Anime immerses viewers in a fascinating universe with heroes that have supernatural powers and as powerful villains, too, guaranteeing lots of action and adventures, demons and different creatures and whatnot and unarguably a good storyline.
The main drawback to anime on Netflix is that some of the series don’t have all the seasons or episodes released on the platform, even though they’re available online otherwise or have been released at least. However, Netflix has a wide variety of anime in different genres. Here we recommend the top seven anime series on Netflix that everyone — newbies or seasoned viewers — should check out.

Castlevania
Genre: Action, Horror, Vampire
The story starts in the year 1455 with the tragic love story of Vlad Dracula Tepes, a vampire with advanced scientific knowledge. A bishop accuses Dracula’s wife of witchcraft, and as a punishment, she is burned on the stake.
After learning that his wife was murdered, he becomes furious and outraged and orders his army of night creatures to kill every person in Wallachia. Castlevania has a different story than the usual anime series. It is a combination of action, adventure, tragedies, and vampires — a personal favourite.
Castlevania currently has three seasons.
