All of these anime feature at least one main character that is in some way intelligent, this intelligence can come in different forms, from a war strategist to a baseball player, you'll find it here!

Additions are bound to be added later.

Miscellany for the fellow trash enjoyers + other stuff besides the usual OPMC
Nothing stops them from doing what they do

Characters here usually (but not limited to):
* Give zero damns about nobody/Do what most lack the balls to (including you know...( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))
* Will stop at no length to achieve their goals
* Are themselves (e.g. has a highly defining trait in the show/to viewers)
* Are OP (inc. charas extremely skilled in any field or all-capable), or have plot armor to the point it's silly

Gradually shuffling out harem & OPMCs in favour of variety/lesser known shows (There's another stack right there --> if you want that generic stuff)

Anime that involve a mature, smart and/or chill protagonist who knows what they're doing.

Anime with a loner protagonist. Well, at least at the start since introducing new characters is unavoidable. I'm only including the ones where the solitary mindset has been somewhat emphasised.

The following anime have main characters who act weak but are in fact truly overpowered.

Series with no filler, but some series may have mixed filler in one or two episodes, but you probably won’t even notice.

Anime where the main character is particularly intelligent compared to the other characters and their cleverness and strategy plays a large role in the plot of the story, especially if they put their plans into action off-screen.

Anime series with the most OP Protagonists!
Most of these are Isekais or VRMMOs where the protagonist enters a new world and gains incredible powers, but the list also includes protagonists who were born powerful or became powerful in their own world.


Who do you think would win in a battle between these protagonists?

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

These are some pretty good psychological anime series and movies.. Some are new and some are a little older. Enjoy!

Anime with characters who consistently show actually autistic traits - stimming, obsession with very specific things and themes, social phobia, unwillingness to change routines, monotone or stereotyped speaking, strict habits, lack of interest in personal exchanges, difficulty building/maintaining relationships, unusual manners and gestures, selective but very strong empathy etc.

Curated by yours truly, late-diagnosed autistic male in his 30's, eager to see more adult autistic representation.

As this list becomes more and more popular (thanks everyone! Feedback appreciated!), I'm adding a friendly reminder: Autistic people are as diverse as neurotypical people are. This list could contain every character from every anime ever made and still be accurate as autistic rep! I just add the ones who "score higher" in showing more common autistic traits.

Are you a fellow autistic person and your most relatable ASD anime fav isn't here? PM me/comment on my profile; I'll appreciate if you add a small (4-5 lines at best) profile focusing on their neuroatypical traits. Try not to add spoilers, though!

If you want to watch an anime portraying a character with a different vibe from their perspective. If they're a psychopath, murderous, not your typical "good" main character, or makes us go, "oh, that character's so wicked," even for a moment, it's on this list (one entry per series - no sequels).

If you've gotten tired or bored with the common trope of the main character trying to get stronger to save something or somebody. If you just want to take a breather and take a break without worrying about the main character for a while - although I can't guarantee it for all of them - this list is for you (one entry per series - no sequels, etc.). These are only a few of all out there and I ran out of space, so if I missed one, I'm so sorry!

My favorite shit anime that I've come to semi-unironically love. It's all trash.


To the mods: Please let me know which specific entries I need to edit if this stack doesn't fit the criteria of an article stack! Thank you in advance :]

Prime examples of what I mean when I say "Best battles + strategic fights + cool characters sorta animes" are 'World Trigger' and 'Kingdom'.
But some of the titles I've included are more prominent in one of these aspects, like 'March comes in like a lion' being more strategic heavy.
All the animes that are included are super interesting and worth the watch.

Animes whose main characters start out as loners.
