Are you a fan of transport to another world anime? Here is a list of the top Isekai anime 2019.

The Rising of the Shield Hero

Date aired: Jan 9, 2019 to Jun 26, 2019

The anime is the story of 4 heroes from modern Japan summoned to another world where their kingdom is troubled by Waves of Catastrophe. Among these 4 heroes is our main character Naofumi. Though being a hero is already great in itself and is what you would most likely want in a new place, the slight problem is that he doesn’t have any weapon. He became known as the shield hero.

It all started when Naofumi was in a library finding some light novels to read. which is his usual practice. If he is not at home, he goes out to the library. Here, he found a book about 4 heroes saving a kingdom. As he continues to browse the pages, a light suddenly engulfs the area and he was sent to another world.

It’s quite interesting to see how our shield hero would be able to help the Kingdom deal with its problems. As Naofumi learns about the place, he also experiences the challenges of getting a shield instead of a real weapon.

Some of the good parts of The Rising of the Shield Hero are its interesting characters especially Naofumi and its unusual story. When it comes to animation and overall visual effects, we could give this anime good praise. Certainly worth watching for isekai fans. This anime is also among the best anime 2019.

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun

Date aired: Oct 5, 2019

I personally think that this anime is pretty fun to watch. The story is about our main character Iruma who got sold to a demon by his irresponsible parents. The good part is that instead of being eaten by the demon, he was made the demon’s grandson.

He was sent to a demon school. This is where all the fun happens since everyone in the school are demons except for Iruma. So his new granddad has to do everything in order to keep his secret that Iruman is indeed human.

The art is beautiful, the sound is not that great but still well done for me. The characters are really fun to watch. You will surely have a good laugh every episode of this in another world anime.

Magi’s Grandson

Date aired: Apr 10, 2019 to Jun 26, 2019

Our main character here is a typical office worker who usually ends up working even past working hours. One day, in his usual schedule of staying late in his work, its time to go home and while on the street he met an accident and died. He was reincarnated in another world were people could use magic.

At a young age of 8, Shin Wolford could now use magic. He is a grandson of a famous magician in their place, also considered a hero – Merlin Wolford. Shin could not just use magic, at a very young age its surprising how he could easily learn everything that Merlin teaches him. He seems to have a natural gift with using magic and also have high skills when it comes to martial arts.

Upon arriving in the right age, he is enrolled in a magic academy where his journey will start. Kenja no mago is the story of Shin in his high school life learning more about life and being with friends. Plus, dealing with demons in and around the city.

Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious

Probably among the best isekai 2019. I was even more impressed after watching the last episode of this anime. The story is about our protagonist Ryuuguuin, Seiya who was summoned to another world by a Goddess known as Ristarte. Seiya is a very strong and powerful heor but a very cautious one. And we can safely say that Ristarte is quite a useless Goddess that is why he needed the help of a hero.

Their journey is to save the world from 4 demon lords. It’s not as serious as The Rising of a Shield Hero, it’s more on the Sitcom Comedy side. The art is good enough and the animation is not that bad as well. Nothing to complain about this part.

The Cautious Hero has an excellent sound effect and opening theme. And I would give it a 9/10 when it comes to the characters. If you are looking for a fun isekai anime to watch, you’ve already found one.

Demon Lord, Retry!

Date Aired: Jul 4, 2019 to Sep 19, 2019

Demon Lord, Retry! is not that great but good enough for me. What’s special about this anime is its fun to watch. Though you would not appreciate much its characters and animation, the good thing is it could leave you with a good laugh. Which is better compared to seeing a serious type of anime with a very poor animation.

If you are expecting something as epic as Overlord, you will surely be disappointed. However, if you are simply looking for an isekai anime that you could enjoy watching in your free time, you’re probably for a good ride.

The story is about a game developer who was suddenly transported to a game world. He became a character that he had created. His journey centers around saving lolis and taking them under his wing. This another world anime is worth watching.

Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!

This anime is a good isekai anime. The main characters von Ascham, Adele, Reina, Pauline and Mavis are fun and entertaining to watch. The character designs are not that excellent but not too bad as well.

The story is about Misato Kurihara who is not your typical person since she stood out most of the time. Everything in life is quite easy for her. However, she encountered a sudden death and was transported to another world.

Before being reincarnated in a new world, she was granted one wish. With this, she wished to experience and ordinary life – we wanted to be an average person. So she was reborn as von Ascham. Did the gods granted her wish? It’s for you to find out.

