POPULARITY: #77
The term "VON" is nothing but an ordinary phrase expressing "what is left behind." The government was traumatized by a terrorist assault on Japan's nuclear plant. Nobody could comprehend how it all happened. The event left everyone clueless–an unusual video goes viral on the web until six months later.
Zankyou no Terror, a MAPPA studio masterpiece.

Harkuyuki Arita is a middle school student who is overweight, is always bullied, finds relief in playing online games. One day, his life took a tough turn when he finds out that student council vice president Kuroyukihime in an online game exceeded his high scores.
TFor those who enjoy video games, this anime is for them. You may already understand this, but the same man Kawahara Reki wrote both SOA and Accel World. But both are on distinct levels, however both anime based on the same genre, i.e. Gaming but still this anime is much better than SOA. The way the writer sketched the tale builds your curiosity and makes you wonder "What's going to happen next?" At first, you can scarcely get it through the first episode, but I suggest watching more than one episode before dropping any anime from your list. (Source: Accel World)

7. Katekyo Hitman Reborn
RANKED: #243
POPULARITY: #179
There's nothing so nice about Tsunayoshi Sawada. He's talentless, clumsy, and desperately in love with his classmate Kyouko Sasagawam, a girl that's out of reach. The boring life of Tsuna takes an unexpected turn when he meets the mysterious Reborn, who happens to be an underground hitman but amazingly a child.
No one enjoys this anime at first glance just because of its slow start. After watching 15 episodes, many just drop it. But the anime is still a masterpiece produced by studios in Artland. This is because at first people think they're just watching another comedy anime, but the real story starts after 20 episodes where they present the primary characters. After 20 episodes everything changes and it took a sharp turn in the story. The fighting scenes are full of insanity and the growth of characters is pleasant to watch. (Source: Katekyo Hitman Reborn)
