Sorairo Utility (TV)

Anime for when you just want to relax or have a laugh.

Only including first seasons to save room.

Competitive girl sports

Upcoming/unreleased anime with potential to be absolute bangers and even game changing for the medium.

Basic Criteria:
- not a sequel
- Remakes are eligible
- Spinoffs are eligible if they are loosely related enough to the original.

This will be an endlessly ever growing and changing list being updated regularly, adding in new promising releases once announced and removing ones that have already started or finished airing.

Anime with a female lead that centers around the pursuit or enjoyment of a particular hobby. Hobbies may overlap with work or careers. Usually these are CGDCT, Slice of Life, and/or Iyashikei but there are some exceptions. The main point is they have a passion for their hobby! WIP

This will be any golf with girls int them related shows or movies or OVAs related to the subject.

Some of these are not technically complete, but have a solid enough anime endings that I'm not sure it matters

Get into the Olympic spirit with these sport anime! All titles on this list feature sports that appear in the Summer or Winter Olympic Games.

Major sports leagues (football, baseball, basketball, soccer) are excluded to make the list more Olympics-focused. While hockey is also a major sports league, there is only one anime so it was kept.

I tried to put together a list of sports (or sports-style) anime featuring women's and girls' sports that don't lean overly much into fanservice/ecchi stuff. Pickings were . . . Slim.

It would be nice if manga like Crimson Hero, Aozora Yell, Girl Got Game/Power!!, and other girls' sports manga got anime.

A cool list of some Shojo and Josei sports manga: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/55928

This is technically a stack that already exists https://myanimelist.net/stacks/24263
However, that one is tiny and hasn't been updated in years, so I've taken it upon myself to make an updated version (mostly for myself).

If there are multiple seasons of the same show, I've only included the first one (for brevity).

I started anime in 2013 and this all the anime that are apparently good or better, that you might have missed as I did.
