While no recent series can compare to Demon Slayer's level of success and influence in terms of impact on the industry, this doesnt mean that viewers cant find compelling animes to watch after finishing Ufotables adaptation.

Just like Demon Slayer's author has revealed that the story was inspired by iconic series like Bleach, Naruto, and JoJo, and fans can easily track their similarities, some animes share many elements with Koyoharu Gotouges story. Either because of the characters setting, worldbuilding, or having a katana-wielding protagonist fighting some monster creature, these animes are a must-watch for every fan of Demon Slayer.

One of the most popular demographics in anime and manga, shonen has been responsible for some of the mediums greatest hits for many decades. Originally regarded as a manga category that targets young males as its primary demographic and caters to their interests, shonen has long transformed into a broad and diverse genre enjoyed by all ages and genders. Most of the genres classics, from action-adventure epics like One Piece to sports dramas like Hajime no Ippo, are regarded as some of animes best, most inspiring tales.

Even when anime skyrocketed in popularity internationally, shonen remained the mediums leading genre, with many of its hits from the past few decades, such as Attack on Titan and Noragami, already earning the status of modern classics. Yet, the newest generation of shonen anime might be one of the most prolific and multifaceted in the genres history.

Fall season is finally here, and a new wave of anime is hitting the community, some more anticipated than others. While this year had many diverse series scheduled for release, it is in this season that many of the biggest and most hyped anime will be making their grand entrance.

September to November has featured the most popular series for many years, with last year boasting hits like Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Apothecary Diaries, Spy X Family and more. 2022 had even bigger series like Chainsaw Man, My Hero Academia, Mob Psycho 100, and Blue Lock. Fortunately, this year does not break this tradition, and it will close out the year with bangers.

In the world of anime, there is always at least one character that will stand out in a crowd because of their very peculiar hair color. As it happens, those characters also tend to have very memorable stories as well as unique personalities, which makes them so very fascinating. There are no limits when it comes to what hair color a character can have: blue, green, gray, bi-color. There are characters with hair colors pretty much everywhere on the light spectrum.

Colors are often given a certain connotation. Pink, for example, is very often associated with romance, joy and femininity. However, when it comes to anime, all those connotations go out the window. Anime fans can easily find themselves looking at a character with pretty pale pink hair who also happens to be a psychopath or stumble upon a character who's the personification of goodness.
