I grew up watching tons of anime, including some supr cool retro re-runs, so why not make a collection of them in one nostalgic stack?
Only problem is... i don't remember the names of half of them 😅
So i need a little help rebuilding my childhood anime portfolio

If you come across this stack and know of any obscure series that ran between the 1960s and early 2000s, please drop a comment in my profile or DM me
And if you discover some anime you like from this stack that'll also make me very happy :)




One particular anime i've been searching for for years, i'll attempt to describe it, it's probably a 70s or 80s anime (maybe 90s), MC fights in rollerskates, and the main 3 bad guys are these little black aliens 2 brothers and a sister
If you find this anime for me i'll be your friend forever!

^^Update: I found it 🤩 The anime is Tondemo Senshi Muteking, and there's 4 aliens

Hello everyone, I will try to list here a long list of anime that have been broadcast on French television, being as faithful as possible.

The 80s represent the very first generation of successful Japanese cartoons to land on televisions of the time.
This wave is mainly marked by the youth program "Récré A2" broadcast from July 3, 1978 until June 29, 1988 on the Antenne 2 channel.

There are also some films and series that date from before 1978 in this list but they did not have a huge impact in France, the year 1978 especially marks the arrival of Grendizer [UFO Robo Grendizer] who was a real pop-cultural tidal wave for years, which we still see its influence today. It will of course be accompanied by equally cult anime throughout the 80s and 90s.

(Sorry for some missing anime, usually it's because they're not on MAL)

(And also I'm doing this whole thread by translating it on google translate, sorry in advance for the bad turns of phrase)

Mitsuko Horie is a japanese singer and actress, she is known as the "Queen of Anime Music" due to her countless and valuable contributions to the scene of anime music over her long career spanning over 50 years.

This list is a collection of series that I view are essential when it comes to experiencing Mitsuko Horie "Micchi" as an artist through her work on anime series. Ordered on how important and big role of the experience her performance plays in the series as a whole.

More comprehensive list of the songs in this page:

This stack is intended as a guide for people interested in the artist and their works and wanting to be able to experience the most important performances and the works of the artist and the experience that these works and performances provide to the audience as a part of a series or a film.

After Mahoutsukai Sally - the first animated series adapted from a manga that was targeting the "shoujo" demographic (young female audience) - there have been many more works that were targeted to this new market following the initial success of "Mahoutsukai Sally"

This list attempts to collect some of the most important of those works, starting from the beginning. This is done so that people who are interested in or new to the history of "Shoujo" anime can gain atleast some kind of understanding of the history and the development throughout the years.

I will try to write my short spoiler free review/thoughts for each of the entries on this list to explain further why I think the entry is important as far as the history of "shoujo" anime is concerned.

In short these are the series that I think everyone who is interested in shoujo anime, the history of shoujo anime or history of girls entertainment in Japan in general when it comes to animation, should be atleast aware of.

Note: The term "shoujo" used in this list is being used to refer girls entertainment in general and not just adaptations from shoujo manga.

This is the second part of a collection of articles where I aim to explore the evolution of anime related music. This part of the list attempts to collect a list of most iconic performances on the "New Age" of anime music.

The term "New Age" used in this list refers to a phase after the "Anime Songs" phase. During this phase there started being more "tie-up songs" that that essentially were "tied" to the animated series in order to gain more exposure and market reach to the song itself. This was an interesting approach for many as it opened a new model on how to sell these products to the market.

The theme songs essentially dropped that strong connection to the series demonstrated by their lyrics and the emotion invoked by the song related to the series. Instead of that the song and the lyrics talk about the series or the characters with an indirect manner forming a supposed link between the performance and the series in question.

The supposed link consists of "the spirit" of the performance which refers to the indirect nature of the performance in relation to the series itself, and "the product" which refers to the stand alone nature of the performance itself as observed without the supposed connection to the initial series. The root of "the spirit" can be said originating from the earlier phase.

