Himouto! Umaru-chan

Anime you can only find (or used to only find) on Amazon, I'm going to add anime you could technically watch on HIDIVE (because Sentai has the licenses, they get to share some series). Note that I'm not adding shows which could be considered "old" because they weren't released as amazon-only initially, so no Gamba or Takarajima. Also no 'Ishida to Asakura', you can't fool us with that 2021 date Amazon, it came out in 2013. Not adding shows which are on other streaming platforms in the West (If I were to consider them I'd add a note), so no Asia streams or programming in other regions. Of course, if I get something wrong put it in the comments, this is to keep track of anime on Amazon but don't expect this to be the most "official" list because of expected region differences. Note also that some can be found on Funimation but due to Crunchyroll's merge I'm still unsure about adding them, I mostly get the streaming info from LiveChart although I've noticed it also misses some streams like 'Unbreakable Machine Doll' or the new 'Initial D Legend' movies which are available with Prime. As a side note, Amazon owns the right to many sequels but either has the original on Prime (But I consider other streaming platforms so no 'Psycho-Pass 1') or under a paywall.

Edit 2023: Because of the many licenses gone to HIDIVE this list is trying to compile what were Amazon Originals, I'm slowly working my way to knowing exactly which series fit these criteria, such as Vinland Saga which started as an Amazon original but then went on to be in Crunchyroll and Netflix, if a series is in the two of the biggest anime streaming platform Funimation and Crunchyroll (although they're basically the same now they still work as different platforms) they're not admitted here however if on one of the two then it's fine, why? because at that point being an alternative platform doesn't cut it when a series is on two of the more popular anime streaming services.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/994

Anime that has an otaku as the main character.

♡『Anime with a cute art style or a cute cast of characters!』♡

Anime with smol/cute main or side characters which you KNOW you feel the urge to protecc! There is one entry per series.

Warning: Some of these characters come really late in the series.

Light anime to watch to take a break from catching up to one piece!!

1. Cast is all-girl
2. Not in the romance genre*
3. Only Slice of life shows[so no action/battle shows].

Whenever your having a stressful day or just want to relax, this is your go to list for some chill anime.

Animes that are very relaxing to watch and has cute characters doing cute stuffs. Do keep in mind that these series has little to no plot.

Shows and movies with generally low-stakes plot, refreshing and bright visuals, for stress-free viewing while you blast the air conditioning.

Here's a list of actual comfort anime, that I have watched and can vouch for. These are shows you can fall asleep to, or watch after/during a mental breakdown. Peace and love on planet earth <3

This stack includes animes which are peaceful and leave you with a filled happy feeling rather than the animes with sad and depressing stuffs. That is this stack is filled with a list of feel good animes. And yeah ofc there will be complications here and there in the anime but overall it is an wholesome anime.

This is a weird concept for a list, but I think it's worth putting it out there. These are anime which I consider help understand anime better because of their referential humour, commentary on otaku culture (whether it's anime or gaming), exploration of the industry and twisting of classic tropes in self-aware ways that put them in perspective. Also included a couple shows which are not necessarily meta or referential, but they are here for being aggresively "anime" in nature, if that makes sense. With how over the top they are and/or how stereotypically otaku their concepts are, I think they give a good idea of how anime has developed.

Note: If you truly want to understand otaku culture and anime history, I think an absolute essential is a short show called "Blue Blazers". It is live action however, so it can't be added here. I strongly recommend you check it out, even if the humour can be cringy, because of how deep of an insight it gives into the history of anime and the industry.

Anime with lolis as main focus or main characters.

Animes that make you feel like its summer;^^

note: i did not watch majority of these, this is just a compile of some lists i found online
