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.

...or so I thought but apparently they are [redacted] /j

The anime stack of sports anime series with mostly all-male casts, yeah these are totally sports anime series trust me. I won't put the sequels because the stack is limited to 50 so yeah find them by yourself if you enjoy the series.

Criteria:
1. TOTALLY a sports anime
2. There are a lot of male casts
3. Story is basically about the teamwork and friendship
4. Rate isn't that bad
5. Show isn't too old

Will be always updated whenever there's a new series I find.

Literally just every sports anime I have seen

Various sports compiled into one list of anime. If there are multiple TV-series with the same sport, be warned I just chose the one with a higher popularity. However, there are most definitely other sports anime you should check out such as Slam Dunk, Megalo Box, Ahiru no Sora, Tennis no Ouji-same, All Out!!, Ashita no Joe, Major, Ryman’s Club, Blue Lock, etc.

A list of anime that I've seen that I think are good enough to deserve more recognition.

High-speed and dangerous sports that give you tons of adrenaline. Activities such as Skateboarding, Surfing, Motocross, and similar, were consider for this Interest Stack.

Note: Although there are collected extreme sports that exist in real life, I made an exception with Prince Of Stride: Alternative, since the physical activitie know as "Stride" has some elements of parkour on it, is the closest I know to an anime about parkour.

friendship defeat victory

Sports anime with male MCs/focusing on male teams or characters.

As the title already says, here are anime that fans of sports anime should watch. (I didn't include the sequences because otherwise, I would run out of space very quickly in this list.)

Includes Sports anime with epic moments that gives a ton of feelings.

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

Sports anime about athletes who are just really, really close friends and stuff.

Anime with hot guys to steal the spotlight. Eye candy! 😋
Only one title will be displayed.

Characteristics:
1) The pairings are very clear (No involvement of third party)
2) Subtle (no 'I love You's, but more to 'I Would Die/Live For You')
3) Not focused on the pairings or even romance (pairings are mostly backdrops and the plot moves the anime)
4) YAOI/SHOUNEN-AI WILL NOT BE HERE

Special mentions (because they don't fit all the categories above): Sakamichi no Apollon, Vanitas no Carte

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.
