Anime is a culture that has continued to expand with the times.
Back in the day, labels like “hero stories,” “magical girl,” or “mecha” were enough to explain what kind of show it was, but now words alone just aren’t enough.
That’s how big a scene it has become.
In this article, we’re doing a special feature on anime songs recommended for men.
From nostalgic, heart-pounding tracks to relatively recent releases,
it’s a lineup packed with masterpieces.
It may undermine the premise a bit to say this, but although we’re calling them “recommended for men,” there are surely songs here that will resonate with women too.
Please take your time and enjoy it to the end.
