We all love anime. Some of us pride ourselves on watching the most obscure shows imaginable. The more obscure, the truer the fan that you are so to speak. However, is there a comprehensive list of mainstream anime that needs to be watched before you shuffle off into the afterlife? Here are my recommendations for some of the most popular anime to watch before youb die.

1) Hunter X Hunter

Plot

Hunter X Hunter follows the journey of Gon; a young boy who had been told from birth that his parents were dead. However, upon learning that this wasn’t entirely true, Gon sets out to take the Hunter Exam, achieve the coveted title of ‘Hunter’, and hopefully, gain insight into his father’s whereabouts.

Genre

Naruto. Bleach. One Piece. Dragonball. The big three (plus one) lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when One Piece writers revealed it was only halfway through the story after more than 700 episodes. Only Hunter X Hunter, subverter of all Shounen tropes, could stop them, but when the world needed them most, they went on hiatus.

Contender for the greatest action anime of all time, Hunter X Hunter is what fully realised Shounen look at with envy and what baby Shounen wants…
