Harukanaru Toki no Naka de: Hachiyou Shou

Otome games (sometimes shortened to otoge) are visual novels with a female protagonist, multiple male love interests, and story choices which lead the player down one of many routes towards a romantic ending. At their core, otome games are romance stories; however, they frequently feature an overarching side plot that is revealed slowly across each route.

Titles in this stack are sorted by most recent. Sequels and specials of TV anime are omitted. Where I've seen both the anime and played the VN, I've tried to give a brief description of what was covered.

they sing and stuff

Animes shoujosei (and some seinen/shounen) of romance (not all), with royalty/historical/isekai themes

𝗥𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆: These anime feature royalty: members of a royal family such as King, Queen, Prince, or Princess.

𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹: The setting of a historical anime takes place at some point in Earth's past. The level of dedication to portraying the lifestyles, societies, and technologies of past periods and peoples accurately or believably can vary greatly between different works.

𝗜𝘀𝗲𝗸𝗮𝗶: Isekai is a fantasy genre where a person from Earth is transported to, reborn, or trapped in a parallel universe or fantasy world.

Isekai (and videogame) anime with a female main character.


See notes for genres and clarifications.

Shoujo and reverse harem-esque shows with 'isekai' plot elements, with characters transported to different (often fictional, historical, or magical) settings as a major plot element/premise.

So in 2023, I decided to challenge myself to watch all the anime based on otome games or with a game adaptation even if that isn't a good anime in the end.
I will try to play all the games even if they are just available in Japanese.
I want to share this publicly because I found that aren't that many stacks with this kind of theme and as an otome lover I need to do my job here (my English is trash sorry)

ps.: I will do the same for manga because normally manga is superior

Isekai has changed a lot throughout the years. Characters have gone from being spirited away to reincarnating in a beloved piece of media.

This stack is meant to be a comprehensive list of isekai series aimed at women, from the days of Fushigi Yuugi and Magic Knight Rayearth to the time of modern villainess series.

Let me know if I'm missing anything. :D

Animes set in medieval, ancient, or fantasy worlds that focus on royalty, aristocracy and internal conflicts; kidnappings, rebellions, war, politics, arranged marriages, revenge, assassination attempts, etc.

In this stack you will find all isekai anime, including OVAs, ONAs, specials and movies. I included not yet aired ones too. This stacks starts with anime from 1983 onwards, so there are some oldies in here.

How many have you seen? Have fun discovering your new favourites!
