However, the gift becomes at once precious and dangerous for her. Using her new talent, she embarks on a journey to discover the truth behind her father’s death even as he appears to her from beyond the grave.
Beavis and Butthead
Step into the ’90s with this animated series. We follow "Beavis and Butthead," who sit on their couch for half of the series while exploring new music. The 90s themes are heavy here, so strap in some serious nostalgia.
Metalocalypse
“Metalocalypse” follows members of a popular metal band Dethklok, so influential that they have their economy. We see the five members who are hilariously branded as idiots trying to get through their day-to-day activities.
However, as the show unravels, we discover the members are placed in the middle of an ancient prophecy in a humorous twist. A bonus: the music in the series is so good that the creator released three of their incredible albums to jam to when you’re not watching the show.
Futurama

Final Space
“Final Space” is not as predictable as you think. It’s full of plot twists and unexpected endings due to the storyline of astronaut Gary whose on a journey to meet aliens and interdimensional beings.
However, the characters he encounters add layers to the show, for they each stand out. From the green blob who wants to destroy the universe and a mooncake, you will get the same wild universe similar to Invincible.
Samurai Jack
If you watched this series as a child, it’s time for a rewatch. Samurai Jack was way more mature than many of its other counterparts in its writing and how it tackled themes. So much of this series is similar to “Invincible.”
The show begins with Samurai Jack trying to go back to the past to undo the destruction of the evil Aku even as he remains stranded in the future. From season five, the show doubles down and embraces a mature feel alongside excellent illustrations.
Castlevania
Castlevania does justice to the video game it is based on. The animation is a dark medieval fantasy that follows the story of Trevor Belmont, a disgraced member of the Belmont clan trying to save Eastern Europe from Vlad Dracula Tepes.
We watch Belmont and his unique team encounter groups of dangerous monsters while navigating the lands of Wallachia. The story is action-packed, and the artwork is stunning. However, trigger warning it’s violent; aside from that, this story is as addictive as can get.
