    I'm impressed. Usually these top-videos show animes that I have already watched, but in this case, there are several interesting anime that I have never heard of in more than 2 decades of watching anime.
    This anime world is so vast. I love it.
    Thanks for the video!

    For me, Elfen Lied is both enjoyable with lighter moments, and incredibly dark because it depicts the cruelty of children and those who can act without consequence all too well. For me, it's a permanent keeper (like Ergo Proxy), but not one I watch often.

      Ergo Proxy was pretty good until the forced romance came into play and the very end. They really screwed that up. Elfen Lied suffers from the same problems. They both have unbearable main characters but incredibly strong and well liked heroine's. Just get ride of the male stand ins and you'd have a solid series.

Ive heard all the same recommendations over and over 😅 Your list is very thoughtful and unique! It has so many titles i knew little about and havent even heard of before! This is a genuinely helpful video and i now have 5 shows lined up to be watched next 😄 Thank you!!
    Also, wish more people knew about Rainbow. Still one of the best anime ive ever seen, yet no one ive talked to seems to have heard of it! Hopefully this video gets lots of people checking it out

    "from the new world" starts out chill, but as the story progresses, it gets creepier and creepier. At the end your mind is blown by the sheer cruelty on both sides. Stuck in the middle are the innocent children who grew up not knowing anything until much later. good watch.

    Rainbow is really great, ngl! It's really refreshing to watch characters without powers get through their challenges. It's also a little traumatic, for me at least. I kept getting chills as some of the episodes got me in tears, and there's the feeling of helplessness from the viewer in some scenes.
    The 'beach episode' was so worth the wait though!
