8 Incredible Anime Series You Need To Watch In 2019
Wondering which anime you should have on your watchlist this year? We've got you covered...
Anime fans have truly been spoiled in 2019, with an abundance of debuting and returning shows gracing screens seemingly every week. However, with so many options available and very little time to watch them, it's becoming increasingly difficult for followers to know what they should be investing their time into.
If you're worried that you're going to miss out on the next big thing or afraid that you can't be part of the daily anime water cooler chat, then don't worry because we've got you covered.
Sifting through the biggest releases at the moment and picking out the best of the best is never an easy task, but it's something that has to be done. Whether it's because of their stunning art styles or captivating story lines, these animes have managed to separate themselves from everything else that's been released. These are the cream of the crop in 2019.
From action-packed samurai revenge stories to apocalyptic adventures, there are plenty of options on this list, so hopefully there's something for all anime fans.
8. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
While Demon Slayer might sound like your run-of-the-mill shonen adventure, don't let the name fool you as this show has a lot more heart and emotion than most of the action based shows currently running.
Our protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, starts the show as a well-mannered kid who helps his family by selling charcoal to people in other villages. However, one day he returns home to find that most of his family have been killed by demons. While his sister is still alive, she suffers a far worse fate as she's turned into a demon herself.
With most of his family dead and his sister literally chomping at the bit for some human flesh, Tanjiro decides to become a demon slayer. Sounds pretty par for the course with most revenge focused animes. However, Tanjiro's motives feel like they're less about revenge about more about doing his best to return his life back to some semblance of normalcy.
The art is exactly what you'd expect from a top studio like Ufotable, as they do a fantastic job of showing the various emotions Tanjiro goes through during the series. If this story was given to another studio, they might not have been able to capture Tanjiro's character quite as well as Ufotable have.
While Demon Slayer might not get the plaudits that other shows are currently getting, it still gives a rather predictable genre a much needed breath of fresh air.