Do you love your mom and her two-hit multi-target attacks

Date aired: Jul 13, 2019 to Sep 28, 2019

This anime is about the unlikely journey of Masato and his mom Mamako in the world of fantasy online game. I think it is the first that we will see a mother involved in an Isekai anime. Though being in a game world is what most teenager gamers dream of, being accompanied by their mom is a different story.

Everything happened so fast. In a normal day, he was just trying to fill-up a survey by the government. A woman came to their home and after a few introductions did something to his computer, then suddenly Masato suddenly finds himself in a tunnel of light going inside a game.

The only thing I don’t like about this anime is the harem setup. I personally am not a fan of fan service, so I don’t appreciate too much harem. Aside from this, I am also not quite impressed with the animation and design. The animation reminds me of Isekai Cheat Magician.

High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World

This anime is about a group of Japanese students who are considered prodigies due to their unbelievable talents. Each member of the group specializes in a different field. The students from Japan were sent to another world where they help in dealing with various issues. And due to their talents/skills, they are considered as the hope of this new world they got transported to.

I continued to watch this anime mainly because of the excellent character design of the female characters and good animation. When it comes to its plot/story, I think it falls short on this part. I’ll consider Choyoyui as an average isekai anime.

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest

The story of Arifureta revolved around a high schooler named Hajime Nagamo who got transported to another world together with his classmates. Our protagonist Hajime is an every date otaku so being summoned to another world is somewhat a dream come true.

In the new world, they were considered heroes and are expected to save the human race. Everything seems so cool aside from the fact that Hajime is the weakest in the group. Thus, he is often bullied for being weak.

Everything changed for him when they went on training at a Labyrinth. What happened on the Labyrinth? It’s something that you have to discover.

Isekai Cheat Magician

Yes, from the name itself this is another Isekai anime. What I did find a unique feature right of the bat is the fact that the male protagonist was sent to another world together with a female partner.

Right on the first episode, you’ll see how OP our main characters are – Rin and Taichi. Some may hate this concept but I know others will find it interesting. It was interesting for me so I have watched until the 5th episode. What decided me to stop watching this anime is its poor animation. I guess it would have been a good one if the character designed were well done and animation is good. It’s what most fans would look for in an isekai anime.

So yeah, if there are other options to choose from, I do not suggest watching this anime. I decided to include it in this isekai anime list since it was quite promising but just did not live up to the expectation of many.

So there you go, these are the top isekai anime 2019 that you might want to watch if you are a fan of this type of anime.

Action is a popular genre in anime and under this category, is martial arts anime. If you are looking for a new anime to follow in this genre, then you have landed on the right page. We have listed the best martial arts anime of 2019 below.

Kengan Ashura Season 1 and 2

Aired: Jul 31, 2019

Topping our list would be Kengan Ashura – a Netflix anime. This martial arts anime has the same feel as Baki where experts in various martial arts disciplines gather to compete and settle business. 

The main difference with Baki is that the fighters in Kengan Ashura meet in the area to fight to settle issues of wealthy merchants. Aside from this, they are just closely similar in terms of action, martial arts, level of violence and bloody fights.

Our main character in this anime is Ouma Tokita who aims to be crowned as the strongest. Of course, this is not something that he could easily attain since he had to face other characters who are the strongest in their field. 

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Aired: April 6, 2019 to Sept. 28, 2019

Another popular martial art anime of 2019 is Demon Slayer. It’s the story of Tanjirou and Nezuko as they continue to live after the death of their family. To make matters worse for Tanjirou, Nezuko was infected by the demon that killed his family. But though Nezuko is already a demon, he is not the same as the other demons that devour human flesh.

Tanjiro is doing his best to bring back his little sister back to her normal life. Along his journey, he will meet friends that would help him achieve his goal. 

It’s an anime that you wouldn’t want to miss because of its nice animation and interesting characters. Every fight scene in this anime is worth your time. It only took me a couple of days to finish watching it. 

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation 2

Aug. 3, 2019 to Aug. 31, 2019

The very first reason I fell in love with this anime is its animation. Considering that its a martial arts anime, a great animation would certainly make it a great anime to watch. Then after watching several episodes, I realized there are a lot of positives about this anime.

Number one is its story. Though there are a lot of flashbacks in the episodes I have watched so far, I think it’s important to establish the entire story. Plus, they were able to supplement it with action-packed scenes.  

Second, the characters are very interesting including the supporting casts. You can easily tell them apart. Our main protagonist here is Wei Wuxian who is very fun to watch and always has an outgoing personality.

