Still a WIP list, some anime (NGE, Texhnolyze, Akira, Perfect Blue) follow the criteria more than others (Nana, Gurren Lagann)

Please DM me or leave comments on my profile for what I should add!

1 entry per franchise.

Slice of life anime has been quite influential on many different genres. Here are a few of the many non-slice of life anime with a similar feel to slice of life.

basically anime with lots of great female characters in them

These anime have no time to lose and try to cram the most they can in the least amount of time possible, maybe forgetting one detail or two among the way. Blink and you miss it. Secondary effects might include: Feeling like you watched more chapters than you actually watched.

As with the slow paced stack, some of these are tagged as such in AniDB, some others are from my experience watching them.

I am only adding the first season/entry of each franchise, unless a particular entry is fast paced like Fairy Tail's final part

For people scared of speed here is the slow version https://myanimelist.net/stacks/33443

An assorted stack of anime series involving main/supporting characters who are teachers or mentors.

For anime with sequels, only the first seasons of each have been included in the stack. The genres include (but are not limited to) Comedy, Action, Slice-of-life, Drama, Sports, and Romance.

Animes with fake McDonald's brand names.

Whether it's great OSTs, OPs, or EDs, These anime have memorable and amazing sound tracks!

Anime that you can watch without having to worry about paying too much attention. Mostly slice of life/episodic anime.

I obviously haven't watched every single 'non-complex' anime, and some entries are from what I've heard of from the anime, so if you think there's something that should be added here or something should be removed, message me.

Tired of the Slice of Life genre being filled to the brim with these boring ass moe girl shows that don't DARE to go above and beyond with their comedy? Here's a list "curated" (thrown together haphazardly) by me of some goofy ass stuff that will make you laugh if you have the same wack ass sense of humour that I do.

Will continuously update as I find more that fits the "genre". Note that this doesn't encompass all slapstick and/or situational comedy, just stuff that has characters with half a brain. In a funny way.

HELL YEAH (incomplete list)

Shows or movies that have had their scores INCREASE over time, despite the opposite being the norm.

use the way back machine if you want to confirm it.

This is obviously a hard thing to know without checking, so my knowledge on what anime would be here is very limited. so if you know of more stuff, please do tell.

Oh and note that I will only be adding shows that are rated by at least 5k users. Why? Because MAL's score system is weird and lessens the score value of less popular shows.

Which goes for every show, but for super unpopular ones the effect is HUGE. so most of the time, their score rise is purely because more people watched the anime, and not because it aged well. Which is why It wouldn't make sense to put them in this stack.

A collection of Cheerful, Lively, and Bright feeling anime. Anime that feel optimistic, and have a certain pleasant feel to them.

Main-main MC unless there are 2 or more who equally share the spotlight. Will not add (yet) those I'm not certain of

Anime that have "me and the boys" vibe, despite having predominantly girl cast.
