Most Addictive Anime Series

The Top Ten
1 Death Note Death Note is a Japanese television drama anime series based on the manga series of the same name by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. The show is centered around Light Yagami - a promising highschooler and aspiring detective with a strong sense of "justice".

In my opinion, this show could've been The GOAT. It has probably influenced a lot of writers because of it's intelligence. The show's two main characters/rivals were so perfect for the story, take L out and it does not work, take Light out and it also wont work. That acted as a double edged sword, soon as L died the strength of the story diminished. Overall tho, still up there

It will get you hooked and play with your mind. The author used such tactics and plans it will leave you shocked. Oh and don't get me started on the main characters Light and L they like literally carried the show on them with L's successor taking over gradually.

2 One Piece One Piece is a manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. The manga has been adapted into an original video animation (OVA) produced by Production I.G in 1998, and an anime series produced by Toei Animation, which began broadcasting in Japan in 1999 and has aired 851 episodes to date.

One Piece combines humour with adventure and is full of fun and energy. The character of Monkey D. Luffy is full of colour.

I still need to watch this. Hopefully this summer I will start it since I'm out of class like in a week.

Its long as crap too. Meaning that the very addiction is very hard to kick.

3 Dragon Ball Z Dragon Ball Z is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation. Dragon Ball Z follows the adventures of Goku who, along with the Z Warriors, defends the Earth against evil. The action adventures are entertaining and reinforce the concept of good versus evil.

Dragon Ball Z is one of the best anime by no doubt. You can never get bored of watching it again and again.

It's also a fun type. So watch the whole DB series(Dragon Ball, DBZ, DB Super) in one shot and you will love it definitely.

4 Attack on Titan Attack on Titan, also known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japanese, created by Hajime Isayama, is one of the most popular Japanese anime series to be released. It was first watched in Japan during 2013 and was dubbed in English to be watched in America in 2014. It is best known for its emotional moments,... read more

My 3rd Masterpiece. First I thought its all about some giants stuff and didn't watch it. But after watching it deserves its title as one of the Best anime ever.

One of the best anime you will ever find. It goes from a cliché to having such an interesting and well thought out plot with twists you would not see coming. Chef kisses.

5 Naruto Naruto is an anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. The manga was later adapted into a television anime, which was produced by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex. It premiered across Japan on the terrestrial TV Tokyo and other TX Network stations on October 3, 2002. The first series... read more

No matter what you say it is a classic and despite some plot holes is pretty good anime which I feel has the perfect balance between humor, some built up surprises, romance, brotherhood and rivalry.

Naruto was my best friends favourite anime, he recommended it to me and I really enjoyed it.

I love his goal to save Sasuke. Naruto isn't just an anime there is a true lesson I love it

6 Fairy Tail Fairy Tail is a manga franchise created by Hiro Mashima.

Well it's a sort of fun type. Watch it at last after completing the top animes.

In 1999, Hunter × Hunter was adapted into a 62-episode anime television series produced by Nippon Animation and directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi.

It's also one of the Best animes ever. I love it till Phantom Arc. The only thing I hated is that there isn't any work of other hunters. You will understand once you watch it nothing more to say

8 Bleach Bleach is a Japanese anime series based on Tite Kubo's manga of the same name. Bleach adapts the first 54 volumes of Tite Kubo's manga series of the same name. In addition, 4 anime-original arcs were broadcast in-between and during the adaptations of original arcs of the manga... read more

It's really good. It will get you hooked. Once you start it you will just want to see and more and more as the story unravels itself.

Bleach is a great supernatural anime which is very interesting and addictive.

So many characters, and we get to see all of their stories. In some way one or another they all connect. Tite Kubo did fantastic

9 Code Geass Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, often referred to as simply Code Geass, is a Japanese anime series created by Sunrise, directed by Gorō Taniguchi, and written by Ichirō Ōkouchi, with original character designs by manga authors Clamp.

The suspense of what is about to happen is something you can predict.
You may be able to predict almost any stories before it happens, But its only fun if you can't predict whats coming.

This anime is the same. You can't always predict whats next (At least not so accurately as other anime.

