Imouto sae Ireba Ii.

Anime that has an otaku as the main character.

If the other kind of Slice of Life is more drama heavy, of course there are light ones. The shows will make you feel comfortable, lighthearted, and giggle at the same time. These are the fun Slice of Life shows you might actually enjoy. If there's a rich-flavored cake, of course some people can enjoy or prefer plain vanilla ones.

home sweet Alabama for you

romance anime i liked (mostly male mc)

Bygone days spent as an otaku, often captured in OVA format, have been lost as trends shifted. It’s undeniably melancholic to see the evolving portrayal of otaku in a meta-sense and slowly watching the dwindling importance of Akiba-kei.

This will serve as a continually-updated list of anime that I feel are representative of "otakucore" being a type of show that promonently features otaku characters as one of the main characters, and depictes the zeitgeist of otaku culture/Akiba-kei during the time of airing. Some are less obvious as otaku-oriented, but still contain many elements that are appealing to databasing-types (computers, figures, video games etc.)

Genshiken, Daicon IV and Otaku no Video are the essentials :3

(Still adding WIP)

This is the second part of the stack I created which includes all romcom anime I had hunted. Well, 50 entries maximum is not enough to include all romcom anime I know so if you are interested to see what entries are in part 1 you can visit my account and see my created "interest stacks" for the 1st part of this stack. All hail the romcom god!

This is a weird concept for a list, but I think it's worth putting it out there. These are anime which I consider help understand anime better because of their referential humour, commentary on otaku culture (whether it's anime or gaming), exploration of the industry and twisting of classic tropes in self-aware ways that put them in perspective. Also included a couple shows which are not necessarily meta or referential, but they are here for being aggresively "anime" in nature, if that makes sense. With how over the top they are and/or how stereotypically otaku their concepts are, I think they give a good idea of how anime has developed.

Note: If you truly want to understand otaku culture and anime history, I think an absolute essential is a short show called "Blue Blazers". It is live action however, so it can't be added here. I strongly recommend you check it out, even if the humour can be cringy, because of how deep of an insight it gives into the history of anime and the industry.

Anime with girls, who really, really, really, really, REALLY like someone, but too tsundere to admit it, if that’s what you want.

Where siblings, cousins, or those of close relations have romantic thoughts about one another, whether that's a good thing, or a bad thing. Either way, it's a type of love story some may enjoy.

Do you create art, literature, music, food, or physical goods? You will probably relate to the people in these shows!

Everything in this stack has a plot or themes about creators and their relationships to the things they create. The creators don't always have to be the main character, but in most cases, they will be.

Not all entries from each franchise will be included, to give me more space to add different shows. The theme doesn't necessarily need to be about art, but that was where this interest stack was originally meant to go. (Some of these shows will be "sports" anime with the sports in question being particularly artsy.)

If you have any shows you think would fit in here that I didn't include, it's either because I haven't watched it yet or because I ran out of space in the stack. Drop by my profile and leave a comment, and I will be updating this stack as I watch more shows, and maybe a sequel stack will be somewhere down the road.

Here are some anime that I think will cheer anyone up who is having a bad day.
These are really wholesome and funny anime that along with being one of my most loved anime these anime also helped me when I was having a bad time.

(the following reviews may include spoilers)
also KEEP IN MIND: many of these are appropriate for adults only!

stories of siblings being more than just siblings with one another as a main focus in the series (not necessarily romantic, though a lot of these are). everything goes from mild brocon/siscon to almost hentai. (no actual hentai is included.)

these anime are organized roughly in order from most wholesome to most perverted. i also include a short synopsis of each one along with some useful info, hopefully it can be helpful in picking a new show to watch. just keep in mind that not all of this is worth watching, i just want to give you all the options.

i only included the main entry [with one exception, for good reason] if a series has multiple seasons/ovas/movies etc. (no stacking the list with random ovas here!)

ALSO NOTE: this list is under construction, all the entries at the bottom without a synopsis i have yet to watch and categorize.

i've moved some entries to https://myanimelist.net/stacks/35625

Writer's block got you feeling down? Draw some inspiration from these anime featuring writers from all walks of life, with both masters of their craft and aspiring amateurs alike!

For those with little sister fetishes, here are some Animes in which there is love between or on the one hand between sister and brother

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.

As the title says, I created a stack called "Avant Garde and the Weirdest Box", and some weird Anime was not listed in it, so they will be listed here. Of course, there will also be Avant Garde anime that are not popular or not known by many people.
Well it seems like the real weirdness never ends...

list of anime about making anime, manga, video games or any artistic multimedia content.

if I m missing out something. Onegai Shimasu well let me know as just for now is what I remember that are on the theme.

Romance anime that are set in the (kinda) real world, adapted from light novels.

This list is still WIP...

Ah, yes. Dumpster fires. They smell terrible. They look terrible. However, people like me still can't take their eyes off of it. What makes them so addictive?

Trash comes in many forms. The good trash. The awful trash. The ugly trash. I'm trying to focus on the most entertaining dumpster fires. This makes it so that shows like Eromanga don't even end up on this list.
