Japanska animacija, poznata kao “ Anime ” na Zapadu^(West) , dosegla je vrhunac popularnosti kakav nismo mogli zamisliti prije samo nekoliko godina. 

S rijetkim sinkroniziranim i jako montiranim emisijama koje se emitiraju na američkim ekranima, obožavatelji su pribjegli zamjeni lažnih VHS kaseta i kasnije digitalnih video kopija s titlovima s interneta. Sada svaka veća usluga za streaming ima zdravu biblioteku animea koje svatko može gledati pritiskom na gumb. 

Netflix se posebno ističe zbog ulaganja u originalne anime produkcije. To su emisije koje su ili platile za proizvodnju ili su kupile ekskluzivna prava za emitiranje. Iako postoji vrlo malo stvarnih gluposti iz biblioteke Netflix Original animea, ovih pet emisija predstavljaju neke od njihovih najboljih djela, po našem mišljenju.

1. Devilman Crybaby

“ Devilman Crybaby” je nova adaptacija Go Nagai hit Devilman mange. To je vrlo stilizirana i ultranasilna verzija originalnog djela. Dakle, to svakako nije predstava za one slabog srca.

Ovaj anime priča priču o Akiri Fudou^{(Akira Fudo)} , koji stječe moći moćnog demona po imenu Amon . Zajedno sa svojim prijateljem Ryom^(Ryo) , bore se protiv demona koji se kriju među čovječanstvom. Devilman Crybaby je uznemirujući, mračan, nasilan i nihilistički. Prethodna anime adaptacija Devilmana također^(Devilman) nije bila baš za obitelj, ali ova verzija je definitivno najgrafičnija verzija priče.

Ako vam odgovara mračna i nasilna zabava, onda “Devilman Crybaby” zaslužuje titulu remek-djela. Lijepo je izrađen, glasovna gluma je vrhunska, a njegova tragična priča je ona koja će ostati kod gledatelja dugo nakon što se završe naslovi. 

2. Bok Score Girl^{(Hi Score Girl)}

Anime i manga dobro su poznati po pričanju nevjerojatno zanimljivih priča. Bilo da je riječ o tenisu ili, u ovom slučaju, o vrlo specifičnoj eri u povijesti videoigara. Smještena^(Set) u 90-e, “ Hi Score girl” priča romantičnu priču o Haruu Yaguchiju^{(Haruo Yaguchi)} i Akiri Ono^{(Akira Ono)} .

Jedna je prosječna neuspješna, druga profinjena kći moćne obitelji. Ono što im je zajedničko je potpuna opsesija video igricama. Posebno natjecateljski borbeni naslovi arkadnog tipa kao što je Street Fighter II .

Iako CG prezentacija emisije možda nije za svakoga, to je šarmantna priča i zadržava naglasak izvorne mange na točnom prikazu videoigara u određenom razdoblju. Ako volite slatke romantične priče, 90-e ili klasične videoigre, onda je “Hi Score Girl” apsolutno vrijedna gledanja.

3. Violet Evergarden

Ako tražite lijepu, smirenu i proganjajuću predstavu, “Violet Evergarden” bi mogao odgovarati. Temeljena na nagrađivanoj seriji laganih romana koju je napisala Kana Akatsuki , sada je i nagrađivana anime serija.

In the world of “Violet Evergarden” we meet the titular character just as she returns from war. A wounded ex-soldier with prosthetic hands, Violet looks for employment as an “Auto Memory Doll”. These are essentially professional typists and ghostwriters. People come to them and ask for letters, either dictating them or having these skilled wordsmiths choose the words for them.

Violet comes across as rather emotionally stunted, more like a cold robot than a human being. The last words her superior said to her still haunt her as she can’t understand their significance. In the story, we accompany her on a journey of understanding her own humanity and coming to grips with being a weapon of war in a post-war world.

Osim glavne serije od 13 epizoda, postoje i dva specijala na Netflixu^(Netflix) u vrijeme pisanja. Što^(Which) pomaže razjasniti priču i okolnosti koje okružuju ovu zagonetnu ženu.

4. Sedam smrtnih grijeha^{(The Seven Deadly Sins)}

"Sedam smrtnih grijeha" na prvi pogled izgleda kao tipičan shonen anime. Shonen anime i manga općenito su namijenjene mladim dječacima i uključuju svojstva kao što su Naruto , Bleach , My Hero Academia i Dragon Ball^{(Dragon Ball Z)} Z. Iako^(Though) , naravno, ljudi svih spolova i dobi uživaju u njima.

