Sora yori mo Tooi Basho

When someone is passionate about something they can make anything interesting. Whether its some crazy dream like going to space or something you've never heard of before like playing the Koto, their contagious passion radiates off the screen and hook us in. This list of shows the different way that people persevere and follow their dreams. Since most Shounen shows has this trope such as becoming the Hokage or making it to Koshien, I'll be skipping the more superficial and generic motivations unless it had an interesting twist to it.

Some of my favorite wholesome anime with minimal drama :]

This stack is a collection of anime that are either set during winter or convey winter vibes (for example are set in a cold region with snow/ice).

We've all experienced that frustrated feeling of enjoying an anime, only to find out that the rest of the show will never be fully animated or it has a horrible, rushed, incomplete, unsatisfying ending. Here is a list of anime with endings that are so fulfilling and complete that they will leave you with nothing but a heart full of contentment and/or bittersweetness. List was created through collective data from multiple websites of people's answers as to what shows are considered to have satisfying endings.

when exams are over and you wanna enjoy the summer

(supposedly child-friendly and pure)
(this list is in no way complete and will be revised over time)

shows with penguins! still a growing thread.

My personal recommendations for amazing "SOL" anime that have subtle/intensive feels and deep themes/ideas.

Kansai-ben, Touhoku-ben, Hokkaido-ben, ... Japan is rich with their dialects, accents and expressions. I find certain charms to these and will try to maintain this stack adding animes involving some of these dialects.
It might take me some time to gather series and regions but I will try my best.
If you have suggestions, my comments are opens |ω･)ﾉ
(will try to take time to inform where's the dialect are from)

Animes with a female protagonist or primarily female cast.

If you are in search of an anime featuring a lively female cast that promises an entertaining watch, then this is the perfect choice for you guys. :)

cute, relaxing, nostalgic, and sometimes doesnt even need a plot

invokes feelings of tranquility / sentimentality / catharsis


watch it during the day or before bed so you can relax -

just dont watch if you dont want to like it in the first place

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.

Most of these anime should make you cry or just feel emotional. All of these anime are great if you want to have a good cry or just want a beautiful story.

This title captures the essence of the list, emphasizing the exploration of human emotions, relationships, and personal growth that these anime series offer. It highlights the profound impact these shows can have on viewers by tugging at their heartstrings and taking them on emotional journeys through captivating narratives.

This is a counterpart to the my magical realism coming-of-age stack. Here, I'll be listing my favorite traditional coming-of-age stories, shows about growing up that take place in a down-to-earth representation of the real world without any fantasy elements. Like with the previous list, I'll be using the first season of the show to represent the entire series.

Yes, there is something of a MAL equivalent in Japan.

There's a lot I'd love to know about the site (and share with you) but I cannot understand everything on there and the site doesn't seem to have a Wikipedia page which is wild.

Anyway, here is Anikore's top 50 anime based on score ranking. If you would like to see a stack for 50-100, do ask.

-----
Notes:
- All top 50 have very high scores (like all of them are 9X.X/100), whether they are as good as the score indicates is another story.
- This stack is in the same order as Anikore's order.
- "Hyouka" is in joint 49th place with "Sword Art Online" and "K-On" but landed on page 3.
