After Mahoutsukai Sally - the first animated series adapted from a manga that was targeting the "shoujo" demographic (young female audience) - there have been many more works that were targeted to this new market following the initial success of "Mahoutsukai Sally"

This list attempts to collect some of the most important of those works, starting from the beginning. This is done so that people who are interested in or new to the history of "Shoujo" anime can gain atleast some kind of understanding of the history and the development throughout the years.

I will try to write my short spoiler free review/thoughts for each of the entries on this list to explain further why I think the entry is important as far as the history of "shoujo" anime is concerned.

In short these are the series that I think everyone who is interested in shoujo anime, the history of shoujo anime or history of girls entertainment in Japan in general when it comes to animation, should be atleast aware of.

Note: The term "shoujo" used in this list is being used to refer girls entertainment in general and not just adaptations from shoujo manga.

It can be an anime about cats or just feature one cat. Also: not exactly a house cat but any kind of feline.

In conjuntion with the official award by the Reader's choice, the magazine's editors made public their own choices for many years, until 2014.

In that period, the editors disagreed most of the time with readers, with 15 editions having a different choice, 2 editions having a reader's choice winner of a edition, winning in a diferent edition (1980 (1st Half) and 2000/2001), and 2 editions that had a tie, so there was two winners in said years (1982/1983 and 1997/1998).

One of the oldest anime magazines in Japan, being devoted to animation and comics aimed at a general public and not for professionals, with the first issue being released in May 1978. The Anime Grand Prix started in 1979, with the first prize being announced at the issue of 1980 January. The results for most of the awards are made public in either May or June issues.

The choices are made by popular voting, using ballot postcards from the official magazine volumes (not by online voting), so it's the most popular anime for the magazine's reader base at the time.

This list will have all winners of the "Anime of the Year Award", plus the runner-ups that got less than a 50 votes difference to the winner, and the winners of the "Best One of All Time", that ran from 1980 {2nd Half} up to 1999 (there is no info for the quantity of votes). This will be updated every new award publication. Updated with the winner of 2022/2023.

Romance anime that have a prominent Tsundere character, usually they are the love interest, but not always.
No spoilers! They’re not all the winning girl/boy!

Anime that feels like Midwest Emo, Midwest emo is a sub-genre of Emo involving very emotional and sentimental lyrics and lyrics that typically contain a nostalgic nature (Ex.American Football, The Brave Little Abacus, Home is Where, Marietta, Etc).

This is a list of anime adapted from manga in the Hana to Yume magazine. I'm only including first seasons. Reboots and adaptations of sequel mangas are counted as separate adaptations.

Please let me know if I'm missing something. :D
