Tatami Galaxy is the one anime that has zero haters.
With a good story and an excellent plot progression, Tatami Galaxy can easily raise the bar high without any fast-paced fight scenes.
The story is slow, and just like the name, the whole show is a moving galaxy of stars and space.
Demon slayer

When everyone thought Shonen was dead, Demon Slayer came out, and oh boy, the animation is so good that even non-anime fans can enjoy the fight scenes.
The story revolves around the protagonist Tanjiro Kamado and his half-demon sister- Nezuko. We are not here to give a spoiler, so, watch the show BAKA!
Violet ever garden
Saying Violet’s ever garden is beautiful would not be fair; Violet’s ever garden is the only anime I fell in love with.
The story, the colors, the animation, and everything about this show can be summarised in one word – Gorgeous.
It’s a slow burn for sure but definitely worth your time. Go watch this show before every anime streaming website gets banned
Kiki’s delivery service
Studio Ghibli never disappoints.
With Kiki’s delivery service, the animation industry got its first boost on International animation platforms.
The animation was so soothing and pleasing that people of all ages appreciated this masterpiece by Hayao Miyazaki.
If you are having a bad day or want a change of phase in your life, then Kiki’s delivery service is your one-stop destination.
Psycho pass
Those who bought The Dominator off Wish and Aliexpress truly are men/women of the culture.
Psycho-Pass was so good, and the animation was much better aesthetically than the famous high-budget anime shows.
The story revolves around Akane Tsunemori as she joins the force that battles criminals in the cyberpunk setting of Toyko.
Ergo proxy
If Batman has an anime adaption, then Ergo Proxy would be the perfect setting.
Fans argue that Ergo Proxy didn’t receive the hype it was supposed to receive, and only a handful of people know about this psychological animation masterpiece.
Paranoia agent
If you like gloomy and dark series, then Paranoia is exclusively made for you.
The aesthetics are so mixed with the show’s overall atmosphere that you will eventually become a part of it.
The colors, the shadows, and the camera movement are similar to the style of Ergo proxy, but the craziness is on some other level.
Give your brain some dopamine with this extraordinary series by Satoshi Kun.
Perfect Blue
The dangers of the film industry are exceptionally described in this 1997 psychological anime.
Everyone will agree that the aesthetics and animation style in all of Satoshi Kun’s movies is top-notch and easily recognizable.
The perfect blue has a dreamy animation style, often stimulating depression and anxiety through each frame.
Do you remember black swan by Darren Aronofsky, most of the scenes and frames are the exact copy of Satoshi Kun’s perfect blue?
Now go watch the original masterpiece.
Death note

Often newcomers start their anime journey with a Death Note, often called the ‘book of death.’
And they are not wrong; the show was able to attract a massive audience because of its deep psychological wars, animation style, and overall aesthetic.
The lighting and shadows describe the characters’ intent, and the camera angles and perspective put you in the shoes of the protagonist and antagonist.
Your name
The first movie that crossed boundaries and brought together every anime fan was your name or Kimi No Na Wa.
This masterpiece from Makoto Shinkai has a separate fanbase. Makoto Shinkai has a long list of movies so well animated that we might need another article just for that.
But your name definitely comes at the top of our list of the Top 14 aesthetically pleasing anime shows you need to watch.
Hyouka
Hyouka is your typical high school romance anime, but it also has its set of aesthetics.
The show has certain moments that totally top the charts regarding the animation style.
If you have ever watched this show, you must be aware of the last episode of this show. It was a blessing from the gods!
Kill la Kill
The animation in Kill La Kill differs from the other animations in common action/comedy series.
Cartoons highly inspire aesthetics, creating this beautiful cartoon-like animation that pleases the eyes.
If you want to try something new, Kill La Kill is your best bet.
But watch it alone. It has some ecchi scenes that will catch you off guard.
Serial experimental lain
Serial experimental lain takes the gloomy concepts of colors and perspective, creating a distinguished atmosphere that diminishes the line between reality and fiction.
Did you find the above sentence formation weird? If yes, then Serial experimental lain is not for you.
Just kidding, the animation in Serial experimental lain is so lazy and depressing that even the happiest person will fall deep into an existential crisis.
So that was our take on the Top 14 aesthetically pleasing anime shows you need to watch right now.
