Yuukoku no Moriarty

This is not include animes that has inspired by classic lit or mentions it, mainly this is on anime that adapts or loosely adapts on classic lit. (Note: I'll try and update as much as I can and add some obscure ones!)

The anime stack of mostly all-male casts which is original or adapted from mangas/novels. No romance anime here (yes there are some who fell in love but romance isn't the main plot). I won't include the sequels because the stack is limited to 50 so you gotta find them out by yourself.

Part 1 (idols, games, multimedia projects): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/2078
Also check out pretty boys doing sports: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/2079

Genius main characters that get your brain juices going with a great plop to envelop the great character(s).

Added with a bit of badassery.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/36936

Shounen anime featuring protagonists that are not nice or kind - characters that don't prioritize the traditional motivations of shounen protagonists such as empathy, kindness, justice, friendship, etc.

Some on this list were recommended by others.

Anime based on classic literature that is popular in Western culture.

They may be not enterly evil, but still their morality is a little bit different than that of average pearson

Royal family members, aristocrats and children from really rich and influential families

List of animes that are easy to understand without any complex plot and can hook you up in just first few episodes.

List of anime whose vibes I enjoyed.

This stack is for people who love the Bishounen/Ikemen art style and/or characters.

Only includes anime i have personally watched and only the first season of them.

Not all of them are quality anime or good, my score reflects my thoughts about the anime but you're opinion may very well differ so don't let than stop you from watching the anime if it sounds interesting to you!

This stack is an ultimate starter pack if you are looking for anime with genius protagonists or characters with considerably high IQ. If mind games and intelligent moments are your go-to interests, this is the perfect stack for you.

For anime with sequels, only the first seasons of each have been included in the stack. The genres include (but are not limited to) psychological, mystery, isekai, sports, and romance/drama.

Long-running shounen anime have not been included in the list, except Detective Conan (in case you are looking for Bleach or Fullmetal Alchemist - yes, this is according to Aizen's plan too).

Part 2 of the series is in progress. Watch this space for updates ;)

Anime set in aforementioned time periods. Some of them are technically not historical but have the vibes.
Only from what I have already watched, so sorry for a small number.
(Possibly mild spoilers)

1. short binge-able shows.
2. gripping stories or entertaining through out the whole time.
3. short so won't take long to finish.
