Fan-favorite anime to stream on Hulu right now
From shounen anime that inspires you to become an overpowered protagonist in your life to a mature anime that compels you to embrace the highs and lows of life, there is truly something for everyone to watch on Hulu. Nevertheless, if you want to start somewhere, we shared the five best anime to stream on Hulu right now!
DAN DA DAN
DAN DA DAN may be a brand-new anime that's been added to Hulu, but we're already calling it now: It's going to be the best anime of the season!
The anime follows the lives of two teenagers, Momo Ayase and Okarun, who both believe in the supernatural. Momo believes in ghosts but not in aliens, whereas Okarun believes in the existence of aliens and otherworldly beings but not in ghosts. On one fated day, however, they convince each other of one another's beliefs through extreme means. Now, whether they like it or not, they are bound together forever.
See all this and more in the official trailer for DAN DA DAN below!
Mob Psycho 100
Mob Psycho 100 teaches you that it's okay to be ordinary while simulataneously teaching you that you are special so long as you are in this world.
Mob is a young boy who has supernatural powers that can defeat almost any and every other person around him. But since losing control of his powers in the past, he wants to ensure that he lives a life without his powers being at the forefront of everything that he does and everything that he is. At the same time, though, Mob desires to use his powers to save lives. And thus, he's constantly at an internal war with himself because it seems he is at a crossroads no matter what he does.
Even so, Mob constantly pushes on to be the best version of himself that he can be.
Nana
On the surface, Nana seems like an anime where two strangers meet and mean a whole lot to one another for the rest of their lives. But, if you stay until the end, you will soon realize that a story of friendship barely scratches the surface of what this anime contains.
Nana is an anime that depicts the growing pains of being young and dumb. Some lessons are easier to learn than others. Say, how to do your taxes or how to pick up a new hobby. In the same breath, though, some lessons are exceedingly difficult to get down, such as breaking up with someone you love or dealing with the fact that you may be expecting a child. No matter what the lesson, Nana is there to teach you that life can throw anything at you and you should always be prepared.
Samurai Champloo
Samurai Champloo takes you on an adventure around feudal Japan, as two young and rowdy fighters join a young girl in search to find her father---a samurai rumored to smell of sunflowers. The journey is long, with days going incredibly great or incredibly wrong. Nevertheless, the three push on to achieve their goal and find this mysterious man.
The three learn a lot about not only themselves but about one another. This is exceedingly important because, initially, the three strangers don't get along, bickering at every turn. Even so, the journey forces them to realize that they are more alike than different.
Tokyo Revengers
Imagine if you had the ability to travel back and forth throughout time to change the likelihood of a horrible event unfolding before your very eyes. This is the heart of the story of Tokyo Revengers.
Takemichi was deeply in love with Hinata when he was younger. As time went on, he became very introverted and watched life pass him by. But when he gets news that his former crush was murdered by a gang and when he gets pushed onto a moving train only to wake up years in the future, his life goes from zero to hero, as only he can go back and prevent the unthinkable.
