- Stein's; Gate. Score 9.17, MAL Ranking 3 | Aired Spring 2011 | Produced by White Fox. Of all the anime out there that features time-travel merely as a plot-device, Stein's;Gate excels in actually delving into the concept itself.
- Cowboy Bebop. Score 8.83, MAL Ranking 22 | Aired Spring 1998 | Produced by Produced by Sunrise. With a universe that features a futuristic culture that has achieved interplanetary travel and other planets have been colonized (and Earth is basically considered a backwater has-been), Shinichiro Watanabe’s magnum opus lends itself to some darn good space-exploration and sci-fi adventure.
- One Punch Man. Score 8.87, MAL Ranking 17 | Aired Fall 2015 | Produced by Madhouse. One Punch Man is an action adventure sci-fi epic about a man who can kill anyone with a single punch—and yet somehow is classified as a low-ranking superhero.

- Jyu-Oh-Sei.
- Parasyte.
- Steins Gate.
