Versailles no Bara (Movie)

I think we all know what lot of modern anime are missing these days.

New (to Anime) franchises or remakes of shows and movies that could be amazing


Last updates:
- added Anime announced before 2025
- Fall 2024 are now at the bottom since they are currently airing
- Summer 2024 anime have been removed
- added anime from ANIPLEX and KADOKAWA Anime Festival



Stats (start 2023):

right predictions (shows were received well): 18
wrong predictions (shows weren't received well): 3
neither right nor wrong: 10
good shows missed: 9

neither right nor wrong means: not as good as hoped for, but still good / was liked in it's targeted audience, but not as much by others


List of previous predictions: (https://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=899138)

A continuation of my previous stack, "Anime Based on Significantly Older Manga", exclusively including remakes. The manga must have been at least 15 years old when the anime released. Organized in ascending order by length of time between manga and remake.

List is incomplete. If I am missing any big ones, let me know. Thanks to everyone who has helped me add to this list.

Original version: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/10046
Second remake version: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/58981

Only movies that are not related to tv series

This includes Shojo, BL, Seinen, and Shounen. Although Shounen and Seinen are usually targeted at a male audience, there are some shows which I think more attract a female audience instead ^^
Also some new shojo that will be airing over the next 1-2 years. I'm so happy that there are new shoujos / female-targeted series coming out instead of just more Shounen romance 😭.

--> Link to Part 2 because the Shoujo gods have blessed us with more shows. https://myanimelist.net/stacks/32081

Shows, OVAs and movies with Historical European fashion, setting, or both.
Still being updated. Feel free to message/comment if you think something needs to be added :)
Mostly 19th century, with a few exceptions (noted)

The Year 24 Group (24-nen Gumi/Nijuuyonen Gumi, also called the Fabulous Year 24 Group/Hana no 24-nen Gumi or the Magnificent Forty-Niners), is a group of manga artists who rose to prominence in the early 1970s. They are credited with introducing complex themes such as psychology, sexuality, and politics into shoujo manga, which until that point was primarily simple stories for little girls written by men who would migrate to male demongraphics as they gained notability.

Their name comes from the year 1949, or the 24th year of the Showa era, in which several members were born. Which artists merit inclusion is a matter of opinion, with the strictest including as few as just Hagio, Oshima, and Takemiya, and the most liberal including mangaka influenced by them and those who worked as their assistants.

These are the animated series and films based on works by the Year 24 Group, or which they were somehow involved.

Anime series that appeared as manga in shoujo magazines between 1970 - 1979

Upcoming/unreleased anime with potential to be absolute bangers and even game changing for the medium.

Basic Criteria:
- not a sequel
- Remakes are eligible
- Spinoffs are eligible if they are loosely related enough to the original.

This will be an endlessly ever growing and changing list being updated regularly, adding in new promising releases once announced and removing ones that have already started or finished airing.

This stack is for tracking all of the upcoming anime for 2024 and beyond that haven’t had a season or any media for at least 5 years. We are so back.

Anime to look forward to

This is intended to be an exhaustive list of anime based on manga that were serialized in "Margaret" magazine.

Characters who are enneagram type 1w2 or 1w9 according to Personality Database. Inspired by @flaresherbert's Interest Stacks for the 16 MBTI personality types.

This stack is intended for shows with female protagonists of various demographics that try to represent girls outside of gender stereotypes or any "traditional" archetypes. Tomboys, nerd girls, the most ordinary girl next door, or even hardened female otaku. If you are interested in shows with unusual and lively female MCs, then this is the place for you.

An addendum of titles I'm interested in that are missing from other stacks. Mostly 2020s & upcoming.


Very loose definition including old franchises with frequent projects, sequels with 5+ year gap, adaptations of older Western media, new projects, etc (basically anything a fan who hasn't seen a project in ages could be excited for lol)