Overall all, the art, animation and soundtrack are all good making it a good anime to watch. And mind you, some are even calling it a masterpiece. The moment you start watching it, you’ll get hooked.

Mugen no Juunin: Immortal

Blade of the Immortal

Aired: Oct 10, 2019

This anime is the story of Manji who is an immortal swordsman. Though to some being immortal might be a gift, but it is actually a curse given to him by an old witch. In order to lift the curse, he must go on a journey to kill a thousand evil men. 

On his journey, he met a girl, Rin who is also on a path to seek vengeance on the murder of his entire family. 

The Demonic King Who Chases His Wife

Xie Wang Zhui Qi

Date Aired: Jan. 24, 2019 to April 11, 2019

This anime is based on a popular novel that is why many are many anime fans have been looking forward to it. The story revolves around a renowned assassin who became the Fourth Miss of the empire. She was married to the imperial highness who is an emotionless tyrant with incomparable talents.  

So as you can see, both have their level of stubbornness. This chaser and chased story would certainly entertain you since their love story is just something unique and unusual.

Among the things that I liked about this anime is its amazing art. Most Chinese anime I have watched so far has great art and nice animation. Plus, it has a very interesting plot which would make you want to continue watching it. And the main and supporting characters are quite interesting as well.

What makes me sad though is the short time per episode, it would have been much better if it’s the same as the usual time for an anime episode.

Martial Universe – Chinese Anime

Wu Dong Qian Kun

Date aired: Jan 27, 2019 to Apr 7, 2019

The Martial Universe anime is the story of Lin Dong as he sets on a journey to regain the glory of his family. He vowed to get vengeance on the person who is the reason why their family is left with nothing. Everything changed when he stumbles upon a mysterious stone talisman.

To those who have read the novel, this anime is an awesome adaptation of the novel. It has a great story and the team was able to do a solid job on the character designs and overall animation. I have started watching the anime and have I have loved it so far.  

Da Zhu Zai / The Grand Lord

Aired: Aug. 7, 2019 to Oct. 17, 2019

This anime is also known as The Great Ruler. It is set up in a place where many are aiming to become the Great Ruler. The place is inhabited by people in different clans and these clans are ruled by their own Lord. This is a Chinese anime with nice animation and character design.

Levius – Netflix

This anime is the story of young Levious as he tries to survive in a time where cybernetically augmented fighters get into the area to box. This boxing sports anime will surely captivate you since it has been a long time since we had this type of anime. 

This mechanical martial art is very popular in the country and Levious is aiming to be on top.

Tenka Hyakken: Meiji-kan e Youkoso!

The Tenka Hyakken franchise centers around the “Mitsurugi,” maidens who are physical incarnations of ancient swords. They have pledged to live peaceful lives after the era of warfare, but are now returning to battle to fight a new foe that has arisen during an alternate version of the Meiji Era, three hundred years after the Battle of Sekigahara. 

Battle Through The Heavens 3

Doupo Cangqiong 3rd Season

Date aired: July 21, 2019 to Sept. 29, 2019

If watching a Chinese anime does not bother you, then this is a good watch. When it comes to art, character designs and animation, I would give this anime a rating of 8/10 for Season 3. I usually like how Chinese anime is made in general. It has already reached its 3rd Season and most are saying that every season this anime is improving.  

You’ll enjoy watching this anime if you are into magic, action and martial arts.

Ikkitousen: Western Wolves

Date aired: Jan. 3, 2019 to Feb. 27, 2019

This anime is a sequel of the OVA Ikki Tousen Extravaganza Epochrelease which has only 2 episodes. The Western Wolves only has 3 episodes.

• Yaoshenji 3rd Season
• Ni Zhuan Ci Yuan: AI Jue Qi

• Ling Jian Zun

A lot of us anime fans love action and fight scenes, this is the reason why most of us love to watch anime in the martial arts genre. Below, is a list of New Martial Arts Anime that you might want to watch.

Majutsushi Orphen Hagure Tabi

Started airing: January 7, 2020

This anime is also known as Sorcerous Stabber Orphen. It’s a remake of the original anime which was aired 1998-1999. This anime is the story of Orphen who is considered as the best sorcerer in their class at the Tower of Fang. He is on a journey to bring back her sister Azalie to her true form. The problem is he is not the only one who is looking for his sister. Others want her death due to the kind of monster she has become.

