Anime Series On OTT

Demon Slayer

Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaba) is a pure anime genius. It is beauty through and through. It is a tale of pure innocent love, magic, and vengeance. It is the story of Tanjiro Kamada, whose entire family was slaughtered by demons; except for his sister perhaps (but at a great cost). Its intense fight scenes’ choreography is insanely brilliant, along with its vibrant graphic animation and background music. You will not regret watching this; it will get you hooked from the first episode.

Ergo proxy

This anime will make you think. This show is a blend of several themes, it is extremely allegorical and symbolical to the human mind and is also very existential. The anime is both wonderful and dark at the same time.

In a post-apocalyptic setting, over time, the planet has become inhospitable, and whatever is left of mankind now lives inside vast cities with dome-like structures. Re-l Mayer starts looking into the issue when AI robots known as AutoReivs commit crimes and show signs of free will. She embarks on an expedition as a result of which she begins to reflect deeply about herself, her friends Vincent and Pino, as well as the ">society and its rules in which they all reside.

Hunter x Hunter

Hunter x Hunter is a Shonen anime masterpiece and its magic system is quite complex. It has got a very thorough and perfect story without any loopholes. It has got an eye for detail and will make you emotionally invested with the characters.
Gon Freecss is the protagonist of Hunter x Hunter as he embarks on a quest to become a Hunter. He joins a martial arts competition, befriends a little boy from an assassin family, and encounters monsters. By placing them up against far more seasoned, older villains, Togashi highlights their youth and inexperience and adds strong mentors who aid in their development.

Vinland Saga

Vinland Saga is based on the Makoto Yukimura manga series- Vinland Saga, which he wrote and illustrated. It is a captivating and beautiful Norse story with Scandinavian origins. It follows the tragic tale of an Icelandic boy named Thorfinn. He is the son of one of the finest Viking warriors, and once his father is murdered, he embarks on a journey of vengeance.

Cowboy Bebop

Cowboy Bebop defines what being 'cool' is. You will love this if noir and science fiction is your favourite genre. It contains excellent martial arts action scenes, an iconic soundtrack and real complex themes derived from the real world.

Cowboy Bebop is based on a space-centred mishap which has rendered Earth uninhabitable. After 50 years of increasing crime, the Inter Solar System Police legalised bounty hunting and hired licenced hunters, known as Cowboys, to find and apprehend criminals throughout the solar system. The crew of the spaceship Bebop is followed in the anime series as they pursue criminals in 2071.
