Mai-HiME

This stack is for shows with either heavily implied or canonical lesbianism, and mecha robots/weapons (mecha here is more of a vibe than a defined concept). If you're looking for action-packed shows with GL elements and weapons then this is the stack for you.

If you have any recommendations for this stack, feel free to send me a message anytime.

Forgive the awkward copy-paste descriptions I had to give explanations on the inclusion of each show to escape the MAL moderators.

To keep track of the dark magical girl shows (mahou shoujo) you've seen or to find more. I've put shows in the same series in the correct watch order so you can just go through them from this list.

Explicitly Cannon Couples and Hard Subtext Shows. Subtext shows listed here have substantial content and not just a little bit of teasing here and there. Subtext can also be an unspoken focal point of the series. These are shows I can actually recommend and like enough to suggest checking out.

-some popular shows in here simply worth mentioning because it would be criminal not to mention them.

-ongoing list

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.

once this passes 50 entries I'll be splitting it between "until 2009" (a new stack) and "since 2010" (this stack)

all my data comes from personality database. i was bored so i made this stack!

In this stack each prefecture will have only one representative and the direction will be by the Japanese ISO (ISO 3166-2:JP).

The works chosen are personal choices, so it doesn't mean that the anime will be the highest representation of that region.

i like women

A list of anime containing ecchi elements, but are not tagged as ecchi by MAL. While the ecchi content may not be as prevalent or extreme as officially-tagged ecchi titles, there is still enough to be of interest to fans of the ecchi genre. Many of these register at least 1.5/3 stars on AniDB's "tag-weighting" system for ecchi.
Conversely, those who don't care for ecchi may wish to use this stack for cautionary purposes, as these titles may contain things like pantyshots, revealing outfits, incestuous overtones, oversized/jiggling breasts, swimsuit/lingerie moments, extended bath/shower scenes, lewd dream/fantasy sequences, innuendo, or general fanservice in an otherwise serious/"respectable" show.
Only the first seasons of franchises are listed. Some titles may (eventually) have additional details explaining why I've placed them on the list.

Anime that seems cute and innocent but takes a dark turn.
