10 Best Gateway Anime

10. Attack On Titan

Chances are, if you have had even the briefest of exposure to anime in the past ten years, you will be aware of Attack on Titan. It is the anime equivalent of shows like Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead. Unlike those shows however, Attack on Titan is consistently good, and there is a very high chance that the creators will stick the landing. It has not fallen into the same trap as so many other Manga adaptations and outpaced its source material, forcing the writers to come up with their own ending.

Set in a world where humanity lives inside cities surrounded by three enormous walls that protect them from the gigantic man-eating humanoids referred to as Titans, the story follows Eren Yeager, who vows to exterminate the Titans after a Titan brings about the destruction of his hometown and the death of his mother.

Outside of the labyrinthine conspiracies, massive battles, and almost endless twists and turns the plot takes, the visuals are what set this show apart from so many others. The fight sequences between the Scout Unit and the Titans are breath-taking; likewise, battles between Titan's will leave viewers slack-jawed and breathless.
