The Third: Aoi Hitomi no Shoujo

Animes set in desert or isolated areas

A list of action anime where the main fighting protagonist is female.

The following will be excluded -

1. Magical girl anime. There are too many of them. Besides there is a dedicated tag for them on MAL so they are easy to find. If an anime despite feeling like magical girl, doesn't have this tag, then I will add them.

2. Gender-bender anime. For example, a lot of Isekai anime where a male is reincarnated in a female body and vice-versa.

3. Anime where the protagonists are mainly female. For example, Lycoris Recoil, Release the Spyce etc. There are too many, so deserves their own list.

4. Anime where all combat is done by controlling something. For example, mecha or vehicular combat anime.

This collection of series, movies and shorts represent a specific mood, expressed within the anime media. Their pace is most likely slow, and are usually focused at the complex emotional web that surrounds the worlds and characters that are within them.

In each of them the feelings which are translated onto the viewer are those of comfort, but also anxiety, affection, as well as sorrow. The balance and the depth in which they are presented varies from show to show as well as from the personal perception and worldview that each viewer has. Their main unity point is that they tuck on our heartstrings and provokes our empathy towards the unwinding chaos and turmoil.

These selected series presents us relatable, even if based on fiction stories - which even within it's bleakness and darkness, holds a silver of hope and warmth or which conceals within their bright and vivid colors sublime, gentle, but ever present feelings of despair and sadness.

Some stories aren’t about the destination, but the journey, the experiences we gather and the people we meet along the way, from vast meadows where the wind dances through the grass, to forgotten temples crumbling with time, frozen mountains that steal your breath, shadowy forests where the sunlight barely reaches, deep caves draped in moss, and lively, chaotic cities where every alley has a story to tell.

A collection of anime where the protagonist travels and explores the beautiful, yet chaotic and dangerous world they live in.

This list includes pretty much every genre.

Some of these also have two or more main protagonists; at least one is female, the same thing.

. No magical girl anime because I don't really like them


Thank me later 😘

Grumpy Jii-san was an anime reviewer and hiking enthusiast. Many of us were fond of him. This is the second part of a list of the anime he reviewed in video order from oldest to newest. They are presented without his score as mild encouragement for you to watch his reviews.
