My Anime Slice

  Let’s be real—sometimes the main characters just aren’t it. While we’re supposed to root for the protagonist, anime has a habit of sneaking in these so-called “side characters” who end up being way more interesting, cooler, or emotionally impactful** than the actual lead. So here’s a list of 20 anime side characters who didn’t just support the story — they hijacked it and became legends in their own right. 1. Gojo Satoru – Jujutsu Kaisen He’s not the main character, but Gojo walks in with that blindfold and blue eyes and suddenly nobody cares about Yuji. Overpowered, hilarious, and emotionally layered — Gojo is the show. 2. Killua Zoldyck – Hunter x Hunter Sorry Gon, but Killua’s dark past, assassin skills, and genuine character growth make him way more captivating. Plus, that loyalty? Unmatched. 3. L – Death Note Even with all the mind games between Light and L, let’s be honest — L made *Death Note* iconic. When he left, the show just wasn’t the same. 4. Kakashi Hatake – Naruto ...

 The 2010s were wild — not just in real life, but in anime too. This was the decade where the medium evolved massively. Studios took more risks. Stories got bolder. Art got sharper. And let’s be real — some of the anime that came out during this time didn’t just entertain us… they changed us So here’s my take on the 20 anime from the 2010s that left a serious mark on fans (including me), shaped the culture, and deserve a permanent spot on your watchlist. 1 Attack on Titan (2013) The show that turned everyone into anime fans — or at least shocked them enough to talk about it. Brutal, epic, and full of twists you *never* see coming. 2 Steins;Gate (2011) Time travel, heartbreak, and one of the best character arcs ever. Okabe Rintarou is unhinged in the best way, and the slow burn is 100% worth it. 3 Hunter x Hunter (2011 Reboot) This remake did what few reboots manage to do — it *perfected* the original. With arcs like Chimera Ant, it’s more than a shounen. It’s art. 4 Demon Slayer (2...

  Let’s be honest—once you finish *Neon Genesis Evangelion*, there’s a strange emptiness. That mix of existential dread, emotional chaos, and philosophical depth doesn’t just come around often in anime. It's not just the mechs or the angels that hook you, it's the raw humanity, the mental breakdowns, and the surreal symbolism that hits different. So if you're still stuck thinking about Shinji, Asuka, or those final two episodes (you know what I mean), here are **20 anime that carry the same kind of weight**—whether it's the psychological complexity, the emotional storytelling, or that feeling of “what did I just watch?” 1 Paranoia Agent A twisted look at how fear and trauma spread like a virus. Created by Satoshi Kon, it’s creepy, surreal, and leaves you questioning reality. 2 Ergo Proxy Dystopian world, artificial intelligence, and a whole lot of identity crisis. Think of it as Evangelion’s moody, cyberpunk cousin. 3 Sonny Boy A group of students lost in alternate dime...
