We enjoy anime shows in different ways. The majority choose to watch via free websites and the reason why is very obvious. Why pay for something you can have for free? But we can all agree that doing so will not help the anime industry other than spreading its popularity. I too am guilty of this selfish act. I really can’t spare a few dollars to pay a monthly subscription to watch anime on premium video-hosting websites like Hulu knowing that there are other important bills I need to settle. Talk about the dark side of being an adult. I really envy teens living in first world countries who can buy whatever they want and enjoy other privileges that money brings. But that’s another story. Going back to the main topic, paying to watch anime shows is a legit way to give back to their producers and writers. It’s a way to help them earn and encourages them to do more. So if you belong to the lucky group of people who can buy the latest iPhone model without even looking at its price tag, then you should not hesitate to subscribe and watch the best anime in Hulu.
There are hundreds of anime titles in Hulu so finding one that perfectly suits your taste might be a bit daunting. But worry not my rich otaku friend because I created this list of the best anime shows on Hulu especially for you. Enjoy and I hope you find one that will either rekindle your love for anime or deepen it to the point that you’ll read my other articles and support fellow Otakus!
Hunter X Hunter
This anime show tackles the beauty of friendship and freedom. It follows the story of Gon Freecss, the son of Gin Freecss, one of the most influential Hunters in his era. A Hunter is an individual who possesses unique skills which he uses to explore new boundaries in his chosen path. He can be at the frontier of creating new food recipes or be the deadliest assassin there is. Gin is an explorer so he left Gon as a child and went on to new adventures as a Hunter. When Gon was old enough, he set off from his home island to be a Hunter and know what makes it worth leaving your only child for.
Attack on Titan
An apocalyptic theme is common in anime. Even so, almost all the anime shows that chose to follow this common path succeeded in getting enough fan-base to go on for a couple of seasons. A good example is Attack on Titan. It was a very popular manga series and its anime adaptation gave way for its fans to even grow by the millions worldwide. So is it worth the hype? To be honest, I’m not really a huge fan of Attack on Titan but I watched several episodes with a friend who enjoys it so much. And I can say that it’s brutal and action-packed. If you’re into gore, tragic deaths, and unpredictable series of events then this anime show is the right one for you.
Cowboy Bebop
Let’s forget about recent anime shows for now and focus more on their great-grandparents. Anime shows like Trigun, Voltes V, and Yu Yu Hakusho started it all. But the anime genre was very limited back then. Most of the anime shows lean toward fantasy were the main protagonists have special powers and need to embark on a dangerous adventure to either save his love interest or free his kingdom from a demon king. Cowboy Bebop chose to avoid this cliché and told the story of a bounty hunter. He doesn’t have special powers but his gunslinging skills and laidback attitude easily captured the hearts of anime fans. If you’re looking for a retro anime that perfectly combined humor and action, be sure to put Cowboy Bebop at the top of your list!
One Punch Man
How powerful do you need to be to finish off every enemy with just one punch? I don’t really have the answer to this question but you can ask Saitama, the main protagonist of the hit anime how entitled One Punch Man. So what is One Punch Man all about? The title says it all. It showcases the life of a hero who can basically finish his job with just one punch. He claims that he gained his insurmountable strength by simply doing basic physical training every day. Like everyone who he shared his story with, I don’t believe it’s all that simple. It’s more likely that he is not human and carries the blood of an alien race which can be compared to gods. Watch One Punch Man in Hulu if you want to know more about Saitama and who knows you might think of a better guess than mine about the origin of his power.
Haikyuu!!
Volleyball is a famous sport so I started to wonder several years ago why an anime show based on it was still nowhere to be found. Is volleyball not good enough? Well, Haikyuu!! answered all my questions. It’s an exciting anime about high school volleyball. It’s realistic unlike other sports anime shows that exaggerate in-game strategies and techniques. You’ll not only enjoy heart-pumping volleyball action but learn interesting ideas on how to play better which you can apply to your next game. It’s also a perfect anime show to binge on since it already has three seasons and the 4th one has been given a green light. Every volleyball fan should watch Haikyuu!! and experience their favorite sport in a way only anime can deliver!
Naruto Shippuden
You can’t be called an anime fan without watching at least a single episode of Naruto. I know the original series already ended and now they came up with a new one that features Naruto’s son but we should never forget that it was one among the few anime shows that started the craze. I can still remember my friend recommending it to me when I was just in college like it was yesterday but it has been more than a decade now and Naruto has come a long way and managed to influence millions of anime fans across the globe. If you are among the few who skipped Naruto, particularly Naruto Shippuden for any reason valid or not, now is the time to redeem yourself. Watch it and just thank me later. It’s one of the best anime in Hulu for a reason.
Fairy Tail
Have you ever wondered how our world would look like if magic exist? Don’t worry if you lack imagination to picture it all out since that’s why anime shows are for. One good choice for this purpose is Fairy Tail. This anime show features the struggles and triumphs of a renowned Magic Guild known as Fairy Tail. They are often called to do dangerous missions and they never fail to deliver positive results. This shows how powerful the Fairy Tail members are but what others often fail to realize is that this guild is not just a simple gathering of strong magicians. They are effective not just because of individual strength but mainly due to their teamwork. Every Fairy Tail member treats their companion as family that is why they never leave anyone behind and would gladly face danger and defy their limits if it would mean saving a comrade and accomplishing the task at hand. If you’re a fan of anime shows that center on friendship and other good values while offering intense magic battles here and there, Fairy Tail is perfect for you!