Međutim, ako mu date priliku, pronaći ćete priču koja je više nego što se na prvi pogled čini. Jedinstvena i fantastična mješavina arturijanske mitologije i vestern fantazije viđena kroz leću senzibiliteta japanske animacije.

"Sedam smrtnih grijeha", kako ih prvi put susrećemo, skupina su supermoćnih kriminalaca optuženih za ozbiljan zločin. Lovi ga svatko tko želi priliku za slavu. Kako priča napreduje, shvaćamo da stvari možda nisu onakve kakve se čine na prvi pogled.

"Sedam smrtnih grijeha" nudi prekrasan krajolik i dizajn likova, s uzbudljivim bitkama i fascinantnim znanjem. Za ljubitelje bilo koje od navedenih emisija obavezno pogledati.

5. Zvijezde^(Beastars)

“Beastars” je neobična emisija koja unosi raznolikost ovom popisu Netflix Original animea i potpuno zaslužuje biti na njemu. U ovoj čudnoj priči o društvu koje se sastoji od antropomorfnih životinja, glavna napetost dolazi iz razlike između mesoždera i biljojeda. Što^(Which) je primjer kada je u pitanju glavni lik meke naravi, sivi vuk Lagoshi . 

Zaljubljuje se u malu djevojčicu zeca po imenu Haru , ali se mora suočiti sa svojom grabežljivom prirodom. Istodobno, u igri su veća politička pitanja, a da ne spominjemo ljubavni trokut u kojem je uključen još jedan glavni lik.

Životinjska lica likova možda su više simbolična od bilo čega drugog, ali nema sumnje da su “Beastars” divlja vožnja iz bilo koje perspektive. 

Počasno priznanje: Castlevania

Posljednji naslov na našem popisu nije anime, ali saslušajte nas na trenutak. Castlevania je američka produkcija, ali se temelji na omiljenoj japanskoj franšizi video igrica. Sama animacija podsjeća na anime filmove kao što je “Lovac na vampire D”, a priča sigurno ne bi bila naodmet ni u vašem tipičnom anime filmu.

Što će reći, da niste znali da se radi o američkom programu, bilo bi vam oprošteno što ste pomislili da gledate sinkronizaciju japanske emisije.

Što se same priče tiče, ona se odvija u mračnom i gotičkom svijetu gdje moćna nadnaravna stvorenja teroriziraju ljude. Događaj koji započinje priču uključuje svemoćnog vampira Drakulu^(Dracula) , njegovu ljudsku ženu i nesporazum koji ga dovodi do osvete ljudima. Sada Drakulu^(Dracula) moraju suočiti naši junaci Trevor Belmont , Sypha Belnades i Alucard . Drakulin^(Dracula) vlastiti poluljudski sin.

Ovo je vjerojatno jedna od najboljih animiranih serija ikada napravljenih u smislu kvalitete produkcije i uvjerljivih priča. Ako ste posebno ljubitelj animea i preskočili ste ovaj jer je američkog^(American) podrijetla, učinite si uslugu i dajte mu priliku.

Anime Ga Suki Desu Ka?

Ovo bi moglo biti zlatno doba animea, s lakim širokim pristupom i puno međunarodnog novca koji pritječe u industriju. Mi koji smo već desetljećima dugogodišnji obožavatelji oduvijek smo željeli da ovaj medij bude lako dostupan svima. 

Taj dan je konačno došao s Netflix Original animeom. Ako želite kušati neke od najboljih modernih animea, ovaj popis je fantastično mjesto za početak.

5 Best Netflix Original Anime You Can Stream Right Now

Japanese animation, commonly known as “Anime” in the West, has reached heights of popularity we couldn’t have imagined just a few years ago. 

With scant few dubbed and heavily-edited shows airing on US screens, fans resorted to swapping bootleg VHS tapes and later digital video fan-subtitled copies from the internet. Now every major streaming service has a healthy library of anime anyone can watch at the press of a button. 

Netflix is a particular standout because of its investment in original anime productions. These are shows they either paid to produce or bought the exclusive rights to broadcast. While there are very few actual duds from the library of Netflix Original anime, these five shows represent some of their best work, in our opinion.

1. Devilman Crybaby

“Devilman Crybaby” is a new adaptation of Go Nagai’s hit Devilman manga. It’s a highly-stylized and ultra-violent take on the original work. So it certainly isn’t a show for the faint of heart.

This anime tells the story of Akira Fudo, who attains the powers of a powerful demon named Amon. Along with his friend Ryo, they battle demons who hide among humanity. Devilman Crybaby is disturbing, dark, violent and nihilistic. The previous anime adaptation of Devilman wasn’t exactly family-friendly either, but this version is definitively the most graphic version of the story.

