Cottegecore stories harken back to simpler times and a simpler way of living. Many stories center on the idea of a simple life of self-sufficiency in harmony with nature, or characters having adventures in a pretty cottegecore environment. Cottegecore is often influenced by the romanticization of the European countryside in historical times, but may also take place in the woods, mountains, or other rustic locations in any time period. Aesthetics often include rural landscapes, cottages, and other dwellings surrounded by flowers and nature, boys in overalls and girls in old-fashioned dresses, lush forests, and low-tech items and furniture from olden times.

A Magical Girlfriend, exotic girlfriend, supernatural lover, monster girlfriend, or nonhuman woman, is a female (or male, in rarer cases) stock character often associated with romantic comedy anime and manga series, and is sometimes considered a genre of its own, or as the leading lady of the "fantastic romance" genre, which combines the fantasy and romance genres.

Magical girlfriends can be one or many in a single series (always attached to the protagonists). Because of the tendency for rivals to appear even when there is a 'spoken for' lead character and because of the unnatural gender balance among the cast, magical girlfriend comedies are often conflated with harem comedies. A good example of this conflation is 'Oh My Goddess!' which is often confused with one of the prototypical 'harem' titles", despite the short-lived nature of most of the romantic rivalries in the series.

Magical girlfriends initially derived from the US television series Bewitched, which was dubbed for the Japanese market. Sally the Witch was the first anime series inspired by Bewitched, leading to the popularity of magical girls in Japanese anime.

Flaws... don't go away easily for a lot of people. Whether you're trying to embrace fear, loss, or even trying to fit in when you're different in society really. The cure for so many things is connection and we may think "no one wants to connect with me" but all we need is just to find the right people who appreciate us. Someone who hears our voices, someone who appreciates our existence and accepts us for who we are

Updated up to Spring 2022.

Anything with visually appealing art that makes you go stunned and will make you never want to look away from that scenery, and can be used as your background wallpaper.

Anime where the leading couple is from two different species.

Story where the protags fight with, as or alongside demons/monsters of some description and are in, teach at or adjacent to school.

Anime shows with Beaty and The Beast trope!

Pretty self explanatory. Anime that takes place in a countryside (or someplace desolate). Some of which are not necessarily what you would call a "countryside", like Harukana Receive and Zombieland saga, but it has that feel to it.

A list with a bunch of anime shows that share similar vibes and tropes.
They all have female protagonists with something unique about them [personality, appearance, or hair(mostly)] and get different treatment because of that.
make sure to check for extra seasons, episodes, or movies.
