Majo to Yajuu

anime that have hot male and female (and sometimes nonbinary) characters that remind me why i'm bisexual

Animes that usually take place in Europe.
Most of them are usually in Europe or France.

Part 2 of my list of anime which are considerably low in typical tropes.

Part 1 - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/6133

Eighteen-hundreds. The century of noblesse oblige and fantastical mysteries taking place in sublime surroundings. A feeling of eerieness in the air might also be present.

I've taken the liberty to include anime with supernatural and mythological themes also. As long as they fit the vibe.

This is a stack of Anime about the themes of Revenge and Vengeance.

Only the first seasons of each show will be included in this stack.

If you're a fan of Revenge themes, feel free to check out these Manga/hwa-based Revenge stacks: Action Manwha About Revenge |and| Unadapted Isekai/Fantasy Revenge Manga

I couldn't think of a good title, but I think you can see the theme of this stack.

This is a stack of Action Anime about Magic that have an Urban Fantasy setting. Some common themes in the series might include: Magic schools, Fighting monsters, and Swordplay.

Most of these series will be set on Earth.

Only the first seasons of each series will be included.

While there are plenty of old mangas that have the specific Emo-Punk art style or themed, there are not so many in anime.
I tried to look it up myself and couldn't find a list Emo-Rock-Punk themed anime, besides the popular ones that everyone knows like Death Note and NANA.

The "Emo" or "Punk" in this Interest stack is defined by the characters' outfits, their lifestyles or their surroundings (the setting era).
Cyberpunk, Steampunk, Lolita excluded.

Honorable Mention: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Update:
-- added Glass Reflection, Gigguk
-- added AH Brandon Reviews season playlists - each list will accumulate the weekly episode reviews as the season goes by

Update:
-- started adding first impressions: AH Brandon Reviews, Mother's Basement, Otaku Spirit
-- caught up with some pre-season entries, including some hashtags


This stack consolidates watch recommendations for the Winter 2024 season from several YouTube critics/commentators. Stacked in alpha order.

Solo Leveling definitely led the way with the most pre-season hype, but out of nowhere, Gushing Over Magical Girls has produced a ton of reaction after the first episode aired.

------------------------------< Pre-season >------------------------------

These are recommendations based on hype, buzz, trailers, and sometimes the reputation of the creative team.

We're only half way through Fall 2023 and videos looking forward to next season have already started to appear. Like last season, ViniiTube is first out of the gate.

ViniiTube 1.07M subs: "Top 10 Most Anticipated Anime of Winter 2024". Covering new and returning shows. VT doesn't rank his picks so I'll just note they are anticipated.

GiggukVODs 78.2K subs: "Picking EVERY Anime I Watch in Winter 2024". 3 hours, 47 minutes. If there's an edited version, I'll take a look but no way I'm working my way through nearly 4 hours of YouTube video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTUzuAzQbkw

Probably Pretentious 11.9K subs: "Every Anime You Need To Watch | Winter 2024". A general run-down of new and returning shows that they are watching this season. I'll note any pithy comments on the appropriate show.

------------------------------< First Impressions and Episode Reviews >------------------------------

AH Brandon Reviews - added Episode 1 initial impressions.

Gigguk 3.56M subs: "Winter Anime 2024 in a Nutshell". G comments on selected anime from this season. Not ranked or rated. He doesn't explain how or why he chose the shows to comment on, but I think it is because he had something amusing to say, not because they are somehow "good". No chapter markers so I guesstimated time hacks from the transcript.

Glass Reflection 584K subs: "I Watched EVERY SINGLE NEW ANIME of the Winter 2024 Season..." Covering new seasonal anime. No sequels. No continuing or returning shows. Rating: KEEP, GR will keep the show on his watchlist. Rating: TOSS, GR will toss the show from his watchlist. Rating: HOLD, GR will keep the show on his watchlist for at least a few more episodes, the implication being unless it does something worthwhile, it will get TOSSed. GR didn't cover "Fluffy Paradise" and "The Unwanted Undead Adventurer".

Mother's Basement 1.34M subs: "The BEST Anime of Winter 2024 - Ones to Watch". Ten shows worth watching, plus the Bargain Bin (anime with a couple bumps and bruises on them). The list is not ordered or ranked. [aside] MB explains a couple of terms I have to take note of: "real robot" anime imagine mecha as mass-produced tools of warfare in contrast to the more fantastical, often sentient "super robots" that come from space to protect earth from aliens.

Otaku Spirit 21.9K subs: "Top New Anime So Far After Watching Everything!". Top 19 new anime after watching the first three or four episodes. "Oh my gosh, the thirsty anime fans are winning, winning, winning, winning, winning, winning, winning."

------------------------------< Mid- and Post-season Reviews >------------------------------



Updates to this stack will continue as more videos covering next season are released.

All or at least most of the witch anime entries on MAL. Only included the first seasons/entries. Some shows only have single supporting witch characters.

Created: 20/11/23

While 2022 and 2023 both gave us an outstanding amount of new and original anime, what will 2024 bring us? Fortunately I'm here to create a list of shows and movies that I believe will define this year for new anime. I have not read the sources for anything I'm listing, meaning no manga insights, light novel spoilers, or visual novel validations. Everything listed below is based on whether the entry synopsis, poster, or title intrigues me, or whether I know of something that has made me excited for this show.

Criteria:
- The entry has to be a newly airing franchise (specifically not a sequel/prequel season), remakes are fair game though.
- The entry has to start airing within 2024 (meaning Frieren is going to miss this list unfortunately).
- The entry has to end it's season/cour by the end of Winter 2025.
- The entry has to be listed on MAL.

This list was made before the start of the Winter 2024 season, and is a reflection of the shows that were announced to be airing at some point in 2024.

mystery/ supernatural/ suspense/ detective/ crime series

Animes which got featured in the Kazoku Project

Long haired anime boys gotta be my favourite gender. This is a love letter to all the hot anime men who have long hair (and maybe also boyfriends - not all of them though!).

Part 2. (part 1 here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/25186)

For people who are dead tired of MC's who are dumb as dirt with no competence in anything, only succeeding thanks to luck and "power of friendship".

This list features anime where protagonists are highly skilled, confident, or overpowered. Succeeding thanks to their own abilities first and foremost.

Includes both female and male protagonists. I don't discriminate. A kickass MC is a kickass MC.

I won't be adding sequels, only the first season. Characters and themes of the show don't usually change from one season to the next. In the rare cases they do, I will mention it.

You also won't find any non-Japanese anime here, unless there's a Japanese localized version. I need my anime to be in Japanese.
