✨ The Legends – My Favorite Anime of All Time
Like many fans, I fell in love with anime through some of the greatest series ever created. These masterpieces shaped entire generations and continue to influence modern animation.
- One Piece 🏴☠️
The ultimate adventure anime and my personal favorite! With over 1,000 episodes, One Piece by Eiichiro Oda is more than just a story about pirates—it’s about friendship, dreams, freedom, and overcoming obstacles. It has become one of the highest-grossing franchises of all time, rivaling global giants like Star Wars and Marvel. The manga and anime are on another level, but to be able to really enjoy it start with the manga, and then anime. Another thing is that when you start with these series you should be prepared for a long story and rollercoaster of feeling together with everyone. - Naruto & Naruto Shippuden 🍥
From a mischievous outcast to the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village, Naruto’s story is one of resilience, bonds, and chasing dreams. Naruto is globally beloved and helped anime explode into mainstream Western culture. - Bleach ⚔️
Soul Reapers, Hollows, and incredible battles—the Bleach universe mixes supernatural themes with breathtaking action. Ichigo Kurosaki’s journey to protect both humans and spirits earned it a permanent spot among the “Big Three.” - Jujutsu Kaisen 🔮
Modern, stylish, and darkly exciting, Jujutsu Kaisen has become a global sensation. With amazing fight choreography and powerful characters like Gojo Satoru, it’s one of the top anime of the new generation. - Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) 🗡️
Famous for its stunning animation by Ufotable, Demon Slayer raised the bar for visual quality in anime. The movie Mugen Train became the highest-grossing anime film of all time, beating even Studio Ghibli classics.
