The new anime release format that appeared in the mid-80s brought new opportunities for studios and various works began to be released on videotapes. Some of them were frankly terrible, but some became classics with a recognizable style and aesthetics. I bring to your attention works worth viewing.

The weirdest and cringe anime.

Animes with body horror and are gore.

Thanks to the user eblf2013 for collaborating.

When I first started watching anime, I thought anime was basically a kind of animation with a unique art style. But now I am seeing that most anime comes with a lot of tropes, and a lot of people see these tropes as part of anime. I am not a fan of these tropes, so I am making a list of anime that I like, and I feel have a relatively low amount of tropes, at least compared to most other anime. I still haven't watched a lot of anime, for example - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. But I will add more anime as I watch them.

Get ready for Halloween with 30 nights worth of horror OVAs and movies that are guaranteed to deliver you spooks and scares.

***Some of these anime can be hard to find so its best to research for links or downloads beforehand for a smoother viewing experience.

Kick back with your choice of inebriant or lack thereof and have some fun watching action heroes battle it out with all sorts of weapons, explosives, superpowers and machines. OVAs aren't usually very long so you don't even need to commit. You don't need to think too much and don't take it so seriously. These shows are all about having a good time and maybe some laughs along the way.

I remember going to the video store, browsing the shelves, and picking out a movie based on the box art alone. I'd look at the front, I'd look at the back, and more often than not I'd put it back on the shelf. Occasionally there'd be something like Ghost in the Shell or Ninja Scroll, and I knew I just had to rent it, or more accurately get my parents to rent it.

This isn't just a list of movies that were available on VHS at my local video store, this is also a list of movies that I would have rented had they been there. They have box art and synopsis appeal, regardless of the reality contained within.

This is my virtual VHS store, where we say Japanimation and we don't stock TV shows unless they're only a few episodes long. I hope you like violence and nudity. Things here also generally skew older, keeping with the VHS theme.

This is the good stuff list. If you want the bad stuff list, go here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9520

WIP. SEE SOMETHING MISSING? MESSAGE ME!

Mystery in an isolated place with a limited number of characters.

There are not many space thrillers, so I thought I would make a list.

Even if the anime is part of an anthology, it will still be included. An example would be “Memories”, where only the first story “Magnetic Rose” is a space thriller.

These are old anime on Crunchyroll, at least as far as MAL identifies them. The stack is ordered newest to oldest.

I started with the oldest anime on MAL: Winter 1917 (hard to believe but there are actually two entries). I scanned through the seasons and years, looking for anime with the Crunchyroll logo and stacked them here. The oldest is Lupin III from Fall 1971. I stopped stacking after Fall 1989. Sadly, it appears the link from the CR icon to the series on CR is broken. The links for HIDIVE and Funimation seem to work.

As to accuracy or completeness, there are no guarantees either way. MAL could be mistaken about a show being on CR and conversely, there are anime on CR that MAL doesn't flag. On top of that, the shows licensed by CR change over time so this stack will go out of date and I don't have firm plans to maintain it.

In passing, I noticed a few things:
-- there are no MAL entries for Fall 1918 through Summer 1926.
-- there are no MAL entries for Summer 1945 through Spring 1947
-- the first multi-season series was "Instant History" in Spring 1961
-- prior to Spring 1961, there were many seasons with no anime; after Spring 1961, there was at least one show each season

And here's something else I just discovered: click on the Anime menu on the left of the main menu bar, then click on Anime Search. Not only will you get a search box, you'll also see a bunch of links that will take you to lists of MAL entries based on the link title. The lists can be sorted by Title, Score, Start Date, and Members. In the Anime Seasons group, click the View More link to get the list of seasons going back to 1917. I'm impressed, MAL.

I don't have a good reason for doing this. I just thought it would be interesting.

Many millennials or younger generations experience "anemoia", or a longing for the pre-internet world when VHS tapes were king, stereos emitted synthpop, and the warm sun caused the rippling seas to glisten. (This stack is written to support members in finding entries which share highly specific or niche interests: that is), 80s-90s anime that boast a retro "aesthetic" prowess — that feature an art style or color palette that evokes "vibes", "atmosphere", "ambiance", or nostalgia. These anime are chockfull of screenshottable frames or GIFs to suit all the lo-fi mixtapes, feely beats, Pinterest feeds, and ethereal longings of a bygone era.

You won't laugh with them, you'll laugh at them!

This list includes those anime films distributed on VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray in Mexico. Currently, due to the death of the home format in Mexico, they are all discontinued editions, but they are collectible pieces for every Mexican anime fan.
