Kamichu!

This stack is a collection of anime with gods, goddesses, and/or deities. They can be based on existing beings from different legends and mythologies, or ones that only exist in the anime.

A stack of heroine with glasses in anime for those who love glasses.

Would the world have been a better place if religion doesn't exist? What right does religion have to decide what's good and bad? Are they really the guide to life?

Anime either based on, heavily influenced by or drawing key aspects from folklore. Folklore encompasses the traditional beliefs, customs, and stories of a community, people or culture passed down through the generations by word of mouth and later often recorded in written form.

While the majority of works listed in this club have their origins in East Asian folklore (for obvious reasons) also included are examples of folklore ranging from portrayals of the mythology of Ancient Greece, stories featuring local spirits, legendary folk heroes, adaptions of Brothers Grimm fairy tales and narratives featuring the Gods of the Norse pantheon as characters. Modernised interpretations and retellings have been largely excluded.

As MAL currently sadly only allows a max of 50 entries on interests stacks this list prioritises the stand out and most high quality examples of folkloric anime. For a more comprehensive list which also includes manga, I direct you to my accompanying folklore club of the same name.

1. Cast is all-girl
2. Not in the romance genre*
3. Only Slice of life shows[so no action/battle shows].


Split up in multiple parts due to number of entries.

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

Miko (sometimes translated as shrine maidens or Shinto priestesses) characters across various anime.

Shows from different genres, all featuring a female protagonist and/or a mostly female cast doing their thing.

My focus is variety as well as shining a light on shows that have felt overshadowed in recent years. The more mainstream and most highly praised shows are at the forefront, with some more obscure picks towards the end.

Most of the shows featured are TV and some are movies, I do not discriminate by format. Also not all of these might be for everyone, but I hope at least one thing here will be worth your time.

Anime that has been mentioned/recommended by Tatsuki Fujimoto (Chainsaw Man, Fire Punch).

The Japanese word "iyashi" (癒し) means healing, and the term "iyashikei" refers to anime and manga that "heal" the audience by instilling a calming feeling or evoking emotional carthasis. Almost always, Iyashikei stories have peaceful, somewhat mundane, and nostalgic atmospheres. The settings are idyllic with little or no conflict, and the narratives focus on personal reflection, heartwarming moments, a vague sense of melancholy, and/or an appreciation for the small things in life.
