[03:57] if the name isn't anime-like then that's
[03:59] because this show actually springs from
[04:01] a chinese background
[04:03] hey bai wu shang tells the story of two
[04:06] young demons who work at an organization
[04:09] that balances the worlds of the living

[04:20] action and battle scenes
[04:22] it is one of those underrated anime that

[05:04] following a linear sequence of events
[05:07] you've got plot threads starting in
[05:09] different directions
[05:10] and eventually weaving together to

[05:29] murders lead to several other characters
[05:31] and events
[05:32] including the activities of an ambitious
[05:34] scientist zillard
[05:36] and the war between mafia gangs you may
[05:40] think the complex plot would play for
[05:41] the anime's disadvantage
[05:43] but in truth it is what makes the anime
[05:46] more suspenseful
[05:47] and unique among the list of other
[05:49] action and supernatural shows
[05:54] number 10 mirai nikki
[06:00] [Music]
[06:04] at first the ability to see the future
[06:06] may seem like a good thing
[06:08] but when pulled into a death game you

[06:46] along the way as well
[06:49] number nine seraph of the end
[06:57] if you thought housing was the only show
[06:59] i had under the vampire category

[07:04] end is helsing with more vampires
[07:06] happening in a dystopian future
[07:09] i know you've heard it before but it
[07:11] happens when a human made virus kills

[07:39] delivers some superb action
[07:41] and has mysteries of the world running
[07:43] in its background
[07:46] number eight fate series
[07:56] i don't want to point my finger at just
[07:58] one anime so that is a reason why i

[08:06] name
[08:07] and deals with the fifth holy grail war

[08:46] and what's bad about that
[08:49] number 7 charlotte

[13:59] if you know japanese you know monogatari
[14:02] is a japanese translation of the word
[14:04] story
[14:05] and monogatari is indeed a story that is
[14:08] only narrated through words
[14:10] with little to no action and that
[14:12] doesn't mean it's bad
[14:14] because if it was it wouldn't get the
[14:16] second spot on our list
[14:18] the anime revolves around koyomi araragi
[14:21] who gets involved with the various girls

[14:33] problems
[14:34] and araragi tries his best to solve
[14:36] their problems with the help of a man
[14:38] named meimei oshino
[14:40] as i mentioned before monogatari uses
[14:43] heavy wordplay
[14:44] and satire to take the story forward it
[14:47] does have some nice visuals by studio
[14:49] shaft
[14:50] but even if you go for the visuals
[14:52] you'll stay for the story
[14:55] number one mob psycho 100.
[15:07] and topping off our list we have the
[15:08] short little brother of one punch man
[15:11] mob psycho it follows shigeo kagiyama
[15:15] an ordinary high school boy who is
[15:17] monotonous and
[15:18] lacks a sense of presence but in truth
[15:22] he is a powerful esper that can make
[15:24] saitama's jaw drop
[15:26] shigeo views his power as a burden
[15:28] rather than an asset
[15:30] and always lives under emotional
[15:31] pressure about controlling his power
[15:34] mob psycho may not have a huge mystery
[15:37] looming around its seasons
[15:38] but it is a heart feeling supernatural
[15:40] action drama
[15:42] that can make you laugh from its comedy
[15:44] and smash your fists with its action
[15:47] among all the action supernatural shows
[15:50] this show definitely deserves the number
