41+ Best Completed Anime you can BINGE!

Updated August 31, 2022 by Ernie

What would be better than binge-watching an anime after it is done? For me, it would be the best thing of my life. Being a devoted otaku, I understand the feelings and emotions of my fellow otaku. To follow an anime series for years and literally grow up with it like DBZ, Naruto, or Pokémon has its own charm and excitement. Plus, the anime peeps can show off their dedication.

On the other hand, there are bundles of series that end in a few months with lesser episodes. They are effortlessly easy to follow since they are short and quick on updates. However, sometimes some anime series make us wait for months or maybe years for their next seasons. Like Attack on Titan and Bleach are doing. Still, we keep up with that patiently because patience is the virtue of us anime freaks.

So, while waiting for your favorite anime’s next season, how about binge-watching a series and savoring your time? Don’t worry; you won’t have to search for it. Today, for my dearest otaku fellas, I bring a list of 42 Best Completed Anime to watch without the annoying cliffhangers.

Get ready for the roller-coaster ride of chills and thrills, a quick exercise of your tear ducts, laughing therapy, and some serene, romantic moments. Lezz goo!!!
