As there are still a few weeks left before the competition starts, Mobile Legends fans can watch a similar display of action and fantasy in the form of anime.
Just like MLBB, anime shows have cool character designs, flashy moves, and the overarching theme that teamwork can overcome any obstacle.
The MLBB pro scene is also home to a few diehard otakus. Mobile Legends icons Danerie James “Wise” Del Rosario and Naser “Dogie” Ignacio Mollazehi for example, are self-professed anime fans.
Here are five anime series to watch before the start of M6 World Championship.
Anime shows that are worth watching before M6 World Championship starts
- Jujutsu Kaisen
- The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
- Trese
- Demon Slayer
- Solo Leveling
Jujutsu Kaisen
Jujutsu Kaisen tells the story of high schooler Yuji Itadori as he ventures into the world of cursed energy.
After accidentally unsealing a cursed finger talisman, Yuji teams up with Jujutsu sorcerer Megumi Fushiguro to fight off the curses that swarm around this spiritual item.
Failing to defeat them, Yuji rashly swallows the finger talisman in order to save himself and his friends from danger, but in exchange, he becomes the human host of the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna.
The show joined forces with MLBB in early 2023 in a blockbuster collaboration. Exclusive, time-limited JJK skins for beloved heroes Julian, Xavier, Melissa, and Yin were released, along with exclusive in-game cosmetics.
With its thrilling display of super moves and hilarious interactions, Jujutsu Kaisen is a sure hit among Mobile Legends fans.
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
Tired of 100-plus episode story arcs and complicated lore? Then watch The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., a lighthearted comedy anime.
Viewers follow the life of Saiki Kusuo, an unusual high school student who was born with psychic powers. Though he can read minds and use telekinesis, Kusuo does his best to live a normal life, and refrains from using his powers unless there’s an emergency.
With three seasons already out, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. is bound to give Mobile Legends players some good laughs.
Trese
When it comes to shows about the Philippines, one of the biggest countries in the MPL scene, Netflix’s Trese stands as the most fitting anime to bide your time with.
The series captures the everyday life of Alexandra Trese, a detective who specializes in supernatural crimes, and acts as the Babaylan-Mandirigma, the guardian of Manila.
Accompanied by demigod twins, Trese embarks on a six-episode journey on Netflix that unravels the dark underworld of the bustling capital.
If you’re interested in Filipino folklore, Trese does a fantastic job of recreating eerie ghost stories like the tiyanak and the White Lady in a gritty, modern setting.
Solo Leveling
Tired of slow character growth and predictable plotlines? Then dive into Solo Leveling, a fast-paced, action-heavy webtoon that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Solo Leveling follows Sung Jin-Woo, the world’s weakest hunter, who suddenly gains the mysterious ability to “level up” his powers.
As he evolves from a barely surviving fighter to a force to be reckoned with, Jin-Woo faces powerful enemies, uncovers secrets, and defies all expectations.
With gripping visuals and a hero you’ll root for from start to finish, Solo Leveling is perfect for Mobile Legends players craving a high-stakes adventure that doesn’t hold back.
Demon Slayer
Demon Slayer follows Tanjiro Kamado, a kind-hearted boy whose life takes a tragic turn when demons slaughter his family.
Left with only his sister Nezuko—who’s been transformed into a demon—Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps to avenge his family and find a way to cure Nezuko.
Alongside a team of powerful swordsmen, he faces ruthless demons, mastering breathing techniques and unlocking new powers with every battle.
With breathtaking animation and epic sword fights, Demon Slayer is a perfect fit for Mobile Legends fans looking for an anime packed with action and heart.
