Death Note

There will be times that I want to watch the next episode but as soon as the op/ed played, I'll vibe to it first. If the anime has more than 1 op/ed, I'll put the specific song/s that I liked in the description. Also, these are all based on my personal taste in music ^^

Associated words: Dark (Visually and/or Thematically), Story-centric, Atmospheric, Abstract, Psychological, Unorthodox, Nihilistic, AND/OR Avant-garde
(Emphasis on AND/OR)

(I only included anime that i watched and also i didn't included anime that i didn't liked very much.)

"When does it get good?" is a frequently asked question when watching a show that doesn't really caught your attention after a couple of episodes. A lot of series take their time to develop their plot, becoming something more of a gradual interest.

These series however, will probably engaged you just by the very first episode. They feature either outstanding action, an intrigue premise, an interesting character or just an overall feeling that it will get better and better the more you watch.

Stories that are set in a dystopian society, which becomes undesirable to live in: there might be tyrannical governments (with heavy censorships and corruption), environmental disasters, overpower of technology or complete ban of it, and so on.

Ending themes normally don't get the love they deserve, so this a list that consists of a variety of genres, from jazz to rap, but each of them has this strong melodic effect that will surely make you either sing, dance or, at the very least, headbanging you at the rhythm of the song.

Ordered from the most recent to oldest with links included.

Was looking at some fan art one day and it came to my attention that fanart (and very good fanart) is an extremely good indicator of how important an anime is. So taking away the fanart factor from this list. Here is a list of very important anime.

This list is based on many objective factors.

Removed:
- Hongse Jiangshan: Huangma Fenghuo; Jingzhong Baoguo - not very important.
- Haikyuu!! - whilst there are indeed hot boys, it has come to my attention that many anime are similar (with whole genres too). Even if this was hyped by normies.
Added:
- SAO, Fate/stay night, Ling Feng Zhe

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.
