The protagonist is a hitman who targets other hitmen to balance justice. This anime takes place in a fictional city where corruption has taken over and has been overrun by hitmen. Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens is great if you’re a fan of action and witty comedy. The world building in Kokkoku is carefully thought out what could have been simplified to moments of time standing still is expanded to develop a full imaginative world with creatures and rules not known to us. When the youngest family member is abducted they use this power to retrieve him, but unbeknownst to them, they’re not the only ones who possess this rare ability. The Yukawa family have passed down the power to freeze time from generation to generation. What would you do if you could freeze time, so that you were the only person who could roam around freely? Kokkoku explores that concept and how people could abuse that power. A Place Further Than the Universe wonderfully examines the process of reconciling with feelings of loss and grief. Along the way, she makes friends who stick with her every step of the way until her dream is realized. She fights to go despite opposition from the expedition team who feels she’s too young to go. Kobuchizawa Shirase is set on going to Antarctica after her mother goes missing on an expedition. If you’re ready for a feel-good slice of life series, this is for you. I recommend you start with the Fashion Model episode.Ī Place Further Than the Universe (TV-14) If you’re looking for something to turn your hair white, Junji Ito doesn’t disappoint. What’s nice about this is that each episode tackles a separate horror-themed story, which allows you to skip around and watch out of sequence. This is a collection of frightening and disturbing tales. Devilman Crybaby is visually pleasing, exciting, thrilling and concluded with a satisfyingly shocking ending. This show was by far the anime I enjoyed the most this season. He uses his new superhuman abilities to fight demons and protect humanity. Akira is possessed and becomes a half demon.

This anime is about exactly what it sounds like it’s about, a devilman who cries a lot. Check out my top 10 list of the best Winter 2018 anime. To be honest, I thought the fall anime season had more wins than winter, but there were a few shows that I enjoyed watching.
