Ten series of Crunchyroll’s catalog share the same fame: that of not losing bellows in any section. The payroll goes from Your Lie in April to Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood And alternate originals with manga, webtoon and novel adaptations. The ranking is signed by Aaheli Pradhan and was published on November 12, 2026 in CBR.
The starting point is the size of the catalog. Crunchyroll is presented as the largest anime streaming platform, with thousands of series spread among very different genres, and that allows you to put together a selection as heterogeneous as this without leaving the same house.
From A-1 Pictures to Science Saru: Who Animates Every Bet
Your Lie in April Open the list with A-1 Pictures behind. The series follows Kousei Arima, a prodigy pianist, and violinist Kaori Miyazono, and her emotional weight is the reason why she is remembered so long later.
Sonny Boy It is an original series animated by Madhouse: a group of teenagers appears in another world with newly acquired powers and without an instruction manual. Instead of conventional adventure, the series leans towards symbolism.
The historical drama comes with The Heike Story, animated by Science Saru and set in the civil war between the Taira and Minamoto clans. Her visual bet is what separates her from other samurai stories.
From sport to political thriller: the genres of the list
Kurokos Basketball It represents the sports anime with Production I.G on the front. It adapts the Tadatoshi Fujimaki manga, exceeds 50 episodes and remains one of the references of the genre.
The relay takes it Mob Psycho 100, animated by Studio Bones. Its protagonist is Shigeo «Mob» Kageyama, a high school student with psychic powers, and Arataka Reigen serves as his mentor. The series aired between 2016 and 2022 and is organized in three seasons.
complete the selection Odd Taxi, , ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept., , Fruits Basket, , Paranoia agent and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Among all, they cover mystery, politics, fantasy, psychological thriller and action, with which the list works as a sample of the width of the catalog rather than a closed canon.
A criterion that is not measured in audience
The selection is not supported by spectator figures or notes: what it evaluates is the consistency, the feeling that no season breaks the level of the previous one. It is a subjective judgment, and it should be read like this.
There is also no unanimity between lists of this type. Other anime selections available on Crunchyroll published in recent months match only part of the payroll, so the missing name in one appears in the next one.
For those who are going to start a marathon, the list leaves ten very different entrance doors. The availability of each title may vary depending on the market, so it is advisable to review the local catalog before chaining episodes.
