Humans dwell in caves beneath the earth's surface. When they learn of the beasts who have condemned them to this fate Kamina, Simon and Yoko begin a quest to free humanity.

What are the best animes to watch?

Pros

Pro
Slow burn, great arcs

A story that grows into a simultaneously introspective and inspirational master piece. Every thing about the story and characters starts simple and clear, over the 24 episodes without you even realizing it your mind will be blown at what will come next and you will feel more invested in the characters than you thought possible.

Pro
Short and sweet

This show gets to the point without feeling rushed. You won't find characters spending three episodes charging an attack for three episodes, unlike other more drawn out shows.

Pro
Not adapted from manga

Unlike most popular anime, this one is an original work, meaning it can avoid certain practices common with adaptations, such as filler and deviations from the expected plot.
