Anime where kid-adjacent characters accidentally get adopted (little to no blood relation)

Anime that are the best I have seen in their sport.

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

Adolescence is the most significant period of change in our lives, a fleeting yet intense stage where we begin to discover who we really are. It’s the moment when innocence starts to fade, and experience takes its place, shaping the identity and personality that will accompany us for the rest of our lives.

This collection brings together anime that capture the essence of growing up through real, relatable stories. These series dive into the emotional, social, and psychological struggles of adolescence and young adulthood, exploring themes like self-esteem, anxiety, loneliness, trauma, personal growth, first love, passion, and the search for purpose.

With powerful messages, life lessons, and moments of introspection, these stories reflect the beauty and complexity of coming of age, a journey of change that defines us and pushes us toward the future.

Fun to watch because protagonist got talent in what they do!

Anime that feature female rivalries that are NOT based in romance (i.e. a rivalry purely based on two girls having the same crush. I didn’t include these bc there’s a lot of them in love triangle type stories so I don’t find them that interesting lol). I will update this as a watch more and get more ideas! Feel free to dm me suggestions <3
Special thanks to some friends in Discord servers who gave me ideas for anime I haven’t seen yet :P

There's A LOT of anime coming out these days so here's a collection of 2020s anime that I think are worth watching or are well regarded

Each entry will have a brief description for anyone who wants to know what the anime is about. Underneath I will go into more detail about why I think its worth watching without any spoilers.

This stack will be updated every season at the very least

Sequels are excluded

I tried to put together a list of sports (or sports-style) anime featuring women's and girls' sports that don't lean overly much into fanservice/ecchi stuff. Pickings were . . . Slim.

It would be nice if manga like Crimson Hero, Aozora Yell, Girl Got Game/Power!!, and other girls' sports manga got anime.

A cool list of some Shojo and Josei sports manga: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/55928
