Anonymous Noise is a drama, romance anime television series that aired for 1 season, from April 11, 2017 to June 27, 2017.

It is based on the manga series by Ryoko Fukuyama.
The series features Nino Arisugawa, a talented high school singer, who keeps a promise she made years earlier, to find her voice. I am a huge music fan!
This anime has 2 amazing theme songs that you are going to love. The opening theme song is High School, and the ending theme song is Allegro. Both songs are sung by Saori Hayami, who does the lead voice of Nino.
A live-action version of Anonymous Noise released in Japan in 2017, so keep an eye out! Hopefully, it will arrive on Amazon soon!

2. Atom: The Beginning

It is based on the manga series by Tetsuro Kasahara.
The series features Dr. Hiroshi Ochanomizu, who wants to build a robot friend, and Dr. Umataro Tenma, who wants to build a robot God.
The two team up to build robot A106, not knowing if it is a friend or a God.

3. Blue Exorcist

Blue Exorcist is an action, supernatural anime television series that aired for 1 season, from April 17, 2011 to October 2, 2011.

It is based on the manga series by Kazue Kato.
The series showcases Rin Okumura, a teenager who discovers that his biological father is Satan. Rin’s goal is to become the ultimate exorcist and defeat his father.
I love the opening song theme for Blue Exorcist. It is called Core Pride by Uverworld. Give it a listen.

4. Darker Than Black

Darker Than Black is an action, drama, mystery, supernatural anime television series that aired for 2 seasons, from February 24, 2007 to November 24, 2007.

The series showcases Hei, an elite Contractor who has special powers that come with a price.
I really like this series and I think you will too, if you haven’t seen it already. I mean, it has it all- conspiracy, crime, neo-noir, superhumans and supernatural.

5. Elfen Lied

Elfen Lied is an action, horror, supernatural anime television series that aired for 1 season, from April 6, 2007 to June 29, 2007.

The series revolves around Kouta and Yuka, 2 university students who come across Lucy, who looks human but is actually a mutant serial killer.
Note: If you are at all squeamish, this may not be the best TV series for you. After all, Lucy is a serial killer! Need I say more?
(Wanna hear something cool about this series? So, the creators of the television show Stranger Things- Matt and Ross Duffer- have said that the character of Eleven (Stranger Things) was inspired by Elfen Lied. How cool is that?)

6. Girls’ Last Tour

Girls’ Last Tour is a drama, sci-fi anime television series that aired for 1 season, from October 6, 2017 to December 22, 2017.

The series revolves around two young girls- Chito and Yuuri- who are trying to survive after the apocalypse.
The girls explore the ruins of their city, searching for food, water, and other survivors.
Despite the harsh conditions in a world where everyone they love is gone, the girls are actually fairly upbeat and positive!

It is based on the light novel series of books by Kakeru Kobashiri.

Re: Creators is an action, fantasy anime television series that aired for 1 season, from April 8, 2017 to September 16, 2017.

The series features Sota Mizushino, a high school student who is literally dragged into a world of anime through his computer.
The world is made up of characters created by other people. So imagine if you wrote a story, then ended up in a world where you actually met them!
Of course, sometimes we wouldn’t want to meet the characters of our imagination!

I hope you enjoy my picks for the top ten best anime on Amazon Prime! Now that anime is gaining in popularity in the mainstream, it’s so much easier to find it on streaming services that I’m already paying for, instead of having to get a whole different subscription elsewhere.
