By working together they soon get a way to make humans normal from that stone-like state. As Senku and Taiju make their way through science to revive civilization.

8/10 Parasyte: The Maxim

Parasyte: the maxim is an odd and disturbing anime that is about aliens parasite that burrows themselves into the head of a human and turns them into a zombie-like state taking full control over their body. They are somewhat similar to venom from marvel, but way more horrifying and shocking. The protagonist, Shinichi Izumi, unfortunately, gets infested by one of those parasites but luckily instead of his brain it infected his right hand. The next day he woke up to this new horror he named “Migi”.

Both reached the mutual agreement that they need each other to survive this ordeal, and now they both try to survive the other infected people that are after their lives.

7/10 Darling In The FranXX

Hiro, the protagonist, nearly gave up on his dream to become a pilot until he met Zero Two. Meeting her got his optimism back and rekindled love.

As the machinal Weaponry known as FranXX needs two people to operate a former prodigy and a human hybrid aspiring to become full human someday.

6/10 The Promised Neverland

The Promised Neverland was a bone-chilling post-apocalyptic adventure that revolves around orphans that are being raised as livestock to be harvested by bloodthirsty demons and other monsters. The anime’s first season is downright brutal and horrifying. The mind games played by the character will surely stress out the viewers.

The Promised Neverland’s had emotions and reactions conveyed to absolute perfection. The horrifying face that they had after coming face to face with their nightmarish reality is thrilling to watch.

5/10 Code Geass

Code Geass is one of the most loved seinen series, all thanks to its complicated protagonist and absolute social commentary. It is somewhat kinda similar to Death Note, but what differentiates it is its sci-fi elements and mecha. It is worth watching in every aspect.

Lelouch wanted revenge for what they have done and to reclaim everyone’s freedom from the tyrant Britannia. He was gifted the “Geas” a superpower that allowed him absolute obedience by hypnotizing others. With great power comes great responsibility but Lelouch became drunk on that power and became the exact kind of power he once hated.

4/10 Psycho-Pass

Psycho-Pass doesn’t actually stand out like other on this list, but that doesn’t mean it does not deliver the fun or amazement that are provided by others. It’s actually a pretty good fit in the cyberpunk subgenre. In Psycho-Pass anime society relies on a well-calculated prediction of crimes that are going to happen before it actually occurs. This technology makes the job of law-enforcement personnel, or Enforcers, a lot easier and less resource-consuming. However, it doesn’t mean they can predict each and every crime this result in some of the most sophisticated and harder to crack.

3/10 Trigun

It is one of the oldest sci-fi out there and an unparalleled classic. It’s actually hard to categorize Trigun in any other genre than action because it interfuses together steampunk, Western, and sci-fi elements. However, it works astonishingly well, and every inspiration is advantageous to the plot.

Trigun tells us a story about the misadventure of Vash the Stampede, a fugitive and “outlaw” with a mindblowing bounty of six billion double dollars for the destruction of a city in July. But the main problem is Vast doesn’t even remember what he did wrong due to his retrograde amnesia. This doesn’t help him a bit as the bounty hunter is after his head even though he’s a good person helping people in need.

2/10 Ghost In The Shell

Hollywood owes a lot to this anime, Ghost in The Shell.  The anime-inspired by Wachowski brothers created The Matrix, which we all come to love and is known as one of the best action and sci-fi films of all time. Simply put Ghost In The Shell is one of the best sci-fi anime that is there.

Ghost In The Shell follows the exploits of the android protagonist, Major Motoko Kusanagi. This show shows us the mission that she underwent taking hackers, cyber bullies, and sometimes another android with an overarching sinister plot eventually unfolding.

1/10 Cowboy Bebop
