Good anime always need their own streaming service? Not necessarily. Because Netflix also offers some good anime.
If you want to watch the newest and most popular anime, you often have to rely on special streaming services – such as Crunchyroll, Hidive, Prime Video or many others. But even among the more general streaming services, like Netflix, there are some anime gems.
Therefore, today we present to you 5 good anime that you can simply watch with your Netflix subscription.
Romantic Killer
Alternative names: /
Genres: Comedy, Romance
Episodes: 12 (Loose End)
Anzu only needs three things in her life: chocolate, video games, and her cat. She simply isn’t interested in romance. But when she starts a poorly developed dating game, she suddenly encounters a strange creature named Riri, who declares Anzu to be “Test Subject 1” – with the goal of making her experience a typical “harem story” in real life.
Riri steals her chocolate, cat, and video games – and declares that she will only get them back if she engages with one of the many men that Riri now guides her towards. Anzu tries to resist the almost cliché encounters with her dream men, stumbling from one amusing situation to the next.
What to expect from Romantic Killer? Romantic Killer is one of those hidden gems that many have not noticed. But those who engage with the first episode will be rewarded with a surprisingly funny yet emotional story, full of laughs. Watching Anzu try to avoid all the “love traps” while only ensuring that the gentlemen fall even more at her feet is incredibly funny – even though the series takes on much more serious tones towards the end.
Vampire in the Garden
Alternative names: /
Genres: Action, Fantasy, Drama
Episodes: 5 (Completed)
A long time ago, vampires emerged from the darkness and multiplied rapidly. Within a few years, humanity was pushed back and now hides in a few large cities from the new rulers of the planet, shielded by huge walls and floodlights.
The young Momo has grown up in this sealed-off world, largely devoid of culture (like music and film), and only knows such things from stories.
The vampires, on the other hand, indulge in singing, music, and dance – while continuing the war against humanity. The aspiring queen of the vampires, Fine, participates in one of the final battles. When she meets Momo, who in her despair starts singing an old song, Fine is so enchanted that she abducts Momo. This is the beginning of a wild chase, a budding love, and the search for a way for humans and vampires to live together.
What to expect from Vampire in the Garden? The total duration of Vampire in the Garden is only about 130 minutes, so one can consider the series more as a “long movie” that can be easily binged in one evening. Most of you will do that anyway, as the world split between vampires and humans both fighting for survival is excitingly constructed. The relationship between Momo and Fine may follow the somewhat clichéd concept of “two friends from warring cultures” – but the characters are absolutely lovable.
If you enjoy modern vampire stories, action, and a (rather painful) touch of heartache, you will love Vampire in the Garden.