My Hero Academia
They say heroes are made, not born. This famous quote is probably one of the inspirations behind My Hero Academia. This increasingly popular anime shows follows the journey of Izuku Midoriya. He is a normal child who like everyone else aspires to be as great as the hero they idolize. Nevertheless, there is one huge obstacle in front of him in realizing this dream. He is not talented nor does he have the strong and resilient body heroes normally have. Any of us would naturally give up in this situation but Midoriya is different. He has what it takes to be a hero in his own right because of his passion. He does not take no for an answer and would do anything just to defy everyone’s expectations. I know you’re rooting for him to be one of the greatest heroes someday and he probably will. Why not watch his growth from the start? Watch My Hero Academia now and get on board the hype train along with millions of anime fans across the globe!
Tokyo Ghoul
Can a monster be lovable? I know it sounds impossible but it is the case with Kaneki, the main protagonist in the hit anime series Tokyo Ghoul. How did he become a monster? Is it something activated from anger like other typical anime characters with split personality? Don’t continue reading if you don’t want to be spoiled. Kaneki started out as a normal human being. Ghouls exist in his world and humans are wary of them but Kaneki was living a normal life thinking that being attacked by Ghouls is the least of his problem. But after several events, Kaneki found himself being attacked and almost eaten by a female Ghoul. He was saved by an unknown person but the cost was severe. He ended up with Ghoul body parts inside him so he is now half-human half-ghoul. Can he still live normally despite his unique condition? Which side should he choose in the battle between humans and ghouls? There’s no better way to answer these questions than by watching Tokyo Ghoul! I highly recommended it especially for those who love protagonists who are both compassionate and brutal.
The Devil is a Part-timer!
If you’ve been reading by recent articles, you can attest that I’m an Overlord fan. But before Overlord, my favorite anime series is The Devil is a Part-timer. For me, it is better even compared to mainstream anime shows like Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece. And like everybody else, I’m still waiting for The Devil is a Part-timer to be continued. There are just too many questions left unanswered and interesting plot twists that it has to offer. So why do I love it so much? The Devil is a Part-timer! offers a complete viewing experience. It has action, drama, humor, and even romance. What else would you ask for from a show to be entertained? I have yet to find an anime series that entertained me as much as the Devil is a Part-timer did. Well if you have recommendations please do share them in the comments section below. Who knows you might have encountered a rare gem that I skipped for some reason. And I’ll be sure to thank you in my next post.
To some, watching anime is a complete waste of time. I advise those who think this way to ease up on the criticism and don’t judge the hobby without even trying it. No matter what you guys say, watching anime is fun for me and my fellow Otakus. And what else do we seek in this world other than happiness? We have different ways to have fun and it just happens that watching anime is what gives us joy and excitement amidst this chaotic and often depressing world. To all my Otaku friends out there, don’t let others stop you from doing what you love. As long as you do it in moderation, you’re completely fine. Remember that anything, how beautiful it might be, if done in exaggeration can lead to negative consequences. As always, don’t forget to give this article a LIKE and continue to SHARE THE ANIME LOVE MINA!

The anime revolves around the story of Nanami who is a high school girl. Due to some misfortune, she ended up being homeless. This was the time when he met someone in the name of Mikage who is in trouble. Nanami extended her help and as a sign of gratitude, he offers the use of his unoccupied home.
A demon lord and a hero are destined to fight each other to the death. This is the template in almost every fantasy anime nowadays other than The Devil is a Part-Timer. The setting introduced in this anime series is quite unique as these two mortal enemies are trapped in modern Japan. They were left with almost no choice other than to work like the usual employees and live normally in order to survive.
The love story of this anime highlights the couple Meliodas and Elizabeth. Meliodas is the captain of the famous powerful group called 
We all have our fair share of fun High School memories. But I’m sure they are all nothing compared to what Issei Hyodo and his friends can share. Don’t get me wrong though, Issei is not the ideal prince charming or knight in shining armor. He is basically a stupid pervert. His goal is to become the harem king. Despite all of this, there are still a few people who believe in his potential.
A demon and a nun is a weird pair. Nonetheless, it clicked in Chrono Crusade. Their relationship was supposed to be like that of a slave and a master but it turned out to be something more special. Rosette Christopher, the nun, needed Chrono’s power in order to save her brother. Chrono, the demon, on the other hand, is searching for his true identity and is in a constant struggle against his true nature.
Have you ever thought what happens after the demon king is defeated? Do you expect every chaos around the world to end in an instant which would lead the way to peace and prosperity? If your answer is yes then you’re probably reading too many fairy tales. It’s not the case. In fact, it’s the other way around.
The story of Blue Exorcist centers on Satan’s two sons who were raised in our world. The older one Yukio Okumura ended up as a completely normal person but his younger brother, Rin Okumura, was different. He inherited a demonic power specifically the ability to conjure blue flames. This is probably the main reason behind the anime show’s title since Rin aspires to be a good exorcist just like his older brother.
Would you go as far as enrolling in a Yokai Academy just to finish school? This is what Tsukune Aono did after he wasn’t able to get into the local high schools. The Yokai Academy is not only dangerous for humans but they also do not allow humans to be enrolled in their school.
Love in anime is not hard to find. This is because fans love it when they see their favorite anime characters fall in love with each other despite all the challenging circumstances around them. I think this stems from the fact that we want their love to bloom despite all odds and it inspires us to fight for love as well in real life.
