For any fan building a foundation, these three series are non-negotiable. They dominated the 2000s and early 2010s.

Sometimes you don't want fighting. Here are popular anime series broken down by specific moods.

Anime: Attack on Titan
Why watch? A masterpiece of foreshadowing and moral complexity. Humanity lives inside walled cities to escape man-eating Titans. What begins as a desperate fight for survival evolves into a devastating exploration of war, trauma, and cycle of hatred. The final season delivers one of the most talked-about endings in modern anime.

Manga: Chainsaw Man
Why read? Tatsuki Fujimoto’s wild, violent, and surprisingly heartfelt story follows Denji, a teen who merges with his pet devil-dog to become Chainsaw Man. The manga’s rough, cinematic paneling and unpredictable plot twists make it a thrill to read. The anime covers only the first arc—the manga continues into even stranger territory.

Anime: Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation
Why watch? The grandfather of modern isekai. A NEET dies and is reborn as a baby in a fantasy world, vowing to live a better life. The animation is gorgeous, the magic system detailed, and the character growth (flawed, uncomfortable, but real) is central. Note: Contains mature themes and questionable early behavior—not for younger viewers.

Manga: The Beginning After the End
Why read? Originally a web novel, now a popular manhwa (Korean manga). A powerful king is reincarnated as a baby in a new world. Unlike many isekai, the focus is on political intrigue, family bonds, and a genuinely smart protagonist who has to grow up again. The art is stunning, and the story gets surprisingly dark.

Anime: Jujutsu Kaisen
Why watch? Incredible fight choreography, fluid animation by MAPPA, and a modern supernatural twist. Follow Yuji Itadori as he swallows a cursed object—the finger of the most powerful Curse in history—and joins a secret organization of Jujutsu sorcerers. Dark, fast-paced, and stylish.

Manga: One Piece
Why read? It’s the best-selling manga of all time for a reason. Eiichiro Oda’s pirate epic blends world-building, emotional backstories, and long-running mysteries. While the anime is iconic (but long), the manga moves quicker and preserves the original art's energetic detail. Start from Chapter 1—you won’t regret the journey.
