HaruChika: Haruta to Chika wa Seishun suru

Anime in which a character interacts with a Rubik's-style puzzle cube in some capacity.

If you know of any anime or individual episodes that aren't listed, PM me. Change to List View to see which specific episodes the cube appears in, if applicable. If some of these lack precise context, it's probably because I haven't actually watched them yet, or because it appears several times in the anime.

(I had to change the title to this boring one because apparently having the word "MY" in the title flags it as "personal preference" and won't let me set the stack as Public)

What I look for the most in an anime above everything else is high-quality writing. That's not to say that manga, visual novel, and light novel adaptations are written poorly; in fact, there are some that have incredible, masterfully-crafted storylines. I have simply personally found that some of the most unforgettable series for me have been novel adaptations.

Given that there currently exists no anime search option for this, the basis of this interest stack is to provide a list of full-length novels that have been adapted into series or movie format.

*Disclaimer: not enough space to add children's classics to this, go check out Nippon Animation's studio page if you want more!

self-explanatory title; those anime have a character that plays one or more musical instruments in a leading role. which means that idol/singer anime aren't included.

no sequels.

An assorted stack of anime series with some talented detectives and mind-boggling mysteries to uncover. Highly recommended for fans who love to put on a thinking cap and wrap their head around, trying to unravel secrets alongside the protagonists.

List of anime with characters who lives around music.

Through hours and hours combing through interest stacks, Wikipedia, online rankings, and various MyAnimeList pages, I've finally compiled the ultimate music stacks, carefully sorted and ordered with love. The love comes from watching these characters in their ensembles giving it their all on their instruments, and from being a musician myself.

𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬
No music videos or MV-structured anime (e.g. Alien Stage, Milgram), and only one title per story-line. Which means that a franchise with stories starring separate main characters can have several titles in the list.

𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠
1–12. Girl Bands
13–20. Boy Bands
21–25. Mixed Bands
26–28. Jazz anime
29–32. Hip hop anime
33–36. Traditional Japanese Music
37–50. Western Classical Music *

*Sub-sorted into Soloists (4 titles), Orchestra anime (6), Choir anime (2), and Scifi (2).

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬
There is so much notable music anime so I've broadened this stack into a trilogy. This 1st part mainly covers bands anime featuring music makers, such as rock bands. It also covers classical orchestra anime and similar titles. The 2nd part covers idol anime. The 3rd part covers singer anime, dance anime, and various music related anime.

There are only TV anime series included. You will not find any sequel TV anime series, movies, OVAs or ONAs.

This interest stack series, "2004-2024: 20 years of anime with 6 or more words in the main title." will be useful for those participating in the AWC / Anime Watching Challenge.

This stack is for anime about characters who investigate crimes or mysteries as a hobby, without being in any way connected with the police, professional detective agencies or intelligence agencies. In general, about talented, often even brilliant, but still amateur detectives (from the point of view of professional activity, not abilities).
