Anime is best described as Japanese animation. I started watching anime at a very young age my first, being Sailor Moon. Once I got to high school, I was introduced to InuYasha and Vampire Knight among others. Within this genre, one can find many different types such as romance and horror. To all of those new to the genre, there will be a suggestion list in the days to come. I can even do a list of my own personal favorites! For now, here is a brief list of upcoming anime scheduled through Crunchyroll, an anime streaming service, for 2018. Warning: possible spoilers ahead, so make sure you binge on returning titles before you read this article. Hope you’re excited, anime veterans!