Anime shows about Otakus like us are common but Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai took this genre to the next level. They added more humor and pretty ladies to the equation creating an anime series that Otakus and casual anime fans would equally enjoy. The story is about Keima Katsuragi. He is a certified Otaku who is known for being the best in capturing girls in virtual simulation games. The problem is that his skills and experience in girls are only limited to the virtual world. As the series progressed he finds himself in the middle of a mission to collect souls trapped in real girls in order to save his own life. He desperately used his dating game knowledge for this purpose and it went well. What he did not expect was to fall in love with Chihiro. He tried to stop his feelings but his efforts are futile. When love struck, it is unstoppable. And it appears this rule is applicable not just in real life but in the anime world too.
Would you still love someone who currently has heavy responsibilities and simply can’t focus all his attention and love towards you? What if it’s a baby? And on top of that, the son of Satan himself? That’s got to be hard for a woman to fall in love with such a guy right? This challenge was wholeheartedly taken by Hilda. She is the adoptive mother and wet nurse of Beelzebub IV, one of the main protagonists in this anime series. Tatsumi Oga is the young lad who adopted her master in our world.
Romance is not limited between opposite sexes. Our society evolved over the years and gender orientation went along with it. In fact, there’s a worldwide community composed of individuals who prefer the same sex as a partner. Although it is not obviously portrayed, it’s nice to see that anime shows like Black Butler feature same-sex relationships. In the mentioned anime show, Sebastian Michaelis, the demon butler, shares a special relationship with his master Ciel Phantomhive.
What would you do if the woman you love in the past is reincarnated as a man? Would you still love her? This is the question Luka Crosszeria, a strong and handsome demon and one of the main protagonists of the anime show Uragiri wa Boku no Namae o Shitteiru needs to answer. And his action defied the expectations of many. He decided to stay beside the love of his life Yuki Giou and take care of him just like before.
Are you a dreamer? I have a friend who dreams a lot and she shares her amazing dreams often making me very obvious. It’s been a while since I had one and I’m looking forward to one as long as it doesn’t turn into a nightmare halfway. The anime show Yumekui Merry is all about dreams. The story is simple but unique and there’s a sprinkle of romance and comedy every now and then making it very entertaining.
Being in love with your childhood best friend is a common story. However, this kind of relationship does not always go well. There are cases where the boy is indecisive or the girl develops feelings toward another boy as they grow older. In the anime show Shuffle!, Rin Tsuchimi and Kaede Fuyou struggled to keep their relationship as childhood friends because of a bad experience.
How can you love someone who killed your father? If you want a good answer, ask Miu Osawa. She is the daughter of the demon king slain by the hero Akatsuki Osawa. To the defense of the hero, he is simply doing his job. And he even granted the demon king’s last wish which is for him to look after his daughter. Miu posed as Akatsuki’s younger sister so no one would question why they are living together. Despite Akatsuki’s pure intentions, it was not easy for Miu to forgive him.
In most cases, it’s the servant’s duty to protect the master but it’s the other way around in the anime show The Testament of Sister New Devil. Basara Toujou, the hero, tied Mio Naruse in a slave contract. It was only recently that Mio became aware of her origin. But it was not a problem for Basara. Her magical powers are strong but still not enough to protect her from the current demon king and his minions.
A hero trains in preparation for the day he faces the demon lord. This is why the Hero School was founded. It serves as a training ground for heroes so they won’t end up as sacrificial lambs for the demon lord and its army. But what if somebody already defeated the demon lord? What would happen to the students? Raul Chaser fell to this tricky situation so he decided to look for a job aside from being a hero. Coincidentally, he met the deceased demon lord’s daughter Phino Bloodstone along the way.
Another boy to boy romance here so heads up! This anime show is really entertaining not just because of its funny characters but mainly due to the truckloads of comic relief it brings on the table. They usually focus on the two male characters who are engaged Shibuya Yuuri and Wolfram von Bielefelt. Yuri is the 27th demon king of Shin Makoku while Wolfram is the youngest son of the former demon king.
Have you been friend zoned? Is it cruel? Well, ask Favaro Leone from Rage of Bahamut: Genesis if you want tips on how to get over from such kind of experience. As a bounty hunter, he accepted Amira’s proposal. What he thought of as a normal work relationship turned out to be something more special later on. It was supposed to be just an escort service but he slowly developed feelings towards Amira as they escape one dangerous situation after another. Amira’s personality also changed after spending time with Favaro.
What type of girl are you looking for? Are you into the shy ones? Or those who can fight back and would never back down in an argument? Guts from Berserk will surely prefer the latter. He is one of the strongest members of the Band of Hawks. The gang forced him to join at first but he did it willingly after being beaten by their leader, Griffith. Guts and Casca’s love story did not start right away.
Is this another boy to boy anime romance? Am I starting to imagine things or is this kind of genre slowly becoming popular? I’m not really against it though. We are all free to love whoever we want. This time around the persons involved are the demon Dantalion and a member of the noble family William Twining. William is the main protagonist of this anime show and is known to be an extreme realist and a brilliant mind. He is a descendant of Solomon and the Elector, someone who is tasked to choose the next King of Hell.
An anime that highlights swordsmanship and romance; what more can you ask for? The anime show Hakuouki Hekketsuroku offers this unique flavor and as a result successfully gathered a huge number of fan base worldwide. The story revolves around Chizuru Yukimura and her struggles as the newest member of the Shinsengumi. She is the only female member so her early life with the group was not easy. She was tasked to do trivial things Chizuru did not miss any chance to prove her worth. In fact, she caught the attention of Toshizou Hijikata also known as the Demon Vice-Commander. Although the feeling is still one-sided, the two of them being a real couple is not out of the possibility. You might be wondering which part of this anime is demon-related. Well, Chizuru is a member of a clan claimed to be descendants of demons. Her current fighting skills disapprove this but who knows. He might become one of the strongest Shinsengumi members someday and prove that her demonic blood is not mere hearsay.
