50 animes para ver this summer

Taking advantage of August and following in the line of the list of the 65 best movies of the 80s (which was so successful, partly thanks to the Microsiervos effect), we have now prepared a selection of the 50 anime we liked the most of those we have seen, some I think have not been released in Spain and are only subtitled.

Attention, they are ordered by date, maybe it would have been more interesting to order them from worst to best, but they are different genres and it would be really difficult to make a very objective ranking of them without collapsing to criticisms by the commentators. I have put the chapters of many of the series, but many of them have separate OVAS and movies.

In the web of McAnime they have a ranking of the most popular anime in these dates (a very recommended page) and I also have to thank Hackito for his great help in making the list. Hope you like it and find something good for these hot days!

1971. Lupin iii (ルパン三世)

(anime series). It deals with the adventures of the famous thief Lupin. More information | downloads

1983. Champions (oliver and benji) (キャプテン翼)

1986. Dragon ball (ドラゴンボール)

(153 episodes series, the z and double z series together total 291 episodes and the gt series, which for my taste lowered the bar a lot, is 65 episodes). Undoubtedly this series will be known by almost everyone, it is a series of adventures and a lot of fighting. More information | downloads

Very, very good, but it lacks some chapters and the ending they have put in the anime is the worst I've seen, in fact, the ending has nothing to do with the manga. If we remove the last chapter, the series is more than recommendable. More information | downloads

Suzumiya haruhi no yuutsu](/blog/50-animes-to-watch-this-summer/images/suzumiya_haruhi_no_yuutsu_fqy8yq.jpg)(series of 14 episodes). Series that parodies many series, pretty good, with a pretty crazy protagonist. More information | downloads
