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 bad stuff list. If you want the good stuff list, go here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9517

The OVA market dried up as straight to video releases became a thing of the past, which is unfortunate because a lot of interesting and unique anime were released in this format. The point of the list is to feature worthwhile OVAs that are more than just fanservice or shoddy extras for TV series. Sigh, due to the explicit content warning feature, I've excluded Mezzo Forte, but it would be on here otherwise. I should also probably make room for Yukikaze at some point.

Now let me preface, the title is a bit reductionist, we shouldn't feel obligated to label what something is or isn't. Rather, the media below at the very least has an idea in it that is tangential to gender politics, whether simply representation or potentially more triggering such as gender violence. I will put potentially triggering titles last (except Bellandonna).

As an aside, just because something is problematic, doesn't mean you can't experience it or even enjoy it. The key is to do your homework (I've got lots to do) so you can see those problems and therefore not internalize them but rather engage with them.

Either way, all of these works have something in them that might add to your understanding of the subject, or not lol.

Also feel free to message me if you wanna talk or recommend something. I'm always down to learn/hear a new perspective.

(WIP)

Por algum motivo esses animes me passam um feeling comum entre eles, uma vibe meio de um anime não muito conhecido e que é mais diferentão. Talvez algo que fuja um pouco do design batido de uns animes mais populares. Não uma fuga total, mas algo... diferente, eu acho.

More mature stuff without common anime tropes.

Before the likes of Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon conquering the kids in the west, it was actually Akira that opened the door and made people realize that the cartoons coming from Japan weren't what you would expect from Disney or your TV channels.
A huge flood of VHS tapes came showing animations with mature themes, absurd plots, and enough graphic sex and violence to make parents freak out... what a glorious time!
They don't make cartoons like this anymore.

This is a comprehensive list with stuff from very good to very trashy, but all in the same spirit.
Some early 00's also included.

ps: I also recommend, but can't include here, the second Violence Jack movie, A Kite and Mezzo Forte.

Anime which showcases an exaggerated amount of blood and visceral scenery often.

Animes that examines how the humans relates to each other from different points of view. Some are more focused on individuals and some explores bigger groups or societies.

A mix of 80's & 90's ova series that I have seen.
Some great, some not so much... you be the judge of what's good though.
