Just pick one that you think would fit your tastes the most.
Just getting into anime and unsure where to start from? Perhaps you saw some series as a kid on TV and want to go back to anime?
Regardless, you have probably heard of Crunchyroll, which is often said to be the best anime streaming service out there. Here are 5 series you can find there that will help you get into anime.
Jujutsu Kaisen is the most talked about thing right now. The hype is fully justified: the high-paced action, an intriguing power system and a cast of memorable characters. The series is perfect even if you aren’t familiar with any other anime.
The amazing animation — especially that of S2 — elevates the anime above many of its other peers. An abundance of dynamic fights means you probably won’t get bored at any point. Just don’t forget to watch the prequel movie between the seasons — it’s somewhat important. The third season is on its way, so now is the perfect time to get into the series.
Even if you haven’t seen any anime, you’ve probably at least heard of Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin). The anime has attracted millions of fans worldwide, introducing them to anime.
Across multiple seasons, Attack on Titan shifts genres several times. While the result ended up being somewhat controversial, it is still incredibly interesting to watch — and the status of a modern classic means the anime is relevant even though it has already ended.
If you think giants like Naruto and One Piece are too long for you — and understandably so, as the latter has over a thousand episodes — but still want a dynamic adventure with a protagonist trying to achieve a clear goal, the 2011 Hunter x Hunter might be perfect for you.
It is still pretty long (just under 150 episodes), but the journey is absolutely worth it. Don’t worry about the manga still being unfinished: the mangaka even admitted that the point where the anime stopped is a good way to end the series.
If you want something closer to real life, but still desire tension and action scenes, you might want to look into the sports genre. Haikyuu!! is the prime modern example of sports anime, with many characters who you could root for.
What makes Haikyuu!! so popular, besides its well-developed cast and great animation, is just how easy it is to watch. Volleyball is a sport that is very easy to understand and get into, and you need no prior knowledge before starting the series.
Kaguya-sama: Love is War
Want something less action-y and more dialogue-focused? Romantic comedies might be up your alley. Perhaps the most popular one nowadays is Kaguya-sama: Love is War (Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen).
The battle of wits between the two geniuses who don’t want to be first to confess is actually hilarious, and the other cast members are great in their own regard.
What makes the anime so good is how well-done both romantic and comedic aspects of it are. The visual direction is also very innovative, and the voice acting is great: however, if you can’t get into the Japanese version, you can try the dub, which is often said to be just as good.