The anime looks promising for a magic anime with martial arts. You can expect it to be action-packed. Sorcerous Stabber Orphen has a cool main character and some interesting supporting characters as well. Though this kind of story is not anymore new, which could be because of how old this novel/anime is, it certainly does not make it less interesting.

Kengan Ashura 2nd Season – Netflix

Started Airing: October 31, 2019

When we talk about new martial arts anime, Kengan Ashura would certainly be among the most popular. Maybe because it has a big resemblance to Baki the Grapper. Since I am a big fan of Baki, this anime caught my attention and I have loved all the bloody fight scenes it offered.

So when you are looking for an anime with a high level of martial art fights, then watch this anime. It has lots of heavy punching, throwing of bodies, kicks, broken ribs, bones and bloody as hell.

Considering that it is similar to Baki the Grapper, expect that you would see a lot of different martial arts styles in this anime. After the successful season 1, you’ll certainly be more entertained with Season 2 where the main character has become more matured, much better and stronger than ever.

Mugen no Juunin: Immortal – Amazon Prime Video

Started Airing: October 10, 2019

This anime is also known as Blade of the Immortal. It is the story of Manji who is a samurai cursed to have eternal life. He is now on a journey to experience death and has to meet a certain condition to achieve this.

On his journey, he met a girl named Rin. She would need the help of Manji in order to avenge the death of her family in the hands of a group of Samurai. They found themselves traveling together in hopes of finding fulfillment in their life.

If you are into bloody anime with a lot of blade fights, this is the anime you are looking for. Since it involves samurai, expect it to have a lot of exciting fight scenes which involve cutting off arms, heads and other parts of the body.

Tenka Hyakken: Meiji-kan e Youkoso!

Started Airing: October 13, 2019

The story of this anime is unique revolving around maidens who are physical incarnations of ancient swords. And since the Era of war is over, they must now try to live a happy and peaceful life.

Though it would certainly be hard to live a peaceful life as they are now faced with a new foe. This story of swords and maidens would certainly captivate you with their kawaii looks. There are a lot of interesting characters in this anime so watching it would certainly be fun. Plus the character design is well made which is a big bonus.

If you love to watch fighting maidens, then you definitely should watch this.

Levius – Netflix

Started Airing: December 2019

Rejoice mecha anime fans. This anime Levius by Netflix would certainly be something to consider watching. Many of the people who were able to watch it guarantees that you’ll also love it so try giving it a shot.

The anime is set in the time after the war which is considered as the Era of Rebirth. In this time, cybernetically augmented fighters are popular especially when you are looking for fame or fortune. The fighters involved in this battle have turned their bodies into a fighting machine.

Our main character Levius is among these fighters whose only purpose for joining is for his love for the sport of boxing. This martial arts anime uses CGI animation which might be good for others and not that good to some. It depends on your preference.

You’ll certainly love rooting for Levius as he starts from the bottom slowly climbing to the top. And of course, the path was not easy as he faces a lot of strong foes along the way. Since it’s boxing, expect a lot of nice action scenes in this anime.

Other New Martial Arts Anime worth Watching

• Da zhu zai
• Xie Wang Zhui Qi
• Mo Dao Zu Shi 2

2020 is an optimistic year for anime fans since there is a lot of highly anticipated anime lined up. This Anime 2020 list will highlight some of the best anime this year.

Plunderer

Date Aired: January 9, 2020

Plunderer is an anime series that is set up in a world ruled by numbers. So basically, everyone has a goal of keeping their number or better known as “count” high as it also indicates their social status. The higher your number is the higher your status in society. Also, a high number could also mean better skills and more power. Sadly, when your number becomes 0, you will be sent to the Abyss. 

The main characters in this anime are Hina and Licht. Both are interesting characters and definitely, their story would be exciting to watch.

Plunderer has great anime so far being able to watch its first 3 episodes. I also would give a thumbs up to the nice character details – it has been constantly nice so far. The opening and ending theme songs are nice too. 

Though there is still a lot to see in this anime, it certainly among the promising ones this year. It’s a shounen adventure and action anime that you don’t want to miss out on.

BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense.

Date aired: Jan 8, 2020

One of the best anime this year 2020 would certainly be BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense. It offers a different twist on fantasy isekai anime shows.

What I liked best about Bofuri is it’s more focused on entertainment and adventure. So far, watching 6 episodes I did not see any serious part of this anime. It’s something that I think would continue the entire series. So if you simply want to enjoy the isekai genre, you’ll certainly love this.

