Tokyo Ghoul
MAL Rated 8.11, Ranked #403 | Aired Summer 2014 | Produced by Studio Pierrot
Ghouls, half-ghouls, and humans, oh my! The term supernatural is
vague at most. It can refer to ghosts, vampires, monsters... anything
that cannot be explained with scientific reasoning or by laws of nature!
But one perfect fit for the theme would be Tokyo Ghoul. Its story is 99% supernatural, following the journey of the main protagonist, Ken Kaneki, as he faces "growing pains" like no other!
Another
MAL Rated 7.95, Ranked #582 | Aired Winter 2012 | Produced by P.A. Works
For fans of high school curses and mysterious students, Another
is a great choice. Even though it may appear to be like any other
"a-student-transfers-into-a-creepy-class" anime, the supernatural enigma
and atmosphere make it stand out among other series from the same
genre.
Angel Beats!
MAL Rated 8.47, Ranked #114 | Aired Spring 2010 | Produced by P.A. Works
What's more supernatural than the afterlife? Add in a confused ghost
with a personality cuter than Casper himself, a bunch of afterlife
warriors in cute schoolgirl outfits, an evil Tenshi (angel) and wah-lah!
One of the most popular supernatural anime ever is born... dead... you
get the point.
Mirai Nikki (The Future Diary)
MAL Rated 8.18, Ranked #321 | Aired Fall 2011 | Produced by Asread
Revolving around a submissive boy Yukiteru and a more than dominant girl Yuno,
this anime about a supernatural game set by God himself is a real
roller coaster. The combatants' most powerful weapons are their
cellphones that give them various powers. You will be gripped from start
to finish in what is a really unique survival story.
Ao no Exorcist (Blue Exorcist)
MAL Rated 7.98, Ranked #533 | Aired Spring 2011 | Produced by A-1 Pictures
Being the son of Satan would probably be very tough, but it can also
come with some perks, at least according to this anime. Packed with
suspense, action, fantasy and religious motives, Blue Exorcist is probably one of the most dynamic supernatural series out there.
Elfen Lied
MAL Rated 7.93, Ranked #612 | Aired Summer 2004 | Produced by Arms
Normal humans versus mutant humans. No this is not X-Men.
But Lucy, the protagonist of the series, does have a close resemblance
to a certain telepathic, misjudged, and unique (bald) superhero.
However, the world of discrimination that Lucy faces is much more
deadly. If you are a fan of characters with supernatural powers that
just want to "fit in", then this is a great anime to check out!
Noragami
MAL Rated 8.17, Ranked #332 | Aired Winter 2014 | Produced by Bones
Yato may be a minor deity of war without shrine, but he sure
knows how to fight! The anime not only has outstanding visuals but also
great fighting scenes. In a world in which gods, deities, demons and
shinki fight for power and recognition, what more could you possibly
wish for more?
Kokoro Connect
MAL Rated 8.05, Ranked #460 | Aired Summer 2012 | Produced by Silver Link
If you like your supernatural anime with a tad of romance and
spice-of-life drama, then prepare to get touched by this anime. The main
characters encounter body switching among each other, however, the
supernatural phenomenon does not only affect their bodies, but their
emotions as well.
Fate/Zero
MAL Rated 8.56, Ranked #75 | Aired Fall 2011 | Produced by ufotable
Known for its mature and dark content, Fate/Zero is a nice
gem among supernatural anime series. Filled with magic, fantasy and
supernatural elements, this story introduces some really original
characters who fight their own battles in The War of the Holy Grail.
Bakemonogatari (Ghostory)
MAL Rated 8.41, Ranked #143 | Aired Summer 2009 | Produced by Shaft
If you like vampires, cute girls and harem subplots, then this anime
is definitely for you. A bunch of high school students are deeply
affected by a "mysterious incident" and Mr. Nice Guy has come
to their rescue. The anime deals with some strong supernatural elements
that are told in a humorous and interesting way.
Natsume Yuujinchou (Natsume's Book of Friends)
MAL Rated 8.44, Ranked #129 | Aired Summer 2008 | Produced by Brains Base
Natsume has inherited a special book called the Book of Friends which enables him to control spirits and deities. He and his companion Madara
go from adventure to adventure. The relaxing and touching atmosphere
revolves around spirits and youkai, however, it is more about people
than some would think.
Death Note
MAL Rated 8.75, Ranked #32 | Aired Fall 2006 | Produced by Madhouse
Unless you lived under a rock your whole life, it's impossible not to
know about this classic. The intelligent and suspenseful cat-and-mouse
game between L and Yagami has become one of the most
popular anime stories in the world. What happens when a human decides to
take on a role of shinigami, a god of death, and how do you stop him?
Mushishi
MAL Rated 8.79, Ranked #27 | Aired Fall 2005 | Produced by Artland
The episodic nature of this anime is filled with constant mysteries,
adventures and touching stories of people who get in contact with mushishi
- supernatural beings. Paired with the breathtaking soundtrack and
visuals, this anime is one of the best supernatural series in the world
of anime, with various moments that force viewers to ponder the deepest
topics, such as the meaning of life itself.
