What is your go-to Anime whenever you want to feel cozy and warm inside? I loved Toradora back in the day, and I am trying to find other anime like it. I also watched Golden Time and Horimiya, and they were both good as well!

Yuru Camp! Just cute girls cooking and camping.

I've rewatched it 3 or 4 times. My other go to for cozy is Girls und Panzer.

I saw this last year because I happened upon it on netflix: Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny Girl Senpai. It’s a bit horny, but it does have a lot of slice-of-life scenes and moments.

Nichijou was the first thing I thought of. It's just so carefree and cute, but unexpectedly wild. I love absurdist humor, too.

On top of that it's the first time I really "got" anime, so it's sentimental. I clicked with it hardcore, and was embarrassed about it for a while.

Just imagine anime night with the bros, watching sword art, and you're the only one who just needs to fit in another episode of Nichijou lol

I could not love Nichijou more.

Mushishi and Kino's Journey

We still go with K-On. Girls doing cute stuff and being kind of stupid is just great.

  • Hidamari Sketch
  • Lucky Star
  • Non Non Biyori
  • Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
  • Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka?
  • Tanaka kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge

Hidamari Sketch is very underrated and is much less well known than it's contemporaries like Lucky Star, but it's basically the comfiest thing ever. Any CGDCT/SOL could work for this (Nichijou, Yuyushiki, Kiniro Mozaiku, K-ON!, ...) but I specifically chose shows with a slower tempo.

Came here to say hidmari sketch if no one else had. But to add a lil more; the anime is created by shaft my OG favorite studio. They're the makers of: bakemonogatari, modoka, 3 gatsu(march comes in like a lion), kino no tabi movie, maria+holic and some others that are popular but i didnt care for like sensie negima, nisekoi, and dance in the vampires bund.

I have been watching Sayonara Zetsubou sensei lately. Also Pani Poni Dash! is an interesting watch.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Zetsubou Sensei has the highest throw-away blink-and-you-miss-it gag rate of any anime I've seen. You need to pause every time the chalkboard is visible to get all of the jokes

Acchi Kocchi. just two oblivious kids crushing on each other in that "it's obvious to everyone except them" sort of way. format wise it's skit based, almost like if Lucky Star had been written to be more wholesome and less crude.

btw, i'd also appreciate recs from any other Acchi Kocchi enjoyers in the thread 😉

As someone already mentioned Mushishi; Natsume Yuujinchou is just so soft! I don't know how else to explain it.

I am old, so 2000s Fruits Basket, as well, mostly, as I actually finished it. I'm really attached to Ritsuko Okazaki's score. I haven't finished the recent series, but the 7 or so eps I've seen, made me super happy, as I wanted a series that adapted the full manga, and it nailed a lot of what I remembered.

OK, one more, as rereading your post reminded me of another romance series: Wotakoi! Sadly a short anime, but the manga has good feels, too.

Silver Spoon is all I’m going to say.

Barakamon. Super cozy story of a man moving to a small island and learning/improving while interacting with the locals (and a bit of a rascal child). Great series. I've rewatched it several times.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Well you definitely have a list of bangers there

Maybe

  • Supercub
  • Tonikawa

The iyashikei sub-genre has always been a hard one to properly define. And there are plenty of debates whether a series belongs to it or not. But there is one thing that everyone can agree on for why their pick needs to be in there: because it makes them feel MAX COMFY.

So, I'd also like to recommend:

  • Otaku Elf - cute shrine maiden antics. Elves are there in the real world. Why? It doesn't matter!
  • Flying Witch - everyday magic. No stakes, no pressure, just day-to-day happenings and witches and magic just happen to be real.

Sweetness and lightning

Single dad and his young daughter cook yummy food together.

She sings a song about sharks at some point. I've seen it 3 times and it's so nice and wholesome.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

How to Keep a Mummy is sickeningly adorable.

Or As Miss Beelzebub Likes, but then I just want an Azazel of my own...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Flying Witch and K-On probably

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Shingu

I always go back to this when I want something cozy. It's kind of weird in that it has alot of global ideas but it takes it at such a relaxed pace it ends up being a pleasure to watch.

My Roommate Is a Cat is hard to beat in my opinion.
