I want to make a list of all the worthwhile 4:3 aspect ratio anime. Should be particularly useful for anyone watching on an iPad or old TV. Suggestions are welcome, I'll just start by adding stuff I've watched that I know is 4:3.

List of obscure confusing plot-centered anime from the stone age that will automatically make you have a superior anime taste.

Anime series that are great and underrated.

Animes that are either exclusive to Hulu or not on popular streaming services.

This is a list of anime that Quentin has either watched and liked or anime that he would most likely enjoy, based on his filmography of non-linear narratives and overall taste of foreign movies, for example.





“I want to have the fun of doing anime and I love anime, but I can’t do storyboards because I can’t really draw and that’s what they live and die on.” Quentin Tarantino.

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.

//List of shows that (to my knowledge) have an italian dub

Lista di tutti i titoli che trovo doppiati in italiano.
Per risparmiare spazio metterò solo la prima stagione e specificherò nella descrizione se delle eventuali stagioni successive sono state doppiate.

//dubito di riuscire a includerli tutti, quindi includerei solo quelli nella mia anime list, ci proviamo insomma, faccio del mio meglio//

List of anime with attractive aesthetics and story for young and old. They stand out for having a western or remarkable visual aesthetic from the rest.

!this is based on my opinion please don't berate me for my tastes much appreciated!
some of my favorites from the decade I was born. (this is also based on what I've seen so far, list will go through changes)

"Is that a, uh, um, some reference?"
Basically shows referencing other franchises

(Note: Feel free to suggest more or to tell me if I missed something. This was made by someone who has not seen Gintama)

Titles with uncommon storytelling, plot development and setting.

Anime that bang

Anime that have characters with rabbit features.

Anime made by the first generation of anime fans.

I’m coining the term Anime New Wave in reference to the French New Wave and the Japanese New Wave in film canon. Like both of these movements, the first generation of creatives to achieve any kind of mainstream success were establishing the medium themselves and were drawing inspiration from outside their art form, such as how Osamu Tezuka was inspired by the work of Fritz Lang or how Hayao Miyazaki’s adaptation of Lupin III was deeply entrenched in film noir and Golden Age Hollywood aesthetics. With the rise of an otaku culture punctuated by the first doujin anime and the development of Studio Gainax, anime began to have its ideas and themes codified into a replicable series of cinematic references. Dezaki’s beautiful use of intense lighting and postcard memories, Tomino’s frantic paneling and action set pieces, Takahata’s evocative pastoral landscapes and slow takes, the language of anime was being written one word at a time. In the late 80s we saw the rise of talented creators who speak that language as their first tongue, and the results were inimitable and immediate.

Some directors I am considering under the term include Hideaki Anno, Shinichiro Watanabe, Kunihiko Ikuhara, and Satoshi Kon, just so there’s a point of reference here. I’m trying not to include directors who are usually lumped in with others on this list but were actively working as primary creatives in the studio system in the 80s, such as Mamoru Oshii. Lastly, I’m trying to keep the list centered on the initial wave of anime created even though plenty of these creatives have gone on to work on other things, just so I don’t have it be too confusing to look at. Arbitrary, I know.

Feel free to post comments on my page if you have any suggestions.

Anime that is already completed and will never get a season 2 either because it's original or anime adapts the whole source material. Some will not get a squeal either because the manga has already ended or the anime is too old to get a season 2.
