Tokyo Ravens

Sometimes, the tropes get tiring, so here's a list of romance anime that put a little twist on it, by adding a bit of occult, with supernatural beings and powers.

This list is dedicated to such a specific sub-genre of LN as "action magic schools". Most of these stories are about how a talented and experienced OP MC ends up in a magic school where they train martial magic skills. Initially, most of the students treat him with contempt and disrespect, as the MC is erroneously defined as a weak loser. But thanks to his experience, intelligence and skills, he proves who is the big boss here. This LN is about OP characters, so almost every work is also an action harem.

Warning: Being one of the popular escapism genres, many works overuse very similar clichés and often take themselves too seriously. Also, most of the list includes large doses of ecchi, up to a separate sub-genre of "magic schools with erotic magic".
Warning 2: The list does not include the usual anime about magical schools like Blue Exorcist, since such works are representatives of the action shonen genre and are almost always published in manga form.

Anime with it located in the central city of hustle and bustle in Japan, Tokyo, or strongly reminiscent of this city.

Being transfer students, the characters in these anime series have hidden powers that make them rather OP.

There are many anime stories with a transfer student character. The average anime title is about a transfer student who has to adapt to a new school. But it's not that simple, sometimes the transfer student character is also portrayed as an overpowered figure who was initially underestimated.

If you crave some light-hearted, sweet, heartfelt romance anime at the moment! Contains little to none drama between the two main characters. This list includes no sequels or side stories.

A list of anime with protagonist's that can see and interact with supernatural entities and spirits, whether that be temporarily or permanently.

All entries in the TCU (Tokyo Cinematic Universe) to help watch in this timeline.



P.S Ok there is no TCU, but if there was, it would look like this...

literally just animes with an op mc

Action based anime where the romance is mostly present or heavily implied

This stack is dedicated to anime that talk about unusual or downright fantastic schools that prepare characters for either fantastic professions and goals, or to become a super specialist in real-life fields. For example, the Gundam school in The Witch from Mercury or the school of the best chefs in the world in Shokugeki no Souma.
Separately, I want to make a reservation that I deliberately did not include magic schools, since this subgenre is so wide that it deserves a separate stack.

These are anime where one or more characters start out as unlikeable to a point that you're sure you'd never like them but as the story continues you end up rooting for & liking them.

(Think Jamie Lannister)



I have watched all of the anime listed here.

Normal foxes or mythlogy, yōkai foxes?
Demons or waifus?
Fluffy and dangerous❤️

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

This is the third [#03] list in the series. Make sure to go through others.
------------------------------------------=====================

Q. What's the criteria for this list?

A. Well, OP MC is always entertaining, when done right, and I usually prefer characters who aren't ultimate cucks around women as well (so some anime with "romance" also show up). Some anime featuring cuck MC's are present in the list, but the cuck level is low/bearable enough or the rest of the anime is entertaining enough to sit through main character's cucky shenanigans (cuckanigans?).. viewer discretion is advised.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PS: Only first season will be listed. If anime has more seasons, watch or skip based on experience. Not sure why other stacks list all seasons of same anime in a list.

This list features "hidden gem" animes which are animes that aren't too popular or mainstream but are really good. (Doesn't include any sequels or specific genres)
