aka girls with guns.
The genre that isn't.

As seen on fakemorisummer.wordpress.com/2021/04/01/militarymoe-recommendations/ minus the grayzone ones.

Titles in which the characters are piloting flying devices (planes, brooms, etc) within the atmosphere. The characters being pilots is relevant to the plot, and during a big part of screen time there is action in the air.

Added one title per franchise.

Animes which prominently feature female characters with firearms

Shows where ships play some fairly notable part in the story. Stack is biased toward ocean-going vessels. Submarines are also included.

Anime with lolis as main focus or main characters.

For multi season/entry series I added only the first season.

No mecha

In 2012, The Asahi Shimbun announced the 104 TV anime that they considered to be the most representative and memorable of all TV anime between 1963 and 2012. It's a good starting point for exploring general TV anime history, and the shows are all worth giving a shot. The list was not ranked, and ordered by release date.

This stack is dedicated to the most popular, discussed and simply highly rated shows among the west millennial generation. If you were an avid anime fan in the 00s, want to see what was popular with your older relatives, or just learn hits from the past, then this stack is for you.

Warning: Yes, I am aware of the existence of anime from the 90s, as well as their popularity among millennials. But many of these hits have been like this since the time of Gen X viewers, so I tried not to focus on them once again. For many of us, shows like Berserk or Evangelion were itself cult shows from older fans.

Anime with lots of fan art. This includes everything from well-known anime to adaptations of video games to anime popular in Japan to forgotten classics. Data is taken from a certain website with tags as of April 2, 2024.

(Woah, only 24 minutes made apart and already separated by 99 other interest stacks. Cool.)

This interest stack is for the series of anime that are part of the World Witches series, which include Strike Witches, Brave Witches, and Luminous Witches.

For the uninitiated the World Witches series takes place where instead of WW2 happening, an alien race called the Neuroi invaded and caused a bunch of death and destruction (you know, the usual). Under 20 year old girls that have powers (called witches) don striker units which are basically magic propeller engines in order to fly and fight the alien Neuroi race.

The Strike Witches series doesn't take the Neuroi threat too seriously but being the largest series does have the most action. Brave Witches takes the Neuroi threat more seriously than Strike Witches but it still has that silly air about it. Luminous Witches isn't really connected to the main Neuroi plot and instead is more of a slice of life about the Aviation Band.

Apart from panty-shots and "plot", the World Witches series does have some interesting character building, motivations, and development which isn't even found in some of the bigger isekai series in my opinion.

These are series that may appeal to an otaku with an ENFJ or INFJ-type personality.

Not including films. The seasons added are subjectively the best to me. These are not in order.

I'm talking about series that aren't afraid to show gratuitous... culture. Not just a little fan service here or there. Done are the days of upskirt panty shots! A simple Ecchi tag will not stand! These cannot be explained away when your parents walk in the room.
