GKIDS is an American film distributor based in New York with, according to the Los Angeles Times, a focus on "sophisticated, indie" animation. GKIDS releases critically acclaimed mostly hand-drawn, international films—such as the works of the independent Japanese anime studio Studio Ghibli—to North American audiences. GKIDS also distributes computer animated and stop-motion films in addition to hand-drawn ones, as well as American films by independent filmmakers. The name is said to be an acronym for "Guerrilla Kids International Distribution Syndicate".

In this list are those anime that have been distributed by the distributor GKIDS.

Titles labeled Certified Fresh™ mean they have a Tomatometer score that's in the top 10% of anime that I've watched. The Tomatometer (ala Rotten Tomatoes) is calculated by the percentage of MAL users who have rated an anime an 8/10 or higher. See Google Sheet for more information: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1661rTFjlvMFahJh5jwqScDe5BiysSU0Vav7NjeGlkPc/

animes about productions and creations of media content (Mangas, Animes, Movies, etc.)

Little insight into anime and manga industry.

Sometimes in large and very realistic way, sometimes smaller and less realistic.

Anime with girls who are: weridos, freaks, bitches, a bit gay, terrible, or all of the above.

Need I say more.

Standalone movies from 2020-Present.
Some prequel movies are included: Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and Fruits Basket: Prelude.

The Arts are made up of three types: Performing Arts (Music, Dance, Theater, Cosplaying, Acting, etc.), Visual Arts (Painting, Drawing, Film Making, Animation, Video Game Creation, Photography, etc.) and Literary Arts (Novel/Light Novel Writing, Manga/Doujin Writing, Lyric Writing, Journalism, Magazines, Editing, Dictionary Writing, Ghost Writing, etc.). While Performing Arts and Visual Arts have tags on MyAnimeList, Literary Arts do not, so this interest stack is rectifying that. Literary Arts have a long history with anime like the other two art forms, so this includes a wide variety of them. It may also include some that are about being passionate for literature rather than writing itself. Some series are excluded if they lean more towards Performing Arts or Visual Arts than Literary Arts, such as Kodocha, Saekano or The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. While some series may have major characters who are novelists, it needs to have Literary Arts be an important aspect of the plot in order for it to be included. Also, there will only be one series per franchise for the sake of variety.

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.

Sometimes u just get the random urge to watch something short but self-contained yknow; Around one-hour long or less; Still updating

The "Scotland Loves Anime" film festival takes place annually in Glasgow and Edinburgh. It was started in 2010 and includes the "Golden Partridge" jury award and audience-voted awards.
