Sequels to shows or anime series—Japanese, American or from elsewhere—that need greater context before watching are not included. Those that are included can be enjoyed on a standalone basis—and I've taken the decision to remove films that only do a brief recap at the beginning that may not give the quality of context necessary for enjoyment. The rationale for this decision is so that viewers can finish this list without having to see a multitude of other episodes and films.
In addition, series recaps are also not included. These decisions have been made to keep the list consistent and achievable. Please feel free to create your own list if you disagree.
List is updated at the beginning of every month.
