They either have unique stories, beautiful animation, and intriguing characters yet they're barely known (400k and less members , but a score of 7.50+)

A list of Rom-com animes. This list include also some animes with serious romance + some comedy focused animes + some drama but not a heavy one.

I wrote a note in every anime I've watched.

Check the other rom-com stacks for more recommendations.

Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/3207
Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/3212

If you crave some light-hearted, sweet, heartfelt romance anime at the moment! Contains little to none drama between the two main characters. This list includes no sequels or side stories.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/10826

This is a stack of comedic and light-hearted romance shows. These shows will stay light-hearted throughout the series, avoiding most sad or drama-related undertones.

If you liked the concept of this stack, you might be interested in a very similar stack, but for manga, titled: Unadapted Light-Hearted Rom-Com Manga (No GL/BL or Fantasy). So feel free to give it a look if these types of series interest you.

This stack is intended for various meta harem anime, which in various ways either give the protagonist some huge number of love interests, or make his harem a literal one, or play it up in an interesting and ironic way. Just in case, I warn you that the stack will also contain some meme shows that are technically far from the harem concept or can not even be considered romance in the literal sense of the word. But more on that later.

This is my collection of animes I find to be cozy, chill, and happy vibes. Oriented towards relatively chill isekai & slice of life-like anime that does not require serious attention to watch. Contains some movies that I enjoyed as well. Great for chilling out on breaks. Putting it on a second monitor while working works too.


I will keep updating this list as I watch more and as my taste evolves. Have fun watching!

3 more seasons

Originally published on March 12.

Expanded to showcase 13 tv series / season. Includes spr/summ/fall.

This stack should include anime with manga-style scenes that could feature voiced dialogue, dynamic panning shots, and rapid cuts. Akin to the FLCT manga scene which was the outset for this interest stack.
Motion comics such as Ninja Bugei-chou and Golgo 13 Selection (1971) will be included until someone creates a separate list.

Feel free to refer me to an anime ad, miss. o(*≧▽≦)ツ

No generic isekai, siscon, or nsfw. originally good potential anime. No sequels

This interest stack is focused entirely on anime that take a break from the usual unrealistic, exaggerated, over-the-top tropes commonly found in the average anime show, and instead offer an entire show that's pretty much as realistic as any TV series with real actors.

These anime don't include anything exaggerated, they're as realistic as they get, and therefore they can be great to recommend to people who are not into anime due to the format being too unrealistic or trope-ridden to appeal to them.

i considered myself to be at an early-intermediate level in japanese studies--until i came to japan. though i suspected i would probably be have over-estimated my abilities, and i had heard plenty of common wisdom about how studying grammar and college-level japanese courses like the ones i had been in weren't ideal ways of actually learning japanese/languages in general. but i didn't truly realize just how little my study of intermediate grammar points would help me comprehend daily life in japan.

as many of the people reading a list like this will probably already know, linguists such as Stephen Krashen (pronounced: 言語学の神様) and Beniko Mason have insisted that SELF-SELECTED READING (or FREE VOLUNTARY READING) is key in the process of second-language aquisition. in (overly) simple terms, they believe that language acquisition begins with input (e.g. reading & listening), and that output, grammatical knowledge, and communicative competence come after an abundance of 'comprehensible' input. but as the qualifier 'free voluntary' suggests, Krashen, Mason and their cohort believe that input must be compelling to the learner--engaging and comprehensible (enough) to keep them interested and driven to keep going.

most of us language learners here on MAL probably have a lot in common when it comes to what we find to be 'compelling' input material/content. i honestly have my doubts about whether it is specifically reading that plays this massive role that Krashen and Mason suggest--i tend to work under the assumption that subtitled video, spotify's lyric function etc. have just as much to offer to language learners. im convinced that its most important that we find activities we enjoy and are likely to make routines of, and keep ideas like those of Krashen and Mason in the back of our minds as we choose from whatever activities our natural inclinations lead us toward. ergo: if you like reading hentai raw, in the name of haruhi-sama i implore you to read hentai raw!!

here are recommendations of anime i've found helpful for japanese study at around my current level or below. most of them use fairly simple language, are great for re-watching, and are probably pretty easy to get a hold of.

i'll order this by MAL popularity, for lack of a better idea.

as always, i would LOVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS LIST! just dm me! and please take any and all information i share with an appropriate of salt--this is all more-or-less armchair linguistics/language learning, and i am by NO means fluent in japanese! lol.

also, while i won't put direct pirate links in the comments for each entry, feel free to message me if you want help procuring anything here, and i'll do my best!
