The best anime shows on Crunchyroll

A few years ago, you could count the number of animes we could watch on a hand, and now there is a complete catalog of anime series and movies on every platform that continues to grow every month. If we’re talking about anime, the greatest platformer ever is Crunchyroll, which got bigger after its merger with Funimation.

We can watch all kinds of series on the platform, from sports anime to romantic comedies, trips to fantasy worlds to hit dramas… And yes, we also have access to some of the best anime series made in recent years.

Attack on Titan

If we talk about anime, “Attack on Titan” (Shingeki no Kyojin) is one of the mambo queens and has already captivated millions of viewers. Based on the manga by Hajime Isayama, the story takes place in a world where the last humans took shelter inside some high walls as the terrible titans lived beyond. When Eren Jaeger, Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arlet lose everything after these creatures’ attack, they decide to join the country’s military force to fight them.

Demon Slayer

The “Demon Slayer” (Kimetsu no Yaiba) craze also hit theaters, and the series can boast of having the highest-grossing anime movie in history. The story revolves around Tanjiro Kamado, who lost his family after being attacked by a demon. Only his sister Nezuko, who is infected and turned into a demon, survives. Tanjiro decides to become a demon hunter to find a cure and avenge the man who ruined their lives.

Jujutsu Kaisen

Another of the biggest series in recent years, and which has also had a spectacular career in theaters. ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ is the story of Yuji Itadori, a teenager who accidentally eats an ancient relic that turns out to be the finger of the legendary sorcerer Sukuna. In order to contain Sukuna inside him and learn to master his powers, he attends the Tokyo School of Wizardry, which specializes in training wizards to combat curses and all kinds of creatures.

Spy x Family

One of the stars of 2022 thanks to its great mix of humor and action. ‘Spy x Family’ follows a very peculiar family where everyone has a secret. The father disguises himself as Loid Forger, but is actually Twilight, the star spy for a rival nation. The mother, Yor Briar, looks like a simple civil servant but is also a ferocious and bloodthirsty contract killer. Little Anya is a telepath resulting from a mysterious scientific experiment, and the only one who knows her parents’ secrets.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

This peculiar manga saga has been developing for decades, with each new arc focusing on a different generation of the same family. ‘JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’ opens like a 19th century Victorian drama with Jonathan Joestar, whose adoptive brother Dio Brando is turned into a vampire after using an ancient artifact. Through each member of the Joestar family, generational conflicts often end up leading to DIO, whether it be with an epic journey around the world or delving into the ins and outs of the Neapolitan mafia.

Chainsaw Man

Undoubtedly the great star of the fall season and one of the most anticipated bombings in 2022. ‘Chainsaw Man’ was preceded by all the hype surrounding Tatsuki Fujimoto’s manga and has left us with superb animation. Denji is a teenager with a miserable life who lives with his demon Pochita, slaving away as he can and doing all kinds of jobs to pay off his debts. When Denji is killed, he manages to make a deal with a demon and is reborn as Chainsaw Man, whereupon he is recruited to become a professional demon hunter.

Mob Psycho 100

It was preceded by the success of ‘One-Punch Man’, but ONE’s other work doesn’t fall short at all. ‘Mob Psycho 100’ is a perfect combination of slice of life, supernatural plots and surreal humor, and excellent animation. The story follows Shigeo Kageyama, nicknamed “Mob”, who is actually a very powerful psychic who has trouble expressing his feelings and relating to others. To control his powers, he turns to Reigen Arataka, a con man who poses as a spiritualist and uses Mob to solve the little jobs that come his way.

Ranking of Kings

‘Ranking of Kings’ is another of the recent bombings, with a charming mix between a fantasy story, very tender moments, heartbreaking drama and beautiful animation reminiscent of classic Ghibli. Prince Bojji is deaf and mute, so hardly anyone considers him heir to the throne and people often take him for a fool. One day he meets Kage, the sole survivor of a disgraced clan of assassins who becomes his first and only anime of his.

One Piece

The undisputed queen of current anime, which has been on the air since 1999 and continues to grow with a new weekly chapter. ‘One Piece’ is the story of Monkey D. Luffy, who ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi as a child and is now a rubber man. Luffy dreams of becoming the King of the Pirates and finding the mythical One Piece, so he sets out to sea and assembles a crew to travel the world with.
