New to anime? It might be like stepping into a big sweet shop—everything seems cool, but it’s tough to pick your first one. Don’t stress, I’ve been there too. After many late nights watching tons and having lots of talks about the “best anime ever,” I’ve picked seven that are easy for beginners. They are full of story, style, and lots of fun.

7. Kakegurui

We’re starting with something chaotic—in the best way. Kakegurui isn’t your typical school anime. It’s more like high school meets Vegas, with unhinged gambling duels and some of the wildest facial expressions you’ll ever see. It’s a little intense, a little seductive, and completely addictive if you’re into psychological thrillers with flair.

6. Soul Eater

This one’s stylish to the max. Soul Eater’s got the gothic, Halloween-esque feel that can be instantly recognized. It’s fresh even years after it was made, and the characters—weapon-meister pairs of kids battling evil—aren’t quite strange enough and quirky enough to get out of your head. It’s been asked for as a remake by fans forever, and trust me, it needs it.

5. Hunter x Hunter

This series is sneakily profound. What begins as a lighthearted romp with a boy named Gon rapidly becomes a complex tale of friendship, suffering, and self-improvement. Hunter x Hunter does the “coming of age” storyline perfectly and just keeps increasing in depth. It’s action-packed, emotional, and features some of the finest character growth out there.

4. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Chances are you’ve heard the theme song even if you’ve never watched an anime. Demon Slayer blew up for a reason: its fight scenes are stunning, and the story of Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko hits the emotional core hard. Also—there’s an inside joke about the main villain looking like Michael Jackson. You’ll see it.

3. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

This is the apex of anime. FMA: Brotherhood combines an inspired plot, devastating pacing, and gut-punching emotional scenes like none other. It poses big questions—on sacrifice, power, and being human—without ever losing its timing. If you are looking for a whole, fulfilling experience, this is it.

2. Attack on Titan

This series is utter mayhem—in the best possible way. You begin with folks battling giant monsters and wind up in the thick of politics, betrayal, and ethical issues that’ll confuse your brain. Attack on Titan doesn’t hesitate on its twists, and once you begin, it’s almost impossible to do so.

1. One Piece

The ultimate binge. One Piece isn’t just an anime—it’s an experience. With its rich world, its hilarious (and tear-jerking) characters, and its exploration of freedom, dreams, and loyalty, it draws you in and refuses to release you. Sure, it’s long, but that just means there’s more to adore. You’ll laugh, cry, and likely wish you could be a part of the Straw Hat crew yourself.

At the end of the day, anime is its universe—sprawling, emotional, and endlessly creative. These seven shows are just your ticket in. Whether you’re looking for fights, feelings, or just something new to fall in love with, there’s something here that’ll click. Trust me—you’re just getting started.
