyakuya, a kid who survived the virus, decides to escape this world.

 

This world where he has been trapped by Vampires just for the sake of his world.

 

With freedom in his eyes, he and his friend Mika along with some other kids decide to leave the world.

 

However, during that process, all of those kids are killed by Vampires and only Yuu manages to make it out.

 

Now, when he gets out of this world, he realizes that the entire humanity isn’t gone and instead, he has the chance to take revenge.

 

Now with the intent to take revenge on the vampires who killed his ‘Family’, Yuu joins the side of the humans.

 

However, the activities these humans are performing may be much darker than we think. The appeal of Seraph Of The End is its likable characters and great fights.

 

The emotional weight and emphasized the idea of ‘Family’ are also placed beautifully. I feel this one would be a great addition to your watchlist.

The Irregular At Magic High School is a 26-episode TV series that aired back in 2014.

 

It was adapted by Studio Madhouse. The original light novel was written by Satou Tsutomu and illustrated by Ishida Kana.

 

The anime is set in a world where magic is not mythical anymore. Instead, magic has become a skill and a technical skill with that.

 

To become a great magician, one takes admission to First High School which provides education about magic.

 

The courses are, however, divided into 2 segments. The first one is known as ‘Blooms’, which is a group that has students with really great scores.

 

And then there are ‘Weeds’ who are students who aren’t that good performers. Blooms get enrolled in the first course while weeds get involved in the second course.

 

The siblings Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba took the entrance exam of First High School. Now Miyuki managed to get a spot in the first score.

 

However, Tatsuya didn’t. Even though Tatsuya didn’t have such an incredible score on the practical exam, his physical abilities and extensive knowledge are exceptional.

 

This makes him an irregular individual. Thus, the name, The irregular at magic high school.

 

The anime is not only fun to watch but the protagonist is badass. If you like your Overpowered protagonist group then you should take a look at this amazing series.

Wouldn’t I say, it’s been a while since we had our last seinen anime on this list?

 

And this time, we have a horror one. Oh yeah! Seems exciting right? Well, it is.

 

After all, it’s Ajin. Ajin is a 13-episode TV series that aired back in 2016.

 

The anime is adapted from a recognized manga. The manga was written and illustrated by Sakurai Gamon.

 

The story is about a mysterious species of humans known as ‘Ajin’. Ajins are immortal beings that just can’t be defeated.

 

They are not classified as humans and therefore, they are taken into custody right when they show up.

 

Like, for if they see Ajin, he is bound to be locked. My man Kei Nagai isn’t interested in Ajin.

 

He doesn’t have much knowledge on that subject although he wishes to be a doctor.

 

The very little information that he has is all thanks to the news. However, his ignorance toward Ajin turns out to be a nightmare.

 

Kei himself had the misfortune of being a part of an accident and rebirth as an Ajin.

 

Now since he is an Ajin now, he is bound to be under custody. Therefore, he fights with all his will to overcome this system and stay free.

 

However, as he tries to do so, he realizes that the people of his new kind aren’t as rare as he thinks.

 

If you are a fan of some good horror stuff that can put a scar on you then yeah, Ajin should be your watch.

 

It has somewhat of a similar narrative as Kabaneri of the iron fortress. So if you liked that, you would probably like this as well.

The web manga was written by Sandrovich Yabako and illustrated by Daromeon. The anime was animated by Larx Entertainment.

 

The story is set in the Edo period when the wealthy have a different approach.

 

You see, normally we use words to resolve problems among businesses and merchants. However, here at Kengan Ashura, that’s not the case.

 

Talk? We don’t do that here! In this world, solutions to disputes take place using Gladiators.

 

The stronger gladiator would be the one who would be favored. It’s not who is correct logically, but rather who is stronger.

 

In other words, strength makes the facts. Ouma Tokita is a gladiator trying to make his name.

 

He wishes to be the best and gets hired by Hideki Nogi. Nogi is a member of the Nogi group and appoints Tokita as his gladiator.

 

He also appoints Kazuo Yamashita as the manager for his work. Now together, this duo of Tokita and Kazuo fights others with the aid of the Kengan Association.

