New Interest Stack

Interest Stacks

Animeby Bunille

MC Female Detectives are quite rare. Here's a collection of them.
Some are less realistic detectives, e.g. in a magic show.
Only the most prevalent anime (meaning an anime not difficult to find) that they are an MC in is included in this list. This excludes sequels and such.

Listing all Netflix originals was far easier as some of them are ONAs, as well as the platform itself tells you what are their licenses with their logo on the series cover. However, no Pokemon Journeys or the CGI Mewtwo movie, as they aren't exclusive to them even if marked as if they were. My intent in creating this list is to have a place where you can see the content of the streaming platforms (Just Amazon and Netflix because other platforms have a plethora of content) and because the 'Licensors' profile in MAL doesn't include all shows mentioned. If I miss something that isn't in any of the 'Interest Stacks' please let me know!

Anime where characters manipulate others, outwit them, mislead them for their own benefit, etc. Very often, these characters are very intelligent and great masterminds.

Este fue mi segundo año en el Desafío anual, podría volverse un poco habitual esto desafío para mí.
Ya que te permite realizar un esfuerzo por ver animes viejos que están en mi lista.
Este año decidí no hacer el Hardcore (por falta de tiempo), así que me fui con la dificultad Difícil (de 40 animes) tal vez el año entrante (si es que sigo viendo animes para el próximo año) volveré a entrar.
Ha sido muy interesante y divertido el haber entrado a esto desafío ya que gracias al haberlo hecho he conocido muchas personas (que me ha ayudado muchos) e animes muy interesante.
Acá puede encontrar el desafío del año 2021: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/1890

This was my second year in the Annual Challenge, this challenge might become a bit of a regular for me. Since it allows you to make an effort to watch old animes that are on my list. This year I decided not to do the Hardcore (due to lack of time), so I went with the Hard difficulty (of 40 animes) maybe next year (if I keep watching animes for next year) I will enter again. It has been very interesting and fun to have entered this challenge since thanks to having done it I have met many people (which has helped me many) and very interesting animes.
Here you can find the challenge of the year 2021:

This stack is an ultimate starter pack if you are looking for anime with genius protagonists or characters with considerably high IQ. If mind games and intelligent moments are your go-to interests, this is the perfect stack for you.

For anime with sequels, only the first seasons of each have been included in the stack. The genres include (but are not limited to) psychological, mystery, isekai, sports, and romance/drama.

Long-running shounen anime have not been included in the list, except Detective Conan (in case you are looking for Bleach or Fullmetal Alchemist - yes, this is according to Aizen's plan too).

Part 2 of the series is in progress. Watch this space for updates ;)

Animeby korix_

Mystery anime that center around a series of deaths, assaults, or disappearances that are somehow connected. Possibly feature: serial killers, organized crime, supernatural elements, etc.

Episodic mysteries will be excluded if the string of crimes is limited to its own arc and not a part of an overarching narrative.

Open to suggestions.

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.

Anime that doesn't have many sexualized scenes to boost its popularity with horny basement dwellers.

Exactly like my “best ops” interest stack, this is an ever-growing list of anime that have at least one ending song I love, even if I don’t love the anime itself.
