Aviso: não tenho certeza se todos são battle shounen, coloquei mesmo assim na lista pois vejo algumas pessoas classificando eles como tal.

Imagine you've just watched "Harakiri", or perhaps "Yojimbo", and now you're thinking to yourself: "I wonder how Samurai Cinema would translate into anime" - Next you're scrolling the anime database, and you've searched for anime with the theme "Samurai", only to be met with entries containing people spitting fireballs, and giant robots shooting lasers.

If this is something you've experienced, then this interest stack is for you. I've scoured every entry (as of October 2024) listed under the theme "Samurai", as well as tried to find others not listed there, to fit the following more narrow definition:

"Swordfighting anime set in historical Japan with a realistic setting."

Some anachronism is okay, but futurism like mechas and RPG launchers are excluded. Trying to keep supernatural elements at a minimal. Allowed to a certain extent, but trying to avoid full on superpowers. This list contains no sequels, one entry per franchise only.

Anime might be excluded for other reasons, such as not adhering enough to the style. Also skipping a lot of <~10 minute shorts. Some (most) of the anime I haven't yet seen, so there's a possibility an anime that should've been excluded has slipped by into the list.

PS. "Lone Wolf and Cub" + "Vagabond" anime when??

This stack is dedicated to new or simply other works of famous authors that do not fall under spin-offs, alternative timelines or stealth sequels. I will indicate the author and what they are famous for for each included anime, I hope this will help you expand your knowledge about the works of your favorite or interesting authors. I also tried not to include works for which famous authors simply wrote the script for someone else's idea, but if you want, I will include that in the future.

Shows where the main character's mother couldn't evade the death flags (massive skill issue tbh)

Shows are only included if the mom actually bears any weight on the story

Does not include shows where there is one main main character and multiple other "main" characters, with one having a dead mom (ex. Nijika from Bocchi The Rock, Kyouko from Madoka Magica, etc.)





idfk = not explained at all (to my knowledge)

idk she got sick or something = any sickness that isn't specified

kind of mom = parental figure who is not a biological or legally adoptive mother

This stack is dedicated to historical anime that have significant fantasy elements based on Japanese national folklore. A kind of fantasy chambara. The main criteria were a more or less realistic historical setting and significant elements of Japanese folklore (both natural and magical realism). But if you know of other shows that could be useful for this stack, then feel free to recommend them to me.

animes that are set in a Taisho (maybe shouwa) and earlier era, the stack is more for the aesthetic, that the kind of stories.
some series inspire in chine also made the cut

These are anime that are bright and eventful... chaotic and possibly confusing, but never dull.
