(Not exhaustive, and if I've missed out anything that deserves to be in this list, feel free to drop a message)

These anime are mostly set at restaurants, cafes or bars. The characters are either working there, are frequent customers, or have yet another connection with these places.

Cute and innocent anime titles where (almost) nothing bad happens.

Anime with smol/cute main or side characters which you KNOW you feel the urge to protecc! There is one entry per series.

Warning: Some of these characters come really late in the series.

A selection of 21st century anime series featuring characters who are adults. From ordinary office workers to traveling peddlers to superheroes, adult protagonists can have a variety of life experiences and many different ways of living. Young emerging adults may still be trying to find their path in life, while established older folks are more likely to have mastered the art of adulting - or at least learned enough to muddle by. Some adults become jaded over time from repeated exposure to the reality that life is often painful, depressing, and unfair. Others retain a more positive outlook by focusing on their dreams for the future or take a more pragmatic approach by putting all their efforts into improving their lives here and now.

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.

Just some Iyashikei(healing) anime to make your day better.
This will be the ultimate list. I'll add more by time to time.
I'll add only one season of each anime.

In these animes the protagonists (as a couple or individually) somehow take care of babies or young children.
-Relationship "father and son"
-Caring for a child due to major circumstances

En estos animes los protagonistas (en pareja o de manera individual) de alguna manera tienen a su cuidado bebés o niños pequeños.

Educational Gourmet Anime that will Inspire and Instruct you in the Art of Cooking are for those anime that do not just show food, but include:-
* Background on ingredients properties
* Education on how some food products are grown / harvested
* Instructions on proper methods of preparing and/or cooking
* Usually these include recipes
* Final product is delicious food

That the viewer can then be inspired to try and cook, or look for a restaurant to eat it!

Note: I will be adding and re-ordering items on this stack when I watch more Gourmet Animes.

Just some anime characters and whatnot in their usual hectic or peaceful lives, whichever it may be. Basically this stack is just for you to relax and vibe to, as it’s filled with comedy so you’re not stressed as you watch anime. In other words. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show as you’re dragged along for a fun ride.

-Includes all types of genre but mostly (slice of life, comedy, romance)
-Anime with no fan service
-Little to no gore or violence

Anime stack for you to relax and chill out

Maybe those works partially helped me and others to acquire Japanese by the work itself, directly or indirectly. No other hints(english, native subs via sub skimming and negative delay, memorized words) to the japanese being expressed were necessary

Not that Anime in general is difficult to comprehend in the long run, his show and tell and compelling narration helps a bunch. At least the top 500 on myanimelist have compelling stories for everyone.

Accepting suggestions for new stories.
