💢 Kawaii, Senpai, Otaku, Onii-chan…if you understand these unrelated expressions, then you definitely like Japanese culture and anime.

Yes, every year hundreds of anime are created in Japan, spreading all over the world and capturing the hearts of thousands of Otaku.

For anime lovers and those who appreciate beauty and aesthetics, we have gathered a list of notable and interesting anime series from recent times.

🎬📌 Sousou no Frieren

This anime starts where most fantasy stories end: 10 years after a journey and the defeat of the demon king, a group of heroes returns to their homeland, where their paths separate forever. The ten years of adventures are behind them, and all the heroic deeds are done. Elf Frieren bitterly watches as her companions die one by one since elves live longer than ordinary humans. She decides to embark on a new journey to find answers to the questions about the meaning of life that torment her.

"Sousou no Frieren" was immediately appreciated by fans and remained at the top positions on My Anime List for quite a while.

🎬📌 Dungeon Meshi

Mandrake salad, mermaid soup, and basilisk egg omelet sounds delicious, right? 😅
If you're a fan of the Dungeons & Dragons board game, you'll definitely enjoy the Dungeon Meshi anime. A mysterious ancient wizard has created a massive dungeon filled with monsters and magic. No one knows why and how it appeared. But adventurers regularly descend into the different levels of this dungeon to find precious items, useful plants, and other treasures, which they then profitably sell on the surface. Laios and Falin are also among these adventurers, but things get out of control, and only Laios miraculously survives. Now he and his friends must try to save his sister while encountering monsters and cooking various dishes from them.

🎬📌 Solo Leveling

Ten years ago, a gate opened to another world, where people are allowed to kill monsters. Thus, hunters emerged, chasing and destroying various creatures. But not all of them can become stronger and level up.
The main character is hunter Sun Jin. His job is to close the mysterious gates to dungeons where monsters live. Sun Jin is not just an average hunter but rightfully carries the title of "the weakest weapon of humanity." Therefore, he can only help more skilled friends and close the gates. But the boy continues to put himself in danger because he needs to earn money to treat his terminally ill mother.
One day, he accidentally finds himself in a D-rank dungeon. After almost dying at the hands of monsters, Sun Jin discovers the secret to leveling up.

"Solo Leveling" doesn't stand out for its philosophical depth like "Sousou no Frieren" or its fantasy world-building like "Dungeon Meshi," but in terms of action and dynamics, it surpasses these two series. It's a classic adrenaline-pumping action film with an almost invincible main character.

🎬📌 Yubisaki to Renren

"Yubisaki to Renren" is a warm, romantic story about a couple who find a common language together, learn to solve problems and conflicts, and are ready to help and support each other. Besides this couple, other love stories appear involving their friends and surroundings. In short, the anime is filled with romance and love.
One of the main characters, Yuki, has hearing problems, but it doesn't stop her from going to university, making friends, falling in love, and living a completely normal life. The series also raises social issues and shows in detail the lives and challenges faced by people with hearing problems.

If you are looking for a series filled with romantic stories, we definitely recommend watching this anime.

🎬📌 Kaiju No. 8

An elite unit, the Defense Corps, protects civilians from kaiju – strange monsters that have been appearing in Japan for years. After battles, the monster remains are removed by professional cleaners, one of whom is Kafka Hibino. The boy is dissatisfied with his job; during his teenage years, he wanted to join the Defense Corps, but all his attempts failed. One day he gets a chance to fulfill his dream when a parasite enters his body, giving Kafka the ability to transform into a kaiju.

The anime was created by Tomomi Kamiya, the director of Attack on Titan, so the anime's appeal and interest are beyond question.

Well, if you haven't watched these anime series yet, choose the one that best suits your mood and enjoy watching. Ja ne 👋
