Anime with characters who consistently show actually autistic traits - stimming, obsession with very specific things and themes, social phobia, unwillingness to change routines, monotone or stereotyped speaking, strict habits, lack of interest in personal exchanges, difficulty building/maintaining relationships, unusual manners and gestures, selective but very strong empathy etc.

Curated by yours truly, late-diagnosed autistic male in his 30's, eager to see more adult autistic representation.

As this list becomes more and more popular (thanks everyone! Feedback appreciated!), I'm adding a friendly reminder: Autistic people are as diverse as neurotypical people are. This list could contain every character from every anime ever made and still be accurate as autistic rep! I just add the ones who "score higher" in showing more common autistic traits.

Are you a fellow autistic person and your most relatable ASD anime fav isn't here? PM me/comment on my profile; I'll appreciate if you add a small (4-5 lines at best) profile focusing on their neuroatypical traits. Try not to add spoilers, though!

These anime and donghua feature members of a royal family. They may be rulers, royal heirs, or people who have become royalty by other means, such as marriage, divine decree, or simply taking the throne. In rare cases, an exceptional individual will actually build their own kingdom from the ground up. While some characters enjoy the wealth and privilege their position affords them, others may be trying to distance themselves from their royal responsibilities. More tragic figures include survivors of fallen kingdoms and exiled royals fighting to survive and, in some cases, reclaim what they have lost.

The anime stack of mostly all-male casts which is original or adapted from mangas/novels. No romance anime here (yes there are some who fell in love but romance isn't the main plot). I won't include the sequels because the stack is limited to 50 so you gotta find them out by yourself.

Part 1 (idols, games, multimedia projects): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/2078
Also check out pretty boys doing sports: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/2079

Do you know what is your "ambition"?

Many parents do not teach their children the value of "ambition", so most of us become adults without ever having asked ourselves this question, and that is a fatal thing.


Watch this series and pay close attention to the content! Despite being colorful and friendly series, they encourage self-critical thinking and teach about setting your ambitions, also the value of friendships, and when it should depend on them and when not.


Please, study mainly for your own sake, make healthy friends, push them and let them push you. Surround yourself with people with strong ambitions!

Have luck!

The title speaks for itself.

Animes que desejo muito uma continuação.
Eles são bons, por que não uma outra temporada?

wholesome, comforting titles to watch and rewatch when depressed or exhausted; lots of slice of life, iyashikei, and cute, mindless fluff
