Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom

These 10 anime that include complex, dark and weird stories will make you feel like an elitist and an edgelord

shows with a lot of personality and shows that will suck you into the story

Similar Early to Mid 2000s Visual Aesthetic / Vibe

This is a list of anime from the late 90's and 2000's that have a certain charm or vibe to them that I really love. I'm sure a lot of you also enjoy this sort of vibe, so hopefully this can help you find series that invoke something else you love. Enjoy!

title says it all

wide range of anime from the 90s to the mid 2000s that deal with themes of paranoia, technology, and violence. presenting that turn of the century dread.

HELL YEAH (incomplete list)

Anime with male leads only.

I usually prefer characters who aren't ultimate cucks around women, so some anime featuring cuck MC's are present in the list, but the cuck level is low/bearable enough or the rest of the anime is entertaining enough to sit through MC's cucky shenanigans (cuckanigans?).. viewer discretion is advised.


PS: Only first season will be listed. If anime has more seasons, watch or skip based on experience. Not sure why other stacks list all seasons of same anime in a list.

Animes where they wield guns

If you're a teenager and you're trying to take the leap into more adult anime after being tired of all that Shonen bs then you've come to the right place! Now man up and watch all this depraved shit. Read Berserk after you're done with the show.

Here's a list of some anime which I found tossed a decent array of feels at the viewer/s. I tried my best to leave out most of the more obvious/well known titles out there, such as Anohana for example, with some exceptions. I mean, some titles are just too good to not include in a list. Also, that's not to say I don't like Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, but rather it is one of the better ones that I wanted to use as a more popular exception. I'll try to remember to continue to add to the list as well.
Enjoy!

Pessimistic worldviews. For when you want to wallow in despair.
It doesn't matter if we all die.

DISCLAIMERS: If a show/movie has sequels then I'll just add the first entry. Sad endings aren't required.

Based on a letterboxd list

Skies, grass, nature, glass, 00's futurism, soft gradients, sans-serif fonts. Trends are towards Drama, Fantasy, Romance, Slice of Life, Comedy and Supernatural.

Not to be mistaken with Y2K aesthetic, of which I made a stack too https://myanimelist.net/stacks/38912

As the title says~

Remember when the word "Remake" had a good connotation? This list aims to compile remakes that had a good reception from audiences, and in some cases, a better reception.
