Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan

Toonami was a block in Cartoon Network Latin America created in 2002 mostly dedicated to anime, which served as the main hub of the medium in LatAm TV until its cancellation in 2007. After the block's death, anime slowly became a rarity in Cartoon Network Latin America, slowly disappear from LatAm airwaves until becoming all but extinct, with very few airing across the 2010s.

Toonami was revived in 2020 with Crunchyroll's support to air more anime in the channel, but the block would eventually die again in 2022 after Sony bought the streamer, ending its deal with Cartoon Network. Wanner Channel's Wanime block was born as a spiritual successor shortly afterwards.

That second death was not to last, as the new channel Adult Swim announced they would bring back Toonami as part of its schedule, with the Wanime block coexisting alongside it rather than overriding it.

Note: For obvious reasons, all Western series aired in the block, such as Justice League, won't be included in this stack.

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

A few older anime that I recommend watching because they can match current biggest titles and rarely heard of now

Animax Latin America was the affiliate for that region of the youth channel of Sony Entertainment Television. The signal for Latin America was launched on July 31, 2005, replacing the adult animation channel Locomotion. Like the other subsidiaries around the world where it is available, it broadcast anime series, and since May 2008 it began with the broadcast of live action series and movies distributed by Sony Pictures.

On May 3, 2010, the channel is renewed by premiering a new logo and graphics. Since May 1, 2011, it was renamed Sony Spin, disappearing as a television channel.

Personally, a channel that brings back beautiful memories of my childhood and that, several series broadcast by Animax, give me a nostalgic feeling for an anime that currently no longer exists.

Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/22234

In this case, I will present anime, which have been renewed with derivative variations as the generations have passed, this is normally done when the franchise is very successful and therefore, it is desired that today's children continue to like it.

WARNING:This stack uses the occasional anime that has not yet been released, however, the intention of the list is only to inform, guide and entertain, without any profit objective, thank you.

This is the third part of a collection of articles where I aim to explore the evolution of anime related music. This part of the list attempts to collect a list of most iconic performances on the "Idol Age" of anime music.

The term "Idol Age" used in this list refers to a phase after the "New Age" phase. During this phase there started being more "idol songs" that that essentially were "tied" to the product itself utilising "a culmination point" relating the performance into a singular entity also known as "idol". This was an interesting approach for many as it opened a new model on how to sell these products to the market.

The theme songs essentially dropped essentially all connections to the series demonstrated by their lyrics, the emotion invoked by the song and the spirit related to the series. Essentially the song and the performance are presented as a related product to the entity that serves as the culmination point relating to these products also known as "idol".

I will write my thoughts on each of the entries on this list to further explain why I think the series and the theme songs included as a combined package have attained "iconic" status when it comes to the scene of "Idol Age" anime music in contrast to the "Anime Songs" and the "New Age". I will also give a score related on how well "the culmination" and the "product" perform parallel to each other while establishing the "idol" itself as a product. The series are ordered based on that score.

The term "iconic" in this list is defined by the popularity and how deeply established the culmination and the elements of the performance relating to the idea of "idol" being established as a product are in addition of them being supposedly intertwined with the series as a whole experience.

List of anime that aired in Peru. This fourth part is going to cover anime that originally aired in the 90's. The stack is going to be updated if some title is missing or hasn't been aired in Peru.

Many are familiar with Akemi Takada's '80s-defining character designs for the adaptations of Rumiko Takahashi's manga (whom I have also covered in an interest stack dedicated to her), but there is another person that is credited for translating Takahashi's characters within the wider anime (and promotional material) context. Atsuko Nakajima is a prominent animator, animation director, and character designer whose name emerged during Studio DEEN's prime years in the late '80s up until the early '00s, serving one or two of the roles above across its multitude of productions.

There is an interesting progression in Nakajima's design output. While she already had a certain tendency for hair complexity in her designs (see the nuances of Ranma 1/2; it stands out to me how there's a lot more to Kasumi's hair than how it looks), the advent of the 2000s and the rise of digital animation saw her trying out more extravagant and detailed appearances. Sharp faces complement the hair which brings forth a stronger emphasis on individual hair strands which have a notable sheen, such as her work in Taiho Shichau Zo and her animation direction work on Rurouni Kenshin.

As the title suggests, though, the standout element of Nakajima's character designs are the detail and expressiveness of her eyes. Evolving past the Takada-and-Takahashi-fused characters of Ranma 1/2, Nakajima maintained the glass-like look of her characters' eyes, which can be seen even with characters of a serious nature (i.e. having slanted or thin eyes like in Hakuoki). There's a doll-like element to her design philosophy that reflects or at least bears resemblance to the flashy and hyper-stylized bishounen and bishoujo aesthetic of shoujo manga.

Frankly, finding similarities in Nakajima's style is a bit harder to pin down, since she seems to be more flexible with adapting to the original manga artist's style. If there's a way to encompass her overall style, it would be the aforementioned doll-like attributes of her characters, the sharp lines that accentuate their presence in the frames, and a subtle luster that gives off the impression of an aura amplifying their importance.

Imagine you've just watched "Harakiri", or perhaps "Yojimbo", and now you're thinking to yourself: "I wonder how Samurai Cinema would translate into anime" - Next you're scrolling the anime database, and you've searched for anime with the theme "Samurai", only to be met with entries containing people spitting fireballs, and giant robots shooting lasers.

If this is something you've experienced, then this interest stack is for you. I've scoured every entry (as of October 2023) listed under the theme "Samurai", as well as tried to find others not listed there, to fit the following more narrow definition:

"Swordfighting anime set in historical Japan with a realistic setting."

Some anachronism is okay, but futurism like mechas and RPG launchers are excluded. Trying to keep supernatural elements at a minimal. Allowed to a certain extent, but trying to avoid full on superpowers. This list contains no sequels, one entry per franchise only.

Anime might be excluded for other reasons, such as not adhering enough to the style. Also skipping a lot of <~10 minute shorts. Some (most) of the anime I haven't yet seen, so there's a possibility an anime that should've been excluded has slipped by into the list.

PS. "Lone Wolf and Cub" + "Vagabond" anime when??

Anime about historical Japan

Yes that series has a game/ is a game. As I collect anime games I want to help people find games for series they enjoy. No this is not related to mobile games, maybe I’ll do a stack for those in the future though🤔 These are tied to Console and PC systems, I won’t list specifics though but searching “[insert series] game” will help you find it. There will be multiple parts coming out!

They really don't get talked about enough. This also might be an attempt to revive dead fandoms.

the 50 TV anime from before 2000 with the highest average score on MAL.

I've tried to keep it to one season/entry per show, and excluded series that finished airing after the end of 2000.

Feel free to let me know of anyone else!
