It's never been easier to start the best anime shows, even if you're new to the medium. Right now, there are a ton of shows available to watch across the best streaming services that offer intricate storylines, mind-blowing animation, compelling characters and world-building.
On top of that, anime isn't a genre, it's a medium, so there's a little bit of something for everyone. That said, it can be difficult knowing where to start if you're entirely new to the genre. It doesn't help that many of the most popular series are also very, very long, spanning hundreds of episodes and multiple seasons. One Piece alone is over 1,000 episodes — and still counting!
