Jarinko Chie

Collection of films and OVAs (and one TV series) that "feel" like Ghibli films, but aren't related to the studio and aren't connected to its canon lineup. Factors considered include story beats and character designs that are often seen in Ghibli works as well as works by Ghibli staff completed for other studios.

Anime that are heavily overlooked on MAL (at the time of writing, under 20k members). Most, if not all of them are also underrated. Will likely add stuff in the future as I watch them.

Anime Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki had a major role working on prior to Studio Ghibli's foundation in 1985. Collected in chronological order.

Collection of series that feature Enka songs or songs from prominent Enka singers as theme songs or as part of the series.

Complete list of works where Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata had some form of involvement prior to founding Studio Ghibli.

This is a companion to the Studio Ghibli list which can be found here:

Anime I feel would greatly appeal to fans of Ojamajo Doremi, both old and new. If you're someone already loves Doremi, there's a very strong chance you'll love at least one of these too!

Most what is listed shares key staff with Doremi or otherwise has a similar tone or aesthetic.

Every cinema or direct to video anime film that came out in 1981.

List of anime that contributed to the bishoujo boom (commonly referred to as the lolicon boom) of the late 70s and early 80s, or were made in the wake of it.

I'll be leaving off porn OVAs like Cream Lemon and Lolita Anime as to not restrict this list's visibility, but please do keep in mind the importance of these titles as well.

A list consisting of anime that convey a sense or feeling of what childhood is or could be. It's supposed to be somewhat of a childhood/nostalgia archive in it's entirety.

Note: The list is about childhood, not anime we watched when we were children. It does not necessarily contain your typical Miyazaki/Ghibli movies nor is it child-friendly by every means.
