To put more accurately, anime’s that have characters with supernatural abilities in the real world! The following list involves mostly supernatural individuals that live in a world almost oblivious to them and their powers, not like a fantasy world where people have magic powers and the world knows about it. Some involve where supernatural events happen to characters! Enjoy!

Bungo Stray Dogs

An orphan boy who is on the verge on death from starvation because he was kicked out his orphange, finds a guy drowning in a lake. With no strength left, he saves him. Only to find out that that was the drowning man's goal all along. After saving him, the boy is thrust into the supernatural world where people are gifted, like the man he saved and the company called Armed Detective Agency is full of gifted individuals who fight crime and solve the mystery's the normal police can't solve.

Erased

A 29-year old pizza delivery guy, Satoru, sees moments into the future before an accident and tries his best to understand the situation and do what he can to save whoever he can. Getting injured from a recent attempt to save someone, Satoru lands in the hospital. Now his mom comes to take care of him. At age 29, his mom is taking care of him again. Memories from his past come flooding in as he remembers when his mom used to take care of him this way and when he was in school with his classmates. His mom is killed when he is out and he suddenly gets transported back to his school years where his mom is alive. Trying to understand his gift, he has to figure out why he was sent this time and who he needs to save.

Black Butler

Butlers don't just serve their masters tea and make their beds, these butlers have signed a contract with demons to serve them in any capacity. We follow an orphan who is the master of a manor named, Ciel. His main goal is to find those who killed his parents and the one who is going to help him do that is hi butler, Sebastian. This is a very popular anime if you haven't already seen or heard about it, it's a good one.

K

Waking up with no memory is not even the start of the main characters problems. We meet gangs who identify through colors and have magical powers associated with those colors. Our main character we follow wakes up with no memory and becomes the main target of these color gangs. Until a video surfaces that makes him guilty a crime he doesn't remember, these gangs are out to kill.

Durarara!!

In the town of Ikebukuro, rumors of gangs and dangerous dealings are not the only thing to worry about. The headless black rider who rides his soundless motorcycle through the city at night is what has people terrified. We follow a boy named Mikado Ryuugamine, how he comes to this town and the supernatural happenings that occur after he sees the black rider. Wanting more excitement in his life, this is just the beginning of what he thought he wanted.

Nabari No Ou

Miharu is fine to live the boring life that he has become accustomed to. He has no aspirations in life except to continue his boring life. This all changes when a group of underground ninjas come after him looking for Shinrabanshou. Which Miharu has inside of him. With those who want him only looking out for their own agenda, Miharu has to start making the hard choices about his life and who he plans to side with.

Sirius the Jaeger

With legends of werewolves and vampires flooding the cities a group of mercenaries are tasked to find these creatures. One member in the group is the odd man out. He has werewolf genes and has a secret connection with the vampires. We watch as this group learns of this connection and the deeper knowledge of the vampires and their goal. I just finished watching this on Netflix and it is really good!

Servamp

I am currently watching this show on Funimation and it is hilarious and dark! It is another show about vampires and other supernatural powers that happen when you are involved with vampires. We follow a student named Mahiru who finds a stray cat that turns out to be a servant vampire. AKA a Servamp. The characters are great and their is a lot of growth in the first few episodes!

Arcana Famiglia

Arcana Famiglia is an Italian based show about an organization called Arcana Famiglia, that protects an island called Regalo. The members of this organization are given Arcana cards which give them special powers. I haven’t seen this one yet, but with the description and the spoilers and pictures I’ve seen it looks really good!

Steins Gate

This is the next anime on my list, but I have heard good things about it! It’s about a group of friends who create a time machine. They send messages across time causing ripples of time through the past and the present. I also heard that there is a little romance as well.

Enjoy!
