The intent of this stack is to provide a complete history of Sunrise animation in a single course, meant to fit inside the framework of a 3 credit class with an expectation of 90 hours of out-of-class material over the period of a 15 week semester.

Adaptions of manga, or novels will be mostly excluded unless the creators themselves worked at Sunrise like in the case of Dunbine, or Arion. This means extremely notable, and historically important series, such as Cyborg 009, Ultraman, City Hunter, Inuyasha, Planetes, Sgt. Frog, and Gintama will all be excluded, despite the critical artistic contribution of this works on Sunrise's style. A truly dedicated academic would, at the minimum, watch some of the City Hunter, Inuyasha, Sgt Frog and Gintama side content since they were incredibly important on influencing Sunrise studio direction.

This course would ideally be taken alongside a thrice per week hour long lecture, breaking down the lineage of Sunrise's works, and how they influenced one another to build what we have today. As a result, there may be a series you feel is critical, or exceptionally great, but it will be excluded in favor of discussing the series role and relationship to the studio due to the limitations watching long form weekly series made for weekly broadcast. Sunrise is unique in that many of their major series have movies, or OVAs that summarize or recap the main franchise to give viewers a soft entry to understanding the work. However, there are of course serious works like Giant Gorg, Vifam, Pazer World Galient, Ronin Warriors, Jushin Liger, the entirety of the critically influencial Brave Series, most alternative Gundam series (which would be left to their own "Gundam" course), Garasaki, Infinite Ryvius, s-CRY-ed, Big O, Tiger & Bunny or even Love, Live! that would be discussed in class even if they aren't going to be watched.

This is a developing experiment, so please contact me if you have any suggestions, or questions.

Underrated Anime Movies or OVA or Short Films or Short Animated Videos (could be a really great music video).
I have another Interest Stack for Underrated TV series, check 'em out: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/29279

Another Animated Music Video that I cannot include in the list is "Living in a world without magic" by Euluca Lab (an indie studio on YT). I found its page on MAL but somehow I can't add to either my watch list or this stack, kinda suck.

Anime which showcases an exaggerated amount of blood and visceral scenery often.

Entries where the visual aspects, including directing, indicates a large part of the works' qualities. It also includes hidden symbolism within the visuals.

The Universal Century (UC) is the original continuity in the Gundam multiverse (yes, it's a multiverse). This is for all those people that doesn't know how to start because of the BIG amount of titles.
Sorry if there is a grammar mistake, my writing in english is not the best.

OVAs made in the 2000s and beyond that carry on the spirit of the 80s/90s OVA -- a fun, standalone story told in a short amount of time, supported by great production values.

Not really a dub watcher, just like making lists.
