I don't watch much anime. In fact, a lot of people are often surprised when they realize how few series I've actually watched, because typically, I'll only watch the popular titles that everybody knows. However, although I'm a pretty casual anime fan, I do believe that whether you're an anime fan yourself or not, there are several anime series you should watch. The people who absolutely despise anime likely aren't reading this, so this article is primarily directed to those of you who have heard of anime, considered maybe watching some, but don't really know where to start or which series to watch. Below are some of the most popular anime series that I truly believe anybody can enjoy. To those of you who've seen the following series or that are avid anime fans, let me know what you think. Do you agree with my recommendations?

Anyways, without further ado... let us begin!

1) Attack on Titan

About one hundred years ago, out of nowhere, mankind came face to face with a new formidable enemy, titans, which forced them to retreat behind 50 meter walls in an attempt to survive. The motives of these man-eating beasts are unknown and how they came to be remains a mystery too. The story kicks off with the walls that had kept humanity safe from harms way for over a century, collapsing. As a result, titans flood into the city, devouring everything in their path of destruction.

Eren Yeager, the protagonist in "Attack on Titan," lost almost everything the day the titans broke through Wall Maria and overtook his home. The anime revolves around his journey after he vows to kill every last titan.

Many people are often introduced to anime through "Attack on Titan." I myself more or less was. The series is both intense and terrifying and will have you clinging to the edge of your seat throughout the entirety of the series.

2) Death Note

"Death Note" is revered by many as among one of the best anime's of all time because of how twisted and suspenseful the story is throughout the entirety of the series. In a world overseen by 'Gods of Death' or else known as 'Shinigami' in the series, out of boredom one decides to drop their death note into the mortal world for entertainment. The death note is a dangerous tool in which can kill anybody, so long as whomever possesses the death note knows the name of the individual they want dead.

Light Yagami, the protagonist throughout this series is the one who happens upon the death note on the ground one day and discovers its true power. As a genius and ambitious young man, Light takes it upon himself to cleanse the world of evil and becomes a sort of "God" of justice in the mortal world.

"Death Note" is another series like "Attack on Titan," that will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout the whole series. The many twists and turns in the story will have you binge watching this anime until you've finished it.

3) Studio Ghibli

You may have heard of the name Miyazaki whether or not you're familiar with anime and the company he created called Studio Ghibli in 1985. If you haven't, there's a good chance you may have then heard of some of the studio's masterpieces such as "Princess Mononoke" or "Spirited Away." If you've never heard any of those either, then take a look into the many great movies this studio has released, for each tell a fascinating tale that I can almost guarantee you will enjoy and appreciate whether or not you've ever watched much anime.

Although the list above was fairly short, if you haven't seen any of what I provided above, whether or not you've watched anime before, I encourage you check them out. Personally, I don't watch much anime myself, however, I was nonetheless able to fully appreciate the masterpieces in anime history above. If you have, let me know if you agree with me. Do you guys revere the anime's above as among the best nowadays too?
