Glass no Kamen (2005)

Series that emphasise the presentation of struggle and dramatic event(s) through culminating the portrayal of the experience to that point visually or by some other means.

Shows/Movies of all kinds that are either meant for or can be enjoyed by an older audience. A treasure trove of excellence covering a wide range. Story-driven thrillers, well researched historical shows, brilliant world-constructions, poetic narrations, gripping thrillers, dark comedies, complex future visions, tightly packed action, avant-garde art, solid entertainment, tear-jerking dramas to light-hearted slices of lives.
No big-boob dumdums, high-pitched VAs, fan-/lip-service or plot-around-the-holes-type shows. Teenage angst and school-settings are rarities in these two lists.

Only series that are ranked below 2,000 in 'Popularity' on MAL.

Animes focused on the world of entertainment, the music industry, different types of disciplines and art.

For the most part one entry per series. Subject to change as some are unfinished.

Def : Through the eyes of a woman, women are seen as people with feelings and intelligence. The focus isn't necessarily on what the eye can see but on what the heart can feel.

These are very safe for me. TW for Nana and Perfect Blue as it treats sensitive topics.
Hope you enjoy:))

Anime with artistic main/sub plot, all kind of arts & performing arts are welcome here 😍 (music, dancing , acting, story telling, painting , voice acting ..etc) - idols anime are not included here though!😅

An incomplete list of good anime that are generally safe to watch for women and girls. Shows that star strong and well-written female (main) characters, center around female friendships, relationships and empowerment, address important women's issues or feature feminist notions.

This is a work in progress! Some shows I have seen, others I want to.

This stack will be fullfilled with the best animes released recently since 2000 and has a collection of dense/provocative themes with inventive ideas that you don't see frequently and also has the power to provoke a sensation of joy or angst.

Anime with subtle/light romance. Listed anime may have the romance genre tag, but is not the main focus of the anime. Going to exclude popular anime like Steins;Gate, FMA, BNHA.

If you have a good Subtle Romance anime you'd like to recommend, please reach out to me!

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

The characters are doing their best here, we can also learn with them

these are in alphabetical order, not by rating, as to show the watch order of longer series. the watch order was the most confusing part of compiling this list myself. i made this over a year ago back when i didn't know about interest stacks. i thought i'd share both this list and my thoughts now that i'm almost done watching all of these. i highly recommend using this as a binge list, it's banger after banger.
