Is this cheating? Maybe. Can I really call this a show when it’s six minutes long? Well it’s an anime, semantics aren’t important here. I’m starting off this list with Shelter just as a nudge, to take a few minutes out of your day and enjoy this visually stunning music video-esque short. As you can imagine, the story isn’t all that complex. But it ...
We’ve seen countless shows about androids becoming self-aware and destroying humanity. But what happens when they don’t go down the aggressive route? In Time of Eve we see androids used as mere tools, even though they are self-aware, and are thus like second-class citizens. The only refuge for the androids is a café called Time of Eve, where humans...
This show is a very odd mix of action and philosophical discourse. The story is set on a dying Earth where androids and humans cling to life any way they can. The protagonist is an immortal android who gets hit with the amnesia stick, and has to relearn what it means to live, to die, to love, and to suffer. The catch is that some believe devouring ...
I really didn’t think I would enjoy this show as much as I did. At first glance, the art style might seem like a major flaw. But oh boy does it grow on you. The story itself is your typical post-apocalyptic world where aliens run around and generally make people have a bad time. So a special unit is created to deal with these monstrosities. That’s ...
Some shows can have the most complex elements in their world, and still produce a very straight forward/easily digestible story… and then there is Ergo Proxy. The most constipating story you never knew you needed. All I can say is that it’s set in a post-apocalyptic world where a handful of humans live on with help of their androids. But then the a...
If Ergo Proxy sounded like a fun time, then odds are you’ll enjoy Serial Experiments Lain just as much. Maybe even more. It’s less about androids, but it definitelyhas its roots set in technology and mystery. The protagonist, Lain, gets an e-mail from a classmate that had recently committed suicide. This leads her into a wormhole of conspiracies an...
If we’re talking about immersion, Studio Ghibli stands far above the rest. Castle in the Sky is no exception, as within the first few minutes of the movie we see an entire industrial revolutiontake place. Man discovers ways to build flying cities, who knew? We then jump back to the present as our MC is being hunted by the government for her mysteri...
It’s very common for sci-fi shows to present you with a lot of futuristic, mind-blowing tech stuff. From flying cars to giant robot suits, and everything in between. So we can forget that we also have some pretty crazy tech nowadays! GATE reminds us of this fact when the fantasy world (where monsters exist but not iPhones) ultimately clashes with t...
I don’t frequently praise CGI, but I have to hand it to Gantz: 0. The animation is slick. And it never broke my immersion with polygon pixel paloozas. The movie has a very isekai feeling to it. But instead of the usual RPG fantasy world, our protagonists are locked, loaded and ready to kill some aliens. The action is decent, as it manages to rarely...
This is the classic tale of alien abduction and body modification. But instead of getting the Cartman canal operation, our MC ends up a full-fledged cyborg. To be honest, Ichirougets the Walter White setup. I’m sure you’ll agree after watching the show. But instead of going down the path of selfishness, he decides to help peoplewith his new power. ...

- Stein's; Gate. Score 9.17, MAL Ranking 3 | Aired Spring 2011 | Produced by White Fox. Of all the anime out there that features time-travel merely as a plot-device, Stein's;Gate excels in actually delving into the concept itself.
- Cowboy Bebop. Score 8.83, MAL Ranking 22 | Aired Spring 1998 | Produced by Produced by Sunrise. With a universe that features a futuristic culture that has achieved interplanetary travel and other planets have been colonized (and Earth is basically considered a backwater has-been), Shinichiro Watanabe’s magnum opus lends itself to some darn good space-exploration and sci-fi adventure.
- One Punch Man. Score 8.87, MAL Ranking 17 | Aired Fall 2015 | Produced by Madhouse. One Punch Man is an action adventure sci-fi epic about a man who can kill anyone with a single punch—and yet somehow is classified as a low-ranking superhero.
