This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

Hoping to focus on real couples and avoid harems ❤

Anime that focuses on slice of life with some supernatural elements

Anime adaptations of various visual novels. Their total number is clearly more than the allowable limit, so I tried to add mainly adaptations of novels by well-known brands (Key, 5pb, Aquaplus), or those with well-known adaptations. Given the many sequels, spin-offs, and versions (especially in the case of the Fate series), I added only very first anime in the franchise.

Tired of watching a show about a single pair of main characters? Don't worry, because this is the collection of harem animes that you might enjoy. Beautiful girls frolicking around a single male main character. They say, the more girls in the show, the merrier of pure enjoyment.

These are best wholesome emotional of heartwarming anime that can make u feel sad even cry. Try it out n prove it by urself. the following are features that u can get it in :
1. Unexpected plot twist
2. Unique Character
3. Sad, tragic, sorrow, bittersweet, even depressed from background story
4. Great Soundtrack from OP, ED, even Insert Song
5. Can change ur view about life which become better than before

Anime about poor people, including both comedy and satire, as well as drama or melodrama. Shows where this topic is one of the subplots are also included. The plot of such shows usually either sympathetically depicts the problems that a poor person may face, or show the peculiarities of the thinking of such people, or how they try to deceive others by pretending to be rich.

P.S. Thanks eblf2013 for helping making this stack.

animes with protagonists with some type of disability (physical or mental)

I created this interest stack to show you some of the gems that are hidden here, it's not always easy to find these animes or get a recommendation to watch some of them, I hope you like them as much as I do, thank you for those who read this far and good anime.

One short anime from each year of 21st century.

So this stack is not intended to offend anyone, it's a list made from my observations in the community about some works that maybe at some point were popular or had their moments of fame but nowadays very few people talk about.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/31737

Animes where the protagonist has some type of disability, illness or mental problems.

NOT an exhaustive list. 50 TV anime adapting visual novels/ eroge with a male protagonist, usually with romance or a harem. Went for a generic sample, excluded series too exceptional/ distinct (Higurashi, Fate/Stay Night, ef: A Tale of Memories., etc.). 5k members minimum.
