Mawaru Penguindrumis a surreal adventure that centers around the Takakura family. It stars twin brothers Kanba and Shouma who live alone with their sick little sister Himari. She collapses one day and is saved by a magical penguin spirit, but in exchange, the brothers are tasked with finding a cryptic Penguin Drum. The show maintains an aura of mys...
This show doesn't have too much of a story. Instead, it sets up characters and lets their interactions play off each other for comedic effect. D-Frag!'s infamous delinquent Kenji Kazama is pushed into joining the game development club where he meets a cast of strange female characters. Though at first, he is desperate to leave the school club, Kenj...
This original video animation builds on the existing Mazinger Z universe. Specifically, Mazinkaiser features the return of Dr. Hell and his mechanical beasts. In this iteration, Dr. Hell defeats the heroes and steals one of the protagonist's mechas, converting it into a weapon to be used against them. The anime doesn't weigh itself down with overly...
A mecha anime from the 90s, Getter Robo Armageddon is an action-packed show that favors big fights over story development. It stars Nagare Ryoma, a mech pilot who teams up with other pilots Jin Hayato and Tomoe Mushashi to combat the villain Dr. Saotome and his creation the Shin Dragon. They must also fight off body-snatching invaders who possess h...
Few shows do a better job of skewering the anti-social protagonist than My Teen Romantic Comedy Snafu. Protagonist Hachiman Hikigaya is a bitter and cynical character with a jaded and pessimistic view of the world and social relationships.

Kuragehime centers around a cast of socially awkward women. Main character Tsukimi Kurashita lives with five other unemployed women and dreams of one day becoming an illustrator. Her whole life, however, is turned upside down when a beautiful woman -- who turns out to be a man -- bumps into her at a pet store. This show takes on standard shoujo tro...
This is another show that relies heavily on its characters and their interactions rather than an overarching plot. Durarara!! is set in the urban Tokyo district of Ikebukuro, where the main character Mikado Ryuugamine visits after being invited by a childhood friend. In the district, a black rider roams and supernatural events abound, pulling the c...
Spice And Wolf is likely one of the only shows that deep dives into the nuances of merchant trading during medieval times. Though one of its main characters is a magical wolf, the show largely stays away from fantasy, instead choosing to focus on economics and its slow-boiling romance.

This long-running series is one of Brain Base's most enduring anime, spanning a total of six seasons.

Eventually, he comes into possession of the titular Book of Friends, which contains the names of the spirits bound by his grandmo...
Finally, we're at the crown jewel of Studio Brain's Base's catalog, Baccano! This fantasy adventure romp spans several decades and involves alchemists, immortality elixirs and gangsters, to name just a couple of the elements that give this show its character. The plot is presented through multiple individual storylines that are shown nonsequentiall...
- Natsume's Book Of Friends (8.70) This show appears in the top ranks of MyAnimeList again and again so this entry was placed based on its highest-ranking season.
- Baccano! (8.44) is one of Brain's Base's biggest hits. This action-packed romp is absolute pandemonium from the start as it ties together lots of moving pieces and plotlines that all build towards a larger end.
- Spice And Wolf (8.40) This show appears twice in MyAnimeList's top Brain's Base rankings, so it has been placed by its highest-scoring season. Spice And Wolf is quite unlike many other anime out there.
- Durarara!! (8.24) This show is a great example of a supernatural action mystery done right. It stars newcomer to the city, Mikado Ryuugamine, who moves to Tokyo on an invitation from a childhood friend.
Aug 26, 2022 · Brain’s Base is an anime studio that more often than not seems to fly under the radar. Founded in 1996 by Ozawa Juukou, formerly of TMS Entertainment, the studio is neither as historically significant as the likes of Toei Animation nor as new and flashy as the likes of MAPPA.
