Death Note

All of these anime feature at least one main character that is in some way intelligent, this intelligence can come in different forms, from a war strategist to a baseball player, you'll find it here!

Additions are bound to be added later.

Anime that involve a mature, smart and/or chill protagonist who knows what they're doing.

Amazing, uplifting and inspiring music! These scores provide heavy immersion and are great for reading to as well!

Enjoy ;)

Perhaps its Voice Acting quality, Animation, additional OST or Direction, these series are on-par or go above and beyond at elevating the manga's content.

Adult Swim (stylized as [adult swim] or abbreviated as [as]) is an American timeshare cable television network bundled with Cartoon Network. The programs featured on Adult Swim are geared toward teens and young adults. Broadcast since 2001, much of the network's general content is known for its risqué, unorthodox and often bizarre presentation, while many of the series' features are developed in stark contrast with traditional American television programs. The block features stylistically varied animated and live-action shows including original programming, syndicated shows and Japanese anime, generally with minimal or no editing for content.

Note: This Interest Stack is still being edited.

Approachable shows that require no prior knowledge of anime to appreciate. Determined by lack of tropes, lack of fanservice, resemblance to western media, and short length

thrills & chills guaranteed

Anime with protagonists that aren't heroes nor are they anti heroes. They are straight up villains who do terrible things.

A collection of shows featuring late-night city vibes.

Real bangers that will leave you on the edge of your seat, your mind blown or your eyes tearing up.

Series that are not BL but have a rich BL potential and fanbase. Includes some popular shippings and shipping potential between the two male leads.

Anime with a loner protagonist. Well, at least at the start since introducing new characters is unavoidable. I'm only including the ones where the solitary mindset has been somewhat emphasised.

On this stack , I will attempt to make a newcomer's entrance into the japanese animated medium as smooth as possible. By the end of this stack I'm hoping you will be a well enough rounded anime watcher to understand what you like and what you dislike, as well as having you experience anime that are very good and others not as good, for you to appreciate anime as it is rather than showing off only the gems when the chest is 80% full of rocks.

This stack doesn't have the finest knowledge on everything and there are a fair amount of big types of anime I have no idea how to handle due to my own inexperience, a few big ones being sports shonen, shoujo and older anime. Feedback appreciated.

several various anime genres (f.e. battle shonen, isekai, romance) and couple masterpieces

Death Note: classic, gets you hooked (Drama, seinen)

These animes were the landmarks in anime industry. Critically acclaimed shows and popular for its story, characters, development, and the amazing experience that the audience might feel. Some of them are old and modern, but it has the same level of "masterpiece" that I've seen so far.

This collection was composed of mystery and horror animes. Some of animes were purely mystery and some of them were combination of both. They are great shows that will make your mind blown and thrilled at the same time. It may be the animes aren't meant for everyone but I still hope you'll give it a try. They are still enjoyable to watch.
