Monster
If you are a surgeon in a highly respected medical institution and you find yourself in a situation where you are forced to pick between operating and saving a dying orphan child and the mayor of the city, who you do save? Dr Tenma picks the former over the latter which feels like an honorable choice. It even costs him everything he worked so hard towards all his life. What happens though if the orphan turns out to be a serial killer? Monster is a dark and dreary take on the value of life and the choices we make.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
The anime world is full of mecha-based story lines but no series comes close to capturing what Neon Genesis Evangelion did when it first hit the screen. It is mecha-action of the highest order with the stakes being as great as they can be.
Hellsing
This is probably the most stylized anime on this list and can be jaw-dropping in its portrayal of violence and gore. Hellsing is a vampire who kills vampires. Why and how he does this makes for an exciting watch.
Ghost In The Shell
With a complex plotline and a cyberpunk feel to its execution, Ghost In The Shell took the world by storm when it first came out in 1995. Several anime series and films later, the series holds up just as well and has inspired countless films because of its intriguing premise which ranked high in the best animes of the year.
Steins Gate
An evil organization called SERN is threatening the future of the planet with its propaganda and the only means to stop it in its track lies in the use of a technology that allows you to deliver messages into the past. Steins Gate is an exceptional sci-fi tale that uses the concept of time travel to derive devastating results.
