Interest Stacks

Shows only, no movies. Not genre-specific.

This is for the Muslim anime fans!

DISCLAIMER: I've gotten messages from people who will tell me that some of the anime I have on this list are not halal because of one thing or another. Those people clearly didn't read the description so please DO SO before you start badgering me.

YES, it's probably nigh on impossible to find a non-children's anime that's completely 100% halal (if you are going to be THAT nit-picky then you should probably just not watch anime at all), but for those of you who want to watch something at least a little more clean than usual I've done my best to compile a list of shows that can be watched without too much of a guilty conscience during Ramadan or even normal days, alone or around family members.

I'm NOT excluding shows that have characters killing or dying (gotta have SOME conflict), smoking, drinking (in moderation), cursing, using magic (OTHER than what's listed below), or romance since almost every show has a little of that (so long as no overly physical intimacy is shown, though I tried to avoid anime where romance is the main focus). What I AM excluding are more so things that would be uncomfortable for the average conscientious Muslim to watch.
Shows with a supernatural element are also included so long as they don't include what's listed below.
Shows with a focus on music or drawing are also included, but if you rather avoid those shows as well I'll mention it in their description.

The criteria for this stack is that these shows DO NOT contain:

- Unnecessary nudity or ecchi scenes
- Dick jokes, boob jokes, masturbation jokes or jokes based on characters feeling aroused
- Sexual innuendo or content
- Incest or overly intimate behavior between siblings
- Gods, demons, angels, or other theological entities
- Settings of heaven, hell, or the afterlife
- Reincarnations, reanimation, necromancy, or creation of life
- Ghosts or spirits
- Traps or reverse traps (i.e. boys dressed as girls, or girls dressed as boys)
- Romance, crushes or overly intimate scenes between characters of the same sex
- Gender-ambiguous characters (like Crona from Soul Eater or Osana from Komi-san Can't Communicate)
- Characters that change genders
- Characters that claim to be a gender they're not
- Intense kissing scenes
- Characters dressed in exaggeratedly skimpy or skin-tight outfits

I actually found more than I thought I would, haha. Of course it's been awhile since I've watched some of these so my memory is a little fuzzy on details; some of the shows listed MIGHT have one of the no-no's I listed above. If so please do let me know.* Also do read the synopsis of any anime you're planning to watch to get a better idea on what it's about, and what features in it.

*NOTE: Again, just the ones I listed above! Do not bother me if you're going to tell me this show has magic or that show has boys and girls touching. YES, I know those things are haram in real life, but be reasonable; these are shows created by non-Muslims ABOUT non-Muslims FOR non-Muslims, so you can't expect to find anything that obeys Sharia law here! If you're worried because an anime has young women not wearing hijab then again, maybe just don't watch anime. This is for those Muslim anime fans who would just like a good story or wholesome entertainment without all the sexual and atheistic nonsense that the modern non-Muslim audience doesn't have a problem with.

Isekai as a genre has become so ridiculously saturated that in order for your light novel to be memorable, you cannot simply have someone be sent to another world and defeat the demon lord. Nowadays, there has to be a catch. Isekai, but...

Anything specific enough that has become isekai subgenre (I.E "I was reborn as the villainess" or "I have cheat-like abilities" not included unless it's a twist on that subgenre)

My favorite slice of life shows. There's an overlap with romance/romcom anime but I chose shows that don't have romance as their main focus. See also my recommended romance anime list: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/23722

this list of anime of smartass main character who are arrogant or sometimes are a bit of quiet and humble but they are always thinking ways to outsmart his opponents with clever ideas.

ok

Im building up this list... open to recommendations xD so feel free to share some others ideas or if you are enthusiastic just name that anime that you want to nominate...

Rudeus greyrat is a mastermind... a leader from young age we can whats he is thinking the dude is smart.

this list currently on the work... some are from my memory so Im ordering my ideas some of it is because the anime let us know the thinking process or we can see the cleverness of the character.

Naofumi is a strategist and smart dude but was also naive.

anyways this list if you are looking for smartass dude stories.. here goes the list if I fail or some are not considered very smart let me know... some of the animes I saw it a long time ago so if my memories did fail... then I will make the correction

Shows that have elements of soft science within them, such as archaeology, economics, linguistics, psychology, and political science.

The Humanities are also included in order to flesh-out this list a bit more. Plus, there is a lot of topical/thematic overlap between these two terms.

The humanities encompass academic disciplines that study human culture, expression, and experiences. Rather than focusing on natural or social phenomena in a quantifiable way, the humanities explore aspects of human life that relate to art, language, history, and philosophy.

Further details and insights into themes and topics are forgone to prevent spoiling. You'll have to figure out the finer nuances for yourself.

I'm just going to add the first season of series to this stack. Not all are "good" by any means but they scratch that part of my brain so maybe they will for you too. If you have suggestions DM me I'm planning on updating this as I watch new series!

If you are new to Anime. This should help you.

In my opinion, these titles will help you to become part of the anime community. Start in the beginning, you will see, as many veterans watchers would say, some of here are “children shows” where you think as that they will become the best of the best for the future of the people as they progress. And later to the end of the stack, where it will start to feel different where you’re sitting at saying. “This is getting too realistic”. We all will know this feeling when we starting to outgrew ourselves to become what we are. And we developed as we watch things through.

Watch these In order to make sure you are feel welcome to the Anime community.

Anime that portray characters heavily influenced by words. This could be anything from a librarian, a writer, editor, etc.

As well as characters who have troubles with speech, writing, or using words to express themselves properly.

Some anime listed may be included because the book / words themselves take on a life of their own.

Basically anything related to the subject will be included.

Please feel free to contact me if there are any more anime that need to be added. Thanks!

~~~Honorable Mention~~~
- Junjou Romantica, novelist
- Tokyo Ghoul, avid reader
- Mysteria Friends, magical books
- Gosick, Library
- Shadows House , notes and diaries
