Cute and innocent anime titles where (almost) nothing bad happens.

Anime with smol/cute main or side characters which you KNOW you feel the urge to protecc! There is one entry per series.

Warning: Some of these characters come really late in the series.

A selection of 21st century anime series featuring characters who are adults. From ordinary office workers to traveling peddlers to superheroes, adult protagonists can have a variety of life experiences and many different ways of living. Young emerging adults may still be trying to find their path in life, while established older folks are more likely to have mastered the art of adulting - or at least learned enough to muddle by. Some adults become jaded over time from repeated exposure to the reality that life is often painful, depressing, and unfair. Others retain a more positive outlook by focusing on their dreams for the future or take a more pragmatic approach by putting all their efforts into improving their lives here and now.

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

Educational Gourmet Anime that will Inspire and Instruct you in the Art of Cooking are for those anime that do not just show food, but include:-
* Background on ingredients properties
* Education on how some food products are grown / harvested
* Instructions on proper methods of preparing and/or cooking
* Usually these include recipes
* Final product is delicious food

That the viewer can then be inspired to try and cook, or look for a restaurant to eat it!

Note: I will be adding and re-ordering items on this stack when I watch more Gourmet Animes.

Just some anime characters and whatnot in their usual hectic or peaceful lives, whichever it may be.

-Includes all types of genre but mostly (slice of life, comedy, romance)
