anime made by and for INFJs. strong Ni. but different from INTJs, their Fe & Ti feature prominently.
if youre coming from MBTI or 16personalities, there may be an unexpectedly large amount of Ti, and presence of Se, since their thing is pretending only the two topmost functions are relevant. INFJ function stack: Ni / Fe / Ti / Se

Ni x Ti:
- underlying principles taken to their logical conclusion
- explaining why some abstract causal relationship (Ni) leads to such and such outcomes
"this thing is going on, wich implies such and such"
- often detective-, horror-, mystery style quest/riddle for underlying mechanic, cause, system
- time travel with complicated plot structure
- setting's underlying mechanics are carefully layed out. and then slowly uncovered.
these underlying mechanics are, to the Ti user, internally plausible/logical. different from Te, wich is external; info taken from the world.
examples= sonny boy, erased, steins;gate, highschool of the elite

Ni x Fe:
- conflict management is about talking it out & humility (Fe people are all about the ego), rather than hot warfare (Te)
- figuring out who has the moral highground vs who needs to apologize, is a solution
- checking excesses from unhealthy egos
- character's egos & responses to egos are displayed with a a lot of nuance and realism
- psychological trauma, psycho-sexual trauma, traumatic childhood
- where do character motivations come from? (spoilers: its trauma, or unhealthy egos)
- character motivations change (for the better), egos heal, traumas heal, people humble themselves
- trashy ones (solo leveling) know how to appeal to the viewers ego (MC is haughty without beeing haughty)
examples= 3-gatsu no lion

Se x Ti coming through
... a perhaps surprising amount of attention on physical-, how it works- stuff. especially for the Shinichiro Watanabe animes.
- gorgeous-and-comfy art
- animation is distinctly fluid
- explore a mystical, rich world, with original mechanics
- atmospheric direction
examples= made in abyss, mushishi, but also psycho pass, cowboy bepob, samurai champloo, violet evergarden
screenplay is distinctly Ti: personally-internally plausible/logical moreso than it is realistic, meaning info gathered from real world (Te)


------
notes:
ISTP share all cognitive functions with INFJ, their anime are quite similar actually.
