The Spring 2021 anime season has given us the long-awaited adaptation of Asato Asato’s light novel series 86. This dystopian sci-fi war story interweaves sobering depictions of systemic racism and death on the battlefield with the decadent lifestyles of the Alba and lighthearted camaraderie among the Spearhead Squadron, giving viewers a nuanced look at what life in the midst of a pointless war is like. You can catch new episodes every Saturday on Crunchyroll, but if you can’t wait and you’re looking for recommendations of similar anime to watch in the meantime, here are six anime that remind us of 86!
The Winter 2021 anime season is boiling over with great characters, both old and new. Many of them have rightfully soared in popularity online, like the plucky spider Kumoko and the adult version of Eren Yeager, but others (especially those in supporting roles) have fallen by the wayside. We’re here today to shine a well-deserved spotlight on five of our favorite underrated characters of the season, so please join us in celebrating them!
There’s nothing like a good action-packed anime to get the heart pumping faster, especially when it has god-tier animation and an engaging storyline to go along with it. Today, we’d like to highlight ten of our favorites in the genre – they’ll be ranked by the intensity and creativity of their action scenes, as well as the quality of the narrative that gives those scenes context and meaning. We’ll be focusing mostly on newer anime, since the sheer amazingness of classics like Dragon Ball Z and Cowboy Bebop is already well documented. So, with all that said, let’s get started!
Winter 2021 is one of the most stacked anime seasons in recent memory, especially compared to the drought that made up much of 2020. You could toss a dart at the season chart and hit any number of hype sequels or worthy newcomers without even trying... well, unless you hit Ex-Arm or Redo of Healer, but we don’t talk about those. Crunchyroll is hosting the simulcasts for many of these fantastic new anime, so let’s take a look at the best ones to watch this season!
It’s been just about a year since the pandemic forced large events like anime conventions to shut down indefinitely, and by now we’re feeling that con-fever more than ever. So while we wait for the world to go back to normal, we have to wonder – when conventions do eventually come back, what will be the hot new cosplays to spot? Which 2020 anime and video game characters will stick in the popular consciousness long enough to have fans dress up as them? Here are our speculations and theories!
Animation technology has progressed in leaps and bounds since the old days of 100% cel animation, allowing newer anime to use computer-generated imagery for amazing effects like dynamic camera movement and complex machinery. But if the CG is poorly composited, lazily made, or simply too primitive, it’ll stick out like your average shounen protagonist in a crowd of background characters. These moments are a big letdown in the context of the show itself, but at least they’re funny to watch! Here are five of our favorite instances of hilariously bad CG in anime!
