So recently I had an anime watch party and we were browsing anime to watch and I came across Pluto. Admittedly I’m only 2 episodes in but so far it’s SO solid. And I’m just surprised I had never heard of it and it came out 3 years ago. Especially since it’s a reimagining of Astroboy and everyone’s heard of that…
Another one I had surprisingly never heard of but so far seems solid is Level E written by Yoshihiro Togashi. My favorite anime is YYH and I loved HxH so how come I hadn’t heard of Level E until now? Again, only 2 episodes in but seems legitimately good and it’s by a wildly successful creator.
What’s an anime you didn’t expect much of because it seems lesser known, but turns out to be very good? I mean like, not only do u like it but ur surprised the general public - casual anime fans aren’t aware of it.
Charlotte - story about a guy with a weak power to take control of people for just a few seconds. Since it’s weak he uses it ro cheat on tests and convince his crush to like him. Others with powers find him to make him not to abuse his power. Its a subtle slice of life anime the builds into a great story with some of the best character growth I’ve seen.
Heavenly delusion - horror anime aboutbtwonkids in the aftermath of an apocalypse where monsters roam, and they’re trying to find an old school. At the same time there’s a strange school with mutated kids all being taught by robots and doctors watch them constantly. Its very interesting sci-fi based on this Buddhist idea that heaven exists right in front of your nose, but disappears if you look elsewhere. Does have a scene of SA. Im waiting for the second season.
