The Kumo brothers work for the government, transporting criminal samurai who have fled their jail cell. The eldest brother, Tenka, is the strongest of the brothers. Even in the face of danger, Tenka will continue to laugh under the clouds. As the brothers continue to capture loose samurai, they begin to learn about a great power that might consume them.

The Laughing Under the Clouds films are a set of side stories. Some of the stories take place before the anime series, and some take place after. Although incomplete at the time of this article, we are happy with what we’ve seen so far, and cannot wait for the next one!

It’s 19th century England, and civilians use undead corpses as their slaves. This idea was thought up by none other than Dr. Victor Frankenstein, who actually created an undead corpse with a soul. But that corpse is long gone, and the corpses used today are controlled by a machine known as the Necroware. John Watson decides to illegally recreate Frankenstein’s corpse, but ends up getting put into a race to find Frankenstein’s notes before they end up in the wrong hands.

This is the first installment in the Project Itoh film trilogy, followed by Harmony and Genocidal Organ. Not only that, but The Empire of Corpses is one of Studio WIT’s first films that isn’t a recap movie. The Empire of Corpses has an eerie vibe that keeps you at the edge of your seat. It’s creepy and thrilling, yet beautiful to look at. If Studio WIT can handle a topic like the undead, then maybe they should try making a horror anime in the future.

Hozuki is the chief deputy to Lord Enma, the King of Hell. Behind the scenes, Hozuki is the one who takes care of all affairs, including missions and counseling. His methods may be a little rough, some may even say sadistic, but Hozuki keeps a level head through it all.

Hozuki’s Coolheadedness is a hilarious comedy, and is Studio WIT’s only comedy series to date. Lucky for them, Hozuki’s Coolheadedness was so successful that it received a second season in 2017. If you like episodic anime with a new funny mission every week, then you’ll probably enjoy Hozuki’s Coolheadedness. How Hozuki is able to keep a cool head when surrounded by imbeciles is beyond us, but at least it makes for some funny moments.

The kabane are zombie-like creatures that are taking over village after village. Ikoma is an inventor who is trying to create a weapon that can kill kabane. In doing so, Ikoma ends up getting bitten by a kabane but stops the disease from getting to his heart. This turns Ikoma into a kabaneri; half man, half kabane. And turns out, he’s not the only one.

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress was WIT Studio’s first original anime, meaning they did not base it on any source material. And lucky for them, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress was so successful that it was greenlit for a season two. Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress’ art style is reminiscent of a Studio Ghibli film, but more polished and with a darker contrast and saturated color pallet. The action scenes will make it hard for you to blink, as you see the characters move swiftly and killing every kabane in their path. It’s a stylistically cool steampunk anime that you cannot miss!

What should have been a regular day ended up being the end of the world. Vampires reveal themselves and take over the human race, killing almost every adult and sparing the children. The children are practically cows on a farm to the vampires, as they enslave them in a facility. One day, Yu and his family try to escape the vampire’s clutches, but end up getting killed in cold blood. Only Yu was able to break free, and now he’s in training to become a vampire exterminator of the Moon Demon Company.

Owari no Seraph is set up a lot like WIT’s previous post-apocalyptic anime. The protagonist's loved ones die at the hands of monsters that have taken over. Then, the main character joins a team to specifically eradicate the monster, and in doing so, finds out that he’s different from the rest of his teammates and is the key to defeating the monsters. If you’re a fan of series like this, then Owari no Seraph is right up your alley. As an added bonus, one of the greatest composers of our time, Sawano Hiroyuki, created the soundtrack. Now how can anyone say no to that?

Akira Tachibana was once a track and field star, until she broke her Achilles’ tendon. Feeling depressed and useless, Tachibana spends her time alone and ignores her friends from the track team. For the first time in a while, Tachibana felt a bit of happiness while taking shelter at a restaurant during a storm when the manager of the restaurant, Kondo, made Tachibana smile by doing a magic trick. It was then, that Tachibana found her first love.

Ok, we know, a high school girl falling in love with an older man does sound pretty gross. But don’t be fooled, because After the Rain is more of a drama than a romance. Kondo has no romantic feelings towards Tachibana. Instead, the two help each other by giving back the motivation they once lost. For example, Tachibana had been depressed ever since she broke her foot, but after spending time with Kondo, Tachibana now feels that drive to pursue her passion once more. Tachibana and Kondo do share quite a bit of touching moments, but all in all, After the Rain is more of a tale of coming-of-age, rather than true love.

“I wish I never had you.” Were the last words Chise’s mother said to her before commiting suicide. Caring little about her own life, Chise puts herself on the black market, only to be sold to an ancient mage. The mage, Elias, is an unknown creature with a bull’s skull for a head. Elias notices Chise’s potential as a mage, and takes her in as his apprentice. Now living with someone who wants her, will Chise develop a desire to live? Maybe so, because Elias wants Chise to be his bride.

The Ancient Magus’ Bride was WIT Studio’s first time diving into the romance and fantasy genres, and they pulled it off with flying colors. First off, the anime is refreshing with the series taking place in England, Iceland, and Ireland. Second, The Ancient Magus’ Bride immerses you in its fantastical world of dragons, talking cats, mages, and sorcerers. And finally, the acoustics bring the whimsical elements together by making you feel as though you’ve been whisked away to another realm. In a way, you could say The Ancient Magus’ Bride is like the anime counterpart to Harry Potter.

Eren always wanted to see what lies beyond the walls, but giants resembling human males known as “titans” roam the lands and only feast on people. Humanity is at the brink of extinction and their only safe haven are the walls that surround three large cities. One day, a titan breaks through the wall that kept Eren and his family safe and a titan kills his mother. It was that day that Eren vowed to kill every titan in existence.

WIT Studio’s first anime ended up being their greatest hit. Attack On Titan took the world by storm and became a modern classic, not only capturing the attention of anime fans, but non-anime fans as well. Attack On Titan is a thrilling action series, with incredible animation and a bombastic soundtrack. There are also some mystery elements when trying to snoop out traitors and finding out the identities of certain titans. Attack On Titan doesn’t hold back when it comes to the horrific death scenes that the titans induce, and the deaths get more violent as the series goes on. If for whatever reason, you have not seen Attack On Titan, then do yourself a favor, and pick it up ASAP.

Overcome with hatred, Thorfinn grows up to eventually join the very mercenary group that killed his father. Thorfinn conceals his true identity, in hopes of murdering the leader, Askeladd.

For the longest time, we thought Vinland Saga would never get an anime. Almost 15 years since it’s debut, Vinland Saga will finally be adapted by Studio WIT. This is an epic manga that many avid manga readers will claim as one of the greatest manga of our time. Heck, not just of our time, but of all time, standing up to the likes of Berserk. Although, we do not know if WIT Studio’s Vinland Saga adaptation will be accurate to the manga, considering their previous adaptations, we probably have nothing to worry about.
