Little Witch Academia (2013)

Trailer Little Witch Academia

While new anime fans are often introduced to the buzzing action anime My Hero Academia, the two series have more in common than just the title. In both films, an unusual "ordinary" kid is inspired by his hero, then enrolls in a special school to imitate that hero.

In Little Witch Academia, that orator is Akko, who aspires to become a witch to help people and make them happy. Her magical powers are limited, but she's trying, and Little Witch Academia follows her as she makes new friends at the witch school. The gentle tone of the series makes it accessible to those new to the anime world, and is therefore a great choice for anime for newbies.

RWBY (2013-)

Trailer RWBY

With nine seasons so far, maybe no one thinks RWBY is a suitable anime for beginners, but the fact is that it's surprisingly short. Although there are many seasons, the first episodes are very short, there are episodes that last no more than 2 minutes, making it very quick to watch this series.

RWBY follows Team RWBY and their teammates on their journey to become Hunters in a world haunted by monsters, known in RWBY as the Grimm. On that journey, they will embark on an adventure to defeat the mysterious woman Salem. With the live-to-video film slated for release in 2023, RWBY is an action-adventure anime series that continues to deliver dramatic matchups.

Parasyte: The Maxim (2014-2015)

Trailer Parasyte: The Maxim

Parasyte: The Maxim may be one of the most underrated anime series of the past decade. Based on a classic manga series from the 90s, Parasyte tells the story of a young man named Shinichi who wakes up to find his right hand has been eaten and replaced with an alien parasite. The aliens, eventually known as Migi, are part of an invading force that is silently invading Earth, and Shinichi must learn to live with the parasitic creatures if he wants to stand a chance against them. Although a bit dark (viewers have to accept the phenomenon of body horror), the intriguing characters and their evolution throughout the series make Parasyte a must-watch.

Genre: Animation, Action
Character Name: Shinichi, Migi
