Life is never truly the same after a half-demon dog half chainsaw man helps you get closer to your own childhood trauma. But that’s anime, the exaggerated playground of human consequences. Decades of outstanding anime series have transported millions of people into unimaginable worlds with unforgettable characters foreign by nature but familiar in emotion. There are countless multiversal and otherworldly stories out there, and Hulu has a more than respectable collection to choose from.
The best animes are masters of making incisive deductions of the human experience in fantastical worlds too well-drawn to ever want to leave. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaibae may have demons with explosive blood and flaming swords, but it draws you in with a heartbreaking story of a family slaughter and a young man tasked with avenging those deaths and ridding his lone sibling, his sister, of the same demon spirit that killed the ones he loves. Shows like The Tatami Time Machine Blues and Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation bend time to layer their narratives by also expounding on the power of regret and grief. One-Punch Man practically smashes the fourth wall while you watch through it, satirizing the superhero culture that brought people to the show with a cartoonishly overpowered hero bored with his strength.
All of these anime series and more have been the quintessential viewing experiences for anyone looking to get into the genre. Now that Hulu has bolstered its anime line, here are the 25 best animes on Hulu.
