MBS's late night anime programming block which currently airs on Saturdays from 1:55-2:55.

Worldbuilding - "the process of constructing a world, originally an imaginary one, sometimes associated with a fictional universe." These kinds of shows are usually set in a fantasy and/or sci-fi world, and excel at establishing & showcasing the rules/history/economy of their fictional universe. List was created through collective data from multiple websites of people's answers as to what shows are considered to have great world building.

Some powerfully executed mecha and sci-fi anime! If you're in for some action, drama, and some political, psychological, or philosophical subject matter, these are good anime recommendations. Please, give them a watch.

Will add more depending on new releases.

The mecha genre is specific to the anime medium, for the reason that what once started from an interesting concept, over the decades and the various artistic interpretations it had gone through, did managed to reach it's full development and thematic recognition.

It's origin can be traced way back to the end of World War 2, and the notion of the general populace at the time, that the technological breakthroughs, and their further usage to help and safeguard mankind are the way that we should develop as a species, so that's when the bipedal metal giants were born - a figures with humane limbs and features, that are controlled by a person and which allows them to wield this overwhelming power in service of a greater good.

In this interest stack, I've presented the ways in this genre had changed, and the specific shows which had major impact upon the development of the mecha as a concept, and the ways it had branched out of the established norm for this genre exploring a broad spectrum of themes. The order of the shows is in chronological order, since that way the slight alterations and changes can be presented in more simple and efficient manner.

When I first started watching anime, I thought anime was basically a kind of animation with a unique art style. But now I am seeing that most anime comes with a lot of tropes, and a lot of people see these tropes as part of anime. I am not a fan of these tropes, so I am making a list of anime that I like, and I feel have a relatively low amount of tropes, at least compared to most other anime. I still haven't watched a lot of anime, for example - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. But I will add more anime as I watch them.

There are no tags for 3D and CGI which is why this list exists. Clicking the "list view" button will provide the names of sequels if the anime has any.

Post-apocalyptic titles in different genres worth watching.

This is not exhaustive collection of titles that have post-apocalyptic wibes, it's just my collection of essential titles I would recommend to anybody who will ask me for recommendations.

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

This is a list of anime with the sci-fi/fantasy theme of cosmic horror. It commonly features monstrous beings or great leviathans. It's sometimes complimented by biopunk, a sci-fi genre about the use of biotechnology.

Cosmic horror features Lovecraftian themes of eldritch otherworldly influences. They may have control over humanity, or have driven us to near extinction. There is often little hope for a better future. The true nature of the world is commonly hidden and revealed as the story unfolds.


The anime on this list embody this trope to varying degrees. I'll be adding to this list as time goes on.

A subgenre of science fiction that focuses on biotechnology. Includes anime with biotechnology even if it isn't a primary theme.

There are not many space thrillers, so I thought I would make a list.

Even if the anime is part of an anthology, it will still be included. An example would be “Memories”, where only the first story “Magnetic Rose” is a space thriller.

Space: the final frontier. The ultimate aspiration for Humanity´s willingness to deal with the unknown (at least until a multiverse is confirmed). And who is Humanity´s best friend in such an endeavor? Spaceship is.

And thus, Spaceship is:
- Lost in space.
- Trying to leave Earth.
- Trying to return to Earth.
- Trying to go from A to B.
- Wandering aimlessly.
- Trying to go to where no man has gone before.

Or similar scenarios.

While doing so, Spaceship is also:
- Trying to survive.
- Facing adversities.
- Dealing with the unknown.
- Facing its enemies, foreign or domestic.

All in the name of whatever mission Spaceship might have.

Spaceship is love. Spaceship is life.

This stack might include entire franchises; since I do not want to bloat it with all of their elements, I will only include the first one or the most significant one and comment as needed.

Also I am intentionally censoring certain words because Facebook and Twitter traumatized me.

If you have suggestions for this stack, let me know.

This is a stack with some popular space operas. It was made for those who want to get into the genre.

Well, how should I explain this? All the weirdest things in the weirdest box, what do you expect lol
Whether things are weird or not depends on each person's point of view, when you see too many weird things, your mind will consider those things as normal and not as weird as the first time...

Mystery anime that after some introductory episodes mainly show, one continuous plot rather than episodic mysteries or tiny story arcs.
