Kaleido Star

The best Shoujo anime that aired before 2005

A selection of animes with the USA as their main setting. Some anime do a better job depicting this setting than others. Some opt for a accurate as possible depiction, others take an idealized view, while others make you wonder if the creators have ever been to or even seen America.

Shows that Masami Okui has sung in, has been credited in, or is plainfully obvious that it's her. (ex: Akazukin Chacha)

Kinda unpopular anime that for some reason are unpopular and more people should watch it.

As far as I'm concerned there's an anime about pretty much everything if you look hard enough: diving, underwear design, insurance investigation (yup!) and don't even get me started on cooking. So there, picked titles with main characters directly involved and at least some focus on whatever they're doing for a living or a hobby or both.

Part two^ https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30206 (it's a work in progress though)

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.

Animes focused on the world of entertainment, the music industry, different types of disciplines and art.

For the most part one entry per series. Subject to change as some are unfinished.

This is a list of anime that I feel would be good for those just starting out their anime journey. All the anime are very easy to watch and thus fit what would be good for someone just starting out.

Def : Through the eyes of a woman, women are seen as people with feelings and intelligence. The focus isn't necessarily on what the eye can see but on what the heart can feel.

These are very safe for me. TW for Nana and Perfect Blue as it treats sensitive topics.
Hope you enjoy:))

My humble takes on the best Shoujo/Josei drama,comedy and romance anime :)

Step into the mesmerizing world of "The Show Must Go On," a dazzling anime collection that harmonizes showbiz, music, and performing arts. Delve into the journeys of passionate individuals as they navigate auditions, electrifying performances, and forge unbreakable bonds. Witness their resilience, triumphs, and the magnetic power of their unwavering pursuit of the limelight. With drama, romance, and an indomitable spirit, this collection echoes a resounding message: the show must go on, no matter what.

Shoujo anime that may contain body horror, cosmic horror and various horror elements, serious topics such as rape and suicide. They might use different kind of storytellings most of other shoujo anime doesn't and more likely to have philosophy. Often well developed main characters, old and completed series.
