Hanebado!

Stuff that is either obscure/unpopular, janky, wildly inconsistent or noticeably cheap (pick any combination), but somehow makes things work and be good anyway (typically against the odds). Characterized by having a MAL average under 7.

Various sports compiled into one list of anime. If there are multiple TV-series with the same sport, be warned I just chose the one with a higher popularity. However, there are most definitely other sports anime you should check out such as Slam Dunk, Megalo Box, Ahiru no Sora, Tennis no Ouji-same, All Out!!, Ashita no Joe, Major, Ryman’s Club, Blue Lock, etc.

I have decided to make this stack because for some reason I keep finding and watching weirdest girl's club animes. It's WIP. Don't take it too seriously, and I hope you will find something fun to watch!

Competitive girl sports

Most expected sports animes won't appear. Purely subjective, duh.

And yes, the three first animes are adapted from the same magazine.

Derived from AniFem's seasonal recommendations from 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 that weren't among their yearly top picks.

See the website for their pros and cons per title:

Thunderbolt Fantasy was also among the Fall 2018 recommendations, but isn't listed on MyAnimeList

Includes Sports anime with epic moments that gives a ton of feelings.

Sports anime with (at the time of adding) less than 100k members and/or a rating under 7.00 that I think deserve more attention and recognition. (Always a WIP as I continue to watch more sports anime!)

This stack is intended for non-shoujo or josei shows that have a female protagonist while avoiding the traditional objectification, sexualization, or other possible issues in portraying female characters in male or gender-neutral shows. It may still be somewhat problematic or not fit the ideal female representation, but at least it's not related to ecchi or waifu bait things.

I also tried to bypass all-female shows whenever possible, since most of them are objectified and they would be enough for 2-3 more separate lists.

This stack is for Seinen series, where one of the main characters is female.

Sports with only female characters or with some male characters that have nothing to do with the sport in which girls play

can be just one parent or both

Must watches for the depressed, the anxious and the hopeless. Anime that'll destroy your dissapointment on the human race and surely will restore some forgotten hope you had on this sometimes terryfing world. No matter who you are or where you are, we're all going to make it

from the animelon 'about' page:

"Learning a language can be difficult; often times it is boring and tedious, so we want to help the language learning community by providing a more entertaining and engaging way to learn. The idea of Animelon is to provide interactive tools that assist users in learning Japanese as they watch anime. If you love watching anime, why not make more out of the time spent?"

this is part of a series of stacks on the japanese-language-learning-focused anime streaming site animelon. the anime are listed first in order of difficulty ranking according to JPDB, from the easiest (level 1) to the most difficult (level 10), and then by MAL members of the earliest season listed. I will include include all seasons, entries etc. that are available on animelon, with notes that include information on other series entries.
