It’s a comedy series for all ages but will also make you burst into tears with its portrayal of abandonment and loneliness. The show only has 10 episodes and season two is yet to be announced.

As the walled citizens fight back, they’re also getting answers to the mysteries about the titans and their people.

Hunter X Hunter (2011)

At first glance, it seems like a typical action-adventure series about a boy searching for his father. But as the story progresses, it slowly shows its compelling characters, the complex world system, and dark theme. As of writing this article, the series is on hiatus with 148 episodes available.

Death Note

If you want a mystery series with an exciting battle of wits, then this is for you. The series is about an overachiever high school student who found a notebook that grants him the ability to kill anyone if he writes their name on it. This made him the biggest mystery that the greatest detective needs to solve.

Steins; Gate

This series takes its time to tell the story with its first few episodes isn’t widely received. It’s about a group of friends who were able to invent the machine where messages can be sent back in time.
