I mean, I don’t know about you, but I’d definitely say something like K-On or Elfen Lied are mainstream

Isn’t Higurashi like the most well known horror anime (not counting horror-adjacent stuff)

Half of the list is pure mainstream, but most of them are really good, so it’s okay i guess.

It would be better to use English titles for an English list like this. Especially for beginners. Most people aren’t going to remember the Japanese version of shows like “To your eternity”.

azumanga daioh and k-on are not mainstream?

I think calling these “not mainstream”, when recommended for beginners, is appropriate. It’s not like OP is saying they’re very underground or anything. But most betginers wouldn’t know 1/10th of these. Nice list

A few of them like **To Your Eternity** is definitely mainstream.

Non non Biyori is one of the most popular slice of life ever made. No slice of life is ever going to be full on mainstream to the level of something like dragon ball but it’s definitely up there for a slice of life. K On even more so.

To Your Eternity has one of the strongest first episodes of any show. Just so chilling, so sad.

I could’ve sworn Azumanga and Nichijou are mainstream.

Recommending Aku no Hana for romance is crazy. No one watches/reads Aku no Hana for the romance.

As people have pointed out, these are mainstream. Format looks nice though

Serial Experiments Lain for beginners is some sick work, OP

Recommending kuzu no honkai as romance is the most evil shit I’ve seen all week.

Some people are nitpicking anyways, but it’s better than I was expecting going in. Thought for sure half the chart would be like tier 2 mainstream. lol There’s a few on the more popular side, but eh. Decent variety, good comedy section, and I like the inclusion of Aku no Hana. 👀 (Though it’s not particularly romantic…)

OH THIS LIST IS FOR BEGINNERS. Awful awful title gore
It read like “anime that is not for beginners and is not mainstream”

Woah Kotaro lives alone is such a heart breaking for a beginner. Hope they won’t traumatize