I really can’t help but be excited every time 
What’s wrong about becoming a vampire? It has a lot of benefits if you ask me. You’ll live for an eternity and you don’t have to worry about any kind of sickness. As long as your family and other loved ones are also vampires, you can enjoy life as it is but longer. Yuichiro Hyakuya will never accept this logic. For him, vampires are the enemy of humanity and should be all exterminated. He was once enslaved by vampires during his childhood so having such kind of mindset is not surprising. His childhood friend Mikaela Hyakuya was left during their escape and was turned into an experiment which made him hate vampires even more. They met again several years later but they found themselves on different sides of the war. Is their relationship strong enough to overshadow their present dissimilarities? Can Yuichiro love the existence he hates the most?

What if you’ll be given the chance to control someone’s death by simply using a notebook? Death Note revolves around the story of Yagami Light and other chosen people who were bestowed with the cursed notebook used by Death Gods. It started just because a Death God was bored and interested in humanity’s limitations. Yagami Light responded by killing convicted criminals around him and he acted as the new face of justice. He is a top student in his class and even considered a genius so it was not hard for him to understand the situation and come up with ideas on how to fully utilize the cursed tool he acquired. He is acted both as a protagonist and antagonist in this anime show. Whether you’ll see him as a villain or not depends on which perspective you’ll look. Somehow, he provided a direct path in punishing wrongdoers but the fact that he has the ability to kill anyone in an instant makes him a grave threat to humanity. Are you a fan of Yagami Light and his perception of justice? Or do you believe L’s reasoning that our current world is not ready for his idea of justice? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below!
Monkey D Luffy’s dream of becoming the pirate king is slowly turning into reality. He managed to acquire a strong and loyal crew. The straw hat crew started their journey in the grand line with hopeful spirits but they were clueless back then about the enemy they’ll face outright. He is one of the most corrupted members of the Shichibukai, Don Quixote Do Flamingo. For his clan, he is the reliable leader who would do anything for the sake of family and to be a step closer to his ultimate goal. He cares less even a country is destroyed as long as his plans succeed. To many, he is the reincarnation of the devil himself and is the root of their suffering. Even the government is afraid of his twisted personality. He thinks no one as his ally and would turn his blade to anyone who blocks his path regardless of their affinity. This is why Monkey D Luffy and his paths crossed. They are destined to fight to the death because they carry opposite morals and effect to the people around them. Do Flamingo strives in destruction and betrayal while Monkey D Luffy fights for new beginnings and loyalty.
Clowns are often seen in birthday parties entertaining children and making sure they leave the event with a big smile. But even though they dress up to look as colorful and funny as possible, many still fear them. Some consider clowns as their greatest fears and this is not just applicable to children. This fear most likely stemmed from famous horror movies and TV shows which feature a killer clown as the main antagonist. Hisoka from Hunter X Hunter is one of them. Despite being an antagonist, he is surprisingly very popular. He’s definitely evil but there are several points in the anime series where he helped Gon and Killua, the main protagonist of Hunter X Hunter. Although his intentions in doing so are crooked, he still manages to assist them during dire predicaments which makes it hard to entirely hate him. But don’t be too comfortable around him because Hisoka is merciless and would kill anyone including the ones he considered allies in the past just to satisfy his craving for a good fight.
Many would easily forgive after being wronged but not Shishio Makoto. To his defense, the government which he loyally served all his life betrayed and treated him like trash so his vengeance can’t be considered unjustifiable. He was killed and burned to hide government secrets as they try to transition to a new era of peace. However, they fail to consider the resilience of a man who has survived countless death battles. Shishio came out burnt and in the process gained the ability to conjure fire which he can use to heat up his weapon. He can also overheat if used in excessively so it’s basically a double-edged weapon. After being burnt, his role as the government’s assassin was given to the young and naïve Kenshin Himura. They did almost the same acts for the government but followed different path afterward. The two of them cut their ties from the government after realizing that their actions were pointless in attaining real peace. However, Shishio decided to take matters into his hands and create a government that follows his ideals while Kenshin wandered and chose a peaceful way of living away from the sword.
What is true strength? Is it the ability to overpower anyone that challenges you? Or is it measured by how you protect the weak and be irrepressible even against a mightier foe? Toguro sees optimal strength as his sole goal in life. He wants nothing other than to be the strongest. This caused Toguro a lot including his only comrade who treated him more than a friend but a true brother. He crossed path with Yusuke and his friends when he was acting as a bodyguard for a wealthy underground businessman who kidnapped Yukina, Hiei’s sister, for her crystal tears. Yusuke somehow defeated Toguro with the help of Kuwabara during their first encounter. Nevertheless, it can’t really be counted as a win because Toguro was going easy on him and the outcome was what his employer wants. Their second meeting is in an otherworld martial arts tournament. Can Yusuke defeat Toguro if he decides to go all out? If you’ve never watched a single Yu Yu Hakusho episode then you are surely missing half of your life as an anime enthusiast!
