Sword Art Online

Miscellany for the fellow trash enjoyers + other stuff besides the usual OPMC
Nothing stops them from doing what they do

Characters here usually (but not limited to):
* Give zero damns about nobody/Do what most lack the balls to (including you know...( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))
* Will stop at no length to achieve their goals
* Are themselves (e.g. has a highly defining trait in the show/to viewers)
* Are OP (inc. charas extremely skilled in any field or all-capable), or have plot armor to the point it's silly

Gradually shuffling out harem & OPMCs in favour of variety/lesser known shows (There's another stack right there --> if you want that generic stuff)

shows I like to watch somtimes, even though I know they are pretty bad... It's like junk food to me you know... your body needs garbage sometimes...

Approachable shows that require no prior knowledge of anime to appreciate. Determined by lack of tropes, lack of fanservice, resemblance to western media, and short length

If you were a child in Australia in the late-2000s to early 2010s, then you might remember ABC3, and all the anime they used to show. These shows got me to start watching anime, and will bring a sense of nostalgia to anybody who used to frequent ABC3.

I'm not including ABC ME stuff because ABC ME will never replace ABC3 in my heart.

I'm probably missing some shows, but this is what I could find and remember.

Not all animes are full of love or make you happy. But there are animes will make you feel excite, thrilled, and feel the adrenaline rush. Who wouldn't like action stories? Action shows can be always exciting, especially when it comes to anime. These are my recommendations and collection for action animes.

Anime series with the most OP Protagonists!
Most of these are Isekais or VRMMOs where the protagonist enters a new world and gains incredible powers, but the list also includes protagonists who were born powerful or became powerful in their own world.


Who do you think would win in a battle between these protagonists?

This stack contains non-isekai fantasy anime that you could easily mistake for being an isekai.


Isekai means "different world" and is a Japanese genre of portal fantasy and science fiction. It is a bit hard to define, but generally revolves around a person (or multiple people) who are transported or reincarnated into another world.
Since this definition is fairly broad, you'll find some shows like "Sonny Boy" or "Bakemono no Ko" that are technically isekai, but may not seem like it, as they do not share the most common tropes that you'll see in other isekai anime like “Death March”, “Kenja no Mago”, “Isekai smartphone” or “Mushoku Tensei”. While these shows are not completely identical, they do share a number of tropes, like having a male protagonist enter a medieval fantasy world filled with monsters and magic where they either start with powerful abilities or slowly gain them, similarly to progressing in a fantasy RPG. It is also common for similar isekai shows to include game mechanics like ability stats, skill names, UI screens or even an infinite inventory. Another common trope is for the protagonist to be a chosen or summoned hero who goes on a quest to save the world, ending up with great powers, great riches and a harem of love interests.


This is a list of shows that could be mistaken as isekai since they share a lot of the most common tropes, but missing the element of being transported to another world.


A great example is “Danmachi” where the protagonist already exists in a fantasy world, has a unique and powerful ability and explores a dungeon full of monsters, gaining new stats and skills as though he was the protagonist of a fantasy RPG. Other examples include powerful protagonists being reborn within the same world or shows mostly taking place within a VRMMO.

Feel free to send me a message if I’ve included an actual isekai by mistake, or if you have any suggestions!

Anime series that take place inside a virtual game world, often by playing a virtual reality game (VRMMO) with other players, or by being transported into a new world with videogame rules, RPG stats, levels and other game-like elements.
The first shows in this stack are pure VRMMO anime where the protagonist plays a VR game, while shows further down the list are other types of virtual worlds or isekai worlds with game mechanics.

A compilation of anime that are good starters for people that want to start watching anime...

... And also to show to your friend/cousin that you want to convert to!

They are all kinda short, so you don't scare anyone or get scared with big stories on a first impression.

Data is from personality-database.com

Let's face it, we all have that one friend who has a prejudice against anime.

"Only kids watch anime"

"Anime aren't those smut movies on adult platforms are they?"

etc...

Feel free to show exactly that kind of friend this list and maybe you will have a new "nakama" in some weeks :-)

Hold on, I know. Some people will never get the wonderful taste of anime and this is perfectly fine. Yeah well, everyone has their own personal preference, but you should have tried it at least once.

! This stack contains series & movies for every age group and gender, so please read through the short synopsis of your choice so you don't throw in the towel after the first episode !

I hope you have fun diving into the world of anime :-)

(Feedback & suggestions for improvement are very welcome).

If you're tired of the clichéd "Meet > Fall in love > Get together" plot, this is for you, as the couples in this anime are already together before or by the end of the first few episodes!

Anime that has the smoothest animation/art style that you shouldn't miss. Something with many frames per second as well as beautiful, vibrant colors, that you don't have a single moment where you'll feel bored.

A great soundtrack can really set the mood and elevate your watching experience, it's one of the reasons why anime is so enjoyable to me.

This list is suited for any anime that has caused me uncontrollable crying at some point through it. Please send any recommendations too!
