Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World - The Animated Series

Shows/Movies of all kinds that are either meant for or can be enjoyed by an older audience. A treasure trove of excellence covering a wide range. Story-driven thrillers, well researched historical shows, brilliant world-constructions, poetic narrations, gripping thrillers, dark comedies, complex future visions, tightly packed action, avant-garde art, solid entertainment, tear-jerking dramas to light-hearted slices of lives.
No big-boob dumdums, high-pitched VAs, fan-/lip-service or plot-around-the-holes-type shows. Teenage angst and school-settings are rarities in these two lists.

When I first started watching anime, I thought anime was basically a kind of animation with a unique art style. But now I am seeing that most anime comes with a lot of tropes, and a lot of people see these tropes as part of anime. I am not a fan of these tropes, so I am making a list of anime that I like, and I feel have a relatively low amount of tropes, at least compared to most other anime. I still haven't watched a lot of anime, for example - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. But I will add more anime as I watch them.

A list of action anime where the main fighting protagonist is female.

The following will be excluded -

1. Magical girl anime. There are too many of them. Besides there is a dedicated tag for them on MAL so they are easy to find. If an anime despite feeling like magical girl, doesn't have this tag, then I will add them.

2. Gender-bender anime. For example, a lot of Isekai anime where a male is reincarnated in a female body and vice-versa.

3. Anime where the protagonists are mainly female. For example, Lycoris Recoil, Release the Spyce etc. There are too many, so deserves their own list.

4. Anime where all combat is done by controlling something. For example, mecha or vehicular combat anime.

Shows where some characters are written and portrayed outside what is considered the standard "man" or "woman". This is my first interest stack so I just wanted to have fun with it and recommend some animes I liked under this particular idea ;^)

And happy pride month~!

Dieselpunk is a retrofuturistic subgenre of science fiction that combines the aesthetics of the diesel-based technology of the interwar period through to the 1950s with retro-futuristic technology.

All the anime that have a trans character I've watched!

List that will always be updated!!

Some may be considered spoilers

Order from best to worst, from favorite to least favorite (in MY OPINION, a transmasc person)

A continuation of my previous stack, "Anime Based on Significantly Older Manga", exclusively including remakes. The manga must have been at least 15 years old when the anime released. Organized in ascending order by length of time between manga and remake.

List is incomplete. If I am missing any big ones, let me know. Thanks to everyone who has helped me add to this list.

Second remake version: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/58981

Whether for better or for worse, these anime have characters that highly value individualism, personal achievement and detest government action against peaceful peoples.

This includes a wide ideological base ranging from Randian Objectivism, to Anarchist, to just generally anti-authoritarianism.

Please feel free to send me a DM if you think any other anime should be included in this stack.

Are you interested in the earth and how the planet works or just like seeing geological themes in your anime? Then you've come to the right place!

These anime feature geologists or themes involving geology. If you're interested in minerals, rock formations, lava or natural disasters then check out some of the anime on this list. Due to the lack of geology focused series, some anime on the list will include tangential references to geology and may not feature it as a major theme. These will be included at lower entries on the list.

If you can think of any other anime to add to this interest stack, feel free to shoot me a DM!

The world is not beautiful. And that; in a way, leads to some sort of beauty.

To explore; means to understand the beauty as well as the accepting the faults, reality and uniqueness of your world.

All these anime either:

A.) Have a psychological tag but their manga or novel adaptations do not have a psychological tag
B.) Do not have a psychological tag, but their manga or novel adaptations have a psychological tag


Feel free to DM or message me about any questions, suggestions, or opinions about this stack!

Here's some anime to watch to inspire and comfort you in some dark times in your life. Some are inspiring and some are dramatic, but all of them have helped me feel like maybe it's ok to keep going. That tomorrow may be brighter!

*Some titles are multiseason, so I just chose the seasons that were extra special if you so decide to start the show.

Collection of series and films featuring or focusing on motorcycles or riding motorcycles.

this is all to my fellow female anime watchers that is trying hard to find some decent heartfelt anime (unserious remarks)

I will try to put as many anime where tomboys have been the protagonists or are very present in the story. Some series are repeated.


Having 50 as a limit is awful.

Shows only, no movies. Not genre-specific.

This is for the Muslim anime fans!

DISCLAIMER: I've gotten messages from people who will tell me that some of the anime I have on this list are not halal because of one thing or another. Those people clearly didn't read the description so please DO SO before you start badgering me.

YES, it's probably nigh on impossible to find a non-children's anime that's completely 100% halal (if you are going to be THAT nit-picky then you should probably just not watch anime at all), but for those of you who want to watch something at least a little more clean than usual I've done my best to compile a list of shows that can be watched without too much of a guilty conscience during Ramadan or even normal days, alone or around family members.

I'm NOT excluding shows that have characters killing or dying (gotta have SOME conflict), smoking, drinking (in moderation), cursing, using magic (OTHER than what's listed below), or romance since almost every show has a little of that (so long as no overly physical intimacy is shown, though I tried to avoid anime where romance is the main focus). What I AM excluding are more so things that would be uncomfortable for the average conscientious Muslim to watch.
Shows with a supernatural element are also included so long as they don't include what's listed below.
Shows with a focus on music or drawing are also included, but if you rather avoid those shows as well I'll mention it in their description.

The criteria for this stack is that these shows DO NOT contain:

- Unnecessary nudity or ecchi scenes
- Dick jokes, boob jokes, masturbation jokes or jokes based on characters feeling aroused
- Sexual innuendo or content
- Incest or overly intimate behavior between siblings
- Gods, demons, angels, or other theological entities
- Settings of heaven, hell, or the afterlife
- Reincarnations, reanimation, necromancy, or creation of life
- Ghosts or spirits
- Traps or reverse traps (i.e. boys dressed as girls, or girls dressed as boys)
- Romance, crushes or overly intimate scenes between characters of the same sex
- Gender-ambiguous characters (like Crona from Soul Eater or Osana from Komi-san Can't Communicate)
- Characters that change genders
- Characters that claim to be a gender they're not
- Intense kissing scenes
- Characters dressed in exaggeratedly skimpy or skin-tight outfits

I actually found more than I thought I would, haha. Of course it's been awhile since I've watched some of these so my memory is a little fuzzy on details; some of the shows listed MIGHT have one of the no-no's I listed above. If so please do let me know.* Also do read the synopsis of any anime you're planning to watch to get a better idea on what it's about, and what features in it.

*NOTE: Again, just the ones I listed above! Do not bother me if you're going to tell me this show has magic or that show has boys and girls touching. YES, I know those things are haram in real life, but be reasonable; these are shows created by non-Muslims ABOUT non-Muslims FOR non-Muslims, so you can't expect to find anything that obeys Sharia law here! If you're worried because an anime has young women not wearing hijab then again, maybe just don't watch anime. This is for those Muslim anime fans who would just like a good story or wholesome entertainment without all the sexual and atheistic nonsense that the modern non-Muslim audience doesn't have a problem with.
