Aldnoah.Zero

List of Original Anime Series' (not including sequels/specials/movies)
Original Anime are anime without source material

Anime with characters who consistently show actually autistic traits - stimming, obsession with very specific things and themes, social phobia, unwillingness to change routines, monotone or stereotyped speaking, strict habits, lack of interest in personal exchanges, difficulty building/maintaining relationships, unusual manners and gestures, selective but very strong empathy etc.

Curated by yours truly, late-diagnosed autistic male in his 30's, eager to see more adult autistic representation.

As this list becomes more and more popular (thanks everyone! Feedback appreciated!), I'm adding a friendly reminder: Autistic people are as diverse as neurotypical people are. This list could contain every character from every anime ever made and still be accurate as autistic rep! I just add the ones who "score higher" in showing more common autistic traits.

Are you a fellow autistic person and your most relatable ASD anime fav isn't here? PM me/comment on my profile; I'll appreciate if you add a small (4-5 lines at best) profile focusing on their neuroatypical traits. Try not to add spoilers, though!

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!

SRW V - SRW 30

Some powerfully executed mecha and sci-fi anime! If you're in for some action, drama, and some political, psychological, or philosophical subject matter, these are good anime recommendations. Please, give them a watch.

Will add more depending on new releases.

I'm INFP, so I love watching characters who have the same perspective. I think this is interesting to watch some Fi-Ne dynamics in others.
Only first seasons. Based on personality database and my opinion.

* means one of my faves

Series that have space as their setting.

While many of the best anime series are based on popular manga, some of them are entirely original. Believe it or not, some of the best anime have nothing to do with manga at all, and some even got a manga adaptation after they were aired or while they were in production. Compiled here are non-manga-based anime that you need to add to your watchlist as soon as possible. Some of them are classics that you might have watched and re-watched many times before, while others are a bit more unknown.

This stack is a work in progress.

Animes that first appeared or were on Manga Time Kirara or Manga Time (Original)

Animes with Hiroyuki Sawano godly Soundtracks.

Anime that have decided to be different than the meaningless ''Marvel-esque'' series made for the masses. These have actual meaning and messages that the audience could learn and gain something about themselves.

All entries are listed in alphabetical order with the expection of the Gundam Universal Centuary which are listed in chronological order (0079-0105).

The Classical Generic Mecha When Done Right Lead To Such Amazing Shows.
