Mameshiba

Anime with shorter than average Episodes that are quick to finish.
Most of them but no exclusively comedy.
Not including sequels.

A list of generally safe series that can be watched with family.

Wait--you're telling me I can actually learn from anime???

I haven't found any Mameshiba guide so here's one for the Mameshiba enthusiasts. The aim of this guide is to consolidate all Mameshiba anime and list them in order of release as it could be confusing as well as provide some info on episodes. No Mameshiba slander allowed here.

You can also find all the Mameshiba anime listed on the sidebar of this Mameshiba club: https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=78287 (Active)
I also made a guide (with official YouTube videos) for the club: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2030498

It’s disappointing how most mainstream anime have cliche plots and questionable scenes, and somehow catch the eye of millions. Many series that are actually thought-out and well-crafted are left behind in the dust to be forgotten. We made this interest stack out of hope in sharing these complex and deep stories for you to witness.

Foods such as egg, bread, meat cuts, potatoes, sushi, bananas, mozzarella sticks, cakes, marshmallows, ice cream, etc. come to life.

There are some anime that are so bad that they’re “good”. This stack, however, provides the opposite: anime that are so well-made and enjoyable that they can actually have some sort of side-effect. These anime are so good, that they will hook you, and take over your life in the process.

(this stack is kind of a joke, don’t take it too seriously)

I've also included:
- "Watch order guides" by other users I find helpful and for convenience; number of entries included.
- Some clubs (mostly the ones with the most members), if you want to join one and maybe revive some.
- Anime Watching Challenges by the Anime Watching Challenges Club [AWCc] (https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=70446); also check AWCc's Hall of Fame [HoF] (https://anime.jhiday.net/hof/).
- Live action adaptations (Ctrl + F in the [[ Live Action Adaptations ]] club (https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=5450) or use their script).

I'll be updating this from time to time so the entries will change.

*Inspired by this thread: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2032254 (Which anime franchise has the most MAL entries?)

Legend:
🥇🥈🥉 - Gold, Silver, Bronze = Top 3
🔺 - Moved Up (risen in the rankings with new addition/s in the DB)
🔻 - Moved Down (something was removed in the DB)
✔️ - Description Box is up-to-date. Other stacks (number of entries, title change), challenges and clubs (status/activity) checked.
❗️WIP! - Work in progress (means I'm working on a watch order guide stack)

---

P.S. Everything would look clean if they just enable BBCode for stacks.

P.P.S. I made a second stack for 51-100. So I could just move some of the entries to the other stack instead of really deleting them.

Also, watch out for Pororo! He'll slowly climb to the top 50.

Wholesome doesn't have to contain romance. It's just a warm, fluffy feeling that you get when something sweet happens. When listing these anime, I try to think of those that don't have toxic relationships or characters (unlike some in their genre).
