This is part 1 of the stack of animes that aired on Canal Panda. A portuguese kids channel that would air shows made for childrens.

This is a list of anime adapted from manga in the Hana to Yume magazine. I'm only including first seasons. Reboots and adaptations of sequel mangas are counted as separate adaptations.

Please let me know if I'm missing something. :D

This stack include all anime that are set in a world similar to ancient greece.

Shoujo--like all demographics--is incredibly varied, featuring a wide mix of stories, genres and themes. Its protagonists are no exception, with different personalities and backgrounds, and having both girls and guys in leading roles. I wanted to highlight some shoujo anime written from a male POV.

Also, I can't attest to the quality of the lower/more obscure series on here (especially since shoujo manga tend to receive pretty trash adaptations). So do keep that in mind.


And I should clarify that Cowboy Bebop and Code Geass are both actually original anime that simply have shoujo manga versions. They both had promotional shoujo manga that began running a few months before their respective anime began airing.