 

The question is, ‘Can They Be The Best?’. You have to see for yourself man.

 

Just like Baki, Kengan Ashura has amazing fights that would give you goosebumps all along.

 

Any action anime fan just can’t ignore this series.

That’s right, we are going to talk about one of the best ecchi anime out there, High School DxD.

 

This 12-episode TV series aired back in 2012. It is an anime adaptation of a light novel.

 

The light novel was written and illustrated by Ishibumi Ichiei. The story is about Issei Hyodou who would seem like the King Of Perversion to us.

 

This man is the reincarnation of lust and loves nothing but females. His luck starts when he gets into a school where the number of boys is lower than the number of girls.

 

Issei and his friends consider this school, heaven and seek a harem for themselves. However, their attitude doesn’t allow them to have even a single girlfriend.

 

Luckily, Issei does end up getting a girl from another school. However, his luck runs out when that girl turns out to be a fallen angel and kills Issei.

 

She says that he has a ‘Weapon’ that needs to be disposed of. However, this is not where Issei’s story is ending.

 

He is then reincarnated in the same world as a devil. He is the same person other than the fact that he is now a demon.

 

This life-saving act was performed by the President of the Occult Research Club, Rias Gremory.

 

She enslaves Issei and recruits him into her peerage. Now the Gremory peerage performs tasks to aid humans and provide their services.

 

Issei becomes a part of that peerage and meets new girls every single time. A heaven for him.

 

However, why was Issei executed in the first place and what is that ‘Weapon’? Well, you have to find yourself.

 

High School DxD is a classic for the ecchi fans. Its fun and humorous tone is complemented well by its action and emotional drama.

 

If you like your ecchi and you haven’t watched High School DxD, you are missing out man!

After. However, later on, these boys parted ways and didn’t meet again. That was until high school when our boys unite again.

 

But this union isn’t as optimistic as you think it would be. The thing is, Rin has started to envy Nanase and claims that he doesn’t want things to go back to what they used to.

 

He wants to defeat Nanase and prove that he is a better swimmer. This idea leaves a bitter mark on their reunion.

 

Now Nagisa, Makoto, and Nanase decide to form a swimming club. However, they need a 4th member to participate in competitions.

 

That is where Rei Ryuugazaki comes into play. He was a former member of the track club and Nagisa recruited him.

Gambling can be a risky thing to do but how much? How much can a player lose in a game of cards?

 

Can they lose their money, their clothes, or even more? Maybe gambling can take someone’s life as well.

 

And if you think that such a thought is somewhat irrational, wait until you watch Kakegurui.

 

Kalegurui is a 12-episode gambling anime that hit the TV back in 2016. It is an anime adaptation of a Manga.

 

The manga was written by Homura Kawamoto and illustrated by Naomura Tooru. The story is set in a high school named Hyakkaou Private Academy where the students are trained much differently than you would expect.

 

Yup, an important part of their curriculum is Gambling because of its unpredictable nature. Just like in real life, a lot of your actions lead you on a journey.

 

Whether that journey is good or not is secondary. What happens first is your gamble on a decision.

 

To understand such a gamble and to be prepared for the real world, the school promotes this activity.

 

If you are good at gambling, you are the king of this school. If you aren’t, you are pathetic.

 

That’s how it goes. However, significant changes occur when Yumeko Jabami joins this academy. She might seem like a normal high school girl but deep down, she is a hardcore gambler who fears no losses.

 

In this school where your bets decide your life, will Yumeko bring a stop to all the discrimination?

 

Or will she become a part of this system? This anime is popular, especially in the gambling setting.

 

If you wanted to watch the idea of a gamble in anime format then this anime would be a good start.

First up, we have Shizuku. She is just your typical shy high school girl who lacks social interactions and only cares about studies.

 

Friendship or relationship is something that she can’t comprehend. However, the way she looks at high school changes once she meets Haru.

 

My man Haru is a vicious menace that stopped visiting school because of a fight.

 

Even though they both might seem different on the surface, they are alike concerning their social skills.

