Hakushaku to Yousei

This is a stack with anime that take place in different European countries, either completely or in several episodes when characters are traveling to these countries.

Countries included in this stack: England, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Czech Republic, Switzerland

A list with a bunch of anime shows that share similar vibes and tropes.
They all have female protagonists with something unique about them [personality, appearance, or hair(mostly)] and get different treatment because of that.
make sure to check for extra seasons, episodes, or movies.

animes set in different parts of the planet

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 is a list of anime that fall under the 'Cottagecore' aesthetic. The Cottagecore aesthetic romanticizes nature, the countryside and slow living. It consists of peaceful pastoral locations, homemade crafts, and traditional homesteading activities such as cooking, picnicking, gardening, forging, care-taking, etc.

Cottagecore is a western concept, but goes hand in hand with 'Iyashikei', which is a theme often intertwined with Slice of Life. It emphasizes slow living, and appreciates the wonder of being alive. It brings a gentle joy to the chores in every day life, and has a peaceful, serene tone. It's one of the narrative styles that make Japanese works so distinct and charming.

I'll be adding to this list as time goes on. Some of these works wont fully fit the Cottagecore aesthetic, but are close enough that they're worthy of being in the stack.

This includes Shojo, BL, Seinen, and Shounen. Although Shounen and Seinen are usually targeted at a male audience, there are some shows which I think more attract a female audience instead ^^
Also some new shojo that will be airing over the next 1-2 years. I'm so happy that there are new shoujos / female-targeted series coming out instead of just more Shounen romance 😭.

--> Link to Part 2 because the Shoujo gods have blessed us with more shows. https://myanimelist.net/stacks/32081

Animes shoujosei (and some seinen/shounen) of romance (not all), with royalty/historical/isekai themes

some underrater anime that ik ig. lmk if u watched these or if u have never heard of these b4.
no spoilers cuz why not. i wanna see ppl watching em themselves.

Anime that are set during the Victorian era (or just any time during the 19th century), or features characters that wear gothic/historical inspired fashion.

So in 2023, I decided to challenge myself to watch all the anime based on otome games or with a game adaptation even if that isn't a good anime in the end.
I will try to play all the games even if they are just available in Japanese.
I want to share this publicly because I found that aren't that many stacks with this kind of theme and as an otome lover I need to do my job here (my English is trash sorry)

ps.: I will do the same for manga because normally manga is superior
