For those that have good taste.

A good anime isn't good because of it's genre. If it's good, it's good. If a show is on this list, it's worth your time.

There will be some shows on this list that were super mainstream and that you've probably already watched. You'll notice that there are a lot of shows that haven't made the list either. So, if you havent seen a series on this list or was hesitant about it, this should give you the push you need.

Every single show here is worth your time whether its an isekai, fantasy, slice of life, sports, comedy, or romance.

Even the harshest critics of anime will still enjoy the shows in this stack, and i know because im one of them.

If a series is on here, it means all seasons of the series are worth watching (or gets better to where it's worth watching) unless stated otherwise. (basically one punch man and yuru camp s1 is all you need to watch).

i like to watch series with short episodes when i am drinking my coffee/redbull in the morning, or during a quick break from studying. c: here are the ones that i enjoyed, and some others i plan to watch (only listing first seasons)

almost every short series has a lower average rating- i assume its just because, for the most part, there is less of a plot/storyline, less time to love the characters, and less emotion portrayed in the short episodes/seasons. they are still enjoyable in their own way though!

(i've got a bunch more on my crunchylist but cannot be bothered to list them all... also, if you have more recommendations, please send me a friend request + message!!!)

This is a stack with all (maybe) romance animes. They are all recent and i won't put second, third seasons (because there's only 50 spaces :p).

I'll try to avoid the Love Triangle ones and harem ones (they're not my favorite subgenre of romance sooo i'll try to not put them here) :)


Here we go then.

Watch one episode per week (or 3 days once) with favorite drink/cola in dark and sleep immediately.

You might be wondering, what's the criteria for these stacks/lists?

Well, the MC shouldn't be too annoying or an ultimate cuck who overacts around women (I know, kinda hard to find these men in anime). Fun combat, interesting world and an OP MC, sounds fun.

That said, genres might vary, since not everything has to be about fighting. Being "overpowered" doesn't mean it's always about fighting. Some people are blessed with OP life by the luck of the draw (you know, beautiful/rich people).

Love transcends time and prejudice. Sometimes two souls meet at different stages of life, yet beat in perfect harmony. In those moments, one truth becomes clear: when the heart chooses, age fades away.

A collection of romance anime where the main characters have a significant age difference (age-gap).

This stack provides upcoming anime from MangaUP that aired in 2026.
