Have you ever had a friend pause the anime you’re desperately trying to shove at them to ask, “Why did those two girls just turn into cars?” or “How does that orangutan have a stand?” or “How are they still alive?” No matter the question, the answer’s the same: “Because anime!” Everything in anime is a little larger than life. And in some anime absolutely everything is way larger than life and dialed to 11 at absolutely every second of its runtime. Here is a (certainly nonexhaustive list) of some great over-the-top anime you can watch right now. Brave Bang Bravern! Have you been in the mood for an old-school mecha anime that goes over-the-top in every conceivable way? Yes? Then do I have great news for you! Brave Bang Bravern! is a mecha anime that is an ode to all the big, bombastic, definitely over-the-top mecha anime that came before it.

The epic adventure is almost over for dark fantasy anime Ragna Crimson , which has been flying high and slaying dragons since October 1 last year. A 'final chapter' visual was unveiled today ahead of tomorrow's penultimate broadcast before the season concludes with Episode 24 next week. Finale Visual Related: Ragna Crimson Anime Releases Creditless Theme Song Videos for Cour 2 Based on the manga by Daiki Kobayashi, Ragna Crimson is directed by Ken Takahashi at studio Silver Link., with series composition by Deko Akao ( The Dungeon of Black Company ), character designs by Shinpei Aoki ( Wise Man's Grandchild creature designer) and music by Koji Fujimoto ( The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated! ). Square Enix publishes the manga's official English version and describes the story: In this action-packed dark fantasy, humanity lives under the threat of annihilation by immensely powerful dragons. The dragon hunter Ragna embarks on a revenge-fueled quest to eliminate that threat once and for all!

Warning: Spoilers for Chained Soldier episode 10, The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic episode 10, Ragna Crimson episode 22, Undead Unluck episode 22,

Emotional weight & effective buildup make Chained Soldier's battle stand out in Winter 2024 anime. Ragna Crimson's past battles had more impact than current fights, losing emotional power. Undead Unluck shifts focus from epic battles to unique time travel, but lacks character development in current battles.

Although the Winter 2024 anime season has featured many great battles, the best one by far is happening right now in Hidive's Chained Soldier. Though there are many factors that go into what makes a great anime battle, the emotional weight behind a fight and how effectively the series built up to it are the most important elements for determining which brawl deserves top spot.

Though Chained Soldier has a great deal of competition for the best anime fight of Winter 2024, it's only fair to compare...

Hidive's Ragna Crimson should receive just as much attention as Crunchyroll's Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. Ragna Crimson's sense of loss is more indirect and nuanced, which may be why it hasn't resonated with as many fans. Despite not losing anyone in the traditional sense, Ragna is haunted by the prospect and creates circumstances to emulate real loss, adding more nuance to his suffering.

The ongoing first season of Hidive's epic fantasy masterpiece Ragna Crimson has already proven itself to be worthy of whatever positive attention it receives, but the series has clearly not garnered enough of the praise it so rightfully deserves. Based on its overall structure and delivery, Ragna Crimson should at least be on the same level as Crunchyroll's brilliant Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

Although Hidive has produced such hits as Oshi no Ko, the vast majority of series streaming there too easily fall under the radar despite their flawless execution.

Hidive's January 2024 lineup offers a variety of new and older anime shows for fans to enjoy, including subbed episodes simulcast with Japanese airings and long-awaited English dubs. Hidive's back catalog includes ongoing shows from 2023 and recently ended series, such as The Dangers in My Heart and The Eminence in Shadow, providing options for fans to binge-watch completed series. The most exciting series in Hidive's winter lineup are the new shows they are featuring, including Gushing Over Magical Girls, Chained Soldier, and My Instant Death Ability is Overpowered, which offer a good variety for fans to watch.

A new year means that a variety of new anime are now or soon to be streaming on Hidive. This includes both subbed episodes of new shows simulcast with the Japanese airings and long-awaited English dubs of older shows. While Hidive may not be as well known as other streaming sites like Crunchyroll,...

Fans now know the release date for Ragna Crimson Episode 13 along with the remaining Season 1 schedule. 

Based on the serialized Square Enix manga of the same name, the Ragna Crimson anime has been a highlight in the medium's stellar end to 2023. 

The first 12 episodes of the series started airing back in October, running through the middle of December before taking a break for the holiday season. However, with a 24-episode order from Japanese TV network Tokyo Mx, it is only a matter of time before the series returns from hiatus.

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon is a weird and ridiculous isekai anime about a man who is reincarnated as a sentient vending machine. The franchise is not that big, with only three light novel volumes released and a short-lived web novel adaptation. The second season of the anime may have to go in a new direction since there is not much source material left, which could disappoint fans and affect the established tone of the story.

The isekai genre has some incredibly weird entries, with most of them taking the idea of bizarre, inane reincarnations to ridiculous extremes. One of these is Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon, which features a normal man being reincarnated as, well, a vending machine. It's no surprise that this ridiculous concept has finally earned the property an anime adaptation, though its longevity is highly questionable.

One of the highest-rated rom-com anime of summer 2023, Masamune-kun’s Revenge, has concluded its second season. Viewers of Masamune-kun’s Revenge are wondering if the series will get a third season now that the final episode has been broadcast. In this post, we will look at the most recent news about “Masamune-kun’s Revenge Season 3” and what fans can expect.

Based on the manga written by Hazuki Takeoka and illustrated by Tiv, the first season aired in 2017. After six years, fans heartily welcomed the second season, which aired from July 3, 2023, to September 18, 2023.

Masamune-kun’s Revenge introduces us to Masamune Makabe, a chubby boy who was once rejected by Aki Adagaki due to his physical condition. He has drastically altered his personality for one reason: vengeance. In contrast to his past, he has worked hard to improve his appearance in order to achieve this ambition. He then plans to take revenge on Aki Adagaki in...

The anime adaptation of I'm Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness challenges the traditional iyashikei genre with its over-the-top plot and emphasis on hedonistic pleasures. Iyashikei anime, known for its minimalist and relaxing vibe, focuses on everyday protagonists living serene lives in rural environments, offering a form of anime comfort food for fans seeking relaxation. I'm Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness deviates from the usual iyashikei storytelling with its comedic approach, exploring the themes of naughtiness and wholesome romance while providing a break from high-stakes fantasy and isekai narratives.

Anime and manga have many genres and subgenre, some of which are essentially exclusive to the mediums. One of these is iyashikei, which emphasizes low-stakes, comfy and cozy stories. While these works are usually minimalist and relaxing, one new fantasy anime is taking things in a completely different direction.

The highly anticipated Ragna Crimson anime has released its fourth trailer, encouraging fans to gear up for its premiere.

The thrilling 2-minute trailer showcased stunning visuals while providing a sneak peek of the first episode, "The Day the Grim Reaper Was Born." The clip also introduces the ending theme, "Rinkaku," performed by Kobayashi Watashi. The upcoming anime is set to debut later this month with a one-hour special episode. Animated by Silver Link, the series is slated for a total of 24 episodes, taking viewers on an extended journey.
