We follow our main character around a world inhabited by creatures called gems. These gems need to work together if they are to survive against a common enemy.

First released in October of 2017, this anime is filled with action, drama, fantasy and is definitely entertaining.

9. Welcome to the NHK

In this anime we have a shut-in, college dropout by the name of Tatsuhiro Satou, and he believes that an evil organization called the NHK is out to get him.

He is more isolated, rather than lonely, but this comedy filled anime still deserves a spot on this list.

7. Midori no Hibi

Have you ever been so lonely that your right hand is your only comfort?

6. Darker than Black

A sci-fi thriller with lots of action, first appearing in April of 2007, Darker Than Black tells the story of people exchanging what makes them human for unbelievable abilities.

2. March Comes in like a Lion

One of the advantages of living alone is you get to do what you want to do, however one of the main disadvantages is that you have to take care of yourself, and in the case of Rei Kiriyama, he does not take care of himself and becomes a recluse and becomes very lonely, that is until he meets a group of sisters who help him get back on his feet and social again.

1. Shield Hero
