Not Everyone's Cup of Tea
Anime
Growing up, I've never been a fan of mainstream animes. I would often explore genres to find animes that would make me say "This is literally for me". I have yet to come to a conclusion to which genres or tropes are specifically for me. But on a greater scale slice of life would have to be the one. This stack is the culmination of shows those have stirred me to my core. I have suggested many of these to various people and received mixed reviews. I'm not capable of putting what kind of anime preference mine is into words. If there's someone out there with similar taste to mine, hope they'll feel the pleasure of watching these shows as I did when I watched them. ^-^
MOST COMMON THEMES AMONG THESE ANIMES:
⚫ Iyashikei
⚫ School
⚫ CGDCT
⚫ Family
⚫ Countryside
*Please note that for animes with multiple seasons, I've only added the first one*
Also there's many entry from KyoAni here, so I guess KyoAni is 'my type of studio' hehe.

This was my first (proper) anime. Maybe why I like it is purely because of nostalgia. But hey, give it a try.
