Cinderella Monogatari

Anime either based on, heavily influenced by or drawing key aspects from folklore. Folklore encompasses the traditional beliefs, customs, and stories of a community, people or culture passed down through the generations by word of mouth and later often recorded in written form.

While the majority of works listed in this club have their origins in East Asian folklore (for obvious reasons) also included are examples of folklore ranging from portrayals of the mythology of Ancient Greece, stories featuring local spirits, legendary folk heroes, adaptions of Brothers Grimm fairy tales and narratives featuring the Gods of the Norse pantheon as characters. Modernised interpretations and retellings have been largely excluded.

As MAL currently sadly only allows a max of 50 entries on interests stacks this list prioritises the stand out and most high quality examples of folkloric anime. For a more comprehensive list which also includes manga, I direct you to my accompanying folklore club of the same name.

Collection of historical semi-realistic or realistic works that detail the historical events of Europe or daily life of people in European historical context.

wholesome, comforting titles to watch and rewatch when depressed or exhausted; lots of slice of life, iyashikei, and cute, mindless fluff

I add what I remember

I'm compiling the list from all around the Internet and some from collective memory.

This list might be particularly useful to people doing the yearly anime watching challenge.

For franchises, only one entry is included - assume that any sequels/spin-offs have the same source.
