The Best Anime Shows To Stream On Netflix

We have seen plenty of characters that are O.P. (Over Powered) but none like Saitama. He is literally a character that has one punch power (hence the name) and that has left him feeling unchallenged in the world. This comedy really does well with showing the psyche of a hero who can never feel properly threatened by villains which leave him feeling empty and unsatisfied. It will be sure to give you plenty of laughs and the action is sure to please even if it ends in one punch.

So unfortunately there’s 1 season on Netflix as of now but most likely it's because the rights are split up amongst other streaming providers and Netflix got the short end. That being said, I still recommend getting your feet wet with this amazing anime. Currently, it is on its final season so there's no better time to watch this anime for its first season ad-free and then maybe hop on over to Crunchyroll to finish it off for free with a few ad breaks in the middle. The world is set in a post-apocalyptic world where Humanoid Giants called Titans roam the island of Paradis and terrorize its people. After suffering a tragedy a young Eren Jaeger vows his vengeance and starts his journey on defeating these man-eating monsters. It’s gruesome and shocking and will leave you wanting more. Do yourself a favor and start this now.

It’s an easy show to get through seeing that it’s only one season but delivers on some great storytelling and amazing animation for its time.

This show embodies basically everything that anime was for me growing up: amazing animations and brutal gore.

Players soon discover that not only are they unable to log out, but the only way they can return to their physical bodies is by beating the 100-level tower's final boss.

Yet another classic anime that should be on your watch list, about a young girl who falls into a well and is transported back in time to the Sengoku era of Japan.
