Dj Rocky Reveals His Top 10 Netflix Anime

The Uganda media personality and anime enthusiast Dj Rocky has finally opened up about his favorite animated series available on Netflix. Known for his eclectic taste that blends mainstream hits with hidden gems, Rocky shared his personal ranking in an exclusive chat. From supernatural thrillers to heartfelt action comedies, here are the nine shows that currently top his watchlist — including a couple of beloved Western animated classics that he considers honorary anime.

1. One Piece (1999–present) Dj Rocky admits that starting One Piece feels like a marathon, The story follows Monkey D. Luffy, a boy whose body gains rubber properties after accidentally eating a Devil Fruit. He dreams of becoming the Pirate King by finding the legendary treasure, the One Piece. Luffy assembles a diverse crew of misfits — including a swordsman, a navigator, a cook, and a talking reindeer — each chasing their own dream. Rocky praises Eiichiro Oda’s world‑building, the emotional backstories of every crew member, and how the show balances goofy humour with gut‑wrenching tragedy. Though the episode count is daunting, Rocky says, “Once you reach Water 7 or Marineford, you’ll understand why it’s a masterpiece.”

2. Jujutsu Kaisen (2020–present) Dj Rocky kicks off his list @9th with this masterpiece. Jujutsu Kaisen. The story follows Yuji Itadori, a high schooler with immense physical strength who swallows the severed finger of the most powerful curse in history, Ryomen Sukuna. He joins the secretive Jujutsu High to track down the remaining fingers while Sukuna occasionally takes over his body. Rocky calls the fight choreography “unmatched in modern anime,” especially the Shibuya Incident arc. He also loves the complex moral questions about whether a person can be good while housing an irredeemable evil.

3. Record of Ragnarok (2021–2025) Next up is this high‑stakes tournament anime. Every millennium, the Gods’ Council votes to end humanity’s existence after seven million years of war and destruction. But the Valkyrie Brunhilde proposes a final showdown: thirteen one‑on‑one battles between legendary human heroes and powerful gods. If humanity wins even seven matches, they survive. Rocky loves the over‑the‑top matchups — like Adam against Zeus or Lü Bu against Thor — and the philosophical debates woven into each bloody round.

4. Sakamoto Days (2025–present) Dj Rocky calls this “the most charming action comedy on Netflix.” It follows Taro Sakamoto, a retired hitman who was once feared worldwide. He now runs a small convenience store, has a loving wife and daughter, and swears off killing. But his past constantly catches up with him. Former colleagues and rival assassins keep showing up, forcing Sakamoto to defend his family using creative, non‑lethal tactics. Rocky admires how the show balances slapstick humour with surprisingly heartfelt family moments.

5. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (2021–2024) This global phenomenon made Dj Rocky fall back in love with shonen anime. Tanjiro Kamado returns home one day to find his entire family slaughtered by demons — except his sister Nezuko, who has been turned into a demon herself. Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps to hunt down the demon king, Muzan Kibutsuji, while searching for a cure to turn Nezuko human again. Rocky highlights the breathtaking animation by Ufotable and the emotional weight of Tanjiro’s journey.

6. Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005–2008) Though technically a Western cartoon, Dj Rocky insists it belongs on any anime fan’s list. Set in a war‑torn world where certain people can “bend” the elements, the story follows Aang, a twelve‑year‑old boy who is the long‑lost Avatar — the only one capable of mastering all four elements and restoring peace. Alongside his waterbending master Katara, her brother Sokka, and later the exiled firebender Zuko, Aang learns that true heroism requires more than just power. Rocky calls it “the perfect coming‑of‑age epic.”

7. The Legend of Korra (2012–2014) Taking place seventy years after the events of Airbender, this sequel series follows Korra, a brash, powerful waterbender who is the next Avatar. Set in a rapidly modernising city called Republic City, Korra faces anti‑bending revolutionaries, dark spirits, and her own spiritual shortcomings. Rocky appreciates how the show tackles mature themes like political extremism, trauma, and the value of wisdom over brute strength. Despite mixed reception initially, he says it has aged like fine wine, especially the stunning animation of Book Three.

8. Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny (2018–2019) Yes, the Kung Fu Panda franchise also has a Netflix series. In this hidden gem, Po discovers four young pandas who have accidentally absorbed ancient chi powers from the Well of Heroes. He must train them to become Dragon Warriors and prevent a malevolent spirit from escaping its ethereal prison. Dj Rocky loves that the show expands the lore of the movies while keeping the same blend of martial arts, comedy, and heart. He says it’s perfect for anyone who enjoyed the films but wants deeper character arcs for a younger cast.

9. My Hero Academia (2016–2025) For his runner‑up, Rocky picks this long‑running superhero epic. In a world where most people have superpowers called “Quirks,” Izuku Midoriya is born without one. Despite that, he never gives up his dream of becoming a hero. After a chance encounter with the world’s greatest hero, All Might, he inherits a powerful Quirk and enrolls in U.A. High School, an elite academy for heroes in training. Rocky admires the show’s ability to balance massive training arcs, intense villain battles, and sincere messages about what it truly means to be a hero.

10. Castlevania (2017–2021) And finally, Dj Rocky’s absolute favourite — is this gothic horror masterpiece. Castlevania follows Trevor Belmont, the last surviving heir of a legendary monster‑hunting family. He teams up with the magically gifted Sypha and Dracula’s own half‑human son, Alucard, to stop the vampire lord from exterminating humanity. The series draws from the classic Japanese video games, especially Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse and Symphony of the Night. Rocky praises its mature storytelling and fluid fight choreography.
