5 Best Seinen Anime to Watch on Crunchyroll in 2024

It’s not just Vinland Saga, there’s more.

If you’ve already finished all of your favorite shounens and are looking for something targeted at a more mature audience, these series will become your saviors.

  1. Hellsing

 - image 1

This anime will definitely surprise and charm you with how brutal it is, but it wouldn’t be a seinen one otherwise.

Alucard is the most powerful weapon of Hellsing, an organization trying to exterminate the evil creatures terrorizing people. Despite hunting vampires, Alucard is one of them himself.

When he encounters a mortally wounded police officer, Seras, he offers her a choice: die or live on as a vampire. She chooses life, but can’t avoid the struggles that come with this choice.

  1. Erased (Boku dake ga Inai Machi)

Satoru (no, not Gojo) has an ability to travel back in time to prevent incidents. His time-traveling ability is usually limited by a couple of minutes, but everything changes when he finds himself having traveled 18 years in the past, to his school self’s body.

Now he has to try to save the girl who was killed around that time, solve the murder mysteries and find the elusive killer.

  1. Parasyte: The Maxim (Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu)

 - image 3

Hideous parasitic aliens have arrived. They can take over human bodies and use this clever pretense to wreak havoc.

One of such parasites tries to take over Shinichi in his sleep, but the boy wakes up, and the mission is failed. Now the parasite is capable of controlling only Shinichi’s right hand, and these two are forced to coexist. Will they hate each other or is there a chance for a peculiar bond?

  1. Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor (Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor)

 - image 4

Kaiji is pressured by loan sharks to settle the large sum of cash, but there’s only one issue: he has no money. He can’t run and hide, so he has just one choice: to get the money any way possible.

Kaiji is given an offer to board a giant ship, where, as he’s told, he will get the chance to earn some money to pay the debt. And now he will have to play bizarre games to succeed.

  1. Kaguya-sama: Love is War (Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen)

 - image 5

Why not also add some romance to our list? Not everything has to be about vampires, death and murder.

Miyuki and Kaguya are the student body's top representatives, who seem like a perfect match. And they both also know it, but there’s a small issue: they cannot confess their feelings for each other.

They chose to play mind games instead, and try to provoke each other to get the confession out.

It’s not just Vinland Saga, there’s more.
