The Tokyo Anime Awards started in 2002, but was named in 2005. The first, second and third award ceremonies were simply named 'Competition'. The award ceremonies were held at the Tokyo International Anime Fair (TAF) until 2013. In 2014, after the merger of the Tokyo International Anime Fair with the Anime Contents Expo and the formation of the AnimeJapan convention, the Tokyo Anime Awards was changed into a separate festival called Tokyo Anime Awards Festival (TAAF).

Since 2014, Tokyo Anime Award Festival has given an Anime of the Year Grand Prize in two categories, Film and Television.

Anime with Trap Characters!
No reverse traps.

These anime have bizarrely unique, wildly niche, or oddly specific concepts. From sentient clothes, to vampires in space, to undead idols, some of these anime may leave you wondering, "who even came up with this idea?..."

anime that have solid female friendship, some aren't part of main theme of the show, but wholesome nonetheless

List of anime featuring at least one LGBT+ character that aren't BL or GL. I try to only put those that are either confirmed canon (in story or by the author) or so explicitly implied that there's little to none other interpretation.

-------------------------------------

>>> SOME NOTES:

- Not all of these are "perfect" representations. Some more controversial portrayals have a warning in the comments.

- (Recent update) Edited the list so that characters who's sexuality is more "up for debate" are now written down as MLM/WLW instead of the mouthful Gay/Bi/Pan (which I'd forget to write in some places anyway)

- All nonbinary people are transgender. If a character is described as nonbinary instead of trans it's just to specify that that's what the anime more heavily points at.

- For the "not BL/GL" rule I went with whatever the anime is tagged as on MAL (though some of these I believe should've been tagged when they're not...). List might change as MAL keeps editing stuff.

-------------------------------------

Please note that some of these I either haven't seen at all (look at the ratings to tell which ones they are) or watched long ago and don't remember well, so don't expect this to be 100% accurate.

This is a list of shows where 'Monster Girls' & Animal Girls play a central part to the story.


> All 'Monster Girls' display physical characteristics which separate them from normal humans.
> There are no one-off episodes are included.
> No demons, vampires or angels, because of the sheer quantity of them.

Some of these shows focus on wholesome yuri romance while others are just girls being gay.

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.

Wacky and Trippy Anime

cool, comfy, and funny shows to watch while high.

Kansai-ben, Touhoku-ben, Hokkaido-ben, ... Japan is rich with their dialects, accents and expressions. I find certain charms to these and will try to maintain this stack adding animes involving some of these dialects.
It might take me some time to gather series and regions but I will try my best.
If you have suggestions, my comments are opens |ω･)ﾉ
(will try to take time to inform where's the dialect are from)

Have a big cast of recurring lovable characters. Really engaging to watch. Just really fun.

For anyone who is looking for anime that is full of girls and also fun to watch then this is for you guys. :)

Each of the following are one of the most popular anime set in or heavily inspired by an associated Japanese prefecture. They are ordered from Hokkaido to Okinawa (roughly north to south).

"Idol" as an anime genre is closely related to the CGDCT genre as well as bishounen anime, although this list only focuses on female idols. There are many different ways of making an idol anime and they can lead to varying results. Some idol anime like to offer you a lot of cute girls without having any ability to properly show you who they are, like Tokyo 7th Sisters, some prefer to focus on a smaller cast while might not deliver the proper idol experience you might expect, but have deeper characters as a result. A large portion rely on 3DCGI for the dance sequences, which make hand animated dances a treat. I've selected a couple shows from the genre that I personally think did the best job all around.
