Hey guys! it's been another amazing year for Anime.
Here are my picks for the top ten anime of the year! All of these are Anime series that I really enjoyed and they're definitely recommendations to everyone. Also you can find some of the best cartoons episodes here.
10: "Katanagatari" (2010)Centred on our two young and dynamic leads Shichika and Togame, one a fearsome swordsman without a sword, the other a cheerful strategist, both set out on a mission to gather twelve legendary katanas - but in order to do so must defeat their not-so-helpless owners.
Backed by a compelling romance, and with each episode a brilliantly self-contained arc, you will truly feel like you've been on a hero's journey.
9: "Drifters" (2016)Even if you're no expert on their past deeds, their unique characterisations and deadly talents for combat will have you riveted. Oh, and there elves, because every fantasy needs buxom elves in need of saving!
8: "Cowboy Bebop" (1998-99)With several self-contained episodes that sees the crew taking on dangerous bounties along with the overarching battle with the Red Dragon Syndicate, the fire fights, dry humour and extravagant combat - largely due to Spike's insane martial arts prowess and marksmanships skills - are sure to hit their mark.
7: "Kill la Kill" (2013-14)Each enemy is armed with uniforms that imbue them with superhuman abilities, and they're all led by one of anime's most badass ladies; Satsuki Kiryuin.
The result is a blend of the magical girl genre that never slows down for even a second, mixing together striking visuals with an unashamedly erotic edge as Ryuko's clashes against Satsuki literally light up the screen.
6: "Darker than Black" (2007-09)Along with a secret organisation known as the Syndicate throwing its hand in, the conflicts between opposing Contractors make up the bulk of the series, and given the range of their powers, battles can get pretty intense.
Oh, and it's all helmed by Hei aka The Black Reaper aka Chinese Electric Batman.
5: "Hunter x Hunter" (2011-14)The dynamics between the heroes certainly make for a good time, but where it really shines is its fight scenes. Take all your favourite anime tropes from tournament arcs, to insidious antagonist groups, and that one seemingly unstoppable antagonist, the series raises the bar with its superior storytelling and downright brutal fight scenes.
4: "Samurai Champloo" (2004-05)After all, nothing compliments intense sword fights more than hip hop. Focusing on an unlikely trio of polar opposites, the three set out on a less than peaceful journey to find the " samurai who smells like sunflowers."
Not shying away from violence all the while fully embracing its east-meets-west context, this is the ideal pick for those that enjoy the more artistic side to swordplay.
3: "One Piece" (1999-)Throw in the fact some battles are literal war scenes on an unprecedented scale, the sheer variety (and insanity) of enemies that Luffy must face down make for simply monstrous action.
2: "Dragon Ball Super" (2015-)
Why not Dragon Ball Z? Because everyone and their cat has watched that. So if we're making a suggestion here it'd be to check out this killer sequel.
Goku and his crew return, greeted to several new arcs that focuses on expanding the DB lore, all the while giving up plenty of new foes for them to let loose a Kamehameha at! Once you get past the movie recaps, you have some absolute gem arcs like the Universe 6 Tournament and the battle against an evil version of Goku. If you're not on it yet - GET ON IT.
1: "Black Lagoon" (2006)
The team's muscle comes in the form of Revy, a wild gunslinger who will shoot first and ask questions later. She might sound bad, but when your enemies could range from anything like remnants of the Third Reich or a pair of incestuous vampire twins, Revy and the rest of Lagoon look like saints. Saints who most certainly know how to bring the heat.
