Boy version of the CGDCT genre. Mainly silly comedies and slice of life.

If you won't judge me I won't judge you...

edit. I realize there are like 50k idol and sports anime that would fit this stack, so for variety sake I'm willfully ignoring most of them

favorite rainbow/colorful animes!! If the characters or overall color palette of the anime is colorful it'll go here no matter the genre!!

List of great magical girl animes, anyone whose interested should watch, I do fudge about a bit with the rules for a magical girl anime should be, but otherwise they all make sense.

The anime stack of mostly all-male casts which is original or adapted from mangas/novels. No romance anime here (yes there are some who fell in love but romance isn't the main plot). I won't include the sequels because the stack is limited to 50 so you gotta find them out by yourself.

Part 1 (idols, games, multimedia projects): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/2078
Also check out pretty boys doing sports: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/2079

they sing and stuff

Anime with lots of cute boys mostly excluding the sports, yaoi, romance or harem genre. Just cute boys doing stuff.
There is a number 2 now https://myanimelist.net/stacks/37404

I think the tittle is pretty self-explanatory.

*not all the tittles are parodies
**they are UNPOPULAR not HIDDEN GEMS so many of them could be pretty bad lmao

All these anime's include very shippable characters who mostly have no other person in the anime you could possibly ship them with. This is a marketing ploy because this makes anime/ships very popular as well as being apart of the lgbtqia+ community is not openly embraced by any Asian media. A lot of these anime's has novels, manga chps, side manga, official art, and drama cds that are very suggestive or downright very gay. They have all have very suggestive scenes in the animes as well including op, ed, end credits that are very fruity.

disclaimer: Includes anime with non-canon couples, non canon lgbt but all animes are gay coded in a way that queer people recognize. Also most have anime with canon lgbtqia+ characters

Similar to Magical Girls but mainly boys.

shows with 60,000 members and above.

The title speaks for itself.

CBDCT, an equivalent of CGDCT (cute girls doing cute things).

The cast of characters consists either predominantly of boys, or only of boys.

Some animes could be BL or have BL hints/fan services.

What the title says, any anime which has over 1,000 fanfics on AO3. (Note: anime with 10,000+ fics are on their own list, so if you see anything that’s super popular that's missing, that’s why) And since the tagging system on AO3 is a bit inconsistent I made a few choices:
For anime with separate tag categories for the manga and anime adaptation, I only took the fic number for the anime entry, I did not add them together. For anime and manga which have already been lumped together under one tag I used that number.

For anime with reboots where the reboot and the original got lumped together I chose the version with the most members on myanimelist to represent it (like Fruits Basket)

For franchises which have all been lumped under one tag, I chose the earliest tv series installment of the series to represent it. (for example Gundam, or Lupin III). But if an individual installment of that franchise tagged separately also reached 1,000 fics by itself it also got included. (like Gundam Wing)
Exceptions to this rule are the Fate franchise and Yugioh, because I don’t want to make another list just to squeeze those in lmao. Here are the individual installments of those which have all reached 1,000:
Fate/Grand Order
Fate/Zero
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS
Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal
Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V

And if you notice that I’ve missed anything feel free to let me know

not all of them are like light and some of them are a bit dark, but they all have cute boys doing cute things so its okay

Includes all* anime on the Anime+/GRAPH mahou shoujo/magical girl achievement list

Notes:
If the anime is saved under a different name in the original list (and the ID matches), the listed title is added as a comment. The anime will keep its place according to the list - even if it will no longer be alphabetically correct according to its main title on MAL. This is to make the job of checking and updating these much easier for me.

*The main stacks do NOT include hentai. This is both for people who want to avoid it, and because including it will significantly limit the stack. Please proceed to the Hentai Edition™ in the list below if you're into that.
