This anime is a deep one on Alchemy's "Equivalent Exchange"
Also if you are into learning more about the seven deadly sins it goes very deep into that. It really hits the soul and psyche, it’s a classic! Overall Storyline is a really dark but beautiful story and one of my favorites.

7. Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex
Uncover the mysteries of cybercrime and technological advancements in this futuristic masterpiece.
Ghost in the Shell has an anime series called stand alone complex. I Recommend checking out the movie first.
It’s about a cyborg policewoman and her partner, hunting a mysterious and powerful hacker called the Puppet Master. The animation and art, are so breathtaking.
The anime series I also loved very much. I loved the little robots called Tachikoma. I thought they were so cute, kind of made me think spiders weren't so scary.
6. Rurouni Kenshin
Set in Meiji-era Japan, follow a former assassin's path of redemption and protecting the innocent.
A Wandering Samurai with beautiful red hair might I add.
One night, he's taking a stroll around the village minding his business, and gets jumped by a girl named Kaoru. She mistakes him for the killer Battosai Slayer because he was walking with a sword, during that time that was a no-no. Kenshin lets her whip out his sword and sees it's reverse blade sword. She's like "This b*tch is definitely not the killer."
Turns out he is the real Battosai slayer but just by looking at him there's no way. He’s changed his ways and wants to help innocent people. Even though he is so cute and cuddly he is definitely not someone you want to get on their bad side. Check this one out.
5. 3x3 EYES
Get lost in the mystical world of demons and immortals with this fantasy-action anime.
This is a special one I’m going to add as a classic and it’s 3x3 eyes.
This is not a common beginner anime, this one is a bonus. Watch this one after you seen everything listed.
The story is about a young man named Yakumo who is a cross-dresser. This girl named Pai pulls up to his place of work, Pai tells Yakumo "Your daddy told me to tell you that you're going to help me become human."
He’s like "wtf you're not human? Yeah ok, one I don’t believe in demons. And f*ck my daddy."
Her then pet friend, Big Bird. Starts to fly through the city f*cking sh*t up. He’s like oh ok demons are real we got to go.
To sum up the story big bird kills him, and Pai absorbs his soul and saves his life making him immortal. This anime surfed during the 80s, if you are into blood splatter and gory scenes you definitely want to check this one out.
4. Inuyasha

A story about a teenage girl named Kagome that falls into a well and time travels back to feudal Japan. Finds out that she is a reincarnation of this b*tch Kikiyo. (Sorry, that was a little personal.)
She finds out that she is a reincarnation by fighting for her life in feudal Japan, and a demon rips her inside open and a jewel flies out of her guts.Which is a powerful jewel that Kikiyo cremated herself with.
Kagome comes across this half-demon boy named Inuyasha who's bound to a tree.

He awakens 100 years later thanks to Kagome. and he’s back on his bill sh*t, wanted to become a full-blown demon and tries to kill Kagome.

2. Samurai Champloo
Merging samurai and hip-hop culture, this anime takes you on a thrilling and artistic adventure.
This anime is a classic in so many ways! It’s a story about a waitress named Fuu. As she's working, assholes in the restaurant decide to disturb the peace.

To sum it up, fuu rescues two master swordsmen which is Mugen and Jin from execution, then she focuses them to help her find the samurai who smells of sunflowers.
Mugen is One of my favorite characters because one he's black. Two the soundtrack in this anime is one of a kind. Just listen to the opening and Three skin, hair, his fighting skills, and overall his presents, just flavored and seasoned very well.
If you are looking for a dope ass anime with action, comedy, adventure, and a killer soundtrack definitely check this one out.
We are finally here at number one. Let me tell you why this anime is number one, I have heard people who aren’t into anime, who have even made fun of it and said and it's stupid, or it's just not their thing. They have watched this anime, and they have changed their minds about anime. Most of them start to Dabble in the world of anime because of this one. This anime is DEATH NOTE.
1. Death Note
Witness an intense psychological battle as a high school student gains possession of a powerful notebook capable of causing death.
DEATH NOTE is a cinematic anime in the best way to put it.
The story is about Light Yagami, an intelligent high school student that lives a regular life. Rinse and repeat type of lifestyle.
One day he sees a book fall from the sky and goes to pick it up in the courtyard of his school.
Once you touch the book you are able to see the owner of the book which are SHIKIGAMI.
Light's SHIKIGAMI name is Ryuk who loves apples, he shows up later scaring light.
Light discovers that this notebook is capable of killing anyone whose name is written in this book. After just one little test. He goes on a secret crusade to eliminate criminals to create a new perfect world. Ryuk offers him the shikigami eyes, which is a power to see anyone's name and life spanned just by looking at them, but the price is the cost of half your life spanned.
To sum it up, people start to praise Light on the internet giving him the name Kira.
Light is not the only one with this book, a bad b*tch named Misa has the book as well and has the shikigami eyes.
Even though many see what Kira aka Light is doing as a great thing because the crime rate has gone down, the cops are out to find Kira. They say this power should only be in the hands of God. If your into drama, crime, and a little bit of comedy. This anime is definitely one to check out.
