Anime That Came Out In 2005
2005. Remember flip phones, emo bangs, and questionable fashion choices? Well, it was also a fantastic year for anime! Let's take a stroll down memory lane and revisit some of the animated gems that graced our screens.
Air
First up, we have Air, a visually stunning and emotionally resonant series. Get ready to cry, like, a *lot*. This isn't your typical happy-go-lucky adventure; it's a story about destiny, love, and overcoming ancient curses.
The protagonist, Kunisaki Yukito, is on a journey to find the "girl in the sky." He runs into Misuzu Kamio, who is a lonely girl, and his journey becomes intertwined with her. Bring tissues!
Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy
Speaking of romance, let's talk about Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy. This sequel series continues the adventures of Keiichi Morisato and his goddess girlfriend, Belldandy. Expect more heartwarming moments and silly situations.
What's not to love about a kind-hearted college student living with a beautiful goddess? It's like a sitcom but with more divine intervention. Prepare for some charming romantic comedy with a dash of fantasy.
Eureka Seven
Ready for something a bit more action-packed? Eureka Seven blends mecha action with a coming-of-age story and a dash of romance. Renton Thurston joins the Gekkostate, a group of anti-government rebels piloting giant robots. He finds his own way and his love with Eureka.
It's not just about fighting robots; it's also about finding your place in the world and fighting for what you believe in. Plus, the animation is gorgeous, and the soundtrack is killer.
Mushishi
For a more mellow and atmospheric experience, there's Mushishi. This series follows Ginko, a Mushishi (Mushi Master) who travels the land helping people affected by Mushi, supernatural beings that exist between the spiritual and physical realms. Prepare for some slow-paced storytelling and breathtaking visuals.
Each episode feels like a calming meditation, exploring themes of nature, balance, and the interconnectedness of all things. It's the perfect anime to watch when you need to unwind.
Shuffle!
Looking for a harem anime with a twist? Shuffle! introduces us to Tsuchimi Rin, a high school student who is childhood friends with both the daughter of the King of the Gods and the daughter of the King of Demons. He must choose which one to date.
Yes, it's as ridiculous as it sounds, but that's part of the charm. Get ready for plenty of fan service and over-the-top antics.
Noein: To Your Other Self
Noein: To Your Other Self is a mind-bending science fiction anime that explores the concept of parallel universes. Haruka, a young girl, gets caught up in a war between different dimensions. A mysterious man from the future, who calls himself Noein, claims to be Haruka.
If you're a fan of time travel paradoxes and complex narratives, this one's for you. It's a bit of a head-scratcher, but it's worth it for the thought-provoking story and unique visual style.
So, there you have it – a quick peek into the world of anime that came out in 2005. From heartwarming romances to action-packed adventures and philosophical journeys, there's something for everyone to enjoy. If you are looking for something new (or old) to watch, why not give one of these a try?