Villains are expected to be ruthless and cunning. They are merciless and relentless in coming up with evil plans to either defeat their rival hero or finally attain their most coveted goal; world domination. However, this is not applicable to Team Rocket particularly one of their teams composed of Jessie, James, and Meowth. It is a huge organization which aims to abduct Pokemons and uses them in wrong doings but this team is so bad in their job that they’ve never won an encounter against Ash and his friends even though they’ve been pursuing for several years now. Their failures are the main source of humor in the anime series. It’s entertaining to see Team Rocket blast off every time they are defeated but sometimes I feel bad for them. They do deserve credit for not giving up after countless futile efforts. And I know every Pokemon fan would agree that the Pokemon anime series won’t be complete and will never achieve the fame it is enjoying today without the quirky and funny Team Rocket.
You might be wondering why the main protagonist of the anime series 
Brotherhood is supposed to be eternal. Brothers should not fight but instead, support each other. Yoh Asakura harbors no ill feelings toward his brother Hao Asakura. Nevertheless, he simply can’t work together with his older brother as he plans to rule over the world after acquiring the title “Shaman King”. It is the ultimate dream of every Shaman across the world so everyone is aiming for it with the help of their respective guardian spirits. Hao, the current “Shaman King” is merciless and will easily let his Spirit of Fire consume anyone who would dare cross his path. He also managed to gather strong subordinates making it harder for Yoh to stop his wicked plans. Will Amidamaru, Yoh’s guardian spirit, be strong enough to match Hao’s Spirit of Fire? Can their duo achieve what is thought to be close to impossible, subdue a Grand Elemental Spirit?
The most dangerous villains are not those with inhuman strength or speed but those who are wise and tricky. These villains carefully lay out their plans and make sure they would succeed in the end regardless if certain parties try to stop them or not. Sosuke Aizen belongs to this rare breed of villains. What’s more disturbing is that apart from being clever, he is also strong enough to become a Captain of Squad Five. Ichigo and his gang were left clueless as Aizen’s plan went forward from one phase to another. They only realized that they were all dancing in his palm when it was almost too late. It took Ichigo’s final Shinigami form to defeat Aizen and he had to sacrifice every ounce of his power to do so. After their match, Ichigo was left without any spiritual power turning him into a normal human being. This only proves how powerful and dangerous Aizen is. He cornered Ichigo in a tight spot. Although Ichigo’s appearance in the Shinigami world was a part of his plans, it ended up as its major flaw because he never thought about the possibility of Ichigo becoming strong enough to defeat him.
It is said that pain shapes us. It brings out the diamond hiding within all of us after we overcome it through sheer will and the help of people around us who truly care. But it does not go towards a positive outcome every time. There are also some cases where pain leads a person to the brink of disparity until he loses hope and succumbs to darkness. This is what happened to Pain. Jiraiya, his previous master, tried to save him but it was already too late. He lost every reason to live after witnessing the death of everyone dear to him. Jiraiya was not there to save them so he also held an irreversible grudge towards the only person who tried to reach out to him. It’s truly a sad story but Naruto simply can’t leave Pain be just because of all the sufferings he had to endure. Naruto needs to stop Pain from destroying Konoha. Pain believes that doing so would make him feel better as he considers Konoha as the main reason for his sufferings. Despite Pain’s inclination to evil, in the end, Naruto managed to reach the innermost of his heart. Pain realized that the people who are suffering from his actions has nothing to do with what happened to him before and agreed to undo the destruction and death he caused at the expense of his own life. Is he truly a villain or just another victim of the world’s cruelty? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below!
It’s hard to hate on someone who is chubby and cute. But the Dragonball Z world was left with no choice when Majin Buu was summoned and he started destroying one city after another. Son Goku was not ready to fight him back then because he was still dead so the world was left in the hands of Vegeta, Son Gohan, and the rest of the Z fighters. They were easily defeated by the seemingly indestructible Majin Buu. He might act like a spoiled child but his power is the real deal. Gohan was trained by the Great King Kai to surpass a Super Saiyan but it was still not enough. It was only until Son Goku and Vegeta worked together when they got a fighting chance against Majin Buu. The Kid Buu appeared and trapped the fat Buu inside him. When Son Goku’s Spirit Bomb, carrying the power of everyone on earth, killed Kid Buu, Majin Buu was released and they spared him. He became the new member of the Z fighters and for me, it’s a really good bargain. As a villain, he is merciless and dangerous because he can’t be killed but as an ally, he is loyal and very dependable.
Monsters should be hunted and killed. Anything that is a danger to humanity should be eliminated at once. This is the mindset of the people behind the Commission of Counter Ghoul. They are tasked to investigate cases of Ghoul attacks an act accordingly. Hunting Ghouls is a very dangerous way of living so their best agents are equipped with high-tech weapons known as quinque. Kureo Mado is one of their most renowned members. He successfully hunted down even the most dangerous ghouls with his wits and fighting prowess. Mado might act and look weird but his subordinates respect him. He is so dedicated in eliminating Ghouls to the extent that it has become an obsession. Age and sex won’t matter to him when it comes to Ghouls. He seems them equally as monsters that should be killed on sight without further negotiations. Kureo Mado was killed by Touka when he tried to sneak an attack towards Hinami, the daughter of the Ghoul he killed in cold blood.
Is immortality really a gift or a curse? What’s the point of living forever if you don’t have anyone to spend all this time with? These questions are irrelevant for Naraku, the rival of Inuyasha. He is among the many yokais who was born from the human, Onigumo. He is the one responsible for the death of Kikyo and the seal placed on Inuyasha. He desires the Shikon no Tama, a jewel which could make him the most powerful yokai. Throughout the anime series, he raced with Inuyasha in collecting the shards needed to form the jewel. He successfully completed it later on but he was slain by Inuyasha right after. He transformed into his real form and gained the power he long wanted but his selfish purpose and lack of trustworthy allies made him weak. His failure is a reminder for all of us that no man, or in his case monster, is an island. No matter how rich, powerful, and influential you are, these advantages will always fall short against the existence of real friends and family when it comes to being happy and successful in life.
