My takes as someone who started watching anime 6 months ago

JJK:
The first anime I started watching was Jujutsu Kaisen, and after about 6 months of watching anime, I still really love it. I really like the power system and the animation, but I can understand why some people think it’s overhyped.
9/10

Hunter x Hunter:
So far, this seems like the best-written anime I’ve watched. I just got past the “video game” arc (Greed Island), which honestly might be my least favorite arc so far — not bad at all, just weaker compared to the others. Still really good though, if that makes sense. I hope it gets even better from here because I haven’t finished it yet.
9.5/10

MHA:
I really like the worldbuilding in My Hero Academia. Season 3 was okay, and I just started Season 4. I’ve heard Seasons 4 and 5 get weaker before it gets better near the end. So far, I’d say it’s above average, but I’d probably put it around the same level as the first part of Naruto from what I’ve watched.
8/10

Demon Slayer:
Demon Slayer is awesome. I just started the very last season, and everything from the art style to the simple but really strong story and great characters makes it feel like an anime that will definitely be looked back on as a classic. It’s also a great starter anime for anyone trying to get into anime, even though I’m only 6 months into anime myself lol.
9/10

Gachiakuta:
This is one of my favorite newer-gen anime so far. I really like how unique the characters feel compared to other stuff I’ve watched. I like the story, the characters, and especially the power system they’ve set up so far. I honestly don’t see enough people talking about it — it feels really underrated if you ignore the weird fandom.
9/10

Hell’s Paradise:
I’ve really liked this one so far. I don’t hear many people talk about it, but I love the story, and Gabimaru the Hollow is one of the more interesting MCs from the newer-gen anime I’ve watched. I’m on Season 2 right now but haven’t finished it yet.
8.5/10

Fire Force:
Maybe I’m crazy, but I don’t really like the first two episodes so far. It feels kind of generic, and I don’t really like the power restrictions they’ve set up yet. The animation is great though. I’ll have to watch a few more episodes before I decide how I really feel about it.
?/10

Devil May Cry: (I know it’s not considered anime now)
I started watching it about 3 weeks ago. It’s okay. I saw a lot of stuff about it on TikTok, but honestly, I’m on the second season and don’t really like it that much. I do love the art style though.
5/10

Akudama Drive:
I really liked it at the beginning. I just wish it had more episodes and became a full series because the ending felt a little rushed. Other than that, I loved the animation and storytelling, especially early on. I just wish it was longer.
8/10

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners:
I know a lot of people love this one. I haven’t finished it yet, but I really like the story. I honestly don’t know why I stopped watching it because it was really good.
?/10

Black Lagoon:
Don’t get me wrong — it’s not some insanely well-written masterpiece or anything, but I’ve really enjoyed it so far. I watched the first season, and I know there isn’t much left in the second season. I really like the characters, and I kind of like how unfiltered it feels compared to most anime I’ve watched. It felt like a breath of fresh air.
8/10

Bleach:
I just started watching the original 2004 anime, and so far it feels really slow-paced — honestly slower than Naruto. But I’ve heard it gets way better as it goes on, so I’m definitely giving it more of a chance.
?/10

Naruto:
I finished the original Naruto. I hated how much filler there was in the last couple of seasons, and because of that I haven’t really sat down to watch Naruto Shippuden yet. Overall, I think Naruto is okay, but maybe that’s because I haven’t watched the second part yet. I don’t know if it gets much better after that.
?/10

One Piece:
I’ve heard so much about One Piece, but I honestly don’t know if I can bring myself to watch something that feels like it never ends. Over 1000 episodes is insane. Maybe there’s something wrong with me, but it feels impossible to catch up at this point. Let me know if I should still give it a chance.
?/10

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure:
The first episode was really confusing to me, but maybe I’m just dumb lol. I hear people talk about it all the time though, so I’m definitely going to give it more of a chance. I literally just started watching it today.
?/10

What should I watch next based on what I’ve seen so far? I’m open to any recommendations.

Ultra Instinct Goku vs Jiren still feels like the peak of Dragon Ball hype 🔥

I just was revisiting Dragon Ball and Goku vs Jiren literally is peak DBZ for me not just because of ultra instinct but how he got to that the whole journey and then the finale his fight with Jiren were phenomenal.

Ultra Instinct wasn’t just another transformation… it felt like the moment Goku truly entered the realm of the Gods.

The entire fight against Jiren was peak Dragon Ball for me. Jiren was overwhelming everyone without even trying, and then Goku unlocked something completely different from raw power. The calm expression, the silver aura, the effortless movements — it felt unreal watching it for the first time.

What made Ultra Instinct special was that it didn’t feel like rage or anger boosting Goku again. It felt like he had reached a higher state entirely, where his body moved on instinct alone. Even the Gods were shocked watching him fight.

And that final clash with Jiren? Still one of the most hype moments in anime history. The animation, music, aura, everything was perfect.

Dragon Ball has had legendary transformations before, but Ultra Instinct genuinely felt historic. 🔥

Anime moments that completely changed the vibe of a series

Some anime scenes don’t just shock you… they permanently change the feeling of the entire story.

For me:

  1. Ace’s death in One Piece

  2. L’s death in Death Note

  3. Eren’s reveal in Attack on Titan

After those moments, the anime never felt the same again.

What moment changed an anime forever for you?

3 anime that start average… but become absolutely insane later 🔥

​

  1. Steins;Gate

Slow beginning for some people, then suddenly turns into one of the best psychological thrillers ever.

  1. Hunter × Hunter

Looks like a basic shonen at first. Then the Chimera Ant arc changes everything.

  1. Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World

Starts like another isekai. Then the suffering begins.

What anime took time to hook you but ended up becoming peak?

Which anime character had the saddest backstory… but still didn’t become evil?

Some anime characters go through unimaginable pain and still choose to protect people instead of becoming monsters.

That’s what makes them unforgettable.

Characters like:

Itachi Uchiha

Ken Kaneki

Thorfinn

had every reason to break completely… but didn’t.

Who’s your pick?

And which anime character’s backstory hit you the hardest emotionally? 👀
