Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai

This is a stack of Music-related anime featuring some of the best and most spectacular stage effects.
With the capability to project images and scenery on stage or temporarily alter the state of reality to give a fantastic performance.

What the title says, any anime which has over 1,000 fanfics on AO3. (Note: anime with 10,000+ fics are on their own list, so if you see anything that’s super popular that's missing, that’s why) And since the tagging system on AO3 is a bit inconsistent I made a few choices:
For anime with separate tag categories for the manga and anime adaptation, I only took the fic number for the anime entry, I did not add them together. For anime and manga which have already been lumped together under one tag I used that number.

For anime with reboots where the reboot and the original got lumped together I chose the version with the most members on myanimelist to represent it (like Fruits Basket)

For franchises which have all been lumped under one tag, I chose the earliest tv series installment of the series to represent it. (for example Gundam, or Lupin III). But if an individual installment of that franchise tagged separately also reached 1,000 fics by itself it also got included. (like Gundam Wing)
Exceptions to this rule are the Fate franchise and Yugioh, because I don’t want to make another list just to squeeze those in lmao. Here are the individual installments of those which have all reached 1,000:
Fate/Grand Order
Fate/Zero
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS
Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal
Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V

And if you notice that I’ve missed anything feel free to let me know

As of Feb 13, 2023. Excludes MVs.

June 24, 23: Nijigasaki movie, 3 parts

Sequels aren't included.

CGDCT = Cute Girls Doing Cute Things
This subgenre focuses mostly on cute characters and mundane, slice-of-life situations.
They contain a female cast doing cute things in their daily lives. But with this stack, there are some shows that elevate the subgenre.

Unironically the best shows for "cute girls doing cute things", IN CUTE WAYS!!
It's a win-win for everyone. (I am not including sequels. Though with some of these series, the sequels are better imho)

Anime where the vast majority of the cast have natural hair colours (brown, black, blonde, ginger, etc.), but one of them was just born with brightly coloured hair (bonus points if there’s no explanation and nobody ever questions it).

This stack is intended for a show that premiered and peaked in popularity during the so-called Generation Z, and was also largely intended for this audience (people born between 1997 and 2012). Accordingly, the list also includes updated versions of classic franchises for modern audiences.

If I missed anything, including among the upcoming hyped adaptations, feel free to PM me about it.

The most prominent signs or clichés of anime for the zoomer audience:

* Return to the topic of confrontation between adolescents and adults who do not understand them and the conflict of individualism against collectivism in general.
* More progressive content, expanded focus on feminism, environmentalism, LGBTQ friendliness and awareness of many other social topics, etc.
* More female (especially in previously more or less male franchises) or unusual development of male protagonists, expansion of the role and writing of female characters in general.
* Increased attention to the realities of modern life like gadgets, social networks (Internet) and modern pop culture in general.
* More focus on psychology and personal experiences, including the suffering of the characters than on pure action and fanservice.
* More adaptations of non-standard sources or topics like Korean manhwa or Chinese games.

P.S. The list is constantly updated depending on the emergence of new significant anime or the loss of relevance of old ones.

some of the cutest animes i could find

**not specifically CGDCT**

You may be wondering, what is "autistic-coded?" is it the same as head canons, what is it? Well, no, autistic-coded is a term to refer to a character in media who, intentionally or not, is written in a way that can be deemed as them having autism. Most autistic-coded characters have multiple autistic traits. If these characters were a real person, they'd probably be diagnosed with ASD.

Most autistic people look to autistic-coded characters instead of canonical characters for representation. Why? autistic rep is not only extremely rare in media, its also most of the time not done correctly.

In this stack I will be adding characters who I deem to possibly be autistic-coded, some people may disagree but that's ok! I respect their opinions.

note this stack is a work in progress as I plan to give reasons why i believe these characters are autistic-coded

Anime that for one reason or another features heavy yuri-bait type scenes.

If you'd like to know about the inverse Non-Yaoi Yaoi anime please check: Any shounen. Pretty much all of them.