Very cleverly written show, I watched in awe as the plot reveals itself before me. Only show that can rival the writing technique of the creator is Death note

Ah this is one of the best anime's to exist. You will fall in love with it. Especially the MC. Just chef kisses.

10 Naruto Shippuden Naruto: Shippuden is the ongoing sequel to the original Naruto anime and covers the Naruto manga from volume twenty-eight on. The TV adaptation of Naruto: Shippuden debuted in Japan on February 15, 2007 on TV Tokyo. It is developed by Studio Pierrot and directed by Hayato Date.

It shows some pretty good character growth for our main heroes Naruto and Sasuke and focuses on their point of views how they become grow to fill their positions and exactly how they are connected. (The Indra and Asura arc was really intriguing. Indra I don't know why just became one of my favs don't judge me. )

Action packed, emotional whirl wind adventure starring our favorite upbeat protagonist still on his never ending, but still fun as hell quest to be hokage. This is a must watch

This is just awesome. Everybody knows about it. It's just if you haven't watched it yet you aren't anime fan. 1st Masterpiece.

The Contenders
11 Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is an anime series adapted from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga by Hiromu Arakawa.

If any anime I watched more than 10 times all the way through (Not just re watching specific episodes like with Pokemon), it was both FMA 2003 and Brotherhood.

A gem. This show had me from start to end, a very immersive world and story. Don't really have much to say about it since I think we can all agree that this is one of the greats

Surely one of the best no doubt about it. Just watch it.

12 One Punch Man One-Punch Man is an ongoing, online, web comic, which was later adapted into a Manga and Anime series .

1st season it's really good. You should definitely see it. However it goes downhill from second season when another company took over it's animation. Your call.

13 Sword Art Online Sword Art Online is a series of Japanese light novels written by Reki Kawahara and illustrated by abec. In 2012, it received an anime adaptation produced by A-1 Pictures and the SAO Project, and is directed by Tomohiko Ito . The first season is divided into two arcs known as "Aincrad" and "Fairy Dance"... read more

I absolutely love the story line the characters just everything! Haha Time to watch more Sword Art Online!~

14 My Hero Academia

It had a slow progress. However you see the characters grow gradually feel disappointment in their failure and pride in their success. Overall it's good for people invested in Shonen.

This deserves to be in the top 10. the clever build up of BNHA's story is reminiscent of MCU's technique. Kohei Horikoshi also pays attention up to the tiniest of detail. Watch it with a serious eye for detail and you'll love every second of this show.

15 Black Clover

Has some slow parts but is action packed for the most part and mixes a serious tone with comedic moments.

16 Pokemon Pokémon, abbreviated from the Japanese title of Pocket Monsters and currently advertised in English as Pokémon: The Series, is a Japanese anime television series, which has been adapted for the international television markets.

Again, just like One Piece, it is LONG, meaning that the addiction is still very hard to kick.

20 Steins;Gate Steins;Gate is a 2011 anime television series created by the animation studio White Fox based on 5pb. and Nitroplus's 2009 video game of the same name, and is part of the Science Adventure franchise.

Arguably one of the bests. It's just sad that some people drop it because of it's confusing start, but that actually is the beauty of this series. Cause it will all make sense slowly, and in a very surprising way.

Start is totally confusing, you will think it's not my type. But after 4-5 episodes you will be surely addicted(100% guaranteed)

21 Fullmetal Alchemist Fullmetal Alchemist is an anime series adapted from the manga of the same name by Hiromu Arakawa.

23 Trigun Trigun is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow. The manga was serialized in Tokuma Shoten's Shōnen Captain in 1995 with three collected volumes when the magazine was discontinued in 1997.

One of my favorites it starts of pretty good with humor has it's surprise element. The story will leave you wanting to know more.

24 Kamisama Hajimemashita
25 Monogatari Series

It's the baggage of suspense mysterious supernatural adventures narrated by the the characters and their view point. I find it really addictive since I watched Bakemonogatari. I'm sure its unique art style and presentation will also charm you. It may come tagged as Harem but It don't focus obsessively on it like other anime. ie it doesn't go overboard with it
