This is an early list that I made and quite frankly it's a mess, I decided to make a more comprehensive thematic series, check them out:

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.

Shinigami, Death Gods, Grim Reapers - personifications of Death itself. Those who decide when and how humans will die, harvest souls, and/or ferry the recently departed to the land of the dead. Such legends have persisted across cultures around the world for centuries. This stack collects anime which feature shinigami.

(Note that only *actual* shinigami are included, not characters simply nicknamed or called 'Shinigami.' For the sake of variety, this stack does not contain sequels or spinoff material. This list may not be exhaustive.)

A selection of more linear and conventional story telling or just damn good art.
If you want to see how vast the anime world is and explore narratives and art styles that are not part of the mainstream, try them out.

There have been some database changes that affect the listing. The ones I have noticed include title and type.