 

Funnily enough, Haru confesses to Shizuku during their meeting and they both get together. Now Shizuku, being the shy girl she is, is unable to understand the type of relationship she is in.

 

Bonds develop, feelings get stronger, and minds open up as Haru and Shizuku spend time with each other.

 

Together, they understand how feelings and emotions work. If you are a fan of shoujo anime that gives off such cute and wholesome vibes then My Little Monster could please you. Have a great time.

The pain of not being able to be with your true love. For Hanabi, her true love has always been Narumi Kanai, her childhood friend in her neighborhood.

 

Never has she ever felt for anyone else except him. However, reality shocks her with the fact that Narumi is his homeroom teacher now.

 

The wound grows even wider when Hanabi realizes that Narumi also happens to be in a happy relationship with Akane Minagawa, the music teacher.

 

If we talk about Mugi, he has always looked at Akane with a heart in his eye.

 

However, her relationship with Narumi hits him harder than a truck. Therefore, these two broken hearts meet each other by accident and begin a new journey.

 

A journey to overcome their loneliness by seeking pleasure in one another. Physical relationships grow as they find themselves deep in the hole of despair.

Anime fans who started just recently would have heard about it. One of the most popular Isekai of all time, is Sword Art Online.

 

Sword Art Online is a 25-episode TV anime that aired back in 2012. It is an anime adaptation of its light novel sister.

 

The light novel was written by Kawahara Reki and illustrated by BUNBUN. This anime from A-1 pictures revolves around a guy named Kirito and his journey in Aincrad.

 

What is Aincrad you may be thinking? Well, Aincrad is the Virtual Reality world my boy is stuck in.

 

Let me explain. The anime is set in 2022 when technology has reached new heights.

 

The advancements are not only amazing but seem somewhat unrealistic. However, they are indeed true.

 

One such advancement is ‘NerveGear’ technology. NerveGear tech allows you to control your character in a game using nothing but your mind.

 

Yup, just like in real life, you can control and command your entire body just by using your brain.

 

Seems interesting, doesn’t it? Well, my boy Kirito, a hardcore gamer, also felt super excited when he first started playing a game called Sword Art Online.

 

This game was an exclusive distribution and Kirito managed to get his hands on one of its copies.

 

However, upon logging in, to the world, he realized that he can’t log out or quit the game.

 

Truth hits him harder than a truck when he realizes that the creator of this game has tricked them (players) to stay in this game until they complete it.

 

The problem is, this world of Aincrad has multiple fights and conflicts going on. To complete the game, Kirito must survive through all 100 levels.

 

However, if he dies in this game, he would be dead in real life. That’s right!

 

His life depended upon that game and one wrong move can lead him to God.

 

Will Kirito be able to wake up alive? This anime made an impact when it first aired and people liked it a lot.

 

Being one of the recognized Isekais, Sword Art Online offers an interesting and attractive premise that any teenager would fall for.

How did he get that name? Well, he was a Yokuza, and an incredibly strong one with that.

 

I know, not his name seems understandable. Anyway, my man Tatsu was a Yakuza who was feared by his rivals as well as the police.

 

Someone who was looked upon as the strongest Yakuza out there. However, one day, his existence was erased.

 

No, he wasn’t killed actually but rather, he disappeared. Later on, he showed up again to his acquaintances but this time, he is a bit different.

 

A bit too different. The Yakuza that feared the entire underworld is now a House Husband.

 

Yeah, a freaking househusband! But this stupidity just doesn’t stop here. Oh No No! His gangster background brings more trouble into his life than he already has.

 

Moreover, the act of slaughtering people is replaced with the act of slaughtering chickens for a tasty dish.

 

His new life is filled with daily life chores that may not seem to be much of a hitch but his criminal background just keeps the idiocy going!

 

I assume that you are one of those who likes to laugh. And if you do, I am certain that this anime would be a great watch for you this evening.

Vinland Saga is one of the best anime that you can watch ever. And that’s why, if you have a Netflix subscription then this is a show that you shouldn’t miss out on under any circumstances.
