Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei

Where The protagonist is overpowered or gradually becomes overpowered

Miscellany for the fellow trash enjoyers + other stuff besides the usual OPMC
Nothing stops them from doing what they do

Characters here usually (but not limited to):
* Give zero damns about nobody/Do what most lack the balls to (including you know...( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))
* Will stop at no length to achieve their goals
* Are themselves (e.g. has a highly defining trait in the show/to viewers)
* Are OP (inc. charas extremely skilled in any field or all-capable), or have plot armor to the point it's silly

Gradually shuffling out harem & OPMCs in favour of variety/lesser known shows (There's another stack right there --> if you want that generic stuff)

shows I like to watch somtimes, even though I know they are pretty bad... It's like junk food to me you know... your body needs garbage sometimes...

The following anime have main characters who act weak but are in fact truly overpowered.

Anime series with the most OP Protagonists!
Most of these are Isekais or VRMMOs where the protagonist enters a new world and gains incredible powers, but the list also includes protagonists who were born powerful or became powerful in their own world.


Who do you think would win in a battle between these protagonists?

A Collection of Power-Fantasy Animes where the protagonist has no equal!
Genre may vary :)
(open to additional suggestions)

If you've gotten tired or bored with the common trope of the main character trying to get stronger to save something or somebody. If you just want to take a breather and take a break without worrying about the main character for a while - although I can't guarantee it for all of them - this list is for you (one entry per series - no sequels, etc.). These are only a few of all out there and I ran out of space, so if I missed one, I'm so sorry!

Hope their relationship will give us fun :)

From fantasy to just shooting

A collection of anime with overpowered main characters, either in relation to physically / magically or to their extreme talent in tactics (e.g. always multiple steps ahead of the enemy, knowing their next move, etc)

For anime with multiple seasons, only the first season is included in this list.

Note: this list only includes anime that I have personally watched or read the manga of.

Isekai Anime with OP MC - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30347

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.

Uhhh. So these are some of the worst anime i tried. You should try as well.

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 stack is an ultimate starter pack if you are looking for anime with genius protagonists or characters with considerably high IQ. If mind games and intelligent moments are your go-to interests, this is the perfect stack for you.

For anime with sequels, only the first seasons of each have been included in the stack. The genres include (but are not limited to) psychological, mystery, isekai, sports, and romance/drama.

Long-running shounen anime have not been included in the list, except Detective Conan (in case you are looking for Bleach or Fullmetal Alchemist - yes, this is according to Aizen's plan too).

Part 2 of the series is in progress. Watch this space for updates ;)

In this list, I tried to collect as many shows as possible that are dedicated to the deconstruction of certain genres, plot themes or various characters. Therefore, there are both tragedies like Madoka and Eva, and parodies like KonoSuba or Kaguya.

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.
