Includes all OVAs/specials on MAL.

Anime adaptations of various visual novels. Their total number is clearly more than the allowable limit, so I tried to add mainly adaptations of novels by well-known brands (Key, 5pb, Aquaplus), or those with well-known adaptations. Given the many sequels, spin-offs, and versions (especially in the case of the Fate series), I added only very first anime in the franchise.

Anime based on games from Leaf / Aquaplus.

NOT an exhaustive list. 50 TV anime adapting visual novels/ eroge with a male protagonist, usually with romance or a harem. Went for a generic sample, excluded series too exceptional/ distinct (Higurashi, Fate/Stay Night, ef: A Tale of Memories., etc.). 5k members minimum.

The school chime that is everywhere
(This is only a list of series I've seen/remember since the stack creation date. It's likely less than 0.1% of anime that have it.)

Useless stacks are my passion :^)

(Anime version of this stack: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/47658)

Oldish anime featuring characters that evoke the 萌え (moe) reaction as per the standards in the early-to-late 2000's, when the so-called moe phenomenon was at its peak in Japanese wota-culture. The anime I've listed here vary greatly in terms of genre, subject matter, and popularity, but they all hold the moe factor in common (in my opinion, anyways.) Some of the popular series have resurfaced here in the Western side in recent years as part of an internet-born aesthetic known most commonly as "animecore."

*If you're not familiar with the concept of "moe" or would like to learn more about it, I also recommend reading these great books on it:

Anime that are NOT available to watch outside of Japan LEGALLY through streaming services.
Stack made in collaboration with ReSeinen. The criteria for addition are found in the former three parts. But a TLDR:

- Only Japanese anime.
- Anime from 2000 onwards.
- Must appear as unavailable both in TheStreamable and LiveChart.me
- Must not be a purchase-only anime.
- No kids demographic.
- It must NOT be available to stream OUTSIDE of Japan.
- Official YouTube (or similar) uploads, free streaming services (Pluto TV, Plex, Tubi) and official websites available OUTSIDE Japan count as legal streaming services, in these cases it doesn't get added to the stack.
- Must not be lost media (Example, Kick Off 2002)
- If the anime gets licensed for streaming, it gets removed from the stacks.
- Not mandatory, but the anime should be preferably done by a relevant studio. (Down there we see anime made by Madhouse, OLM, Studio DEEN, ACGT, J.C.Staff or Shaft for example).
- It is recommended that the anime has full-length episodes, that is, 20 minutes or more.
