Do you create art, literature, music, food, or physical goods? You will probably relate to the people in these shows!

Everything in this stack has a plot or themes about creators and their relationships to the things they create. The creators don't always have to be the main character, but in most cases, they will be.

Not all entries from each franchise will be included, to give me more space to add different shows. The theme doesn't necessarily need to be about art, but that was where this interest stack was originally meant to go. (Some of these shows will be "sports" anime with the sports in question being particularly artsy.)

If you have any shows you think would fit in here that I didn't include, it's either because I haven't watched it yet or because I ran out of space in the stack. Drop by my profile and leave a comment, and I will be updating this stack as I watch more shows, and maybe a sequel stack will be somewhere down the road.

You may or may not like these anime, but you should definitely try them.

Most depressing anime and anime films.

These openings are the most unusual openings among all openings. They might either tell you nothing about what the anime is about or tell you in the most criptic way possible. They might use unusual music or animation.

This list will always be in alphabetical order.

If the ratings on my profile tell you nothing else it should tell you this; I am very a harsh critic. My average for animé and manga are both in the 5's and, considering how many titles I've completed, will likely always be there. If I rate something a 6 or higher I really do think it's worthwhile. So everything in this stack is something I would recommend at least trying.

This stack is for all of the animé that made me or almost made me cry. Just because a series is listed here does not mean it was depressing. Some of these are mostly happy save for that one story or scene which made me well up. All animé in this stack are animé that I have finished and given a rating of 6 or above. This stack will be updated as I find new titles. Make sure you have lots of tissues.

Need I say more.

good luck.

Anime where the protagonist can see things that others cannot see; ghosts, yokais, monsters, etc.

animated series that you need to give a chance to include in your list (obviously from those I have seen, over time I will include more masterpieces)(not movies).

Here's a list of some anime which I found tossed a decent array of feels at the viewer/s. I tried my best to leave out most of the more obvious/well known titles out there, such as Anohana for example, with some exceptions. I mean, some titles are just too good to not include in a list. Also, that's not to say I don't like Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, but rather it is one of the better ones that I wanted to use as a more popular exception. I'll try to remember to continue to add to the list as well.
Enjoy!

Series or films that I find somewhat reminiscent of Makoto Shinkai's works, whether in the art or themes. I'd like to keep this updated, so please send me your suggestions as well :)

All anime are tier 1 or above

This list is for extra entries that were not included in the main list, such as anime sequels and alternative anime adaptions. Go to the main list below for full details:
