The adventures of a dysfunctional family, attempts to change the past with the help of time travel and search for the elixir of immortality on a mysterious island.
Although Devil May Cry, the Netflix adaptation of the game of the same name, received a 95% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, viewers were much less pleased – the show has a 63% score and a large number of negative reviews.
If you are disappointed with the new anime from Netflix, we suggest turning to Crunchyroll and worthy titles whose episodes have not received a rating below 7.0 on IMDb.
1. Spy x Family, 2022-...
The legendary spy Twilight is given a new mission – to gain the trust of a high-ranking official and prevent another war. But the only way to get into the politician's circle is to join the PTA of the private school where his son studies.
To do this, Twilight creates a fictitious family. His adopted child is a girl named Anya, who spent several years in top-secret government labs where she learned to read minds. His wife is Yor, a city hall employee and a ruthless killer.
Neither Yor nor Twilight know the truth about each other – let alone that Anya can read minds. All three will have to save the world and try to save their fragile, but happy family.
2. Steins;Gate, 2011-2015
Scientist Okabe Rintaro and his friends create gadgets of the future. One day, the man invents the cell phone-operated microwave oven – a device that can send messages to the past.
Steins;Gate is a story about time travel. But it is not a fun adventure in the spirit of Back to the Future or an action movie like Terminator, but a complex philosophical discussion about fatalism and freedom of choice.
Okabe keeps trying to change the past, but finds himself in increasingly tragic versions of the future.

The Kirishiki family moves into the empty castle that towers over the village. Then the villagers suddenly fall ill: they refuse to eat, complain of fatigue, and suddenly die.
