Kokoro Connect extensively uses the body-swapping cliche to build suspense and advance the story. But, instead of turning it into a joke or reserving it for a more mature audience, the authors of this program transformed the notion into a fascinating and thought-provoking drama.
One of the most prevalent motivations for joining a club is interacting with folks with similar interests. The Kokoroco team can form their club, although most students are hesitant to do so.

- IMDb Ratings: 8.7
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 90
- Streaming Platform: Hulu Originals
Gintama should be anticipated wherever feasible. This anime, like One Piece, exploits body swaps for humor. Gintama is absurd in the manner of Sorachi.
Gintoki and Hijikata are involved in a collision in the Soul Switch Arc. Truck-Kun was the event’s host. After body swapping, they must manage their respective organizations. Gintama combines harsh and humorous elements to demonstrate Gintoki and Hijikata’s astonishment. The car approaches slowly from many perspectives.

24. Dragon Ball Z

The original manga by Akira Toriyama was one of the best anime series of the 1980s, but its cultural impact pales in comparison to the manga’s adaptation. The renowned sequel series significantly has two characters.
Goku was an impressionable kid in “Dragon Ball” as a child, but he is now a mature young man with an equally formidable son, Gohan. Unintentionally tied to an alien race, they must combat it with the aid of their friends.
23. Motto To Love-Ru
- Director: Atsushi Ōtsuki
- Writer: Saki Hashemi
- Cast: · Rito Yuuki · Lala Satalin Deviluke; Secondary characters · Risa & Mio · Run & Ren; Supporting characters · Kenichi Saruyama · Zarin
- MDb Ratings: 6.6
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 79
- Streaming Platform: Amazon Video
To Love-Ru sounds like “trouble” in Japanese, which describes its harem system. The body-swapping plot device is used in several episodes, yet the magical nature of the series allows for its seamless integration.
The 2010 series has four instances of body swapping. To minimize spoilers, we believe the best example is when Mikan and Yami switched places and their bodies swapped. Mikan wanted to observe Yami’s capabilities—the narrative centers on Rito from two distinct perspectives, each with its own distinctive experiences.
22. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
- Director: Naokatsu Tsuda
- Writer: Hirohiko Araki

Once you understand “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” concept, you will find it a simple and wildly entertaining show to watch by anime fans and body-sharing anime. Each season is based on a different arc from the long-running manga series by Hirohiko Araki and follows an additional Joestar family member (all of whom have names that can be abbreviated as “JoJo,” hence the title of the series).
The first season of “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” may be ignored in favor of “Stardust Crusaders,” which established most of the show’s defining characteristics of the two characters.
21. Naruto / Naruto: Shippuden

- IMDb Ratings: 5.9

As its title should have suggested, Punctuation Line takes the comedy-harem anime genre in a more humorous direction.
Strange Juice saves the bus passengers that have been kidnapped, but Yuuta Iridatsu soon realizes that his soul has left his body.
He was possessed by a perverted cat spirit that guided him and inhabited his body. Observing pantyhose demonstrates that this energy is much more potent than it already is.

The creator of Rave Master created one of the most popular franchises of our age, from text materialization to the manipulation of elements and, of course, from making text materialize, to the details, to the body swap. Body swapping, the world of Fiore, has seen almost every conceivable kind of magic.
There is a body swap in an anime-only filler episode, and there is another in the manga that has not yet been aired. This occurred for the first time in Episode 19 of the anime when the guild uncovered the strange Changeling power, and everyone inside it changed bodies. Only their author, the academic magician Levy, can reverse their course.

In WIXOSS, a popular trading card game based on LRIGs and Selectors, players compete using cards that include LRIGs and the characters who wield them. WIXOSS and Puella Magi Madoka Magica are often compared due to their similar animation styles and “magical girl” motifs.
Unlike Madoka Magica, WIXOSS starts by introducing us to the magical girls but then takes an unexpected turn. Understand that the LRIGs are not only Yugioh card representations; they are much more. To avoid spoilers.
13. Neon Genesis Evangelion

Even though “Neon Genesis Evangelion” is a mecha anime, it deviated from the norm regarding humans battling enormous robots. The earliest Evangelions were formed from pieces of the original Angel.
They are not, however, typical mecha machines. Instead, they are biological life forms. A team of scientists led by Dr. Katsuragi accidentally detonated an explosion that wiped off half the world’s population, melted the polar ice caps, and reawakened these hideous creatures.

- Streaming Platform: Netflix
The popularity of “Devilman Crybaby” on Netflix made supernatural anime come out of nowhere in 2018. Still, those acquainted with the work of Masaaki Yuasa (best known for the experimental anime feature “Mind Game”) were not shocked in the least.
It is based on the iconic manga series “Devilman” by Go Nagai, although its themes and material are far more mature. While “Devilman” was unquestionably a shonen manga, “Devilman Crybaby” is harsh and utterly devastating.