Science is both amazing and scary. History has already proven that scientific breakthroughs are not just limited to technologies that are beneficial to all humanity. Remember the Atomic Bomb? Science paved a way to its development and it wiped out an entire city in just a few seconds leaving thousands dead and millions sick. This is very similar to what happened in Shingeki No Kyojin. The only difference is that the experiment gone wrong in their situation does not involve bombs but oversized humans who developed an insatiable desire for human flesh. They were referred to as Titans and ever since then humanity has been fighting them off with tall walls and military forces specifically trained to go up against them. These giants are formidable opponents not just because of their size. A few rare ones also have the intellect that can match humans. They are also very agile. One wrong move and you’ll end up inside their belly in an instant. Topped up with their weird body proportion and scary faces, the Titans definitely deserve a spot in this list.
Intimidation is a crucial skill in boxing. Mastering it would make it easier for a boxer to close in an opponent and chop off a huge chunk of his confidence especially during the early rounds. And it does not really require a huge body and a scary face to be good at it. The main ingredients to have an intimidating presence as a boxer are attitude and confidence. But I’m no expert so maybe there are more. If you’re really interested in this aspect of boxing, you should meet Ryo Mahiba. He is the second formidable opponent Ippo Makunouchi met next to Miyata, his rival. Ryo’s intimidating presence stems from his desperation to win. He can’t afford to lose because his sister depends on him. He is also willing to do even the nastiest tricks in the books just to grab the win making it seems like is nothing more than a ruthless and merciless wild animal inside the ring. It’s different from his sister though. She sees his brother as a hardworking man who sacrificed everything just to make a living and support her.
It is said that your childhood shapes you and all the experience you’ll gather when you’re just a kid will affect your overall personality as you grow up. Judar is a living proof that this is true. He had a dark past but managed to get out of it and became one of the most powerful Magis in his generation. The bad experiences he had to endure and his absurd ice magic made him arrogant. He is the type of person who would not mind killing bystanders during a fight or using innocent people in his plans. Judar is a villain any hero would not want to face. But is he beyond saving? Like everybody else, there is still hope to redeem Judar. Deep inside him is a boy who simply wants to be cared for and loved. He might violently deny this but Judar’s only wish is to have comrades to fight along with as well as something precious that is worth protecting with his power. Once led towards the right path, Judar has the potential to be a loyal and trustworthy ally.
How can I disregard Zeref Dragneel, the most powerful and evilest Mage in Fairy Tail, while making this list? He is Natsu Dragneel’s big brother and mortal enemy. For Zeref, Natsu is nothing more than a tool which can free him from a sad and lonely life brought upon by his cursed body. His powerful and destructive magic and spread death to everything around him in an instant. He is so powerful that entire guilds fear him while others who are a bit daring exclaim that they are willing to do anything just to make him their ally. Zeref’s duel with his brother Natsu is one of the best fight scenes in Fairy Tail. Since Natsu will suffer the same fate as Zeref, our beloved mage is basically forced to sacrifice his own life for the good of all. To the eyes of his friends and guildmates, it’s a battle that would lead to no other path than seeing their comrade die. How can Natsu get out alive from this ordeal? Will Fairy Tail’s firepower be enough to stop Zeref and his plans to end an era? You should start watching Fairy Tail now if you want to catch up to the hype!
Shinichi Kudo is always vigilant against the syndicate who is responsible for turning him into a kid. The organization boasts a wide influence scattered across the globe and their operations vary from manufacture and distribution of illegal drugs, smuggling and dealing of guns, and even assassination. Gin is one of their most loyal and influential high-ranking executives. Despite his rank, he makes sure crucial missions are done smoothly by personally leading his men on the field. He is skilled in both armed and unarmed combat. But probably the most dangerous thing about him is his wit. Gin easily evades police traps and thinks several steps ahead while strategizing. These are the reasons why even the genius Shinichi Kudo can’t catch him or gather enough information about his origin and the current structure of the organization.
Saitama is unrivaled in almost every aspect as a superhero and is considered as the most popular 
There are several types of villain anime characters. Some specialize in pressuring the protagonists with a huge army which they can order to attack at will. Others work alone but boast superior strength and other special abilities which make it almost impossible for the main character to win a duel against them without the help of trusted allies. A few rare ones only rely on their wit and have little to no power on their own. This type of enemy is the hardest to deal with in my opinion. Tomura Shigaraki belongs to this rare breed. Yes, he has the ability to decay anything he touches and has boosted strength and speed but these abilities fall short compared to strong professional heroes in Boku No Hero Academia. What makes him truly dangerous is his ability to command his allies as their leader and strategize. He has no qualms about killing the innocent and involving them in battles just to gain the upper hand.
What if you accidentally take the life of the most special person in your life? Would you ever forgive yourself? This is the predicament that caused Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti to lose his mind and turn wicked. He had a tough and gentle look a hundred years ago but everything flipped when he accidentally killed Fortuna with the use of Pandora’s Power. The pain was too much for him to bear and now he has become an active member of the most feared Witch Cult. They met path with Subaru, the main protagonist in the main series, and he managed to kill Subaru and even infiltrated his body. It took everything going perfectly before he and his crew successfully defeated Petelgeuse.
