1. Jujutsu Kaisen
Jujutsu Kaisen has become one of the most well-known anime in recent years, and its enormous global fan following has even earned it a Guinness World Record. The plot is about Yuji Itadori, a high school boy with extraordinary athletic prowess, and is based on the Gege Akutami manga. Following a transformative experience with a cursed object, Yuji consumes the finger of Ryomen Sukuna's potent curse, binding their lives together. The anime examines Yuji's development as he encounters ever more deadly supernatural challenges after he enrols in Tokyo Jujutsu High, a school for sorcerers tasked with fighting curses. Jujutsu Kaisen is a contemporary anime masterpiece that has enthralled viewers with its dramatic battle scenes, intricate character development, and lush animation.
2. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a visually striking masterwork in an era where anime aesthetics are now just as significant as narrative. The anime, which is set in the Taisho period of Japan, centres on Tanjiro Kamado, a good-hearted young man whose life is completely upended when demons kill his family. The sole survivor, his sister Nezuko, gets changed into a demon herself. In his quest for a cure, Tanjiro turns into a demon slayer and sets out on a terrifying adventure that is full of emotional moments and dangerous battles. Widespread praise has been given to Demon Slayer for its amazing animation, particularly for its battle sequences, which are characterized by smooth, quick-paced choreography and stunning special effects.
3. Chainsaw Man
Adapted from the manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, Chainsaw Man has quickly become one of the most talked-about anime in recent years. The story follows Denji, a young boy living in poverty and working as a Devil Hunter to pay off his deceased father's debts. After a betrayal that costs him his life, Denji is resurrected as the titular "Chainsaw Man," a hybrid human-devil who wields chainsaws as weapons. What sets Chainsaw Man apart is its raw, unapologetic tone, as it explores themes of survival, greed, and betrayal with dark humour and shocking twists. The series balances intense action sequences with psychological depth, drawing viewers in with its unique blend of horror, fantasy, and tragedy.

5. My Hero Academia
Since its debut in 2016, My Hero Academia has captured the imaginations of viewers worldwide with its unique take on the superhero genre. Set in a world where nearly everyone has a special ability called a "Quirk," the story follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without a Quirk but who still dreams of becoming a hero. When the world's greatest hero, All Might, passes on his Quirk to Midoriya, the boy's journey begins as he enrols in UA High School, where he trains to become a professional hero. The series has been lauded for its engaging characters, heartfelt story arcs, and exploration of themes such as heroism, identity, and sacrifice.