It also has emphasized its gaming characteristics like leveling, acquiring skills, game events, guilds and a lot more. Thus, online gamers would certainly love this.

The main characters Maple and Sally are really cute and fun to watch especially Maple. She is a newbie when it comes to online gaming but you’ll love to see how he defeats anyone who tries to battle her.

When it comes to art, music, and animation, everything is great. It’s really exciting to see what adventures they will take especially not that they already have their guild.

Darwin’s Game

Date aired: Jan 4, 2020

At first, I really think that this anime will not be that good. However, after watching the first episode, I got hooked. Darwin’s Game is an action anime with a touch of gaming. Our main character Kaname got invited in a mysterious game and after accepting it, he became part of the game without knowing the risks.

In the game, he met other interesting characters like Shuka, Rein, Souta, Sui and others. Together, they try to survive the game and find a way on how to finish it.

The action scenes in this anime are exciting and fun to watch. The MC is not too overpowered which I kinda like. He started as a weak player but there are signs of his potentials. He slowly gets used to his Sigil or power as the anime progresses. It’s definitely one of the best this year especially when it comes to the Game category.

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun

Date Aired: January 9, 2020

This anime is also known as Toilet-bound Hanako-kun.

The first thing I noticed with this anime is the different art style. It’s not the usual but its certainly cool enough to keep the anime interesting. Though it’s colorful, it’s not that bright compared to other anime like Plunderer which gives the anime a slightly dark feel. However, you’ll be surprised this anime has a good sense of comedy.

Now, one thing for sure, I think this anime would be hit. It has it all, demon, action, unique art style, interesting story, comedy, drama and also a love story. Even though I have only watched the first 3 episodes so far, I’m really looking forward to the rest of the episodes. 

It’s fun watching this anime due to the comedy and the likable characters Hanako and Yashiro. I definitely would recommend watching it.

Nekopara

Date Aired: January 9, 2020

So far, I have only watched the first episode of this anime. Now if you are a cat lover, then most definitely you will like this anime. The main characters in this show include catgirls – Chocola, Vanilla, Maple Cinnamon, Azuki and Coconut. I personally don’t have much interest in this type of anime but surely it will be a good one for the right audience. 

The anime is under the Comedy and Romance genre. So far, the comedy side was not able to make me laugh but I know in the coming episodes there will be more funny scenes. And the romance part is something that we would still have to look out for.   

I think this romance anime will have a long way to go. 

Dorohedoro

Date Aired: January 9, 2020

Dorohedoro is a dark-themed horror anime with lots of action and a slight taste of comedy. It’s a bloody anime and you’ll discover it right from the start. I think this anime is best for those who are looking for a new action-packed anime to start the year. 

The setting is in a dark place where there is no order, people could just kill anyone. There are guys who could use some magic and those who are very good at it are called “Sorcerers”. These magic-users goes inside this place using a door and test there magic on people. 

The main characters in this anime series are Kaiman and Nikaido. The story revolves around the journey of Kaiman aided by Nikaido in search of the sorcerer who turned his face into a reptile. They try to capture magic users(most of the time ends up being killed) in order to find a solution to Kaiman’s problem and hopefully turn him into a human again.

Dorohedoro is an anime of death and carnage so if you like this theme, your in for a treat. I think the action scenes in this anime is something that we all should look forward to. 

Pet Anime – Amazon Prime

The highlight of this anime are people who are known as PET. They are guys who have the ability to get into people’s minds and control their memories at the same time. This power is pretty useful when it comes to solving mysteries. However, this power does not come with a price. If the person’s heart is not strong enough it will make you insane.

Top Samurai Anime 2019

Dororo (2019)

The top samurai anime in 2019 is no other than Dororo. And it’s not just the best in the samurai genre, many also consider it among the best anime of 2019. 

I personally like this anime because of the intense emotion I felt while watching it. I love anime shows that touch the heart, it makes me want to watch it more. About half of the 24 episodes will give you a teary eye. There are a lot of lessons to learn in this anime aside from watching great action scenes. 

You might be surprised that the first main character you’ll know is Hyakkimaru. Due to his past, he lost most of his body parts and limbs. And now he is on a journey to regain everything back to make his life normal. This, of course, does not come easy since he had to defeat demons to achieve his goal.

Along the way, he met a child called Dororo. Though the first intention was to make use of Hyakkimaru fighting skills. Their experiences together slowly made them close friends.

 This anime has great characters, tons of action scenes, overflowing with emotions and nice animation and soundtrack.

