Ensemble Anime Recommendations I Love: Everyone Is the Protagonist of Their Own Story
Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese
As an INFP, I really love ensemble anime. That feeling of every character having their own story, everyone being vivid and compelling, and through them it feels like I can see different facets of myself.
**My top four favorite ensemble anime:**
**"Bungo Stray Dogs"**
A supernatural battle theme with characters based on Nihon literary figures. Each character has a unique personality and backstory; not just the main cast, but even the villains are well-developed. Osamu Dazai, Chuuya Nakahara, Ryuunosuke Akutagawa... everyone leaves a deep impression.
**"Durarara!!"**
Narita Ryohgo's peak ensemble storytelling. Multiple storylines intertwine, each character seemingly independent yet intricately connected. Shizuo's violence, Izaya's cunning, Mikado's struggles... everyone in Ikebukuro has their own secrets and stories.
**"Assassination Classroom"**
Seemingly comedic daily life, but in truth it's the growth story of every student in Class 3-E. Koro-sensei isn't just a teacher; he's the guide who helps each student find themselves. The ending really made me cry.
**"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba"**
Although Tanjiro is the protagonist, the Hashira and the Twelve Kizuki all have complete backstories. Every demon's past is heartbreaking, every Hashira's sacrifice is moving. The ensemble writing makes the whole world more fleshed out.
**Why do I like ensemble anime?**
The greatest charm of ensemble anime is that no one is a pure side character. Every character has their own moment to shine, and everyone is the protagonist in their own story. This feeling that "everyone deserves to be seen" really touches the heart.
Although these titles are a bit old now, it doesn't affect the viewing experience at all; I still get excited every time I rewatch them.
Ensemble is the greatest!!!
