Don’t Know What to Watch? Watch These 5 Non-Mainstream Anime

A couple of series you might have missed.

If you’re looking for a new series to watch and you’re tired of people suggesting you try Jujutsu Kaisen or Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba), we get it. And we’re here with some suggestions of series that are not so widely popular, but are still worth your time.

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

Do you remember when Squid Game was super popular a couple of years ago? Back then, a few people mentioned that Kaiji was similar to the series. While they’re not the same, there are really a couple of similarities. Kaiji Itou doesn’t have much money, so when the loan sharks come to collect the debt, he’s forced to board a ship with a promise that a night on it will solve all of his debts. However, this is going to become an experience that he’ll never forget.

2. Tomodachi Game

Speaking of Squid Game… This anime might also resemble the series a lot. Yuuichi Katagiri cherishes his friendships the most, but when the school trip money gets stolen, Yuuichi and his friends are forced to play a game that will challenge their bonds. There is a traitor among them, and now he has to find out who they are, while playing games that are trying to shatter their friendship every step of the way.

3. Akudama Drive

Cyberpunk setting and an astonishing picture are the first two things that you need to know about Akudama Drive. The anime is an absolute beauty! Akudama are the most dangerous and ruthless criminals. Due to an unfortunate incident, a girl becomes an akudama, Swindler, and she gets dragged into a challenging and intricate mission along with several other akudama. Will the team of the most frightening criminals learn how to work together and get their prize? Watch the anime to find out.

4. Dororo

It’s practically a crime that Dororo didn’t receive the attention it deserved. The anime follows Hyakkimaru, whose father made a deal with demons in exchange for his son’s body parts. Despite not having such things as limbs, skin and even the nervous system, the boy survives. And now he wants to hunt the demons that stole from him and reclaim his body parts. What does it have to do with a cute little thief named Dororo? We can’t tell.

5. Heavenly Delusion (Tengoku Daimakyou)

A disaster completely destroyed modern civilization, allowing human-eating monsters to roam free. Fifteen years later, a group of children live in a facility isolated from the outside world. One day they find out about the world existing outside their shelter, and they can’t help but be curious. Meanwhile, there are two people traveling the outside world in search of a special place called Heaven. But if you want to find out if they’re headed for success, you have to watch the series.