Top Samurai Anime 2018

Gintama.: Shirogane no Tamashii-hen – Kouhan-sen

Gintama is one of the oldest and most popular shounen and samurai anime. Many also consider it among the best anime of all time. The most memorable part of this series (Second Season of the final arc of Gintama) is the showdown between Gintoki and Utsuro. 

Though you often see this anime as comedy, it also has emotional parts, especially with its backstories. When we talk about Gintama it has always been connected with great artwork and animation. Additionally, Gintama has its unique style when it comes to artwork and anime setting and story.   

Even though the anime still centers around Gintoki, other characters are still given enough highlight especially Utsuro. I definitely love this show and recommend it to all samurai lovers.

Best Demon Samurai Anime to Watch

Nurarihyon No Mago

I could still remember that reason why I watched this anime and it was because of how cool its main character looked. The main character here is Rikuo Nura and just by looking at its promotional images, you will already know that he will be a badass when it comes to fighting.

You’ll enjoy watching this demon samurai anime due to its nice animation, fight scenes and interesting characters. Though the whole story for me is a bit boring, you’ll somehow enjoy more knowing the different characters in this anime. Among the characters I liked, are Mezumaru and Gozumaru. Tsurara is quite interesting as well.

Demon Slayer

When we talk about demons, most anime fans would have heard about Demon Slayer which is very much popular in the year 2019. If you’re looking for blade fights against demons, then you definitely should watch this anime. 

One thing I appreciate about Kimetsu no Yaiba is its very nice animation. The action scenes are very detailed and the characters are well designed. The story and the main characters Tanjiro and Nezuko are very interesting which will make it easy to watch all the episodes in just a couple of days.

It is also important to mention that the anime was able to keep every episode interesting that even if there are no fight scenes you will not find the episode a waste of time. 

Mushibugyou (Mushibugyo)

Mushibugyou is an anime that is set in a time when Japan was inhabited by giant insects. Though most of the creatures considered as evil in this anime are giant insects, there are those stronger insects where I would consider as demons. 

 And since there are insects killing innocent people, there is also a group of strong and powerful guys who are determined to bring all these insects down. Among this group of insect-killers is our main character Jinbei Tsukishima. This anime is certainly fun to watch especially if you are a fan of samurai anime with demon protagonists. 

The group Mushibugyo was created by the government in order to protect the people. The members of this group are pretty cool and awesome which also adds to the positive side of this anime. There are a lot of interesting strong characters like Mugai and Kotori. You’ll also have your eyes on Shungiku.

The fight scenes in this anime are really good though the animation is not as good as the recent anime shows, still its fun to watch. There are fight scenes that are insanely awesome that will leave you at the edge of your seat. 

Best samurai romance anime

Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin)

If you are looking for a samurai anime with a touch of romance, then the best one would certainly be Samurai X. Aside from the great samurai fight scenes when Kenshin Himura fought a lot of strong guys, it’s also a love story between Ken and Kaoru.

Kenshin’s life changed the moment he met Kaoru and until the end part of this anime you’ll see the importance of Kaoru in Kenshin’s life especially on his decision to change for the better.

What I like about this anime aside from the excellent fight scenes with blades are the lessons that come with it. This anime comes with life lessons that you can also apply in your life. It has everything you need in an anime – fight scenes, drama and comedy. You’ll certainly not regret watching this.

Kuromukuro

Kuromukuro is a 2 season anime where season 1 has 13 episodes and season 2 has 26. It is regarded as one of the best anime in the year 2016. It’s a mecha anime but with a touch of samurai since among the main character Kennosuke who is a skilled samurai from years past. His mission now is to protect Yukina whom he thinks is the princess he vowed to protect.

If you are a fan of anime with lots of robots you’ll definitely like this show. And since it has a samurai in it, certainly you’ll in for a lot of great action fights.  

When talking about visuals, it was certainly one of the best during its year. The characters look vibrant and attractive all throughout the episodes and considering it got a season 2, you’ll pretty much be ok with watching it.

Samurai 7

Samurai 7 is an action/drama type of anime. I always appreciate an anime that can touch the viewer’s heart, thus I consider this show a good one. And of course, since the main characters are samurai, expect a lot of great action fights. 

This anime is the story of 7 Samurai who responded to the request of a village who needs help. It is set in the futuristic time where there are still a few samurai. And speaking of futuristic, it also has mecha characters in it. This samurai anime is certainly action-packed that you would enjoy watching. 

