Eden's Zero won't be returning to Netflix as it seems the sequel's rights went over to Crunchyroll, I'll update the list if the next Hathaway Flash Gundam films are slated to release on Netflix. We now know the film cast for the Scott Pilgrim film will return to its anime adaptation by Science SARU, so far, we don't know if it'll even be added to the MAL database like other IPs supposed "anime" adaptations, in quotation marks because Netflix can call it anime all it wants but some don't count.

Chi.: Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite has been releasing only in Netflix for the time being but isn't marked as an exclusive for the platform.

these are in alphabetical order, not by rating, as to show the watch order of longer series. the watch order was the most confusing part of compiling this list myself. i made this over a year ago back when i didn't know about interest stacks. i thought i'd share both this list and my thoughts now that i'm almost done watching all of these. i highly recommend using this as a binge list, it's banger after banger.

A list of anime commented/analyzed by the youtuber Bayfond. There is a playlist in his channel compiling the videos where he talks about them and the order displayed in that playlist is the one being taken into account here, I'll try to keep this list updated to his future uploads. https://www.youtube.com/@bayfond/featured (link to his channel)
He has also talked about the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off anime twice, but it isn’t in the MAL database as of the last update to this stack.

Sequels to animes that took years to release. This list is informative and is not intended to be critical of these anime.

70's - 2005 List: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/31899
2018- List: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/31902

One season per show. Shows are put in each time frame based on START DATE of their first season. If something is missing you think, it may be on the other stacks because of this rule!

This stack is for tracking all of the upcoming anime for 2024 and beyond that haven’t had a season or any media for at least 5 years. We are so back.

This stack is intended for (relatively) old cult or nostalgic anime that have received a second wind and new relevance in our time thanks to remakes, reboots, new seasons or spin-offs. For ease of reference, I will credit new inclusions in franchises with the original source, rather than the other way around.

List of shojosei anime that has Latin American Spanish dub. This third part is going to cover shojosei anime that originally aired in the 00's, 10's and 20's too.

List of animes where popular guys fall in love with unpopular girls.