Love is patient and kind. The definition if far from how Nobuyuki Sugo thinks of love. He is the main antagonist in the hit anime series Sword Art Online. After defeating the final boss, Kayaba Akihiko, Kirito woke up after more than a year of being trapped inside the game. He immediately searched for the real Asuna but was confused and worried when he found out that she did not wake up like him and the rest of the players. He did his best to solve the puzzle and was able to find hits of Asuna being trapped in another game. And he was right. All along, Asuna was being held captive by Nobuyuki Sugo, the man his family wants her to marry. He plans to further develop the game and weaponize it. And it’s up to Kirito and his new allies to rescue Asuna and stop Sugo from starting another Virtual Reality nightmare.
Basketball is a team sport. No matter how good you are, winning without the help of your teammates is impossible. But this common thought can be argued if we talk about extremely talented individuals like the captain of the famous generation of miracles, Seijuro Akashi in the famous 
It’s ironic to see a holy knight being corrupted. They are supposed to be the protectors of peace and justice. Nonetheless, in the anime series Seven Deadly Sins, they are cruel and unreasonable. Hendrickson to be specific turned to his demonic powers just to achieve his selfish goal which is to rule over the land along with the Holy Knights. Mediolas and his group suffered a lot of loses just to subdue Hendrickson in his demon form. But this is a far cry from his personality way back when he was just a loyal knight of the kingdom. He always scolded his comrades who are slacking and is also extremely loyal to his masters. He is gentle, respectful, and just. But people change right? And sad to say, his change leaned toward the bad side. Do you know someone close to you who undergone the same change? Have you tried urging him to come back to the right path? Share your experience in the comment section below!
How far would you go to achieve perfection in cooking? Azami Nakiri took it to the next level by conspiring with top chefs and selfishly deciding for his subordinates. He was once the director of Totsuki Culinary Academy after manipulating the Elite Ten back then to oust his own father-in-law. Everyone hates him including the wealthy owners of famous culinary businesses. And this is not surprising because only a few understand and accepts his meaning of culinary perfection. He cultivated God Tongue through abusive means despite the fact that the guinea pig is his own daughter, Erina. This goes without saying that he only thinks of her daughter as a tool for him to achieve his selfish goals. As a result, Erina developed a rooted fear towards him which she struggled to overcome.

This anime series is to be precise not a transported to another world anime. But then again, it follows the concept of the MC being forced to live in another out worldly dimension. This time around, our hero, Kazuto Kirigaya was trapped in a VRMMO. He is a social outcast who prefers spending most of his free time in games which is why unlike newbies he instantly responded to the problem without being confused and clueless.
The new generation won’t be able to experience the excitement and frustration of waiting, watching, and wanting for more anime every day. Monster Hunter was released when there was still no free online streaming so we have no other option than to patiently watch every episode one day after another. But if you think about it, that’s the exciting part. You’ll have something to look forward to everyday and there are no spoilers since internet social media back then was also non-existent. Going back to Monster Rancher, this anime show tells the story of Genki and his adventures in a new world where monsters rule. Some are friends while others are foes. Genki’s mission along with his newly formed team is to defeat the Monster King and bring peace to the land. The animation may be outdated but this show is truly a must-watch. Classic anime at its finest!
Yusuke Urameshi was your average high school delinquent student. He skips classes and often fights with gangs for fun. But he’s not what he seems to be. Yusuke is in fact a kind-hearted person who frowns upon the weak being bullied and abused. He is even willing to lay down his own life just to save a stranger in danger. He has proven this by jumping in between a child and a car. Yusuke died but was revived by the afterlife administrator for him to serve as an agent whose duty is to maintain
Field trips excite us above anything else when we were in high school. But what if it would lead us to another world? This is what happened to the three girls who are the main protagonists of Magic Knight Rayearth. This classic anime is a must-watch especially for those who are into magic, knighthood, heroines, and romance. The three have different personalities and gained unique powers after being transported to another world. Although I have not completely watched this series, most of my girlfriends love it so I’m giving this one the benefit of the doubt. Have you watched at least an episode of Magic Knight Rayearth before? How would you feel about a remake? Be sure to leave your thoughts in the comment section below!
The Slim Shady himself is in the house y’all! Eminem is one of the best rappers if not the best of his generation. In fact, it’s a mortal sin to not know him you are interested rapping and the hip-hop culture. What made him special is that he is the first white person to do so in the industry which was founded and dominated by people of color. And if you ever watched One Piece particularly the arc where Luffy and his gang visited Sky Island, you’ll instantly notice how Eminem resembles God Eneru. They both have the same facial structure, skin color, and even hair. But the best part of all is that both of them stand on the top of their chosen path in life as a ruler where Eminem is the God of Rap while Eneru is the God of Sky Island.
There are only a few action holy wood actors who actually know how to fight in real life. And one of them is Jet Li. He started practicing Wu Shu at a very young age due to his parent’s influence and he managed to reach the international stage which only proves that he has the innate talent, body, and heart for it. Several years fast forward and we find Jet Li in hit martial art movies performing jaw-dropping stunts and fight sequences. It came to a point where he became the face of martial arts after Bruce Lee. This makes me wonder if it’s truly just a mere coincidence that he looks like Saitama from One Punch Man. Saitama is the strongest hero in his world and he happens to be bald just like Jet Li in his famous movies where he played the role of a shaolin martial arts expert. Well it won’t be disrespectful in any way to compare the two because both of them have the skill and charisma to back up their reputation and fame.
