✔️。

did you realise that its almost impossible to buy and collect all of clamps manga without spending over a thousand pounds so its just easier to watch the animes? or are you just a clamp fan who wants to understand the crossover hell of cameos in tsubasa chronicle? here u go.

Animes with the horror, paranormal and supernatural genres.

Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/28790
Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/29025

Most of One Piece aired in the 2000s and 2010s.

These are animes that have main characters that have both black hair and red eyes, this also includes characters that turns their eyes red.

I couldn't think of a good title, but I think you can see the theme of this stack.

Don't watch CLAMP animes, they always differs from the original manga. But if you're gonna ignore me then here you go the list of the main titles.

On Mal, There are over 1000 Shonen anime listed, 1000 Seinen anime listed, 491 Shoujo anime listed... and 150 Josei anime listed. The amount of Josei anime in circulation is extremely disproportionate to the amount of other Demographics, which is sad for all the Josei lovers out there.

To cope, I decided to create an interest stack with anime that I THINK can pass as Josei anime despite not having the tag, due to certain criteria such as:

-Written by a woman
-Complex + mature themes/relationships
-Well written female characters, of course!

The Josei Demographic is extremely varied, with romantic shows like one would expect such as Hakuouki and Kakiriyo, to action anime with an almost Shonen feel like 07-Ghost and Saiyuuki.

Otherworldly and/or monstrous features creeping into character design, art style, and/or otherwise general aesthetics; prominent uses of orange, black, and stripes, perhaps even gothic and/or chilling fairy tales—whether or not it's actually set in Halloween, these anime fit the spirit while embracing the cartoon medium ⋆

I'm surprised that there isn't a name to this specific kind of aesthetic I've been craving. I seriously want to see more cute anime that embraces the spookiness in ways like Soul Eater or Hells (Angels) did.


Non-anime examples:
Over the Garden Wall, Coraline, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Devil's Candy, OMORI (specifically the Ghost Party area and Something), Tim Burton
