Anime collected in this stack have stories which focus on the struggles of maintaining, repairing, or building family bonds. These relationships should be between the main characters and must be non-romantic in nature.

Series which focus primarily on taking care of infants to pre-teen children will not be included in this stack; please use the Childcare theme to find these stories. However, if the childcare component is only one relationship of multiple in the family, then these anime will also be added here.

These series and animated films take place in the countryside, forest, or other rural location.

A selection of 21st-century anime based on source material that pre-dates it by at least twenty years. This includes old-school manga, novels, and video games. Great for those who love retro media ad enjoy seeing classic content dusted off and revived for a new generation of fans to enjoy.

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.

Anime that aired in Britain on TV. Does not include streaming, home release, etc. Some air dates are included.


My source for some of these is through word of mouth or archived forum posts so if there are any inaccuracies I apologize. As a rule of thumb if an air date is included it means the show definitely aired.

Anime series and movies that Fujimoto Tatsuki (Chainsaw Man author) mentioned in the Magazine Switch. Could be taken as recommendations.

Ghibli Studio movies that weren't directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The description lists the director for the movie as well as Hayao Miyazaki's position if he had one.

Many things can be said about studio Ghibli - an institution and hallmark of a name that produced movies that are both critically and casually loved and appreciated. Their distinct artwork can be easily recognized and their stories have particular whimsical romanticism that could make us perceive the world as brimming with positivity and magic, as long as we dare to look at it that way.

Most of their works are able to be appreciated from viewers of all ages and there are quite often nuances that could be acknowledged and appreciated by more detailed inspection, the lavish symbolism and meticulous crafting of their stories is something the studio's famous for. Although the magical motifs are abundant and presented in a very organic way, at the core of their tales, lies the empathetic and humane - all of them shows a colorful and poignant cast, who often tries to see the better in humanity, and is not afraid to point at it's mistakes and problems. With their actions, they protest towards the cruelty and unfairness that the world is plagued with, and seeks to find a better way in which everyone can coexist.
