Mimi wo Sumaseba

Critics & Connoisseurs was a club that was founded in 2008 and ended club activities on the 31st of 2022.

The goal of the club was to come up with a list of highly recommended quality shows that are exemplary either within its genre or universally. An anime needed a 70% approval rate in our voting to get on the relation list. The following anime are all part of said list.

Some romance anime that I've watched!!

Classic 20th-century series and films that most old-school otaku have heard of and many older fans will cite as the reason they became a life-long weeb in the first place. Some have gotten sequels or modern reboots, while others have been relegated to the past and stand alone as fondly-remembered products of their time. If you want to take a journey through anime history, these shows are the place to start!

Additional info as requested by MAL staff:

Definition of classic: "A work of art of recognized and established value."

Criteria for this list: Were popular or well-known at some point during the 20th century, or were based on well-known source material of the time.

when exams are over and you wanna enjoy the summer

I have compiled the animes that have achieved a certain quality with their story and animation and are loved by the majority, with my own short titles. If you don't have much time and are looking for an anime movie, you can check this list.

(It mostly includes romance anime.)

Titles in which the characters are piloting flying devices (planes, brooms, etc) within the atmosphere. The characters being pilots is relevant to the plot, and during a big part of screen time there is action in the air.

Added one title per franchise.

Some romance movies that I've watched...

Some romantic anime which may have an unexpected or emotional scene to it that may make you want to cry or feel empty inside. Keep in mind some of these entries only have a little romantic subtext. This list includes no side stories.

i accept other sugestions in the comments <3
(if you disagree, please also tell me here why)

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.

Summer means joy, sea, beach, swimming, sports, bright colors and of course friends!

ey don't cry bro, we are the same...
come I'll give you a hug



...i wanted to add more animes but we can't add more than 50 entries 💀

Here's a list of actual comfort anime, that I have watched and can vouch for. These are shows you can fall asleep to, or watch after/during a mental breakdown. Peace and love on planet earth <3

The shows I picked have, in various ways, changed and shaped the person I am. Some I look back and realize I needed to see it in that time, but I don't feel that way anymore. Some just have very important and memorable moments that I refer back to often.


Interest stack for those who grew up on the internet, in particular to ways the internet has changed them.