Samurai Champloo

This anime tells the journey of 3 characters where 2 of them Mugen and Jin are samurai. They went on a journey to help Fuu find someone. Even though it is an old anime, it doesn’t make it less entertaining. It is an all-time favorite and could also be considered as among the classic anime of all times. 

Aside from being an action-packed samurai anime, it also has a funny side plus some dramatic moments. Though you most probably would enjoy more the action part. It’s an adventure anime which is fun to watch powered with excellent soundtracks and interesting characters.

The strongest samurai in anime

Kenshin Himura

For me, the strongest samurai in anime would be no other than Kenshin Himura. He is a known samurai in his time and many also call him the Battosai. After killing thousands of people during the War, he is set on a redemption journey, vowed never to kill again.

Though he looks small and slender, he is pretty good at using his katana. It’s easy to identify him because of his X scar on his face. He is certainly the most skilled samurai in the anime world. Kenshin could cut through steel and he could cut neatly that the target can be reattached like it was never cut.

I love magic anime and when its coupled with fighting it becomes more exciting to watch. If you are looking for such an anime in this category, then you’ve landed on the right page. Physical fights plus magic animation makes every action scenes exciting and fun to watch.

Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic

When we talk about magic, one of the most popular anime in this genre is Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic. In this anime, you’ll be introduced to dungeons, treasures, Djinn guardians and magicians. The anime is about the journey of Alibaba and a boy who wanted to help him named Aladdin. It’s a shounen anime that you will easily fall in love with.

Aside from Magic, there is also a lot of fighting in this anime including fight scenes against animals and other monsters. You will be treated with exciting fight scenes that are done in excellent animation. The quality of animation keeps on improving per episode. 

Fairy Tail

Fairy Tail is in a world where magic is part of life. There are a lot of people who were gifted with the ability to use magic. These mages form guilds and one of this Fairy Tail.  

Part of the Fairy Tail guild is our main characters, Natsu, Lucy, and Gray. And together with other guild members, they continue to pursue their personal goals while protecting the world where they live against wicked guilds. 

And since its a time of magic, expect a lot of fights with magic in it, from magic in the form of water, air, fire and other magical capabilities you could think of. The good thing about this anime is aside from a lot of fights and magic, it is also filled with laughter, adventure, and even sadness

Overlord

Overlord is among the most popular Isekai anime created. So far it finished with its third season and everyone is looking forward for the 4th season to come.

One of the most popular and strongest characters that can yield magic in the anime world is Ainz Ooal Gown of Overlord. Though I think this anime is more on the magic side since our main character is a magic caster, it still has a lot of nice fight scenes from the other supporting characters.

Additionally, our protagonist Ainz Ooal Gown has the ability to change into a character that is very much efficient when it comes to physical fights. This makes him very powerful and could be the most powerful being in their world.

If you are interested in watching magic, fight scenes and RPG concept anime, then Overlord is perfect. 

Anime with magic and fighting

Black Clover

Black Clover is the story of Asta who wanted to become a Wizard King. However, it was hard for him to manifest any magical powers. And in their time, magic is considered a gift to only a few. 

If you are looking for an action-packed magical anime, this will not fail. Though you will find it less exciting after watching many of its episodes since its a huge show, in general, still it’s a good anime to watch.

The fight scenes are pretty cool especially when it comes to fights with main protagonists. Think about the scenes between Naruto and Pain or Ichigo and Aizen.

It is somehow similar to Fairy Tail when it comes to the number of supporting characters this anime has. And they also have the same Shouting Protagonist(lol). And when it comes to characters, I would give it a 9/10 rating.

It’s a shounen magic show that is fun to watch and something that you’ll surely enjoy as a shounen fan.

Anime with magic school

The Irregular At Magic High School

This anime revolves around a magical institution environment. It’s in a school with students who are magic users. In their time, magic users play a very big role in a nation’s army – their ability to fight for their nation.

The story revolves around the journey of Tatsuya Shiba and his sister Miyuki as they enroll in a top magical school in their country and learn more about their abilities. One thing to look forward to in this anime is the tournament arc where you will definitely be treated with great action fights. The hand to hand combat of Tatsuya with other characters is also really awesome to watch.

Fantasy magic anime

The Seven Deadly Sins

 The anime is a story of Elizabeth and Meliodas together with the rest of the group called “The Seven Deadly Sins”. This group is feared due to their abilities and powers, but they are actually not the bad guys.

