Is An Anime Worth Watching? Look Below!

This page was originally made to highlight upcoming anime. As I can't do nearly as good of a job as the other, bigger blogs and new sites, I'm going to list my anime rankings here. I score these on a Watch/Don't Watch scale.  That is the point of this blog after all!

Attack on Titan Season 1

Attack on Titan Season 1

Attack on Titan Season 1

Attack on Titan Season 1

The first season of Attack on Titan is epic. It's a change of pace for those used to typical shonen anime. Can humanity survive the threat of the titans? It sure doesn't seem like it.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch. Just be prepared for some disturbing images.

Attack on Titan Season 2

Attack on Titan Season 1

Attack on Titan Season 1

Attack on Titan Season 2

This is the season of Attack on Titan where we get the reveal of who the Colossal and Armored Titans are. This is a very emotional season and I think it does a great job in showing the difficulty of stress on mental health.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch. It has the same warning for disturbing images as Season 1.

Attack on Titan Season 3

Attack on Titan Season 1

Attack on Titan Season 3

Attack on Titan Season 3

In my opinion, Attack on Titan season 3 gave us the best fight of the anime in the Battle of Shiganshina. So much was sacrificed in order to learn the secrets kept in Eren's basement. If you're a fan of Attack on Titan then don't miss season 3!


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch. Same warning as the other two seasons.

BLAME!

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 1

Berserk: The Golden Egg Arc

This anime is just OK.  I'm not a fan of CGI. The dialogue suffers because of it. When the characters talk the words never match up with the lip motions. I can't get over stuff like that. The story is not bad. There's plenty of action and suspense. If you like post-apocalyptic stories you'll find this one to be decent.


Watch/Don't Watch?

Either. If you like this type of story you'll be entertained. If not don't feel bad for passing it.

Berserk: The Golden Egg Arc

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 1

Berserk: The Golden Egg Arc

This one's not my favorite. I'd recommend that if you do watch this then you know what you're getting into. There's tons of violence and gore in this anime. CGI is always a turn off for me but this one wasn't as bad as what I've seen in other anime. Still, I feel like Berserk could've done better.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch - with conditions

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 1

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 1

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 1

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Yes! Oh my goodness yes!  This was the blog's first episode-by-episode review and it was refreshing to watch through this season again. You'll fall in love with the story of Tanjiro and Nezuko. Tanjiro is probably one of the most genuinely friendly characters in all of anime.


Watch/Don't Watch

Definitely Watch

Fire Force Season 2

Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 1

Fire Force

Fire Force Season 2 has been a little up and down.  Overall I'd say this anime season is worth watching. It definitely picks up after the half-way point. We get to see some new, interesting abilities from both the White-clad and Fire Force members. I've enjoyed it.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch

Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown

Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown

Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown

Goblin Slayer: Gobin's Crown

Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown is worth watching. Be prepared for more Goblin Slayer action though. That means tons of violence, both from Goblin Slayer and the goblins. If you liked season one of the anime then you'll like this anime movie.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch - With conditions

God of High School Season 1

Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown

Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown

The God of High School

If you haven't watched this anime then you probably don't need to start it unless you're almost out of options. The story is weak and all over the place. God of High School attempts to cover it up with tons of action but it falls flat due to a lack of emotion behind it. 


Watch/Don't Watch

Don't Watch

Golden Kamuy Season 1

Grave of the Fireflies

Grave of the Fireflies

Golden Kamuy

Yes. Golden Kamuy Season 1 is worth watching. Oh man, this one is wild, literally. This is not an anime for the weak-of-heart as there's tons of intense action and at least one very disturbing taxidermist. The story is strong and you'll be get wrapped up in it before you know it.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch

Grave of the Fireflies

Grave of the Fireflies

Grave of the Fireflies

Grave of the Fireflies

Grave of the Fireflies is a fantastic anime movie. Just make sure to have a box of tissues near by when you watch this one. This look at life in Japan during the closing stages of WWII is difficult to watch but it's masterfully done.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch

Haikyu!! Season 1

Grave of the Fireflies

Haikyu!! Season 1

Haikuu!!

The Karasuno volleyball team is the center of this anime. First years Hinata and Kageyama help bring life to a team that has seen better days. Haikyu!! is exciting, funny, and a must see!


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch

Haikyuu Season 2

Haikyuu To the Top (Season 4)

Haikyuu Season 2

image1103

 Karasuno is back for their second season. This time the team prepares for Spring Nationals. The same humor and action that we saw in the first season. Season 2 builds on what Season 1 started.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch 

Haikyuu Season 3

Haikyuu To the Top (Season 4)

Haikyuu Season 2

image1104

This season is a little bit shorter. It covers the finals of the Spring National Prelims. Karasuno is up against powerhouse Shiratorizawa. This season is all about what happens on the court. There's no training, there's no goofy stuff happening outside the court, it's all about the volleyball. By the end of it you'll feel as exhausted as the players on the court.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch 

Haikyuu To the Top (Season 4)

Haikyuu To the Top (Season 4)

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? III

image1105

What more do I have to say about Haikyuu at this point? There's more training and lots of tense matches. Karasuno kicks off the Spring National tournament with a couple of match ups against quality opponents, one of them being the runner up of the Inter-high tournament.

