Shangri-La

What I look for the most in an anime above everything else is high-quality writing. That's not to say that manga, visual novel, and light novel adaptations are written poorly; in fact, there are some that have incredible, masterfully-crafted storylines. I have simply personally found that some of the most unforgettable series for me have been novel adaptations.

Given that there currently exists no anime search option for this, the basis of this interest stack is to provide a list of full-length novels that have been adapted into series or movie format.

*Disclaimer: not enough space to add children's classics to this, go check out Nippon Animation's studio page if you want more!

Deception can be scary. Is the world you live in really what you perceive? Do you believe in what you see or see what you believe? What is the truth and what is the lie? Is anyone benefiting from the lies and who is struggling from the truth? If everyone believes in a lie, does the lie become the truth? What happens if what you think is wrong has been the right one all along? Will you switch sides, or will you stay?

Part 1 - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/18500

Anime with emo or whatever 2000s nostalgia. Wide-spaced too huge eyes,large forehead, tiny mouth, moe-blob. Some has y2k fashion or catchy tunes. Some are not to watch with other people unless you know they're fine with it. I haven't really watch any of them so I only picked based on thumbnail art-style. Always read reviews + genre tags before watching.

This stack will feature anime with broad ecological and environmentalist themes.

For an anime to be considered environmentalist, it must primarily communicate a message regarding the condition of nature; moreover, it should portray nature as suffering, whether from pollution, deforestation, ecosystem collapse, or similar crises, in a manner that resonates with the Japanese environmentalist movement.

Feel free to recommend another anime I might miss.
Let's start with anime that is not in the database.

From Seitarou Kitayama lost anime: Physiology and Ecology of Plants (Shokubutsu seiri seitai no maki) 1922
source: Promiscuous Media_Film and Visual Culture in Imperial Japan, 1926-1945; pp.160

*Note: For this interest stack, The Anime Encyclopedia has been extensively used.
*Also, gratitude to anime-planet.com for their environmental tag. Without it, a considerable number of anime would be included here.
*Most of the descriptions were co-written using LLM technology, specifically Microsoft Bing Copilot, with the generative prompt: "Hi, can you write me a short synopsis about an anime named ..... with environmentalism themes?"

Update: On 18.8.2024, after watching the third part of the @WooKong1 anime history documentary, I added a few anime titles that were discussed in its ecological section. Overall, I highly recommend the video. A not fully animated movie mention in the video Godzilla vs Hedorah (1971)

Anime that feature transgender (trans girls, trans boys, non-binary, and/or intersex) characters.

The list is still under construction

A stack that contains shows that somehow showcase or explore the interface between humanity and technology. Entries must be grounded in recognizable tech to at least some degree rather than relying purely on Clarke's Law.

Strange and unusual places that aren't your typical environments. No isekai. (probably)

I define alternative comedy as humor derived from something either being unintentionally hilarious, intentionally taking the piss, very unconventional and specific with its approach to comedy, or just pure insanity. The best is always a combination of sorts.