Before Mixed Martial Arts took the center stage in fight entertainment, wrestling was hailed as the number one. It also became the venue where famous personalities of today started their career like Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, Triple H. and many more. Among them, one stood out and became the face of wrestling for decades. His unique antics in the ring and never-say-die attitude impressed billions worldwide. He is none other than Hulk Hogan. Even though time got the better of him today, he is still regarded as one of the most influential wrestler of all time. This is probably why the creator of Naruto can’t help but create a character that closely resembles him, Killer Bee. This goes true not just because of their physical similarities but also for sharing a funky and outgoing attitude. Killer Bee like Hulk Hogan is fond of throwing out catchy phrases and funny gestures which made him very lovable. Although he is not as famous as the lead character Naruto, he unquestionably belongs to the top ten within the Naruto anime series.
The untimely death of Bruce Lee is regarded as one of the most tragic events in the modern entertainment industry. During that time, he was at the top of the world with international exposure and millions of fan worldwide. He started the martial arts revolution and greatly increased his fame along with the art from one movie to another. The world misses him until now which is why a lot of video game and anime characters are based out of him. One of them is Lee Pai Long from Shaman King. They have the same hairstyle and facial structure. Their fighting techniques are also very similar as they focus on inflicting the greatest damage possible in the least possible time using any part of their body or a pair of nun chucks.
It’s common for famous people to be prideful an arrogant. Most of them succumb to the ravaging whirlpool of fame and worldly riches and as a result forget their roots. Nonetheless, it’s good to know that there are a few exemptions among them and the best example is Keanu Reeves. Despite starring in several blockbuster movies, he remains grounded. He has a really charming face so it’s hard to accept that there’s someone that looks like him. However, anime fans who got to know Rintaro Okabe from Steins; Gate won’t say the same. Their facial features are the same as well as their hairstyle. Both of them are also socially inept but are experts in their field of choice as a scientist for Rintaro Okabe and as an actor for Keanu Reeves.
It’s impossible to gather 8 division belts in professional boxing unless you are Manny Pacquiao. He is the Filipino boxer who took the world by storm and impressed boxing fans across the globe with his inhuman hands speed and unrivaled punching power. Manny Pacquiao was unstoppable during his prime as he demolished previous boxing legends like Marco Antonio Barrera and Eric Morales. His boxing intensity can be compared to 
Are you a basketball fan? Or were you a high school basketball varsity player or simply play with friends during weekends? As long as you have a bit of knowledge about basketball, you’ll agree that those who are blessed with height conventionally take the center role during a game. This role requires the player to control the rebound, box out the opposing team center, and make put backs when possible. Dirk Nowitzki, an NBA superstar, defied this norm by becoming one of the best jump shooter of all time despite having the height of a center. Kuroko’s basketball fans will instantly compare him to Midorima Shintarou upon knowing such fact. Although they don’t look exactly alike, everything about them aside from that perfectly fits like their shooting form and accuracy.
Scarlett Johansson is one of the prettiest faces in the Hollywood today. This is one of the reasons aside from her innate talent in acting why she already starred in a number of box office movies for the past decade. Anime fans were excited as news regarding her portrayal of the role of Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell since she has every requirement to pull of it off. And as expected, she delivered with flying colors. Although critics say that the movie ended up as a typical Hollywood hero movie without offering something new in the plate it somehow gave justice to the franchise. At least they go Motoko’s looks right as Scarlett Johansson’s transformation in the movie made her look like the anime character’s real-life version. What do you think about the Ghost in the Shell 2017 movie? Share your thoughts below!
Upon facing an opponent that you can’t beat and you feel certain death is just a few seconds away, would you run for your life or hold your ground to at least put up some kind resistance? This decision where your life is one the line is not easy. This is why no one has the right to criticize Brain Unglaus of Overlord when he ran like a mad man after realizing Shalltear Bloodfallen’s strength. It’s not that he is a coward, he simply responded to human instinct. He greatly reminds me of Chris Hemsworth’s portrayal of Thor. Courage is written all over Thor’s personality but it’s not one brought upon by ignorance. He knows his limits just like Brain. And the fact that they look alike aside from Brain’s hair color makes the resemblance more striking.
We talked about Thor so why not talk about his good old pal Captain America portrayed by Chris Evans. He is the avenger’s conscience as he always put the people’s welfare above any objective. Captain America is also highly respected by every member despite being the weakest among them in terms of raw power. If you’re a fan of Shingeki No Kyojin, you’ll surely point out the fact that he looks and acts like Commander Erwin. They share the same hairstyle and color, facial features, and even body type. Both of them carry a serious yet compassionate demeanor. They are leaders in the vanguard force who protects humanity from extinction.
They really look alike and I think it’s not surprising because majority of anime characters are designed based on Asian people. Kim Taehyung belongs to a popular South Korean idol group called BTS. He is both a singer and actor which of course different from Kaneki of Tokyo Ghoul who need to hide his true identity to protect himself and the people close to him.
Robert is based on Robert Downey Jr. making them exactly lookalikes. This goes true from the hair, body shape, color, and even their attitude. We all know that Robert Downey Jr. is known for playing a variety of roles in Hollywood movies including weird ones where he was required to overhaul his overall persona.
Another famous South Korean idol almost made it to this list, Ji Eun. She is a member of the girl group Secret. Like almost every South Korean girl idol, she loves to play around with her style. The picture here was taken from a music video where she slayed the bangs look like the one Hinata Hyuga is famous of. Although they look alike, their personalities are total opposites since Ji Eun is outgoing and bubbly while Hinata tends to be shy and freeze up during embarrassing moments.