These types of theme songs were more common and popular after 1980s. The defining moment that can be said had influence on changing the theme songs away from this model is the popularity of the series "Urusei Yatsura" and how it used to promote a several "tie-up" songs that in contrast to "Anime Songs" by their nature don't necessarily have anything to do with the series, story or the characters as far as the direct approach goes.

I will write my thoughts on each of the entries on this list to further explain why I think the series and the theme songs included as a combined package have attained "iconic" status when it comes to the scene of "New Age" anime music in contrast to the "Anime Songs". I will also give a score related on how well "the spirit" and the "product" perform parallel to each other while complimenting the series as a whole. The series are ordered based on that score.

The term "iconic" in this list is defined by the popularity and how deeply established the spirit and the elements of the performance relating to the spirit establishing the product are in addition of them being supposedly intertwined with the series as a whole experience.

(Un)finished Anime Adaptation - Finished Manga

Basically Anime adaptations which are there to promote the manga (in rare occasions the anime got canceled).
The anime in this list are not judged by it's adaptation itself, but a list to show where one should read the manga to get the full story.

This is intended as a comprehensive list of anime based on manga that ran in the magazine "Bessatsu Margaret".

Anime which aren't part of the music or idol genres that have characters who are singers (both solo and with bands)


List will expand

If you want to recommend an anime to add to this stack you can leave a profile comment or DM me :3

I made this list because I wanted to start watching more classic anime. In order to make this list, I needed to set my own parameters. For simplicity, I chose 1980 and 2001. After browsing through MAL by season from 1980-2001, these are the ones that looked fun. Some are well known, others have a specific genre tag that I usually enjoy. Therefore, this list contains a variety of genres: mahou-shojo, idol, romance, etc.
Hope you enjoy it <3

Those shoujo animes that we would watch after coming back from school. Plotlines are mainly about daily slice of life mixed with a bit fantasy, romance, family and friends. No complicated intrigue no tricky plot twist; just warm and funny.

Combing through all the tiny, lovely but lacking, stacks focused on rock bands, ensembles, singers, and music makers persuaded me to make the big all-encompassing Interest stack myself. I love singing and playing music, and watching musicians in anime giving it their all makes me all hyped up. Do you also want to see more music anime? This list was compiled and sorted for our convenience!

𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚
The anime must be about making and/or performing music. One title per franchise. Idol animes are excluded as they already can be found conveniently here:
　➢　https://myanimelist.net/anime/genre/60/Idols_Female
　➢　https://myanimelist.net/anime/genre/61/Idols_Male

𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠
1–8. Girl Bands
9–20. Boy Bands and Mixed Bands
21–24. Traditional Japanese Music
25–33. Classical Music and Orchestras
34–36. Vocal Ensembles
37–50. Miscellaneous

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐀𝐋'𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞?
The theme called Music features Music Videos (MVs), Idols anime, music listening anime, and animes in which music making is only secondary. This stack is a little more focused. For the whole MAL Theme "Music", use this link:
　➢　https://myanimelist.net/anime/genre/19/Music

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐞
I recommend checking out related titles to the ones in this stack, as some have alternative or independent story lines (i.e. Bang Dream, Argonavis, Liz to Aoi Tori, Piano no Mori). Also, the following anime didn't meet the criteria but are worth mentioning:
　Oshi no Ko — Anime series about an idol singer and a fan
　Perfect Blue — Classic mindf*** movie about an idol singer
　Revue Starlight — Girls battle with singing, acting, and dancing in this theater/opera series
　Bakumatsu Rock — Alternative history series where samurai have guitars instead of swords
　Hypnosis Mic — Hiphop is a weapon in this war torn world, let the rap battle begin
　Takt Op Destiny — Humanoid classical music pieces are weapons in this alien-invaded world
　Vivy Fluorite Eyes Song — In this series an AI singer must destroy all androids or else mankind is cooked
　Lu Over the Wall — Ponyo-like setting, with musicians
　Healer Girl — Schoolgirl healers treat injuries with song
　Dance with Devils — A musical(!) anime series with vampires
　Alien Stage — Korean YT series with MV-like episodes
　Interstella 5555 — Music video movie for Daft Punk album
