While original anime are great, adaptations often get more attention for their pre-established fanbases. Manga adaptations can either enhance the source material or fail spectacularly. The best adaptations, like Dragon Ball Z, retain the essence of the original while adding flair. My Hero Academia successfully combines superheroes and action, and Chainsaw Man takes shonen in a bold new direction. Berserk remains a classic dark fantasy anime due to its incredible animation and gripping story. Spy X Family's Cold War spy aesthetic and intriguing characters have made it a modern classic, while Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War revolutionizes romance anime.

Attack on Titan's world-building and animation have made it a standout series, while Jujutsu Kaisen redefines action anime. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure brings the classic manga to life in a vibrant and creative way. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a faithful and visually stunning adaptation, and Devilman Crybaby is a modern interpretation of a classic. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba's animation and story have earned it worldwide acclaim, and Mob Psycho 100 pushes the boundaries of animation with its unique style and character growth.
