The romance as a genre, in it's typical sense, is a hit or miss for most of us, and this is understandable. Each of us had different outlook on life, our experience has shaped our personalities by particular ways, and the way we comprehend the fragile and gentle feelings of love within ourselves is something very personal.

But then again, some stories, despite not having entirely romantic focus, can portray relationships and can be felt deeply. Shows like these rarely does get the spotlight for this reasons, and are oftenly skipped by people who're usually interested in the romance aspect of things, which is one of the reasons this collection was made.

Some of these works have interesting variety of genres, themes and moods, but in each of them you can find a hint of, if not well explored, romance. As well as that, some romances that are breaking the mold of the usual adaptations are included, since they're rarely well explored within the fandom, and deserve our appreciation.

Welcome to the MCU.

I'm INFP, so I love watching characters who have the same perspective. I think this is interesting to watch some Fi-Ne dynamics in others.
Only first seasons. Based on personality database and my opinion.

* means one of my faves

Animes set in desert or isolated areas

This is a list of shounen & seinen animes which include well written female cast or female mc who have a good amount of screen time and not done dirty like a lot of other male targeted animes (cough naruto) No more giving your side male characters more screen time than your ''supposedly'' female mc

Some Animes I am Hesitant to Add
1) Bleach: I love its female characters a lot and Rukia was one of my fav mcs' but I think compared to male characters they were done dirty

Animes shoujosei (and some seinen/shounen) of romance (not all), with royalty/historical/isekai themes

𝗥𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆: These anime feature royalty: members of a royal family such as King, Queen, Prince, or Princess.

𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹: The setting of a historical anime takes place at some point in Earth's past. The level of dedication to portraying the lifestyles, societies, and technologies of past periods and peoples accurately or believably can vary greatly between different works.

𝗜𝘀𝗲𝗸𝗮𝗶: Isekai is a fantasy genre where a person from Earth is transported to, reborn, or trapped in a parallel universe or fantasy world.

EN: Anime that aired on Polish television programming block Hyper (later Hyper+)

PL: Anime nadawane na kanale Hyper (później Hyper+). Lista na bazie https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper+

I have honestly no idea why I made this.

This is a Compiled List of Isekai or Isekai-ish anime.
Each entry is accompanied by some bullet points explaining certain aspects of the anime and what type of Isekai it belongs to.

Understand that everything written about any given show is completely 100% my PERSONAL OPINION. If you disagree with anything I have written that is okay however, I will not change my views on the matter.

This is a list of all the anime shows that aired on Animax (Portugal). A defunct portuguese channel dedicated to all things anime.

Anime with emo or whatever 2000s nostalgia. Wide-spaced too huge eyes,large forehead, tiny mouth, moe-blob. Some has y2k fashion or catchy tunes. Some are not to watch with other people unless you know they're fine with it. I haven't really watch any of them so I only picked based on thumbnail art-style. Always read reviews + genre tags before watching.
2000s anime ost
https://spotify.link/YOoWF3PH4Db

Crossover cosmology. Characters, myths, historical figures interacting with each other. Stories, timeliness, worlds clashes into each other. Shared universe. Avengers archetype. Peak fiction fantasy.
Cartoon version (western animation) of what I’m referring to: Ever After High, Monster High, Clone High, Marvel & DC multiverses, Arcane.
