What is this?
AnimeCodex is my personal anime tracker. Once I made MangaCodex I figured I might as well make one for anime as well.
Some items are franchises instead of individual shows. It made more sense to group related things rather than have 5, 10, 50 items for one franchise (the “50” isn't a hypothetical, Lupin has even more entries than that).
Works are marked for status: in-progress (), finished (), and dropped (), though if I drop a show I'm more likely to just remove it. If a work's unmarked, then I haven't started it. If I mark a franchise as finished then that means I'm done watching it (on my own time, at least), even if I haven't watched every part.
Other stuff:
- I watched a bunch of stuff years ago that I haven't listed here
- tags may be inaccurate for works I haven't started or finished
- I didn't include credits, because I'd have to add way too many and besides, the data exists elsewhere in more authoritative forms
- covers mostly come from AniList, scaled down and converted to 20%-quality WebP
Tags
Some notes about some of the tags:
Info on individual tags
- academia
- When something's being studied in an academic, higher-education way
- action
- not just for any story featuring significant physical action, but those that focus on it (slow-mo, sakuga, etc.)
- art
- anything about the practice and creations of an art form, rather than the style of the anime
- big
- anything about big scales of space and time
- cooking
- manga with actual recipes, or at least focus on process and ingredients (even fantasy ones)
- historical
- works set in real time periods significantly before the time the work was created, specifically those that put a lot of detail into presenting the era (counter-example: Mushishi doesn't make much of the specific period it's set in, even though it's set in historical Japan, so I haven't given it this tag)
- humanimals
- animals as stand-ins for humans
- work
- stories with a focus on workplaces, conditions, politics, and practice, not just that involve characters who're employed
- xenoscope
- Japanese works about real-world places outside Japan and people who aren't Japanese (or the same for Korean, Chinese, etc.)
