Anime are usually the adaptation of the manga or light novels or any video game. It’s very unusual to see anime that are entirely original. Some of these original anime are so good that keeps the viewers excited as there is no source of getting any information regarding what comes next and the excitement get bigger till the end.

Yuri!!! on Ice
Although it is a sports anime but some of its appealing elements makes it unique and different from other sports anime which include mature protagonist, beautiful and animations with attractive visuals of ice skating during the moments of competition and the most importantly the gay relationship which is shown is a very sweet and smooth manner. In Japan the LGBT is either very much appreciated or disgusted by other so it was a big deal to show two male characters kissing in the Japanese anime. Yuri on Ice had a great impact on the anime world and highly recommended to anime fans.
Zombieland Saga
You may have seen a lot of anime with the idol themes but Zombieland Saga had a different approach with zombies being the singing band. The band consist of seven girls from various times of Japan in the past and team up for the sake of Saga district without letting anyone know about their true identity. The anime is not just entertaining (particularly the scenes of their lively manager) but also deals with some social issues like transgender, imposter syndrome and culture shock. Season 2 of the anime will be airing this year so it’s a must watch before the next season starts.
