Aa! Megami-sama! (TV)

My collection for light-hearted romance anime series for romance anime fans. These animes are sweet-tasting vanillas that you can truly enjoy. The premise can be really simple and plain, but they say simplicity is also beauty.

This stack is a collection of anime with gods, goddesses, and/or deities. They can be based on existing beings from different legends and mythologies, or ones that only exist in the anime.

A Magical Girlfriend, exotic girlfriend, supernatural lover, monster girlfriend, or nonhuman woman, is a female (or male, in rarer cases) stock character often associated with romantic comedy anime and manga series, and is sometimes considered a genre of its own, or as the leading lady of the "fantastic romance" genre, which combines the fantasy and romance genres.

Magical girlfriends can be one or many in a single series (always attached to the protagonists). Because of the tendency for rivals to appear even when there is a 'spoken for' lead character and because of the unnatural gender balance among the cast, magical girlfriend comedies are often conflated with harem comedies. A good example of this conflation is 'Oh My Goddess!' which is often confused with one of the prototypical 'harem' titles", despite the short-lived nature of most of the romantic rivalries in the series.

Magical girlfriends initially derived from the US television series Bewitched, which was dubbed for the Japanese market. Sally the Witch was the first anime series inspired by Bewitched, leading to the popularity of magical girls in Japanese anime.

Tired of watching a show about a single pair of main characters? Don't worry, because this is the collection of harem animes that you might enjoy. Beautiful girls frolicking around a single male main character. They say, the more girls in the show, the merrier of pure enjoyment.

A list of anime that I find relaxing and perfect to watch after work. No focus needed, just sit down and enjoy the calm moments.


The list is obviously subjective. Your taste might differ and that's totally fine.

I am only adding the first seasons of each longer series!

Slice of life stories with a supernatural twist, with characters usually falling into incidental perils thanks to supernatural or magical significant others or family members who bring all kinds of magical hi-jinx into the protagonist's lives.

These anime take their time to develop, but once they do, there is no turning back.
Some might appear to have no plot or continuity, taking even entire seasons to develop.

Some of these are tagged as such in AniDB, some others are from my experience watching them.

I am only adding the first season/entry of each franchise

In my rather excursive anime history, I have encountered many series with gender swapping motifs. Some have a recurrent theme throughout the series, whereas others only feature gender swapping plotlines in an episode or two. Because of this, many of these series aren't often tagged or labelled as such. Therefore I've decided to compile them all in one place.

You can view the entries in 'list' format to see my notes. Where a series isn't exclusively about gender swapping, I've noted the specific episodes it occurs. I've also noted whether the gender swapping aspects are either transformation, body swap, or possession. There are no spoilers in my notes; just synopsis details and nature of the gender swap.

Please let me know of any other series that would fit into this stack.

A very basic, yet common trope in anime. A normal guy, typically down on his luck finally meets the perfect girl! She just shows up in his life. But she's not from earth. She's an alien or is some kind of other otherworldly being.

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:

Ah! My Goddess! is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kōsuke Fujishima. It was serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Monthly Afternoon from September 1988 to April 2014, with its chapters collected in 48 tankōbon volumes.

The series was adapted into an original video animation produced by Anime International Company (AIC), and an anime series which aired from 2005 to 2006. Additionally, AIC has developed two OVAs and a film, and OLM, Inc. has also developed an anime series as well.

As of June 2020, the manga had over 25 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-selling manga series. In 2009, Oh My Goddess! won the 33rd Kodansha Manga Award for the general category.

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.
