We mostly watch Anime for enjoyment, but what if I told you there are Anime that entertain you AND you also learn something useful? This list features Anime that are entertaining but also teach you stuff that you could actually make use of in your life. From food to workouts and science, you will learn something!

Watch anime, learn things

These are all shows under the seinen demographic! There are various different genres like action, fantasy, mystery, thriller, romance so don’t be surprised when you find a show you thought could be a Shoujo, shounen, or Josei in here. These are all shows I found interesting and so I hope for find something you like in here! (Working on explanations!)

While the vast majority of animated works are those of fiction, there are occasionally those that provide legitimate information about the real world, be it that of science or history. This is informative fiction, colloquially known as Edutainment, since it seeks to both educate and entertain.

A typical format often involves characters from an outer frame of reference discovering the topic of interest, though others may involve direct dramatised portrayals of relevant events.

This list is an ongoing collection of shows that can be categorised as such. The only real barrier for entry here is to have the topic that is to be taught as a primary focus of the show, rather than incidental to an otherwise wholly fictional plot.

Just trust me and pick one which peaks your interest the most. You won't regret it.

This list is targeted to people who have little time to spend on watching anime but they already have watched the popular ones. Anime in this list have occult following but they are not well-known in the public. Hope you'll be joining these occult followings by enjoying some of the following anime.
Also, this list is a challenge of shorts so that you won't stop watching just from the first episode and be able to have a better understanding of the anime you are watching.
This list includes anime from various genres so that people, who have a particular interest in certain genres and not others, can find something to spend their time. Enjoy life and enjoy anime!
*Fingers crossed that the mods of the site don't bully me again by putting this list as unlisted again. If they do, i hope you did find something amazing to watch from this list!
