More hidden gems (once again, only ones that ranked below 2000 in 'Popularity' on MAL), though lesser ones than in part 1 in my view, but are still worth checking out. Will continue to fill the missing slots overtime.

Manga Series:

Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/31410

There is also a NSFW series but I'm not linking that here

Anime that portray characters heavily influenced by words. This could be anything from a librarian, a writer, editor, etc.

As well as characters who have troubles with speech, writing, or using words to express themselves properly.

Some anime listed may be included because the book / words themselves take on a life of their own.

Basically anything related to the subject will be included.

Please feel free to contact me if there are any more anime that need to be added. Thanks!

~~~Honorable Mention~~~
- Junjou Romantica, novelist
- Tokyo Ghoul, avid reader
- Mysteria Friends, magical books
- Gosick, Library
- Shadows House , notes and diaries

There are many ecchi list on MAl, so I wanted to make something a bit different. I have always wanted a series that featured fanservice casually, without being overbearing to the point of making the "ecchi scenes" the whole plot of the show. For the most part, I will be following MAL's own listing of what is considered an "ecchi". So some series you see here, might be widely considered an ecchi by the community or other sites, but I'm just following what is listed here.

Characters become much more attractive when there's well written story and character behind them. So I will have a bias towards series with a positive rating/reception in this stack.

All the series will have different levels of fanservice, but they will be prominent in a majority of the episodes. Can range from lots of focus on oppais to full on sex scenes.

Doing a simple search of the series plus "fanservice" should deem you results and allow you to gauge whether you would enjoy the level of fanservice or not.

Feel free to give some suggestions by messaging me. I will continue to update this list often.

Anime series that covers all of the original source they're based on, with some notes.

My 2nd part of realist/semi-realistic art styles in anime.

Realistic or semi-realistic art styles, proper face & body proportions, nothing that looks too cartoon-ish or stereotypical overly detailed big anime eyes or moe art style

Expect the unexpected; this is a line that best describes this list, a few of these titles exemplify it in uniqueness &/or approach while most encapsulate it in story &/or entirely.

Either way, this list represents anime that you may have missed which guarantee to not waste your time... even if you don't like it by the end, there will be no regret of having used your precious time.

Twists & Turns, Shock & Awe, Unpredictable & Unique, Thought Provoking & Unapologetic.

*in order of release date / first entry only for stories with multiple entries*

- there are more out there, I listed my favorites

Every anime featuring the famous line that goes ''What would you prefer first? Dinner? Bath? Or maybe... meee?'' Wording doesn't have to be exact, nor the options, but it must be clear that it is what this is referencing. Entries are in alphabetical order.

Hentai will not be included, but anything else goes. If you notice an entry is missing please feel free to contact me on MAL! Same thing if an entry doesn't belong here, I haven't personally watched all of them after all :)

For brown girls desperate for a lil representation… 🥲

Anime with a specific atmosphere to them (not necessarily a "comfy" one).

There are only TV anime series included. You will not find any sequel TV anime series, movies, OVAs or ONAs.

This interest stack series, "2004-2024: 20 years of anime with 6 or more words in the main title." will be useful for those participating in the AWC / Anime Watching Challenge.
