Animes sang by Tomoko Tane

The criteria here is simple: Anime released in any year, with under 15,000 MAL Members, and which I've rated a 6 or higher.

Now that I'm including anime from any year, I've lowered the MAL member threshold. The rating threshold remains at a 6, because sixes are still pretty good.

It is perhaps worth noting that I rate things entirely on gut feeling. It's just, "I like that, that was good, it gets a 7.", that's the whole process. I can also find enjoyment in just about anything and there's very little that bothers me.

An assorted stack of anime series focusing on Human-Robot relationships and interactions. The relationships depicted may or may not be romantic in nature and can encompass philosophical themes of compassion, morality, co-existence, and violence in some cases.

For anime with sequels, only the first seasons of each have been included in the stack. The genres include (but are not limited to) Drama, Slice-of-Life, Romance, and Psychological.

Anime with Cyborg characters have been excluded from the list, with the exception of Ghost in the Shell because of a major plot point.

Obviously they got no source material, so the list contains anime which aired and got no upcoming sequels or prequels.
