Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005)

Where to watch: Netflix

There is much debate on whether this U.S. Nickelodeon series counts as “anime” but what is definite is that this series has aged exceptionally well. Mark Hamill, who voiced Fire Lord Ozai, once said that the show was too smart for its time—and with its recent resurgence of popularity thanks its availability on Netflix and its undyingly relevant themes, we can’t help but agree. Set in a fictional world where four nations once lived in harmony (until the Fire Nation attacked), it follows a ragtag group of kids as they try to restore peace with the help of “bending,” a way to control the four elements based on different martial arts.

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)

This was arguably one of the popular Tagalized anime series that made your old afternoons extra magical.

Recca is a Hokage descendant, a clan of ninjas that was wiped out in the 16th century, and is gifted with the ability to control and manipulate flames.

Slam Dunk (1993)

Initially very unpopular with girls, he joins the basketball team to impress his crush, Haruko Akagi and eventually develops a deep love for the sport. Sakuragi then aims for the national championship together with his team of lovable misfits.

Did anybody else want a closetful of clothes—and cool gadgets—like the ones Tomoyo Daidouji gave her best friend Sakura Kinomoto? We’re pretty sure this had one of the best “power-up” scenes ever. Follow the Card Captor as she goes on an adventure defeating and collecting a set of magical Clow Cards she accidentally released. She is guided by the cards’ guardian, Cerberus, as well as her friend Tomoyo. Plus, who can forget Syaoran Li, her rival turned friend, and her older brother Toya Kinomoto and his best friend, Yukito Tsukishiro.
