Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume

Anime with less than 150k members (at the date of creation of this Interest Stack) that are well rated and deserve to be watched by many more people.

All anime connected with Key, Tactics, and Jun Maeda, only excluding One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e - True Stories, which is a hentai.

Anime that either employ a cyberpunk style or contain elements of it, and are dark, moody, grimy and/or nihilistic.

Do you know who is the culprit when you burst out of tears when watching Clannad, Angel Beats, or Little Busters!? Yes. The one and only the baseball and romance chad, Jun Maeda. He's a storyteller, composer, and one of the members who founded Visual Key. His notable works were Clannad, Little Busters!, Air, Angel Beats, Charlotte, and more. Not only that, he is also one of the main composers of music that you can heard from his animes or VNs, as well as the OPs, EDs, and insert songs. He's the one who is responsible for making tear-jerking romance dramas, and made me cry like a child when I watched Clannad. And now, this is my collection and recommendation for his best and notable works of Jun Maeda.

These adaptations of narrative-driven video games are recommended for fans of science fiction.

These series will make you cry your heart out and you will love it, I swear

100% purity here! Not a single bit of nonsense relating to sex!

I can't believe I had such a hard time making this stack >:'[ I'm a poor Christian boy


((If you find anything here with a sex joke please contact me immediately I want this place to be a light in the ecchi-filled darkness ahaha))

Part 2 to my previous No Sex Jokes or Ecchi stack here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/4654

Don't have time? These are the anime for you! Anime with less than 6 episodes. Their stories are complete (you won't feel like it ended with a cliffhanger) and really enjoyable. For people who love anime but don't have too much time to watch them.
*Ayakashi includes 3 short horror stories (separate from each other). I recommend the 3rd one (episodes 9-11).
*Aoi Bungaku includes 6 short stories (separate from each other). You can watch either one and you will enjoy it.
*The Grimm Variations includes 6 short stories (separate from each other). You can't really go wrong with classic Grimm fairy tales.

Anime based on Visual Novels and Games

Anime featuring girls with blue hair with a bias towards light blue hair.

This interest stack lists all the anime whose characters are featured in the TV short Kaginado by release order. Specials, OVAs, etc. not included.

For the first six months of 2023, I will be watching ALL of the anime adaptations based on Key’s visual novels, because I don’t play that kinda stuff but I want to experience all of these stories anyways! Aside from February, April and June, as February also has whatever I can watch of Clannad, April has both Planetarian and Little Busters! and June has all three anime original series, one anime adaptation is watched a month. Began on January 16, 2023, and is currently ongoing.

Anime that can completely change your perspective on life.
