Name That Character
100
This all-female manga group really went all out on magical girl greatness. With elegant outfits, enchanted cards, and a talking plushie that’s sassier than your group chat, they brought us a pink-powered heroine with a wand and a heart of gold in Cardcaptor Sakura.
CLAMP
100
Don’t let the rosy cheeks and iconic catchphrase fool you—this electric rodent can shock and aww with the best of them. Loyal to his trainer and capable of lighting up both battles and hearts, this little yellow zappy boy is the face of a billion-dollar empire.
Pikachu 
100
In this genre, the main character hits “Game Over” IRL—only to respawn in a fantasy world with magic, monsters, and conveniently overpowered skills. Sometimes a truck’s involved.
Isekai
100
This spiky-haired teen’s got 99 problems but a ghoul ain’t one—unless you count the ones he exorcises on the daily. With cursed energy, a mouthy roommate in his body, and some seriously intense eyes from his mentor Gojo, he's battling spirits and midterms in equal measure. What a curse-y life!
Jujutsu Kaisen 
100
She fights evil by moonlight and wins love by daylight—this magical girl’s got style, sass, and a crescent-shaped mission.
Sailor Moon 
200
He drew a punchy path to fame—literally. Taking a webcomic about a bald superhero who ends battles in a single hit and turning it into high-speed, high-drama action, this artist manga-fied the mundane in One Punch Man and made average look extraordinary.
Yusuke Murata
200
This demon child may look like a lost lamb, but get in her way and she’ll bamboozle you—literally. Armed with a bamboo muzzle and killer kicks, she’s silent but deadly, all while riding piggyback and serving up sibling loyalty like it’s her full-time job.
Nezuko 
200
Not quite rom-com, not quite steamy drama—this genre prides itself on awkward teen crushes, heartfelt confessions, and maybe a cherry blossom or two. It’s more about feelings than fireworks, and it might take 12 episodes to hold hands.
Shoujo
200
Talk about sibling rivalry—this fiery alchemist and his full-metal brother are on a quest-ionable journey to get their original bodies back after a failed attempt at alchemy left one of them tin-canned.
Fullmetal Alchemist 
200
This stretchy and spunky hat-wearing pirate has a one-track mind for treasure—and meat. No ifs, ands, or rubber butts.
Monkey D. Luffy 
300
Get ready to spiral into madness—this horror mangaka doesn’t just draw creepy, he draws curl-up-in-a-corner creepy. With swirling curses, grotesque transformations, and stories that make your skin crawl like a centipede parade, he’s the Ito-cal horror master behind Uzumaki.
Junji Ito
300
This deceptively dapper white bear splits his style—and your morals—right down the middle. With one eye on chaos and another on cuddles (maybe), he runs a twisted school game that’s part Hunger Games, part snuggle struggle. Smile for the despair cam!
Monokuma
300
This genre focuses on giant robots, angsty pilots, and mind-bending metaphors about war, trauma, or teenagers with too much responsibility. If the cockpit looks like a therapy session with lasers, you’re probably here.
Mecha
300
This high-flying show really titan-ed up the charts, following humanity squished inside walls, trying not to get turned into a snack. With colossal stakes and twistier turns than a pretzel factory, it's got betrayal, battle, and just enough brooding to fill a basement.
Attack on Titan 
300
From hats to heartthrobs, she went from shy hatmaker to castle-hopping heroine in a magical makeover of epic proportions. Who is this brave beauty who found her fire?
Sophie Hatter 
400
Before Bridgerton ever said bonjour, this mangaka was dishing out drama, duels, and dresses in 18th-century France. With political intrigue, sword fights, and tragic queens, The Rose of Versailles bloomed into a classic.
Riyoko Ikeda
400
Don’t let the bunny ears and blank stare fool you—this purring little alien wants to wish you the worst. Making contracts with magical girls is his thing, but the fine print? A little soul-crushing. Literally. The only thing scarier than this fluffball’s smile is his total lack of emotions.
Kyubey 
400
Sparkles, transformation sequences, and more twirling than a competitive baton team—this genre puts the glam in slam evil. With friendship as their greatest weapon and stylish accessories that somehow defeat cosmic horrors, these heroines are anything but basic.
Magical Girl
400
This wholesome espionage series proves that a fake family can lead to real feelings. With a spy dad, an assassin mom, and a telepathic daughter who loves peanuts and chaos, this show brings the drama, the comedy, and the found family feels.
Spy x Family 
400
Believe it! This spiky blond ninja’s got more energy than a ramen-fueled squirrel. Who is the Hidden Leaf’s noisiest ninja?
Naruto
500
This manga maverick went full throttle with his tale of psychic teens and post-apocalyptic motorcycles. His groundbreaking work Akira didn’t just blow minds—it exploded them, launching anime into the global spotlight like a psychic nuke with a great hairdo.
Katsuhiro Otomo
500
Don’t let the “awww” fool you—this pint-sized pupper has a chainsaw where his face should be and a bark that’s more buzz than bite. Loyal to a fault and ready to rev things up at a moment’s notice, this little devil steals the show (and maybe a few hearts) in a blood-splattered world.
Pochita
500
This genre is basically a soft pillow for your soul. No battles, no drama—just vibes. Think sipping tea, cloud-gazing, or running a bakery in the woods with your talking cat. It’s life, but with the volume turned way down and the comfort cranked way up. You’ll laugh, maybe cry, but mostly… chill.
Slice of Life
500
This stylish space-western follows a bounty hunter crew with tragic pasts, jazzy soundtracks, and one heck of a corgi. It’s got shootouts, sword fights, and existential dread in zero gravity.
Cowboy Bebop 
500
With a power level that’s always over-the-top, this fighter’s got hair that changes color more than a fashion blogger in a thunderstorm. He’s powered by pure heart, anime hair, and an appetite that could rival a black hole.
Goku
