Togainu no Chi

Series that are not BL but have a rich BL potential and fanbase. Includes some popular shippings and shipping potential between the two male leads.

These are all some of my favorite fantasy Shoujo anime! There’s a lot of fantasy shounen but it’s rare to find people with a huge list of Shoujo fantasy and if they do have one it tends to be a lot of the same stuff. Here’s mine. I hope you find something new to watch. If not, I’m sorry for not being helpful enough. I’ll also be adding donghua (Chinese anime) in here because a lot of them are really worth watching. There’s one anime on here that airs in the fall but I’ve read and am obsessed with the source material and the trailers look amazing so I feel comfortable putting it on here. They are in rank from my highest score to lowest. FYI just because something might be ranked low doesn’t mean that it’s bad, it’s in my favorites list after all. Also, just because these are Shoujo anime doesn’t necessarily mean they all are romances. Enjoy!

Anime based on Visual Novels and Games

Anime where the characters play a game with serious consequences, whether it's for fame, power, fortune, or life itself.

1. Character is hit (usually via a slap to the face)
2. Character holds cheek and/or references their parent


The scene's cropped up in too many places for me to remember so it's time (albeit late) to start tracking them :D

As the title says~

I'm mostly interested in dystopian cyberpunk, but why not throw into some mecha and aliens in the mix.

✔ high bishie percentage (>90% main cast) or main protagonist bishies
✔ very sharp linework/shading cause I'm nearsighted AF

Anime with a high number of Openings and/or Endings!

(Basically) my favourite seinen reccomendations. Gritty and rough and pretty mature, and mostly early/mid 2000s works because the vibe is just immaculate.

When a single OP and or ED song was not enough!

Rules:
-Total OP/ED Songs At least 50% of the total number of episodes. (total OPs and EDs are considered separately, not combined.)
-Each episode must be at least 23 minutes long.
-Different versions of the same song are counted.
-The same song performed by different singers are counted.

This is the second part of the anime, which is visually stunning and has a good art style and animation.Also, this stack is focused on art and animation, so the story can be bad or good, depending on the show .


Part 1 -https://myanimelist.net/stacks/66220

9 times out of 10 it's not tagged because the source material was a light novel or video game (even otome games), with the other time being the mistaken misbelief that BL and GL don't get published in Shojo and Josei imprints. This happens even when said light novels are published under an explicitly shojo/josei light novel imprint (eg Kadokawa Beans Bunko, B's Log Bunko, Kadokawa Ruby bunko, Ichijinsha bunko Iris, Cobalt bunko, Kodansha x White Heart bunko, Fujimi Ladies bunko, etc). There's probably more on the site, but these are what I could remember for now. May make a part 2 at some point.