With the use of their magical powers, they fight against various groups with evil plans. Their main rival is a group known to be the 10 Commandments. 

This anime is packed with fight scenes and you’ll definitely lot it when Meliodas(Sin of Wrath), Ban(The Immortal Sin of Greed), and Escanor(The Sin of Pride) start to fight seriously. It also has humor which makes it more fun to watch.

The Ancient Magus’ Bride

Aside from a fantasy anime, this show could also be classified as mystery and supernatural. It has some interesting characters led by Chise and Elias Ainsworth. The Ancient Magus’ Bride is an anime that is full of creatures like spirits, fairies, and dragons. 

With an interesting story and characters, I would recommend this anime to anyone. Another great thing about the show is it has rounded up pretty well. You will not be left out hanging. The ending is enough that you would appreciate it and somehow still has something that the viewers would look forward to in another season.

Best magic anime 2018

Iroduku: The World in Colors

This anime will surely capture your heart. I find it a very great anime especially in the genre of magic and fantasy. One thing that makes this the best is its great animation. You will appreciate how the characters are made in pretty decent design quality.

The story of this anime is about a mage who met and accident. I would not dive into the details here for you to figure out what this accident is and how it changed the life of our main character. 

It surely is one of the best anime in 2018 that deals with magic. I would recommend watching it especially for those who are tired of watching anime fights and wants to see something more emotional with a slice of life. 

New magic anime 2019

Kenja no Mago

Date aired: Apr 10, 2019 to Jun 26, 2019

This anime also known as Wise Man’s Grandchild, is the story of Shin Walford who lives in a world where monster and magic exists. He is adopted by a famed magician which helped him improved his magic. After surpassing the abilities of his father, he decided to enroll in a magic academy to improve his skills. Slowly, people in that school realize how powerful Shin is.  

Since its an Isekai anime, I easily fall in love with it. So if you are in this genre also, you’ll appreciate it also. Though some are saying it’s not as efficient as other Isekai anime mainly because most of the time you’ll forget its Isekai. You’ll know what I mean when you watch it. Still, for me, it’s fun to watch and you’ll certainly enjoy watching it. 

Another thing I liked about this anime is that is has a lot of characters. I prefer an anime series with lots of characters while still being able to determine which ones are the main casts. So if you are looking for a magic Isekai, check this out.

Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia

Fate/Grand Order is definitely a great anime however, it is mainly targeted to viewers who have played the mobile game. You will get confused watching this if you are not playing the game. However, for those who are into this game, this is what they are waiting for.   

The visual and animation part of this anime is well applauded. They have brilliantly incorporated the CGI effects in this anime. Great use of colors which makes everything look stunning. Adding to this is the excellent sound effects and OST. 

The anime is actually a prequel on what is to come this coming October. And, we certainly could expect it to be a good one and well-executed. 

Fairy Gone 2nd Season

Aired: Oct 7, 2019 to Dec 23, 2019

Fairy Gone is set in a time and world where humans gained supernatural abilities due to Fairies. These Fairies and Possess Animals were used as a weapon by transplanting their organs to people. And these people were used as soldiers due to their improved abilities. But since the war has ended, these soldiers are now trying to live a normal life, but there are some who have used their abilities for evil purposes.

Though there were a lot of great expectations for this new anime, it somehow failed to deliver. Its failure is most likely due to how it managed the story, by failing to give a good plot.   

When it comes to design and animation, It was fairly good during the first few episodes. However, quality slowly fads as the episodes progress. So if you are particular with this part of an anime show, then you should not watch this.

And for those who have watched season 1 which was considered a failure, it would be best not to go on watching season 2 since it somehow failed to deliver a big blow to improve the anime. 

For those who have not watched it yet, there are still some reasons to consider watching this anime which are its characters. I personally think that the characters are interesting enough. And you would still enjoy watching this action-packed, magical show.

Best magic anime 2019

Radiant

Date aired: Oct 6, 2018 to Feb 23, 2019

Radiant anime is about the magical journey of Seth in search of the Radiant which is the place believed to be the source of monsters in their world. He is on a mission to completely eradicate the monster by eliminating where these monsters originate. Along the way, he met new friends and together they fought against different kinds of enemies.  

When it comes to Visuals and Animation, it will surely not disappoint. Everything is really beautiful and crisp with blight colors. The action scenes are pretty awesome plus made more captivating with magic effects. The best thing is that they were able to be consistent with this high-quality animation.

The characters are intriguing and interesting enough to make you watch all its episodes and look forward to its Season 2.