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? III

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? III

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? III

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? III - Bell Cranel meets Weine

This twelve episode anime season is a bit different than the previous two. We now know what would happen if monsters were found that had intelligence. We'd get twelve episodes of action and intrigue that, once done, would put us back in the same place as we started. The ending is a little anti-climactic but it's still an entertaining anime season. I'll take the first two seasons over this one.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch - I liked the first two seasons better

Mob Psycho 100 Season 1

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? III

My Hero Academia Season 1

image1106

 Shigeo Kageyama aka "Mob" is just a middle school boy who's not all that outstanding, except for one thing. Mob is an insanely powerful Psychic. Not wanting his powers to be the sole aspect that defines him, Mob works to become popular all on his own.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch 

My Hero Academia Season 1

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? III

My Hero Academia Season 1

image1107

The first season of My Hero Academia is a great start to this anime's story. It's the beginning of Izuku Midoriya's journey to become the world's #1 hero. The quirkless boy meets his idol and inherits his power. This is a great anime that will appeal  to most.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch 

Neon Genesis Evangelion

One Piece: East Blue to Alabasta

Neon Genesis Evangelion

image1108

 This is probably where I'm going to make some people angry. Neon Genesis Evangelion is a different take at the Mecha genre. For all of the great action there's a story here that I did not find all that appealing. The ending was a disappointment as well.


Watch/Don't Watch

Only watch if you're a hardcore fan of anime 

Noblesse Season 1

One Piece: East Blue to Alabasta

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Noblesse Anime - Raizel

Nobles are beings who seemingly live forever and have super human powers. They've existed through history, helping guide humanity. Cardis Etrama Di Raizel is the main character in this anime that follows his adjustment to modern society. Noblesse has some great moments and is overall an enjoyable anime to watch. I really liked the humor of watching Raizel try to learn how to fit in with modern society.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch

One Piece: East Blue to Alabasta

One Piece: East Blue to Alabasta

One Piece: East Blue to Alabasta

 The first 130+ episodes of One Piece sets the stage for this massive anime giant. We get to watch Monkey D. Luffy as he recruits his crew and starts his journey to become the pirate king. It's fun to go back and look at these episodes.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch 

Ouran High School Host Club

Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers

Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers

Ouran High School Host Club

Haruhi Fujioka accidentally knocks over an expensive vase, breaking it. This forces her to work to pay off her debt to the Ouran High School Host Club. As it turns out, this is a blessing in disguise as Haruhi is a natural at hosting the girls of the high school. A lot of over the top, ridiculous situations occur in this anime and it's a lot of fun to watch them all.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch

Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers

Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers

Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers

Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers

This is probably the most random anime on the list so far. Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers follows a group of warriors who are selected to fight against the Demon God. 


Watch/Don't Watch

Either. It's neither bad nor good.

Soul Eater

Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers

Sword Art Online: Alicization

Soul Eater

Death runs a school that trains meisters and their weapons to hunt down corrupted souls. The goal is to turn the weapon into a Death Scythe, a weapon worthy of Death to use. This Halloween themed anime is unique in its art style and something out of the ordinary.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch. This would especially be good around Halloween.

Sword Art Online: Alicization

The Irregular at Magic High School

Sword Art Online: Alicization

Sword Art Online: Alicization

Kirito is at it again. This time he's in the Underworld, testing out a new type of full-dive technology. The development of the AI inherent in the world forces Kirito into a life or death struggle in a virtual world yet again. You'd think he'd give up the virtual world by this point.


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch

The End Of Evangelion

The Irregular at Magic High School

The Irregular at Magic High School

The End of Evangelion

This anime movie is basically a redo of the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion. If you didn't really enjoy Neon Genesis Evangelion then this movie will not be your first choice in anime. This is for really hardcore anime fans.


Watch/Don't Watch

I won't be watching this again. You can take it or leave it.

The Irregular at Magic High School

The Irregular at Magic High School

The Irregular at Magic High School

The Irregular at Magic High School

Siblings Tatsuya and Miyuki enroll at the prestigious First High School. Miyuki is recognized as exceptional while Tatsuya is not. In reality, Tatsuya's abilities are so unique and powerful they don't lend themselves to the entrance exams.  Did I mention that they're magicians?


Watch/Don't Watch

Watch

The Misfit of Demon King Academy

The Misfit of Demon King Academy

The Misfit of Demon King Academy

The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Anos Voldigoad is the Demon King of Tyranny reincarnated after 2,000 years. What he finds when he comes back is a history that's been altered to forget him. Nothing can stand in his way as he finds out the truth.


Watch/Don't Watch

Either. It's not bad but you won't miss anything special by skipping this one.

Vampire Hunter D

The Misfit of Demon King Academy

The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Vampire Hunter D

D, the half-human, half-vampire vampire hunter gets involved with a girl who's been bitten by the resident vampire lord. He fights off ghouls, mutants, and eventually the vampire himself in order to make sure she's safe.


Watch/Don't Watch

Either. This is an old anime movie and it shows its age. 

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust

The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Yu Yu Hakusho Spirit Detective Saga

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust

D is back for another hunt. This time he's contracted to bring back a young woman who was taken by a vampire. It turns out she went of her own free will. A different vampire turns out to be the real enemy. There's plenty of fighting, ghouls, and supernatural powers in this anime movie.

Yu Yu Hakusho Spirit Detective Saga

Yu Yu Hakusho Spirit Detective Saga

Yu Yu Hakusho Spirit Detective Saga

Yu Yu Hakusho

Yusuke is a delinquent with a golden heart. He dies trying to save a kid from getting run over by a car only to find out the kid would've been just fine if he'd done nothing. Allowed to come back from the dead, Yusuke becomes a Spirit Detective. He now has to track down and fight demons who mean to cause harm to the human world. This anime is full of snarky humor and good fights!
