The Best Anime of Every Genre

Looking for good anime to watch? Here are the best anime shows of all time, ranked by fans everywhere. Top anime series include popular shows&nbsp;like Death Note, Attack on Titan, and many&nbsp;more. Plus, with so much&nbsp;<a href="/list/new-anime-debuting-in-2018/elise-yeakley" target="_blank">new anime debuting</a> each year, the list of best anime will only grow. The blanket term &quot;anime&quot; in the US can refer to any animation originating in Japan, and specifically differentiates a few aspects of Japanese animation from more Western styles. For example, the <a href="/list/funniest-anime-shows/ranker-anime">top comedy&nbsp;animes</a> can be be much more explicit in their humor.&nbsp;This includes the Japanese propensity to feature adult themes, cool action scenes,&nbsp;and stories in animation, as opposed to Western &quot;cartoons&quot; aimed primarily at children, as well as the exaggerated, fantasy-oriented and colorful style of Japanese animated visuals.

Anime TV series first found popularity <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/anime-set-outside-japan/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">outside of Japan</a> in the 1980s and have continued to find larger&nbsp;audiences in the West. A number of famous anime shows&nbsp;originating in Japan - such as Cowboy Bebop or Dragon Ball Z - have found enthusiastic audiences for dubbed versions in <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/countries-where-english-is-the-official-language/best-world-journeys?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">English speaking countries</a>. The anime style has grown so popular in the US, it has stared to significantly influence the style and aesthetics of American animation. Shows such as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Afro Samurai, and Samurai Jack have borrowed heavily from anime in terms of pacing, subject matter, and design.

Ranking the greatest anime ever is certainly a difficult task, but it&#39;s time to settle this once and for all: which of the most popular anime shows crack the top 100., the top 10, or even the top 10 anime of all time?

TV: What's On Now?

Some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-shows-currently-on-the-air?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best shows</a> on TV right now are criminally underrated and not watched by nearly enough people. Sure, you&#39;ve heard of How to Get Away with Murder, Empire,&nbsp;Game of Thrones, and all those other great, popular shows. But have you heard of Wentworth? Better Things? Didn&#39;t think so. Here to solve this very pressing problem&nbsp;is this list of unknown or underrated TV shows you should be watching right now, if anything just to shake things up a bit. Be sure to also watch the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-shows-ended-in-2020/molly-gander" target="_blank">best shows ending in 2020</a> before it&#39;s too late!&nbsp;

Some of the shows on this list are fairly standard genre shows like crime thrillers and supernatural tween romcoms, but each of the television series listed here are uniquely memorable and entertaining. Why aren&#39;t people watching? The shows may have a bad time slot or maybe people feel these are <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/current-tv-shows-where-nothing-happens/ranker-tv" target="_blank">shows where nothing happens</a>. However, many of these shows are actually critically acclaimed and beloved by a small group of loyal viewers. It&#39;s truly amazing and baffling that these shows have managed to fly under the radar, but once you read about these underrated series you should be watching, maybe they&#39;ll gain at least one new fan.

Looking for some <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-new-tv-shows-2015/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">new TV show</a> suggestions for this coming Saturday night? Maybe check out that Gillian Anderson thriller that everyone&#39;s been talking about over in Britain. (Hint: It&#39;s not The&nbsp;X-Files.) There are so many under the radar TV shows out there that deserve more viewers and more buzz. If you&#39;re looking for a good Netflix and chill show, why not try some of these underrated gems?&nbsp;

Fun fact: Game of Thrones isn&#39;t the only good TV show based on a book streaming on the airwaves! Though more and more people are complaining about sequels and reboots and re-imaginings at the movies, it&#39;s the <a href="/list/best-years-for-tv-shows/loganrapp?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">golden age of television</a>, with <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-and-movies-you-didn-t-know-were-based-on-books/brent-sprecher" target="_blank">awesome shows inspired by books everywhere you look</a>. The small screen has the benefit of being much more long form, and therefore a great place to showcase something based on a book or series of books. With television adaptations of books you have the ability to learn love and live with characters for the long haul, just as with a novel or series of novels.&nbsp;

Naturally as TV has been around for quite some time, there have been great book adaptations throughout the years. There have also been plenty of books adapted for TV in the form of the miniseries or TV movie, but that&#39;s another list and you won&#39;t find them here (otherwise Band of Brothers would most certainly have made the cut). Instead we are just focusing on traditional TV programs that are based on or inspired by books from genre like <a href="/list/best-fantasy-shows-based-on-books/ranker-tv" target="_blank">fantasy</a> and <a href="/list/best-sci-fi-shows-based-on-books/ranker-tv" target="_blank">sci-fi</a> to mysteries, historical classics and more.

