5 must-see anime on Netflix this summer 2021

Japanese animation is now at a turning point, mainly in the West, because of the meteoric consumption on streaming platforms. One of them, Netflix, enjoys continued popularity and a catalog that is constantly enriched with new offers while offering timeless classics. Spotlight on its japanimation offer with a selection of 5 cult animes available on the platform.

Cowboy Bebop
Cowboy Bebop was a huge commercial success in Japan and around the world. Often considered the best Japanese animated series , the title is still today a safe bet and difficult to match.

In 2071, the crew of the Bebop spacecraft travel the solar system in search of bounties. In the slang of the time, these bounty hunters were called "cowboys".

Cowboy Bebop is a unique cultural combination in a universe of Space opera . The personality of the anime imprints on America of the 40s and 50s thanks to the breathtaking Jazz soundtrackfor example or thanks to the homage to Films Noirs; martial arts (Practice of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee ); to spaghetti westerns ; or even gun fights movies! Each episode brings a perfectly mastered story and allows for in- depth development of each character and theme . The rather atypical band of mercenaries, allows a better proximity and a greater distance as for the perception of their feelings or their confidence. Spike spiegel, with the aspect of hipster, is an emblematic and charismatic character who knew how to mark the spirits. The quality of the animation is such that it remains today a real reference in this universe.

Ultimately, the anime is a UFO building a bridge between East and West through its influences and offers us an explosive, mature show with artistic excellence. You should absolutely not miss this flagship work!

Neon Genesis Evangelion
Written and directed by Hideaki Anno , this monument of Japanese animation has not finished talking about it.

Fifteen years ago, humanity overcame a dramatic event referred to as the “Second Impact” but mysterious giant creatures, the Angels, appear fifteen years later and attempt to destroy Tokyo-3, the new capital-fortress of Japan. . Ikari Shinji, a teenager of 14, will have to board an "EVA" and fight these Angels in spite of himself.

The story of this anime was designed for the otakus of Japanese society in the late 90s. Frustration and the main characters are their representatives. The goal was to show the perverse side of this industry and the excess of the public but by a sad irony of fate, he exploded all the records in his path, a bit like the Angels came to destroy humanity. On the character side, Shinji is the anti-hero par excellence. A character anchored in his fiction who must manage to find reality. He is by definition weak, introverted and frustrated. The other characters are other facets of this perversion. Many themes are discussed such as the transition to adolescence or the father / son relationship. Biblical and military references are endless.

Neon Genesis Evangelion knew how to beahead of its time and boned the codes of Japanese animation. He knew how to tackle deep social problems. A classic not to be missed!

Samurai Champloo
The decor of the series focuses on the land of the rising sun and samurai who smell like sunflowers! Samurai Champloo is the second series directed by Shinichiro Watanabe .

The story takes place in a fictional version of the Edo era in Japan. A young girl named Fuu, searches for a samurai who smells of sunflowers and is accompanied by two individuals, Mugen, an extravagant wanderer, and Jin an impassive samurai.

A universe mixing hip-hop and medieval Japanese times , Samurai Champloo is an explosive cocktail. Watanabe takes an incisive look at the end of an era and the globalization of a country whose values waver and whose administration is blinded by corruption and order . He also speaks of these local lords, of the relationship of Japan to foreigners; of the man / woman bond which is drowning in mutual respect and destruction. The battle scenes and the action passages are virtuoso and original. The anime owes its richness in particular to its graphic universe, its dynamic editing and the immediate charisma of its three protagonists . The late Nujabes as  well asShing02 and Fat Jon are the centerpieces of the anime's soundtrack.

Finally, Samurai Champloo is a representation of what the Japan of the samurai could be like, a cruel period without falling into caricature. While keeping this jovial aspect through the fights, the music and the daredevil behavior of the protagonists!

Devilman Crybaby
Devilman Crybaby is a surprise. Based on the legendary Go Nagai manga, Devilman Crybaby is a Netflix original series. Taking up the basics of the manga, the director Maasaki will breathe new life into it and give a slightly ambiguous vision of the character of Go Nagaï.

The young Akira Fudo is informed by his friend Ryô, that the ancient race of demons has returned to take possession of humanity. At an assembly, he merges with Amon, the Lord of Demons. Akira transforms into Devilman, a human possessing the powers of a demon while retaining his own heart and soul.

This anime focuses on vices, deviations and impulsiveness . They want to show us here the purest and most "dirty" aspect of the human being. The very evidence of human nature. This unhealthy madness is fully justified by the themes of Devilman : by exacerbating man's faults, it offers him a pessimistic look. Man contributes to his own destruction . Akira is the symbol of sacrifice for Men in a Christic quest. The path to redemption does exist, however. A virtue emerges through its vices: empathy.

We can then ask ourselves if we act mainly out of impulsivity or out of reason. If a person capable of so much evil can hide a hint of love in his heart. Finally, we have a short anime ( 10 episodes ) addressing themes on the vices of the present and also those existing since the dawn of time . The anime has a soundtrack that echoes these themes and makes us go through very powerful emotions. An unmissable!

Carole & Tuesday
Carole & Tuesday is one of those animes where one does not necessarily expect a resounding success but which nevertheless offersan in-depth diversity and a refreshwithin the japanimation. In the realization, the famous Shinichiro Watanabe!

In the near future, on Mars, music and culture are produced by artificial intelligences. It is the story of a meeting between two young girls passionate about music, who want to become true accomplished musicians.

With a lot of humor, we follow their rise with the help of a fallen producer, Gus Goldman. The choice of two young teenage girls is quite interesting. Indeed, we can discern the naivety and maturity of these two characters. Obviously, one shows more sensitivity and seems more fragile while the other, on the contrary, seems to be more enterprising and sure of herself. The theme of this anime, obviously, is the music in its entirety. Whether it's the process from the creation to the release of an album or whether it's this journey through different musical styles (Rap, Pop, Funk, etc). But that's not the only topic covered in this story. We are offered a reflection on freedom of expression, immigration, deregulated capitalism as well as the adaptability that one must have during a musical career.

In short, the music is sparkling and varied in its entirety. There is something for every taste ! The storytelling is simple and effective with deep themes that can make us question our current lifestyle.
