When it comes to anime, there are countless genres that offer deep emotional journeys. Crunchyroll has featured a few, like King of Thorn and Josee, the Tiger and the Fish. These shows are not only worth subscribing to Crunchyroll for, but they're also a great place to introduce anime to your friends.
King of Thorn
Many people have always been fascinated by the story of Medusa and the tragic story that led to her transformation. When the King of Thorn discovered that there was a 'Medusa' virus that turned people to stone, with a touch of horror, it immediately caught their attention. After waking up from hibernation, a group of survivors found their world had been invaded by strange vines and creatures.
Josee, the Tiger and the Fish
From the very beginning of Josee, the Tiger and the Fish, you can't help but love the chemistry between the two main characters. Tsuneo essentially saves Josee's life, and from then on, being apart is never easy for these two lovers. What makes it so relatable is that Josee goes through so much but never loses her quirky personality, from losing her grandmother to choosing a completely different career path.
Suzume
Suzume has been on many people's Netflix watchlists for a long time, but when they rewatched it on Crunchyroll, they finally decided to check it out. Many people heard through word of mouth that Makoto Shinkai's work is excellent, and very few of his films are released on Crunchyroll. So, Suzume was the first film they watched, and were immediately drawn in by its blend of fantasy and emotion. It gave them a similar sense of adventure and wonder as Spirited Away, although the similarities ended there.
Sword of the Stranger
People love Sword of the Stranger because its story is so clean and relatable, focusing on just a few characters, namely Nanashi (or 'No Name') and Kotaro. It explores concepts of identity, morality, and redemption. As a ronin, Nanashi wanders around, but eventually comes across Kotaro, who is being pursued by Chinese warriors. Nanashi reluctantly decides to help, including rescuing Kotaro's dog, Tobimaru.
Akira
Akira is set in Neo-Tokyo, a more futuristic version of Tokyo that is plagued by severe government corruption. The government is also responsible for experimenting on "spers," people with psychic abilities who are trying to harness the power of God. In fact, this is what led to Tokyo being destroyed and rebuilt as Neo-Tokyo. Now, another powerful esper has been discovered, and the power lies in the hands of Tetsuo, a member of a rogue biker gang.
