2. 'Neon Genesis: Evangelion'
According to Paste Magazine, "Neon Genesis: Evangelion" is a well-loved classic that started the deconstruction of the mecha craze brought upon by the "Gundam" franchise.

Many fans would say that "Neon Genesis: Evangelion" is the best of the franchise, which is understandable since the succeeding shows were only made for the sake of continuing the story.
1. 'Hunter x Hunter'
Speaking of action and adventure, nothing could ever beat the classic example of "Hunter x Hunter." This anime series experienced a bunch of do-overs over the years, but its story remains to be just as captivating and intense. It would be such a huge waste having Netflix but not choosing to watch this great show.
The premise of the story is simple, starting with a young boy named Gon Freecs setting out on an adventure to become a hunter. However, what appears simple would turn into something delightfully complex as the young character learned both the light and darkness of every corner of the world.
