1. Cast is all-girl
2. Not in the romance genre*
3. Only Slice of life shows[so no action/battle shows].


Split up in multiple parts due to number of entries.


*Updated on 4 October 2022*

Just stated... this is a list of Anime shows with an all or almost all-female or the main characters are ladies Anime shows.

A list of anime that I've seen that I think are good enough to deserve more recognition.

Anime adaptations of various gacha games, that is, basically mobile games of various genres (mostly musical or associated with moe anthropomorphism), where you play to earn points that can be spent on getting limited attractive characters (or cards with them) in a virtual analogue of a vending machine. Popularly, these anime are also often referred to as waifu or hasubendo bait shows due to the large number of attractive characters that the adaptation advertises to entice you to download the game.

You love female idols and their cute performance? In that case, you did everything right! Their music give us joy and happiness right? Whether you are already an expert in this area or simply want to try it out, the most important part is: Enjoy, relax and have fun!

(note: I didn't add the OVA, Recap or their music videos in this list, just the anime itself. I am gonna write a few words about each of them. This list is more or less sorted by rating.)

WELCOME to the IDOL HELL. (and RIP your wallet on figures)

GL and hidden GL animes here only ^^ These are definitely worth to watch (♥ω♥*)

Animes that take place primarily in an all-girls school.

All entries in the ever-expanding "Re" franchise.

This is a stack of Anime which each have a Main Cast of Only 5 Females, no more, no less, and no males will be in these Main Casts. (Creatures don't count).

If you like the types of shows featured in this stack, feel free to check out this stack series: Comedic All Female Cast/CGDCT Shows, as it might contain more anime you would like.

This stack will only contain the first season of each series.

SINGLE COUR anime series consisting of 10-14 episodes. These can easily be watched in a single weekend (or day if you’re dedicated), and are great if you don’t want to get invested in an exceptionally long franchise.

Stack rules:
- No movies or OVAs (an entry may have these attached, but they are either NOT cannon or not required to understand the full story)
- 10-14 episodes
- No unfinished adaptations (e.g. Houseki no Kuni was excluded despite only having one cour, since the ending is very much a cliffhanger which requires a viewer to pick up the manga)

anime which have a duck as part of the cast (this is a very important topic to me)
does not include shorts/OVAs/movies/etc. unless i think they REALLY deserve a mention

These aren’t all necessarily ‘dark’ magical girl shows, just ones which you might not consider to be in the genre upon first glance (in other words, they’re not the iconic and mostly wholesome names like Pretty Cure, Sailor Moon, or Cardcaptor Sakura).

Entries here might not be “officially” listed as Mahou Shoujo, but they share several similarities with the genre (transformations, animal mascots, or girls that are definitely magical in some capacity), and so are at least pseudo-magical girl shows in my view.

Witch anime that I've watched and found on lists and discussions.

As one of the most successful and long-running Magical Girl franchises out there, Pretty Cure has resulted in many references in other works, especially anime. List compiled by tvtropes, precure wiki and partially myself.
