Sakurada Reset

Anime you can only find (or used to only find) on Amazon, I'm going to add anime you could technically watch on HIDIVE (because Sentai has the licenses, they get to share some series). Note that I'm not adding shows which could be considered "old" because they weren't released as amazon-only initially, so no Gamba or Takarajima. Also no 'Ishida to Asakura', you can't fool us with that 2021 date Amazon, it came out in 2013. Not adding shows which are on other streaming platforms in the West (If I were to consider them I'd add a note), so no Asia streams or programming in other regions. Of course, if I get something wrong put it in the comments, this is to keep track of anime on Amazon but don't expect this to be the most "official" list because of expected region differences. Note also that some can be found on Funimation but due to Crunchyroll's merge I'm still unsure about adding them, I mostly get the streaming info from LiveChart although I've noticed it also misses some streams like 'Unbreakable Machine Doll' or the new 'Initial D Legend' movies which are available with Prime. As a side note, Amazon owns the right to many sequels but either has the original on Prime (But I consider other streaming platforms so no 'Psycho-Pass 1') or under a paywall.

Edit 2023: Because of the many licenses gone to HIDIVE this list is trying to compile what were Amazon Originals, I'm slowly working my way to knowing exactly which series fit these criteria, such as Vinland Saga which started as an Amazon original but then went on to be in Crunchyroll and Netflix, if a series is in the two of the biggest anime streaming platform Funimation and Crunchyroll (although they're basically the same now they still work as different platforms) they're not admitted here however if on one of the two then it's fine, why? because at that point being an alternative platform doesn't cut it when a series is on two of the more popular anime streaming services.

Anime that has time travel elements on it. It can be the main theme of the show or just a few episodes as long as time travel happened but wouldn't include those where time travel could be a major spoiler... if you know, you know.

You won't need to read the manga/novel or wait for a second season.

(May have spin-offs/specials, but the main story is complete)

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 ;)

This is the best combination to ever exist.

The included anime contain multiple mysterious cases that are only loosely connected, or not connected at all.

The cases may take more than one episode to get resolved.

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.

For those interested in mystery, suspense and the unknown, here is a list of good anime in these genres

These animes are either underrated or it doesn't get enough attention it deserves.
I am also an easy watcher so most of my score will be high (7+), but these animes need to have higher rating anyway--

I have another list for Underrated Movie/ONA/Short Animated Film/Animated MV: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/33412

So you've reached a certain age when shonen shows with never-ending fights between uni-dimensional characters who are only interested in becoming stronger bore you to tears ; when school romances look the same to you again and again with repetitive tropes and characters ; when mechas looks so much the same that you can't actually remember which show you're currently watching. You only want to watch shows with good stories, good characters, good production value and interesting topics, including some possibly disturbing ones, although you don't want cheap horror either with jumpscares and pointless suffering on-screen since there is enough misery in the world.
This list is my proposition to you guys, from a fellow well into his fifties. Some may be imperfect, some may be frustrating in some ways, but they should all provide some interesting watches.
There are some spoilers in the descriptions below so don't read them if you want to avoid them.

The list is still under construction

from the animelon 'about' page:

"Learning a language can be difficult; often times it is boring and tedious, so we want to help the language learning community by providing a more entertaining and engaging way to learn. The idea of Animelon is to provide interactive tools that assist users in learning Japanese as they watch anime. If you love watching anime, why not make more out of the time spent?"

this is part of a series of stacks on the japanese-language-learning-focused anime streaming site animelon. the anime are listed first in order of difficulty ranking according to JPDB, from the easiest (level 1) to the most difficult (level 10), and then by MAL members of the earliest season listed. I will include include all seasons, entries etc. that are available on animelon, with notes that include information on other series entries.

Series or films that I find somewhat reminiscent of Makoto Shinkai's works, whether in the art or themes. I'd like to keep this updated, so please send me your suggestions as well :)
