I’ve been watching anime for a few years now, and I’ve come to notice that I binge-watch A LOT. Before we get on with the list, let's first define this behavior that we do on the weekend: binge-watching! it is when you watch a series for a long time span, usually of a single series. I was hooked on anime when my younger brother got me to watch naruto with him (forcefully, i might add) and since then i have developed a deep love and addiction to some of the series. So don’t make any plans this weekend, because here are 15 of the most binge-worthy anime out there.
Naruto & Naruto Shippuuden - OK! so here i m being biased or something but i absolutely love love love naruto. Naruto is a comic series written by Masashi Kishimoto in 1995 ( Manga comic came in 1995 not the episodes ovio! but damn old is really gold!). The Action/Fantasy genre is one of my personal favorites, not in the anime itself, but in the magical story and the amazing adventures that each and every one of our characters take. It's a genre which I think anyone can enjoy no matter if your a serious person or someone just completely childish. You will eventually fall in love with this anime because no matter who you are, who doesn't love seeing a young ninja trying to reach his dreams even though many challenges lie in his path along with him being a 9-tailed demon fox as well.

Boruto : Narutos Next Generations - I know this is so goddamn obvious... but i cant help it! after the death of our one and only kishimoto, Naruto series ended and left me curious about their lives after. When it was announced that Noriyuki Abe & Hiroyuki Yamashita were directing boruto written by Ukyō Kodachi and illustrated by Mikio Ikemoto i was over the moon. First i was not really happy with the series because after naruto the exceptions are high bitch! but as the series progressed goddamn! it blows my mind. Must watch!

Attack on Titan (a.k.a. Shingeki no Kyojin) - This tv series is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama. It is based on a Giant human like creature Apocalypse situation and lots of fighting and survival of humankind and i absolutely it. This is 3rd because this is one series and just fell upon but never saw then my friend started seeing it and it tingled my spidey senses and i was hooked, line and sinker. I highly recommend this if you are like walking dead kind of person. (P.S. - I love Captain Levi Ackerman goddamn the guy is intense and HOT!)

Btooom! - Imagine being stranded on a tropical island with no recollection of how or why you got there. This is what happens to Ryota Sakamoto a 22-year-old NEET who lives with his mother and spends his days doing nothing but play video games. On the island, it doesn’t take him long to figure out what’s going on: It’s the same as his favorite video game, Btooom! . Intresting right! i was so facinated with nerve the movie i saw just on vimp and loved it so much that started to search anime similar to it and fell upon this series not only i got myself hooked but got my best friends hooked too.

Claymore - Humans are not the only creatures that roam the world, there are also the youma—creatures that feed on human flesh and blood. Apart from being flesh-eating monsters, they have the ability to blend in with humans by taking their appearance. To destroy these creatures, the Organization created half-human, half-Youma warriors known as the Claymores. The series follows Raki, a young boy who lost his family during a Youma attack and the Claymore, Clare, who saved him from this cruel fate. So this is slightly similar to attack on titan but i love this too so whay not!

High School DxD - OMG ! this is the most hillarious series ever. In this series, The story centers around Issei Hyoudou, a dim-witted, peeping tom high school student who dreams of having his own harem. On his first date with a girl, he gets killed by a fallen angel. Nevertheless, Rias Gremory gives him a second chance at life as a reincarnated devil, and from that day forward, he serves as a servant and member of the of school's Occult Research Club. Must Watch !

Darker than Black - I love my own share of sci-Fi and mystery and in anime darker than black is the water that quenches my thirst of anime in Mystery and sci-fi genre. Ten years ago, two impenetrable fields appeared, one in South America—Heaven’s Gate—and the other one in Japan—Hell’s Gate. Many do not know what is the purpose of the gates; however, when getting close to one of them, the very laws of physics are ignored. With the appearance of these Gates emerged Contractors, who exchange their humanity for supernatural abilities. The story follows Hei, a Contractor for the Syndicate, and his assistant, Yin, who work for one of the many agencies competing to unlock the mysteries of Hell's Gate. Love Mystery and anime do watch.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric search for the Philsopher's Stone, hoping to restore their bodies, which were lost when they attempted to use their alchemy skills to resurrect their deceased mother. Edward, who lost only limbs, joins the State Military, which gives him the freedom to continue the search as he tries to restore his brother, whose soul is tethered to earth by a suit of armor. However, Edward and Alphonse are not the only ones seeking the powerful stone. And as they search, they learn of a plot to transmute the entire country for reasons they cannot comprehend. Goddamn this series kind off not totally gives me harry potter vibes.

Deathnote - High school genius Light Yagami finds a peculiar notebook on the street: The Death Note—a notepad with the ability to kill people in any way you desire—and tests the Death Note’s power by writing a criminal's name in it. When the criminal dies immediately after writing his name in the Death Note, Light recognizes that a great power has fallen into his hands. With his new powers, he decides to eliminate all criminals to create a world where crime does not exist and he's considered a god. However, the police do not see Light’s “good intentions,” and hire the world’s best detective—the young and unconventional man only known as L—to solve these murders.

Assassination Classroom - One day, a mysterious creature destroys the moon, leaving it in a permanent crescent-moon shape. The creature as known as Koro-sensei (the indestructible teacher) claims responsibility and now wants to destroy the world in March of the following year. After making his plans known, he fills in the teaching position at Kunugigaoka Middle School. It is up to the middle school students to murder their teacher, and they have until graduation to kill it.

Sword Art Online - In the not so far future, the gaming world has changed thanks to virtual reality advancements and “NerveGear" technology. Accordingly, several MMORPG games storm the market, including Sword Art Online. The story follows Kazuto Kirigaya, nicknamed "Kirito," as he is one of the thousands of players who are trapped in the virtual reality game. After it is announced that the only way to leave the game is by beating it, Kirito and his friends take on the quest to free all the minds trapped in Aincrad. But, if they die in Aincrad, they die in real life.

Code Geass - The Holy Empire of Britannia conquered the country known as Japan and now call it Area 11. Its residents lost their rights to self-govern and are now called Elevens. The Empire uses powerfully destructive robotic weapons called Knightmares to ensure control, but someone is about to stand up against it. Lelouch, the black prince, has endless ambition and uses the power of the Geass to build a world based on his ideals. Suzaku Kururugi, the white knight, aspires to justice and strives to live an honest and fair life. action thriller, Yasss Bitch!

One-Piece - It is really difficult to sum up the story of a series with hundreds and hundreds of episodes, but I guarantee you that the main character, Luffy, will provide you a meaningful life lesson. He will teach you that if you decide to accomplish something, you should give your all and fight to achieve your goal till the last moment of your life. This message alone makes this anime great, but its a mixture of everything comedy, inspirational, fun etc.

One Punch Man - One-Punch Man follows a hero who can end all his fights with a single punch, and that gets him frustrated. Now you might be thinking, what’s so interesting about that? Don’t you want to see the hero struggling to kill his enemy? Well not this time. Here you will see a super-overpowered hero struggling to find a stronger enemy, struggling to feel the thrill and adrenaline of the fights he once felt when he was weak. Was his training to become strong not worth it after all? Watch the show to get your answers... Trust me its worth the watch!

Tokyo Ghoul - Ghouls are terrifying creatures that feed on human flesh. When Kaneki is almost killed in an attack, he transforms into a half-ghoul, half-human hybrid and is forced to adapt to their lifestyle in order to survive. Is this show good? Yes, without a doubt, but our advice is that if you happen to find gore disturbing, then you should watch the censored version

so those are some of anime i recommend to everyone personally. Hope you like it and see you in my next post till then
ADIOS!
