All anime is not created equal. Despite what netflix and other distributors might think, there is more than one kind of anime. It comes in different genres like any other artform. Such a universe of anime can be difficult to navigate, but it is my hope to shed a little light on the subject. Please see the categories below for my recommendations in each category.

Action
Comedy
Fantasy
Science Fiction

Finally, I've begun making notes on cultural references found in anime. The purpose of this is to explain some of the common themes in anime.
