These anime have bizarrely unique, wildly niche, or oddly specific concepts. From sentient clothes, to vampires in space, to undead idols, some of these anime may leave you wondering, "who even came up with this idea?..."

Death game/Battle Royale anime

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.

"When it's time for business, get the hell out of my way. If it means creating a path filled with blood and death, so be it." Humans are complex creatures, unpredictable animals despite how civilised they may be. Here's a list that presents how environments around us can influence a person to release its natural instincts that lay dormant inside.

Anime that are adaptations of/inspired by literature/books :)

All manga that fit the "Death Game" criteria. You can also look for the manga version.

The night is silent and darkness predominates in every corner of the countryside or the city, so keep quiet and watch these shows carefully.

新年快乐! Lunar New Year is one of the most important celebrations of the year among East and Southeast Asian cultures, including Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean communities, among others.

The 12 zodiac animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. In addition to the animals, five elements of earth, water, fire, wood and metal are also mapped onto the traditional lunar calendar. Each year is associated with an animal that corresponds to an element.

As Lunar New Year is around the corner, why not watch anime that have characters based on the Chinese Zodiac?

More anime will be updated as time goes on or as I'm made aware of them.

Here is a list of anime that are not the best ones, but can definitively kill some time.



OBS: Some shows are really shitty but can be quite enjoable.

Anime characters are animals. Most of the Main characters must be Animals to consider in the list.

Only one can win, only one can survive, the battle royale, the dark games begin in a fight of all against all.

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.

Animes that examines how the humans relates to each other from different points of view. Some are more focused on individuals and some explores bigger groups or societies.
