Tags: Anime Summer Feel, Anime Summer Feeling, Anime Summer Theme, Anime Summer Vibes

Anime that teaches the viewer about or creates interest in a subject. Focusing on more tangible topics, not something subjective or abstract like life lessons.

Excludes anime tagged with the educational theme. Only one sports anime per sport.

On this stack , I will attempt to make a newcomer's entrance into the japanese animated medium as smooth as possible. By the end of this stack I'm hoping you will be a well enough rounded anime watcher to understand what you like and what you dislike, as well as having you experience anime that are very good and others not as good, for you to appreciate anime as it is rather than showing off only the gems when the chest is 80% full of rocks.

This stack doesn't have the finest knowledge on everything and there are a fair amount of big types of anime I have no idea how to handle due to my own inexperience, a few big ones being sports shonen, shoujo and older anime. Feedback appreciated.

Anime with traditional Japanese sports, games, arts, folklore or food!

A stack of heroine with glasses in anime for those who love glasses.

Comedy Anime With Great Well Written Characters...

when exams are over and you wanna enjoy the summer

I chased after rabbits on that mountain.
I fished for minnow in that river.
I still dream of those days even now
Oh, how I miss my old country home.

Father and mother―are they doing well?
Is everything well with my old friends?
When the rain falls, when the wind blows,
I stop and recall of my old country home.

Some day when I have done what I set out to do,
I'll return home one of these days
Where the mountains are green, my old country home,
Where the waters are clear, my old country home.

Sometimes I dream that I'm on the hill
Chasing the wild hares freely at will
Catching small fish as the brook murmurs by
Place of my birthright, for you I sigh.

Father and mother―once you taught me
That treasures of life are all given free
Friendship and happiness - Sunshine and rain,
Your words come back to me time and again.

Clear crystal brooklet - fresh hills of blue
Whisper across the breeze - where are you?
When fortune smiles on me, then Furusato,
I will return to you, I love you so.

Kansai-ben, Touhoku-ben, Hokkaido-ben, ... Japan is rich with their dialects, accents and expressions. I find certain charms to these and will try to maintain this stack adding animes involving some of these dialects.
It might take me some time to gather series and regions but I will try my best.
If you have suggestions, my comments are opens |ω･)ﾉ
(will try to take time to inform where's the dialect are from)

A selection of 21st century anime series featuring characters who are adults. From ordinary office workers to traveling peddlers to superheroes, adult protagonists can have a variety of life experiences and many different ways of living. Young emerging adults may still be trying to find their path in life, while established older folks are more likely to have mastered the art of adulting - or at least learned enough to muddle by. Some adults become jaded over time from repeated exposure to the reality that life is often painful, depressing, and unfair. Others retain a more positive outlook by focusing on their dreams for the future or take a more pragmatic approach by putting all their efforts into improving their lives here and now.

Being purely evil or purely good is a misconception. You never know, but there are times someone has to sacrifice their good to become the villain. We always have some good and bad in us. So bad guys can have a conscience too.
