    So in my experience of watching anime I have been deemed a feels addict. I have been all over the battlefield that is anime. These are some of the titles I have seen that will make you think about things you never thought you would think about by the end of them.

    1. Your Lie in April

    your-lie-in-april.thumb.jpg.e09bd061c8835442f198f3312b8425cd.jpg

    Without spoiling anything, this anime is about a boy who plays piano and the things he needs to overcome to keep playing. The setting is amazing, the art is wonderful, and the story it tells is one that you will remember. By the end of this anime, you will have rolled through so many different emotions that you won’t no what you are doing any more. I Highly recommend Your Lie in April.

    2. Say I Love You

    say-i-love-you.jpg.8e91fd51d9a9e8ad06c84d0c3c143101.jpg

    Say I Love you is about an outcast girl who meets the most popular guy in school and he falls for her. At this point you are thinking greeaaaat, another romance anime, but this title is more than that. It tells the story of how an outcast is able to make new friends, build trust in others, and forge new relationships and feel things she has never felt before. This anime will take you on a 13 episode emotional roller coaster and leave you smiling at the end.

    3. Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!

    love-chunibyo-other-delusions.thumb.jpg.be98bc3a6ca85de312305bf74b925993.jpg

    Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions is a very light hearted anime that delves into some interesting topics to say the least. This anime starts off nice and easy and then brings you into the feels zone. You will laugh and cry with the characters and generally be glued to the screen. This anime will make you feel very happy at the end and it will also teach you some lessons, such as to accept people as they are.

    And so ends this list. If you like this list and would like to see another please let me know. I had fun writing this and I would very much enjoy writing another. See ya!

    Sincerely,
    Paladin Lunchmeat

  1. 5. Death Parade
    Okay, I know this isn’t exactly what you would call a Survival Game, but it’s somewhat similar to it.

    Genre: Drama, Mystery, Psychological
    Episodes: 12
    Aired: Jan 2015 – Mar 2015
    The anime plays in the bar Quin Decim and follows a bartender, who makes his guests play games for their life – well, that’s what they think. But in reality they’re already dead and in the afterlife, competing against each other to see who deserves to go up or down.
    The 2 competitors are always related in some way, but they lose their memories about how they died and can only gain them back, if they play the game. This gives the anime a good dose of drama and you notice how you start feeling with the characters after just one episode.

    4. Deadman Wonderland
    This anime stayed in my memory mostly because of the character designs – not only did they have very unique looks, but their personalities also differ.

    Episodes: 12
    Aired: Apr 2011 – Jul 2011
    Genres: Manglobe

    The teenage boy Ganta is sentenced to death after he was the only survivor when a mysterious man killed every student of his class. He then has to go to the craziest prison you’ve ever seen – Deadman Wonderland.

    The prisoners of this disturbing place are forced to compete against each other in many different death matches.

    3. Danganronpa: The Animation
    I never thought this anime would actually become one of my favorite animes so far. The mix of mystery and survival game is great and makes you want to continue after you’ve finished an episode.

    Genres: Mystery, Psychological, Thriller
    Episodes: 13
    Aired: Jul 2013 – Sep 2013
    Naegi Makoto was invited to enter a high school for people with special talents – even though he has none.
    Soon enough this school turns out to be a survival game: 15 students are captured and the only way to get out is to kill someone without anybody noticing. But if someone finds out, you die.

    2. Mirai Nikki
    The anime, that is famous for its yandere character, Yuno Gasai.

    Genres: Action, Mystery, Psychological, Thriller
    Aired: Okt 2011 – Apr 2012
    Episodes: 26
    The story follows the student Yukki, who writes everything he sees around him in his phone diary. One day he gets a strange message from his imaginary friend, that he is supposed to participate in a survival game.

    If you’re the last participant alive, you become the God of time and space. Later he finds out, that his diary can suddenly tell the future – but he’s not the only one who owns something as powerful as that; Every participant has their own unique diary, that gives them a different advantage or disadvantage in battles.

    1. Btooom!
    No matter how often I watch this anime, it never gets boring!

    Genres: Action, Psychological
    Episodes: 12
    Aired: Okt 2012 – Dec 2012
    Ryouta is a NEET – he doesn’t go to school, doesn’t have a job, the only thing that is on his mind is the famous game Btooom. In this game you try to kill people with different types of bombs.

    Suddenly Ryouta finds himself on an island with many people trying to kill each other. He then finds out that somebody he knows sent him there to die. But there is still one chance to get out of this survival game: You have to kill seven people. And the only weapon you have is bombs – just like in Btooom.

    We all have to start somewhere and it’s not easy with so much great anime out there , it makes it a little hard to choose what we want to start with.
    There are many genre’s to choose from and depending on where people start they may have a fractured view on the world of anime , especially if the first is not to their liking , so the first is quite important.

    In that regard it is important that the first should have a large enough range so that you can find some part of it to your liking and from there find out more about your own taste in anime , knowing what you like in movies series and books helps quite a lot as well as you can direct yourself more towards what you know you like and develop your palate from there.
    For instance , if you like romance you start off watching romance and as you go on you diverge into romance + mech , romance + supernatural , romance + SoL and so on so that you can find something that you enjoy and from there explore the new genre that you have an interest in and grow more interest in anime as a whole.

    No one ever stops changing so your current favorite series or genre might not always be the same but if you explore and find more that you enjoy you will never find yourself unable to enjoy anime as there will always be something that will interest you.
    Here are a few anime I believe are great for new anime fans or people who want to start watching anime.
    [In no particular order]

    Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso

    This series is a grate starting place if you enjoy mystery or the supernatural. The use of the vampire genre is not over used , though not forgotten or neglected and the series is that much stronger because of it.
