A Netflix viewing guide curated around the October and Halloween vibe, recommending three anime series: Dandadan, Yomi no Tsugai, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. This list represents the author's personal recommendations and is not an official Netflix ranking.
Dandadan revolves around ghosts, aliens, and two protagonists who believe in different supernatural phenomena, shifting between action, grotesque elements, and comedy. Science SARU uses distinct color themes for ghosts and aliens, creating visuals that are both bright and lively yet eerie. The series premiered in 2024, with its second season released in 2025, making it one of the newer choices on the list.
Yomi no Tsugai will premiere in spring 2026 with 24 episodes, created by the same author as Fullmetal Alchemist. The anime features a dark overall tone and intense action, with paired "Yomi" characters adding horror elements through their varied appearances, abilities, and origins, while also incorporating comedic content.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, with key highlights including Night City's sci-fi atmosphere, dark tone, and emotional impact. The first season consists of 10 episodes, while a new season will premiere on October 20th, featuring an independent storyline separate from the first season.
