Recommendations cherry-picked from the entire Gourmet genre.

(Not exhaustive, and if I've missed out anything that deserves to be in this list, feel free to drop a message)

My collection for light-hearted romance anime series for romance anime fans. These animes are sweet-tasting vanillas that you can truly enjoy. The premise can be really simple and plain, but they say simplicity is also beauty.

A collection of shows for those who love supernatural critters.

Cool, nice, sweet and handsome collection of gentlemen. Romance is optional! ;)

A selection of 21st century anime series featuring characters who are adults. From ordinary office workers to traveling peddlers to superheroes, adult protagonists can have a variety of life experiences and many different ways of living. Young emerging adults may still be trying to find their path in life, while established older folks are more likely to have mastered the art of adulting - or at least learned enough to muddle by. Some adults become jaded over time from repeated exposure to the reality that life is often painful, depressing, and unfair. Others retain a more positive outlook by focusing on their dreams for the future or take a more pragmatic approach by putting all their efforts into improving their lives here and now.

In Japan, foxes say "konkon" and play an important role in folklore. Supernatural foxes may live with humans.
The titles listed here have their focus on humans living their daily lives together with supernatural foxes.

1 title per franchise, arranged alphabetically.

Some kind of romantic relationship between human and non-human (yokai, vampire, ghost, alien, ...)

Anime where the leading couple is from two different species.

The anime stack of mostly all-male casts which is original or adapted from mangas/novels. No romance anime here (yes there are some who fell in love but romance isn't the main plot). I won't include the sequels because the stack is limited to 50 so you gotta find them out by yourself.

Just as the title says, anime about food and cooking that are worth your time. Partner to my manga list.

Obviously, not every gourmet anime is on this list- I deliberately left off ones that I just don't like. Sorry, not sorry- you can message me if you think I've made a mistake and I'll let you know why your fav is not on here.

Anime shows that share similar vibes, stories, and aesthetics. Go ahead and search for everything you haven't watched yet!
Make sure to search for extra seasons or special episodes<3

This stack is for people who love the Bishounen/Ikemen art style and/or characters.

Only includes anime i have personally watched and only the first season of them.

Not all of them are quality anime or good, my score reflects my thoughts about the anime but you're opinion may very well differ so don't let than stop you from watching the anime if it sounds interesting to you!

yokai/supernatural - u get the gist.

These are all some of my favorite fantasy Shoujo anime! There’s a lot of fantasy shounen but it’s rare to find people with a huge list of Shoujo fantasy and if they do have one it tends to be a lot of the same stuff. Here’s mine. I hope you find something new to watch. If not, I’m sorry for not being helpful enough. I’ll also be adding donghua (Chinese anime) in here because a lot of them are really worth watching. There’s one anime on here that airs in the fall but I’ve read and am obsessed with the source material and the trailers look amazing so I feel comfortable putting it on here. They are in rank from my highest score to lowest. FYI just because something might be ranked low doesn’t mean that it’s bad, it’s in my favorites list after all. Also, just because these are Shoujo anime doesn’t necessarily mean they all are romances. Enjoy!

The counterpart of beautiful girls and the collection of reverse harem animes that can make you fall in love. Reverse harems tend to be pure and simplistic than the original version of harem. Pretty boys surrounding a simple and ordinary girl, is one of the most young maidens' dreams.
