The furry fandom, for those that don't know, is a fandom dedicated specifically to anthropomorphic characters. The notion of animals with human characteristics has captivated people for much longer than animation has existed, as is evidenced by legends told by cultures all around the world. Anthropomorphic characters are loosely defined as characters that aren't human but possess human traits. Such characters have been widely featured in animation the world over, and Japanese anime is no exception. What follows is a list of shows that feature these characters, and whether you're in the furry fandom or not, you might find something you like here.

Anthropomorphic foxes are almost always tricksters, and Zorori is a cunning character in typical fox fashion. Kaiketsu Zorori follows the adventures and antics of this crafty canine as he tries to use his wits to obtain the title of King of Mischief. However, his plans rarely go off without a hitch. Rather than creating chaos, he often winds up causing more good than harm. This is a series primarily aimed at children, and is relatively simple in terms of its plot. It is still enjoyable to watch if you're looking for a lighthearted series to enjoy , and if anthros are what you're after, you're in luck.

9. Cat Shit One

Cat Shit One dvd
[Information episodes=" 1 " aired=" Jul 17, 2010 "]

A fast paced military action flick, with cute little anthropomorphized rabbits playing the leads. It might sound farfetched, but that's exactly what Cat Shit One is. While only one episode was released it remains one of the most aesthetically stunning Japanese animations featuring anthropomorphized characters. The CGI used is exceptional, and because of its astounding production quality, Cat Shit One is a feast for the eyes the whole way through. Be warned - it is short, and if you're used to longer movies this may leave you wanting more. The characters are all anthropomorphized animals and as such, it earns a spot here.

[Information episodes=" 21 " aired=" April 7, 1986 - August 22, 1986 "]

Gin is still a pup when he witnesses the death of his father at the hands of a bear. This isn't just any bear, though - Akakabuto is a beast that is feared by all that are unlucky enough to cross him. This means that Gin will have to gather an exceptional team of canines to fight by his side to succeed where those before him have failed and end the fearsome creature’s reign of terror once and for all. Though the characters are physically humanoid, the emotional depth they present as canines gives this show an appeal to the furry fandom. Ginga Nareboshi Gin has a cast of engaging personalities, is a wonderful retro series that has stood the test of time, and certainly deserves a mention on this list.

4. Seihou Bukyou Outlaw Star (Outlaw Star)

Outlaw Star dvd
[Information episodes=" 26 " aired=" January 8, 1998 - June 25, 1998 "]

Gene Starwind and Jim Hawking go from operating a small business to becoming fugitives almost overnight. This series is set in a colorful, futuristic dystopia, and features an appropriately eccentric set of adversaries on the tail of these two unlikely heroes. Gene and Jim would be inadequately equipped to handle the challenges that ensue but luckily they are in possession of the most powerful spaceship in the universe, The Outlaw Star. This series makes the list for featuring a furry fan favorite as a protagonist - Aisha Clanclan. Though at first glance she might appear to be a cat girl, she is in fact a proud member of the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire, an entire race of cat-people featured in this show. Between her physical traits and behaviors, she can definitely be considered an anthromorph.

3. Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space

On the first leg of her trip, her ship breaks down and she finds herself making an unintended pit-stop. What awaits her there, and will she ever safely reach her destination? This film is quite a head trip - "bizarre" doesn't do it justice. Though the animation may appear simple, there are many deeper themes that are explored by this award winning picture.
