Steins;Gate

A stack of heroine with glasses in anime for those who love glasses.

These are some pretty good psychological anime series and movies.. Some are new and some are a little older. Enjoy!

Most unic anime form 2010s

This is a list of all shows that are unique or had so much suspense/action.

Anime with characters who consistently show actually autistic traits - stimming, obsession with very specific things and themes, social phobia, unwillingness to change routines, monotone or stereotyped speaking, strict habits, lack of interest in personal exchanges, difficulty building/maintaining relationships, unusual manners and gestures, selective but very strong empathy etc.

Curated by yours truly, late-diagnosed autistic male in his 30's, eager to see more adult autistic representation.

As this list becomes more and more popular (thanks everyone! Feedback appreciated!), I'm adding a friendly reminder: Autistic people are as diverse as neurotypical people are. This list could contain every character from every anime ever made and still be accurate as autistic rep! I just add the ones who "score higher" in showing more common autistic traits.

Are you a fellow autistic person and your most relatable ASD anime fav isn't here? PM me/comment on my profile; I'll appreciate if you add a small (4-5 lines at best) profile focusing on their neuroatypical traits. Try not to add spoilers, though!

Let's face it, we all have that one friend who has a prejudice against anime.

"Only kids watch anime"

"Anime aren't those smut movies on adult platforms are they?"

etc...

Feel free to show exactly that kind of friend this list and maybe you will have a new "nakama" in some weeks :-)

Hold on, I know. Some people will never get the wonderful taste of anime and this is perfectly fine. Yeah well, everyone has their own personal preference, but you should have tried it at least once.

! This stack contains series & movies for every age group and gender, so please read through the short synopsis of your choice so you don't throw in the towel after the first episode !

I hope you have fun diving into the world of anime :-)

(Feedback & suggestions for improvement are very welcome).

Anime series or movies with a fair amount of realistic scenery of modern Japanese cities (starting from the '80s) like Tokyo or any other, with a remarkable romantic or nostalgic feeling, like those depicting cities centre, schools or distant suburbs with typical residential streets during particular moments of the year or of the day, like an autumn or cherry blossom scene, or even a beautiful sunset for example, with Japanese crows and black kites in the sky making singing their beautiful call, or a typical Japanese train passing along a road or a bridge, why not with the Fujiyama in the background. Anything providing a romantic and nostalgic feeling of Japanese cities is very welcome to this Interest Stack.

Any anime which is popular not only for its story, visual art or characters but also particularly remarkable among both fans and anime critics for its unique and special soundtrack.

Just as the title says, this will be an interest stack containing anime that someone has as their favorite anime of all time. This stack will be dependent ENTIRELY off of other people telling me what their favorite anime is, so if you don’t see your favorite anime here, just go and tell me what your favorite anime is via profile comment or private message and I’ll go and add it to this stack. If your favorite anime actually is in this stack, then still please be honest about what your favorite anime is. I'll also be mentioning users in the notes of the anime they claim are their favorite anime. I’ll begin this stack by adding 5 anime I definitely know are someone’s favorite anime.

Collection of psychological anime that contain interesting themes and elements that make viewers think and inquire about the characters and the complexity of the plot.

Anime with small, close characters that make up a tightly knitted cast. A group of friends, a small town, a collection of people and their relationships. A sense of camaraderie, a diorama of humans, a fun time to feel close to fun people.

This stack contains a collection of anime that I think best falls into this category over anything else.

Denpa as a genre usually refers to Japanese artistic works with themes associated with social isolation, existentialism, insanity that stems from living modern society, and the glorification of otaku/outsider cultures. Examples of denpa in other mediums include the films of Hideaki Anno (Love and Pop, Ritual) and the films of Shunji Iwai (All About Lily Chou-Chou), as well as the visual novel Wonderful Everyday Down the Rabbit-hole.

Anime featuring dysfunctional protagonists who shut ins/NEETs look up to, in other words, anime that feature "sigma" men and women. These characters can be seen as positive role models to a certain extent, given their resistance to social norms and pressures.

Anime that seem to have researched the subject that they are handling.

for sci-fi for example, that would be how accurate the science is.
