Black Butler (mystery, adventure, and comedy)                                                                                                           

“Black Butler” is about Ciel Phantomhive (12- years-old) who makes a deal with the devilishly Sebastian. He desires revenge for the people who tortured him and for his parents that died in fire at Phantomhive mansion. This anime pretty much gives you the basics like gory scenes and your typical nosebleeds. Oh and don’t forget the fan service.  Besides having that revenge theme, there is some humor to it but I won’t spoil it. ^.^ If you like mystery, adventure, with a hint of comedy, I recommend “Black Butler.”

Attack On Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) (horror and adventure)

“Attack On Titan” is also a gory anime, but it’s a little bit stronger. Humanity is on the edge because of man-eating monsters called Titans. Eren Jaeger and others are forced to live in walls divided by three barriers. This is humanity’s way of surviving.

Noragami (supernatural, action, comedy, romance)

“Noragami” is about a not so well known god of Calamity called Yato. Yato only grants requests if you pay him. One day, Hiyori is walking with her best friend noticing Yato chasing a cat in the middle of the street. Hiyori pushes him out of the way, but her soul gets knocked out of her body causing her to become a phantom. Their meeting will cause a great impact on others. The concept is very interesting and great for any beginner. This anime is also well known for their catchy and upbeat openings.

Durarara!! (fiction and thriller)

“Durarara!!” does not revolve around one character, but multiple characters. Each character will connect somehow to each other with their interesting personalities and past. Ikebukuro is the city filled with crime and the headless rider.  Mikado is just an excited boy who just moved to the city. Masaomi is his tour guide. Mikado meets multiple people in his tour that will be mentioned later in the anime. Mikado later  finds out that gangs are around every corner of Ikebukuro with their signs, but there is one gang called the Dollars. The Dollars are colorless, anyone can be in it and you wouldn’t know. With twists and turns at every corner, who knows what will happen? Everyone in this anime plays a huge part in the story! It’s a very interesting format.

Ouran Highschool Host Club (romance, comedy, and drama)

There are five types of hosts: the princely type, the cool type, the boy Lolita type, the strong and silent type, and the devil type. Haruhi becomes the natural type. Everyone in the host club supports each other and always tries to help one another when down. It’s a very warm hearted anime.

It also creates tension whenever a classroom trial is held.

Lelouch Lamperouge (Lelouch Vi Britannia) is a sly and smart high schooler who is barely in school because he’s always gambling. One day Lelouch comes back from defeating his opponent.
