Five Animes on Netflix You Need to Watch

A guide to starting your anime viewing career

Five Animes on Netflix You Need to Watch
From FMA: Brotherhood

I can't speak for good anime titles on Amazon but there's are a good bunch of amazing shows on Netflix. Narrowing it down to three choices is a little too strict for me, so here are five of my recommendations for animes to watch.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

Two brothers' emotional journey filled to the brim with likeable characters and an immersive world that manages to suck you in with the homely steampunk vibe that it gives off. I guarantee you will be attached to a handful of characters during your watch session.

Psycho-Pass

A dark, drab world filled with crime and a mechanical system is the judge for your sins. There's a lot of thinking with this series, so be prepared to ponder over what questions are posed to you when you watch. It really makes you think about society as a whole. Plus, it's cyberpunk, so the soundtrack and the visuals are really amazing.

Death Note

An amazing crime thriller/suspense all centered around the power of a single notebook. There's a lot of scenes in it that'll bring you to the edge of your seat, mostly because the show does a good job at making you want to see how characters get out of sticky situations. There's also a handful of twists and turns and people getting outsmarted so get ready for that.

Samurai Champloo

Three unlikely buddies go on a journey across feudal Japan. Trust me, this show is really fun to watch. There's a good hip-hop soundtrack to it, the humor is good, all the main characters are charming and even though there's many elements to the story that seem out of place, it's the show's eclectic nature that makes it very engaging.

Kill la Kill

Over the top action combined with over the top characters alongside a healthy dosage of fan service. Yeah, the fan service might throw you off, but rest assured, everything about KLK works to its advantage. It's how they utilize ridiculousness and use that to mold its characters into likable people. By the end, you'll be attached to both heroes and villains. The soundtrack is also godly.

Special mention: Hunter x Hunter

I'm currently following this on Cartoon Network/Toonami but I love it so far. There's a nice feeling of innocence to the show. I don't think you can't not adore the main cast. They're really relatable in the sense that I want to see them succeed so that's a huge plus in my eyes.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
