Myself; Yourself

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

Anime adaptations of various visual novels. Their total number is clearly more than the allowable limit, so I tried to add mainly adaptations of novels by well-known brands (Key, 5pb, Aquaplus), or those with well-known adaptations. Given the many sequels, spin-offs, and versions (especially in the case of the Fate series), I added only very first anime in the franchise.

Anime about various twins, including fraternal or triplets, quadruplets, etc. In general, any anime where twins are the main characters, love interest, or at least very important side character. In some shows, the characters are step siblings, but the premise or certain events still position them as sort of "twins".

some underrater anime that ik ig. lmk if u watched these or if u have never heard of these b4.
no spoilers cuz why not. i wanna see ppl watching em themselves.

Anime based on Visual Novels and Games

Romance between siblings, cousins. This list contains blood related, step, adopted and cousins. Also check out the part 2 of this theme. And also check out the incest hentai interest pack if you watch incest hentai.

I have watched every show on this list and i have ranked them in my personal viewing experience and not in amount of incest, for example elfen lied have cousins complex and it is not that much but I still ranked it high

These anime primarily focus on one or more childhood friends. The friends might have reunited after a long period of time apart, or they might be characters who start a relationship in a Romance anime. A Childhood Promise might also be involved.

Sussy moments between twins. Twins understand each other the most. Twincest has ’win’ innit.

Forgotten comfy gems of the early-digital era of animation. Specifically series from the 2000s that might still have been produced in a 4:3 aspect ratio but this is not a requirement. The series I picked for my list are generally more absurd comedies or meta-commentaries with a lot of heart since that's what I gravitate towards, though is not necessariy representative to describe everything here. Not all of these shows were the most successful during airing but severely overlooked. Everything here is worth watching!

Work in progress

One short anime from each year of 21st century.

So this stack is not intended to offend anyone, it's a list made from my observations in the community about some works that maybe at some point were popular or had their moments of fame but nowadays very few people talk about.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/31737

Tired of last episodes being an advertisement to read the source, or left waiting for next seasons that won't come? This list includes anime originals, complete adaptations and original endings that tell a full, conclusive story.

Short anime ver (less than 30 episodes from start to finish).

Long anime version: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/3338

Whether identical, fraternal, alike or different. Whether main characters, side characters, or only in one episode, all these shows have twins.

If there are two anime in the same franchise on this list, that means there’s a new pair of twins introduced.

Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30698

NOT an exhaustive list. 50 TV anime adapting visual novels/ eroge with a male protagonist, usually with romance or a harem. Went for a generic sample, excluded series too exceptional/ distinct (Higurashi, Fate/Stay Night, ef: A Tale of Memories., etc.). 5k members minimum.