If you’re okay with dark and violent entertainment, then “Devilman Crybaby” deserves the title of masterpiece. It’s beautifully crafted, the voice acting is top notch, and its tragic story is one that will stay with viewers long after the end-credits have finished rolling. 

2. Hi Score Girl

Anime and manga are well known for telling incredibly niche stories. Whether it’s about tennis or, in this case, a very specific era in the history of video games. Set in the 90s, “Hi Score girl” tells a romantic story of Haruo Yaguchi and Akira Ono.

One is an average underachiever, the other the refined daughter of a powerful family. What they do have in common is an utter obsession with video games. Especially competitive arcade fighting titles such as Street Fighter II.

While the show’s CG presentation might not be for everyone, it’s a charming story and retains the original manga’s emphasis on period-accurate representation of video games. If you like cute romantic tales, the 90s or classic video games, then “Hi Score Girl” is absolutely worth a watch.

3. Violet Evergarden

If you’re looking for a beautiful, sedate and haunting show, “Violet Evergarden” might just fit the bill. Based on an award-winning light novel series written by Kana Akatsuki, it’s now an award-winning anime series as well.

In the world of “Violet Evergarden” we meet the titular character just as she returns from war. A wounded ex-soldier with prosthetic hands, Violet looks for employment as an “Auto Memory Doll”. These are essentially professional typists and ghostwriters. People come to them and ask for letters, either dictating them or having these skilled wordsmiths choose the words for them.

Violet comes across as rather emotionally stunted, more like a cold robot than a human being. The last words her superior said to her still haunt her as she can’t understand their significance. In the story, we accompany her on a journey of understanding her own humanity and coming to grips with being a weapon of war in a post-war world.

Apart from the main 13-episode series, there are also two specials on Netflix at the time of writing. Which helps flesh out the story and circumstances surrounding this enigmatic woman.

4. The Seven Deadly Sins

“The Seven Deadly Sins” looks like a typical shonen anime at first glance. Shonen anime and manga are generally aimed at young boys and include properties such as Naruto, Bleach, My Hero Academia and Dragon Ball Z. Though, of course, people of all genders and ages enjoy them.

If you give it a chance however, you’ll find a story that’s more than meets the eye. A unique and fantastical mishmash of Arthurian mythology and western fantasy seen through the lens of Japanese animation sensibilities.

“The Seven Deadly Sins”, as we first meet them, are a group of super-powered criminals accused of a serious crime. Hunted by anyone who wants a chance at glory. As the story progresses, we realise things may not be as they seem at first glance.

“The Seven Deadly Sins” offers gorgeous scenery and character designs, with exciting battles and fascinating lore. A must watch for fans of any of the aforementioned shows.

5. Beastars

“Beastars” is a quirky show that both adds variety to this list of Netflix Original anime, and completely deserves to be on it. In this strange story of a society that consists of anthropomorphic animals, the main tension comes from the difference between carnivores and herbivores. Which is exemplified when it comes to the soft-natured main character, the grey wolf Lagoshi. 

He falls in love with a small rabbit girl named Haru, but has to deal with his own predatory nature. At the same time, there are larger political issues at play, not to mention a love triangle involving another main character.

The animal faces of the characters may be more symbolic than anything else, but there’s no doubt that “Beastars” is a wild ride from any perspective. 

Honorary Mention: Castlevania

The last title on our list is not anime, but hear us out for a minute. Castlevania is an American production, but it’s based on a beloved Japanese video game franchise. The animation itself is reminiscent of anime films such as “Vampire Hunter D”, and the storyline would certainly not be out of place in your typical anime feature either.

Which is to say, if you didn’t know it was an American program, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were watching a dub of a Japanese show.

As for the story itself, it takes place in a dark and gothic world where powerful supernatural creatures terrorize humans. The event that kicks off the story involves the all-powerful vampire Dracula, his human wife and a misunderstanding that leads to him seeking revenge against humans. Now Dracula must be faced down by our heroes Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades and Alucard. Dracula’s own half-human son.

This is possibly one of the best animated series ever made in terms of production quality and compelling storylines. If you’re a fan of anime specifically and have given this one a skip because it’s American in origin, do yourself a favor and give it a chance.

Anime Ga Suki Desu Ka?

This might very well be the golden age of anime, with easy widespread access and plenty of international money flowing into the industry. Those of us who have been long-time fans for decades have always wished for this medium to be easily accessible to everyone. 

That day has finally come with Netflix Original anime. If you want to taste some of the best modern anime out there, this list is a fantastic place to start.