Be it current and recent shows like Nancy Drew or The Magicians, critically acclaimed shows that have ended such as Boardwalk Empire and Orange Is the New Black, a show that started out amazing while it was based on it&#39;s book series... then derailed (Dexter), or a classic TV show you might not have realized was based on a book at all (M*A*S*H*), this list has them all. What it doesn&#39;t have are <a href="/list/best-comic-book-superhero-shows/ranker-tv" target="_blank">comic book adaptations and superhero TV shows</a>. This list is all about novels, book series and short stories. Even teen and <a href="/list/young-adult-fiction-series/ranker-books?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">YA book series</a> - like the two times the Melinda Metz Roswell High book series has been adapted - count, as do <a href="/list/tv-shows-adapted-from-both-movies-books/ranker-tv" target="_blank">shows that are based on books and movies,</a> or that continue telling a book&#39;s story past the movie adaptation.

These are the best shows based on books to ever air on television! Vote up the best of these shows below - whether because they nailed the adaptation or because they were top-notch, quality programming in their own right. Maybe the best overall shows rise to the top.

Teen TV

Shounen&nbsp;(or &quot;shōnen&quot;)&nbsp;is one of the most popular&nbsp;genres of anime. It is&nbsp;geared toward&nbsp;teenage boys and usually features a male protagonist who embarks on an adventure filled with challenges. The truth is, the world could always use more shounen anime because it is filled with several positive themes,&nbsp;such as believing in yourself and hard work paying off. The genre often crosses over with <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-fantasy-anime-v1/ranker-anime" target="_blank">fantasy</a> and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-action-anime/ranker-anime" target="_blank">action anime</a>, and does not often focus too heavily on romance.&nbsp;

Below, you&rsquo;ll find tons of great examples of this popular anime genre.&nbsp;Vote up the top&nbsp;shonen <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-anime-series-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">anime to watch</a>, and add other good shounen anime missing from the list.&nbsp;

Smart Entertainment

Since about the early 2000s, TV audiences have been blessed with what many experts call The Golden Age of Television. In other words, TV has never been so darn good or so darn smart. This list features smart TV shows that are currently running new episodes, even if we&rsquo;re just anxiously awaiting for a fresh season.&nbsp;Here are the best shows with the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/current-tv-shows-with-the-best-writing/ranker-tv" target="_blank">best writing</a>, characters, and storylines that smart people watch.

There are several reasons why TV has never been better. First, there are more channels that cater to different tastes. Not only are cable networks like AMC and FX churning out Emmy Award-winning dramas, but streaming channels like Amazon and Netflix, are also producing high-caliber programming that are not constricted to the tight guidelines typically associated with network television.

It&rsquo;s not just about cursing and showing a little nudity, it&rsquo;s about telling complicated stories that don&rsquo;t just wind up neat and tidy at the end of a half hour episode. It&rsquo;s safe to say that television is not just for the masses anymore to simply idle away wasted evenings, a smart TV show is a welcomed form of entertainment in even the most highbrow of houses.

You will see the total gamut of programming on this list. There are even animated comedies. It&rsquo;s true that a middling 8-year-old can watch The Simpsons or Family Guy and be extremely entertained. But, for the shows to truly be appreciated, an intellectual mind is needed to pick up on all of the nearly laugh-a-second nuances and understand the less obvious references.

Additionally, programs like True Detective, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ranking-the-best-seasons-of-sherlock/ranker-tv" target="_blank">Sherlock</a>, and Fargo, offer a lot of hidden meaning. The better read the viewer is, the more the material will come to life. It&rsquo;s not to say that a regular Joe Schmo can&rsquo;t enjoy a show like The Americans, of course they can. However, these types of shows aren&#39;t dumbed down. They require a person to actually pay attention, to be active spectators aware of narrative shifts, and to be able to put the pieces of a complicated puzzle together without a lot of hand-holding.

Which intelligent TV shows are your favorite?&nbsp;Be sure to vote up the TV series you think are the smartest shows on television.
