A stack of heroine with glasses in anime for those who love glasses.

Literary & library related series, but also just book stuff too.

I once made a list of Jazzy soundtracks I found in anime so I decided to put it here. Feel free to send me any suggestions.

Shows where ships play some fairly notable part in the story. Stack is biased toward ocean-going vessels. Submarines are also included.

Anime that have a female main character that is strong. This can include: strong willed, an intellectual, physically strong, magically adept or a mix of those traits. Most of the time they are portrayed as mature and respectful.

These traits makes the character(s) heads above the average female portrayal in the anime medium.

For this list, the character[s} are:
-- Strong (of course)
and
-- A Woman (adult female / mature for their age teen)
and
-- A Main Character
or
-- Not main but appears often in the anime (not a one episode cameo character)

Please let me know if there are others out there that I have yet to have the pleasure of viewing, or left out by accident.

Thanks!

Anime that portray characters heavily influenced by words. This could be anything from a librarian, a writer, editor, etc.

As well as characters who have troubles with speech, writing, or using words to express themselves properly.

Some anime listed may be included because the book / words themselves take on a life of their own.

Basically anything related to the subject will be included.

Please feel free to contact me if there are any more anime that need to be added. Thanks!

The OVA market dried up as straight to video releases became a thing of the past, which is unfortunate because a lot of interesting and unique anime were released in this format. The point of the list is to feature worthwhile OVAs that are more than just fanservice or shoddy extras for TV series. Sigh, due to the explicit content warning feature, I've excluded Mezzo Forte, but it would be on here otherwise. I should also probably make room for Yukikaze at some point.

Series which aired on the Sci-fi/Syfy Channel's Ani-Monday block; Ani-Tuesday entries also included. Ordered alphabetically by their English titles.

Animes recommended by brazilian YouTubers Alexandre Esteves and Vinicius Louzada in the following video https://youtu.be/WAVS28sbUqc
The stack follows the same order of the video
In order, the genres being addressed are; Action, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Thriller, Sports, Sci-fi, Music, Historical and Romance
Alexandre’s profile on the site: https://myanimelist.net/profile/AlexandreEsteves
Just to clarify in case of doubt, the name of the stack is an homage to the channel of the same name(Imorrível) that was owned by both Alexandre and Vinicius, which no longer produces content, meanwhile, Jumentossauro, the channel in which the video that this stack is based on comes from, is solely belonging to Alexandre, with this video being a collab between the two.

463-550. Rip. Only like 30+ anime left to check from for the next part, which means it'll be small. ;-;. Oh well. Still gonna be fun. :D
