Top 10 Anime That Exceeded Expectations
Let’s be real anime as a medium is going to be something that will be special in our hearts for years to come we have all had the first-ever anime that we have seen that has stuck with us to this day as the one that started it all right as a medium we tend to not be surprised or hyped when something new comes our way because of this but there are some instances where some anime manages to take you by surprise by exactly how good it is to the point where it catches you off guard before anything we would like to take note that this list is absolutely spoiler-free so you can definitely watch the anime on this list later on with no regrets without further ado let us dive right into the list.
10. HIGURASHI
An anime that is well known by many to be very deceptive from the cover to its cutesy visuals it is the kind of anime that will shock you so much that a tingling sensation will be left inside your brain every single time you recall the experience given to you by the shocking anime the premise is simple enough as you end up following Keiichi Maebara a young teen that moves into a brand new village and makes friends with a group of girls the story continues as Keiichi Maebara ends up learning of the sinister legends behind the town that he now lives in, Higurashi is deceptive in its ways because its initial presentation is of a normal show with teenage children that become the closest of friends only to suddenly take a dark and violent turn with a mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end of each and every arc that this anime has to offer.
9. GOSICK
We all love our fair share of detective stories and frankly with anime like death note taking the genre to extremes with other supernatural elements it is also a genre that is striving to have breaths of fresh air by coming up with unique concepts to have each anime stand out it is safe to say that gosek is one of those anime that managed to achieve that from the get-go although it might be for reasons that you may not expect go 6 starts off as a good mystery anime with many cases to solve by the hands of our two main protagonists kusaya Kujo and Victorique de blas what ends up surprising many and in turn exceeding their expectations however is how the story ends as it takes a dark turn and much of the plot points start to make sense the overarching journey up to that point beautifully led to its conclusion in this unique historical anime definitely an anime worth your time.
8. ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM
Assassination Classroom might have one of the wackiest premises in anime in recent history after all it has the fate of the earth resting on the hands of the deadbeat class of a middle school how exactly do these teeny children have to save the world by learning military-grade assassination techniques and somehow managed to use them on an extraterrestrial creature that has the ability to move at Mach 20 speed no biggie right the thing about assassination classroom is that the premise ends up taking the anime to new heights it is the kind of anime that starts off serious slacks a seriousness off and brings light-hearted elements to it before almost suffocating your attention with its serious ending with a lovable cost and endearing story writing assassination classroom is definitely going to take you by surprise.
7. TORODORA
What do you get when two completely opposite personalities meet with the purpose of helping each other find success in the individual romantic lives being the only thing that ties them together with my friends you get Toradora however you should best leave your presumptions out by the door if you are planning to write this off as just another romantic comedy anime in an oversaturated genre like romance Toradora manages to stay fresh to the point where you will have a hard time breaking away from the series however it truly diversifies itself as a one of a kind when the comedic atmosphere takes a back seat and more interesting and serious elements come into play the backstories of each character are written in a way that gives meaning behind each and every action they make instead of relying on cliches like much other romantic anime tends to do not sleep on Toradora.
6. THE DISASTROUS LIFE OF SAIKI K
With the oversaturated comedy genre within anime, we need to take a good look at everything and ask ourselves this question what makes a comedy anime actually good the disastrous life of psychic provided us with a much-needed answer and it’s his originality this is a comedy anime that is dead sets on not using already existing tropes but still manages to do what it does best with completely unique concepts the usage of the supernatural genre in order to bring a unique blend of comedy in each and every new episode works so nicely the disastrous life of psychic is an anime that managed to make a name for itself with its perfect execution and incomparable wit it is an anime that exceeded the boss set by an oversaturated genre.
5. CODE GEASS
An anime that many would simplify as death note with a max of course someone who actually went through the hassle of going from start to finish would disagree wholeheartedly with that simplistic analysis the story starts off rather simplistically with two factions neck to neck in a war with one another and our protagonist coming in the form of a mysterious vigilante with a great power however the simplistic start is nothing but a ruse as what awaited many after the first few episodes, politics rivalry and camaraderie strained friendships love and hate complex ideologies and absolute visual carnage that is presented through its unique visual style code gas is the kind of anime that turns people off during initial inspection but with the right kind of time and effort put into watching the series will let you in on one of the most underrated anime in history we can safely say that the main protagonist Lelouch will end up being one of your favorite protagonists of all time afterward just you wait.
4. PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA
Number four on our list happens to be another anime that has mastered the art of deception even though the anime is centralized around cute magical girls rest assured that this is not an anime made for the shonen crowd while the premise of average girls getting magical girl piles is practically everywhere this follows the command trend only to take a sharp right turn in order to take you by surprise with its dark undertone yes, this anime is significantly darker than you might realize do not let the cute visuals fool you the anime hits you with heavy psychological settings that will make you constantly question everything regarding the plot Puella magi Madoka Magica is an anime that assures to provide you with a journey that is incomparable to every single anime out there and it is certainly a journey you must take if you dare.
3. SAEKANO
SAEKANO is an anime series that is known for its melodramatic nature and its plot that resonates with many lovers of visual novels and dating simulators imagine a group of people banding together in order to create a dating simulator game only to realize that in order to create a game that will resonate with many you must first experience the things that you are trying to convey through the game yourself that is the journey that Saikana will provide you with its two seasons of anime and finale movie what sets this anime apart is how it managed to give the initial impressions of a borderline uninspired harem storyline only to take a quick turn into becoming one of the most inspired and loved romantic tales ever in anime by the end of the 23 episodes from the anime the conclusion provided by the movie will definitely resonate within your heart Saika no is a hidden gem that should be appreciated by every single person who enjoys romantic anime.
2. STEINS; GATE
