And it has a unique plot a lot of anime don’t explore. Hyouka is one of Kyoto Animation’s best anime. One character: Eru Chitanda is extremely curious, and the other: Oreki is the mastermind. The main characters turn the silliest sh*t into mini investigations they all work together to uncover and find out the truth of. Except Hyouka makes those “boring” topics interesting and entertaining. Hyouka is a reflection of the boring things you can get up to in school. And with 2 seasons with a 3rd in need of adapting. Misunderstandings, daft humor, character progression, twists, it has it all. You have Tenma, who’s an air head, simple, but has a big heart and makes the comedy light up.Īnd there’s Harima, a manga artist who evolves from being a delinquent in his past life. Even now the comedy is still refreshing and the characters are legit. School Rumble is an old school classic by today’s standards. It takes a lot for an anime to force you to like it, regardless of how it starts and how the characters’ personalities fit into the plot. But the comedy, the feels, the story and how it develops are priceless. It’s the type of anime that has characters who will piss you off, and episodes that will raise your blood pressure. Later I came back to it and gave it another try, and haven’t regretted it ever since. The constant physical abuse from the main female character to the male character was irritating. Toradora is an anime I started out hating. No outrageous fan service, lewd episodes or dumb over the top humour that tries its best to make you laugh.Įverything flows naturally in Saiki K, and it’s special considering how clean it is in general.

But no one pays it any mind because he’s causing them not to with his abilities. The funny thing about this slice of life/comedy is Saiki K speaks telepathically, without once using his mouth. But one way or another people are drawn to him. It’s about a psychic who’s introverted and wants to be left alone to do his own thing. Saiki K is where I’ll start because I don’t know too many school anime that surpass it. Here are some anime I’ve watched that you should give a go for different reasons. With the school genre being one of the 5 or so biggest anime genres it’s no surprise. At least every season you can expect to see a new high school anime one way or another. I hope that anyone who gets the power of magic, with all its potential for death and decay, will look up to Madoka as someone who was born an ordinary person, but chose to be so much more because of her sheer sense of altruism.Īnd she chose to bring peace and hope with what she she’s been granted.High school anime shows are common. But I can assure you that Homura made the right choice. Sometimes, compromises and sacrifices are necessary. But being firm in what you want to be doesn’t always mesh with reality, which has gray areas.Īnd so she decides to become a magical girl, eventually learning that it’s not enough to choose to help. To be fair, Madoka has been consistent in her helpfulness. Madoka introduced herself to viewers as this friendly and curious (but cautious) teenager, someone who will offer assistance as much as she can to anyone - even to someone like Kyubey who isn’t a human in the first place. But I think that Homura herself would agree that her friend is the best magic user in anime history. It was a tough choice between Homura and Madoka for the No. My top two picks are magical girls from the show created by the “Urobutcher” himself, Gen Urobochi.
