Speaking of a unique mythology, bleach is also a perfect example of this. At first, the specifics of the story may seem complex, but the anime teaches that we shouldn’t underestimate our audience. The focus is to give the necessary details for the moment and, little by little, show how the story is bigger than everyone believed.
Where to watch: Star+

The best word to define Hunter X Hunter it’s progression. From the first episode, when we meet Gon and his dream, we are urged to find out what his path will be to get there.
Throughout the episodes, with the secondary stories of Killua, Kurapika and Hisoka, for example, everything gains even more depth. Hunter x Hunter is considered the ideal anime for anyone who wants to watch a quality work and Michael B. Jordan’s recommendation couldn’t be better.
Where to watch: Crunchyroll or Netflix
