English dubs that I found to be really good and are at least comparable to (if not better than) their subbed counterparts. Part 1 - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/885

This is a list of anime that Quentin has either watched and liked or anime that he would most likely enjoy, based on his filmography of non-linear narratives and overall taste of foreign movies, for example.





“I want to have the fun of doing anime and I love anime, but I can’t do storyboards because I can’t really draw and that’s what they live and die on.” Quentin Tarantino.

As much as we love the whole "Cute Girls Doing Cute Things" and I do as well, this is where we showcase these Anime TV shows, movies, etc... when the ladies are being badasses.

Nothing is more sexy than seeing a strong lady kicking ass and looking great in doing so... so, here we go:

I once made a list of Jazzy soundtracks I found in anime so I decided to put it here. Feel free to send me any suggestions.

List of anime with attractive aesthetics and story for young and old. They stand out for having a western or remarkable visual aesthetic from the rest.

animes set in different parts of the planet

The shows I picked have, in various ways, changed and shaped the person I am. Some I look back and realize I needed to see it in that time, but I don't feel that way anymore. Some just have very important and memorable moments that I refer back to often.


Interest stack for those who grew up on the internet, in particular to ways the internet has changed them.

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.

Anime that bang

animes que se passam ou tem partes no Brasil, ou ate mesmo referencia ao mesmo

Shows don't necessarily need to be about high stakes, fatalities, harshness or mind wrenching philosophies to make one contemplate their life and, perhaps, reinvigorate the will to live better.

This is a collection of works that while might not share anything in common on surface - have delivered on that hard to put a finger on feeling that makes us be glad to be alive or just revives a small part of that wonder that one loses overtime - be it through infectious optimism and passion or seeing characters prevail through profound suffering.
Shows here are everywhere from the things mentioned above, exquisite beauty or to the most light-hearted stuff that oddly strikes a chord with you in an existential way.. or just simply makes up for a good time, because it's in those moments that we stop to appreciate what we have and can still have while spinning a little vignette of hope into being.

As for the shows that didn't make the stack - it's most likely due to something else already filling the slot whilst delivering the same point across better. It's very vague and some shows might be surprising to see on a list like this - but it does make sense once you experience it. Just gotta be openminded enough to welcome it.

I've added some seasons to some of the entries or straight skipped over some - this is due to the fact that certain parts of a franchise often touch upon specific subjects, themes or emotions better than it's prequels.

This originally had over 80 items... but then I realized you can only do 50. Oops?

As much as I love Kidou Senshi Gundam Thunderbolt, I couldn't include it because most sites don't count it. Feel free to let me know if I've missed any!
