Yawara!

With the intention of keeping this as comprehensive as possible, I encourage anyone reading to help me find more anime and update the text, particularly of those anime I haven’t watched. You can comment this publication in my profile or send me suggestions/alternative text via PM.
----------------------------------
Para que esta lista sea lo más completa posible, animo a quien le apetezca a que me ayude a encontrar más anime y revisar/reescribir el texto que acompaña a los animes, sobre todo los que no he visto (mandadme vuestras sugerencias por MD). También podéis comentar esta lista en mi perfil.



In 1614, the Keichō Embassy arrived to Spain in their trip to Rome. When they came back after failing their mission, they came back and rested in Coria del Río (Seville) before returning to their country, and some Japanese stayed there to live. In their honour, the surname “Japón” came to be, and that marked the beginning of the good relationship between Japan and Spain, particularly Andalusia... or so we thought. Recent investigations have shown that the origin of the Japan surname doesn't come from the Keichō Embassy, but the feelings of deep friendship between the cultures was real.
Four centuries later, Spain continues to be an inspiration for the pinnacle of Japanese culture, which of course is anime. Actually… there are not that many related to Spain, are there? This stack will delve deep into anime with some sort of relationship to Spain so that you can surprise your friends with some obscure knowledge that they probably will not appreciate.
All of these anime have something to do with Spain. Due to their prevalence, references to paella specifically (it’s rice with things anyway), bullfighters with no further mention to Spain, or the simple appearance of a Spanish flag or the name of the country appearing in the background will not make it to this list. Almost every other reference is fair game.

En 1614, la Embajada Keichō llegó a España tras su viaje a Roma. Cuando volvieron de su infructuosa conversación con el papa, se quedaron a descansar en Coria del Río (Sevilla) antes de volver a su país. Algunos japoneses se quedaron a vivir, recibiendo el apellido Japón y marcando el comienzo de las buenas relaciones entre los dos pueblos, particularmente con Andalucía... o eso se creía. Estudios recientes han determinado que el apellido Japón en España no se originó con la Embajada Keichō, pero el sentimiento de amistad entre ambas culturas sigue siendo real.
Cuatro siglos después, España sigue siendo una inspiración para el máximo exponente de la cultura nipona, que por supuesto es el anime. Aunque, pensándolo bien, no hay muchos animes que se inspiren en España. En esta lista se profundizará en aquellos que sí existen para que puedas sorprender a tus amigos con trivia que muy probablemente no les interesará.
Todos estos animes tienen algo que ver con España. Debido a lo común que es, no se incluirá anime cuyas referencias se limiten a paella (o arroz con cosas, según se mire), toreros sin mayor mención al país, o banderas y/o el nombre España en el fondo de la pantalla sin mayor relevancia. Casi cualquier otra referencia es válida.

Various sports compiled into one list of anime. If there are multiple TV-series with the same sport, be warned I just chose the one with a higher popularity. However, there are most definitely other sports anime you should check out such as Slam Dunk, Megalo Box, Ahiru no Sora, Tennis no Ouji-same, All Out!!, Ashita no Joe, Major, Ryman’s Club, Blue Lock, etc.

Includes Sports anime with epic moments that gives a ton of feelings.

This is the second part of a collection of articles where I aim to explore the evolution of anime related music. This part of the list attempts to collect a list of most iconic performances on the "New Age" of anime music.

The term "New Age" used in this list refers to a phase after the "Anime Songs" phase. During this phase there started being more "tie-up songs" that that essentially were "tied" to the animated series in order to gain more exposure and market reach to the song itself. This was an interesting approach for many as it opened a new model on how to sell these products to the market.

The theme songs essentially dropped that strong connection to the series demonstrated by their lyrics and the emotion invoked by the song related to the series. Instead of that the song and the lyrics talk about the series or the characters with an indirect manner forming a supposed link between the performance and the series in question.

The supposed link consists of "the spirit" of the performance which refers to the indirect nature of the performance in relation to the series itself, and "the product" which refers to the stand alone nature of the performance itself as observed without the supposed connection to the initial series. The root of "the spirit" can be said originating from the earlier phase.

These types of theme songs were more common and popular after 1980s. The defining moment that can be said had influence on changing the theme songs away from this model is the popularity of the series "Urusei Yatsura" and how it used to promote a several "tie-up" songs that in contrast to "Anime Songs" by their nature don't necessarily have anything to do with the series, story or the characters as far as the direct approach goes.

I will write my thoughts on each of the entries on this list to further explain why I think the series and the theme songs included as a combined package have attained "iconic" status when it comes to the scene of "New Age" anime music in contrast to the "Anime Songs". I will also give a score related on how well "the spirit" and the "product" perform parallel to each other while complimenting the series as a whole. The series are ordered based on that score.

The term "iconic" in this list is defined by the popularity and how deeply established the spirit and the elements of the performance relating to the spirit establishing the product are in addition of them being supposedly intertwined with the series as a whole experience.

Yes that series has a game/ is a game. As I collect anime games I want to help people find games for series they enjoy. No this is not related to mobile games, maybe I’ll do a stack for those in the future though🤔 These are tied to Console and PC systems, I won’t list specifics though but searching “[insert series] game” will help you find it. There will be multiple parts coming out!

animes that involve combat according to sporting disciplines.

This is a list of anime television series by episode count for series with a minimum of 100 episodes.

Took a lot of time to make this, hope you found a new show to watch or learnt something as there is a plethora of unique shows in this list.

(still in progress, sort of almost complete).
