Here Are The 10 Best Anime If You Wanna Expand On Your Ghibli Nostalgia

After a rough couple of years, conventions are slowly starting to pick up steam again, with great international guests and eager fans ready to come out in support of their passion for all things nerdy. Australia has also been blessed, as Crunchyroll is set to hold its first-ever Crunchyroll Expo convention in Melbourne on September 17-18th. The event is set to include live cosplay competitions, special screenings, and international guests. Anime quickly became a mainstream global phenomenon throughout COVID due to its high-concept storytelling, intricate world-building, and colourful characters, which allowed many a great amount of escapism. As the genre has continued to gain mainstream acclaim, so has the accessibility for new fans as conventions such as Crunchyroll Expo continue to pop up all over the world. Conventions are great for allowing people to share in a community of creators and fellow fans alike by offering them the opportunity to connect to the subculture in celebration. Whether that’s by drawing incredible fan art, creating intricate cosplay costumes, or engaging in its prolific meme community, the anime subculture celebrates its community like no other. For those new to the genre, however, anime with too many episodes, subtitles only, or perhaps too eccentric to immediately get into can be huge turn-offs. To help you with finding immediate quality shows, here are a few classics and modern shows to get started with.
