Uchi Tama?! Uchi no Tama Shirimasen ka?

Fuji TV's noitaminA (ノイタミナ) late night programming block which currently broadcasts on Fridays from 00:45 to 1:45.

2020 wasn't a good year for us and we all know that. However, it was indeed a good year when it came to anime releases! We had some great anime that came out that year, including Re:Zero Season 2, Kaguya-sama Season 2, Oregairu Season 3 , Tower of God, The Wandering Witch, Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, and Kakushigoto. However, with the huge variety of anime released in 2020, there are some that people might have missed. I have listed seven anime (for now) that I think you might have missed on 2020! These anime might have scores less than 6.5, or member counts less than 50,000. And no, I'm not ranking them.

Boy version of the CGDCT genre. Mainly silly comedies and slice of life.

If you won't judge me I won't judge you...

edit. I realize there are like 50k idol and sports anime that would fit this stack, so for variety sake I'm willfully ignoring most of them

♡『Anime with a cute art style or a cute cast of characters!』♡

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

You've heard of CGDCT before
now get ready for CBDCT!

Not really parallel to cgdcts, there's far less in this category and the line with BL is blur so just a collection of soft BL shows I guess. Halfway through it isn't even 'cute'
boys anymore lol.

Please pm any recommendations you have to add to this, I'll add it :)

The title speaks for itself.

CBDCT, an equivalent of CGDCT (cute girls doing cute things).

The cast of characters consists either predominantly of boys, or only of boys.

Some animes could be BL or have BL hints/fan services.

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

https://myanimelist.net/stacks/20690

Shota & loli romance: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/23125

Anime characters are animals. Most of the Main characters must be Animals to consider in the list.

not all of them are like light and some of them are a bit dark, but they all have cute boys doing cute things so its okay

This stack is for shoujo, josei or any other female-targeted show with a male protagonist. In case this stack is of interest to any of the guys, I tried to select shows with a non-objectified image of the guys first. But anyway, this stack is meant for any audience, so I didn't rule out fanservice shows or BL. Also, some shows, especially idols, usually have a formal female protagonist, but since most of the focus is on the male characters anyway, I took the liberty of listing some of them too.

List of Anime with 11 Episodes or Less

Notes:
1. TV only
2. Movie, ONA, OVA, and other type are not included
3. 1st Season/Part 1 only

Sometimes you want to watch an underground anime that no one else has watched to show your ultimate weeb skillz. Maybe this stack can help you :) If not then welp, you are already a weeb. (Also I'm not saying that all these anime are exceptionally and actually good. Just not that known)

Anime related to animals, where animals have an important role in the story

Notes: I have definitely watched/read the anime/manga that I give a rating
I will not give a rating below 5, Rating 5 for me = 1, >8 = recommended
if it's not good for me, the status "Dropped" and no rating

This compilation stack consists of titles that contains a young male character with animal ears (Kemonomimi)

Some limitations you should know:
▶ Must be main story
..▷ MV, CM, and PV automatically excluded due to this rule
▶ Only first season to show, or season in which the character appears, and have significant role for plot progression
▶ Title should features the character mainly in human form (except for ears and tail) during their cast time
..▷ This means that furry (half-human with full body fur) should NOT be featured mainly during cast time
▶ No explicit content


Extremely niche? yes i know, even i have hard time curating this stack, fr 😔
