For me, Yuru Camp is one of them (and almost an obligatory answer).
- Ascendance of a Bookworm
- Delicious in Dungeon
- Mushi-shi
“Comfy”? My go-to answer would be Aria (the Animation, the Natural, the Origination), but lately, that has been matched by Natsume Yuujinchou as my go-to when I just want to relax. There’s also “Tanaka-kun is Always Listless” but it has enough humor that breaks the “relaxing” mood. Bakaramon might be a better match, but it isn’t really fitting the bill.
Thus, my answer would be these two:
- Aria (the Animation, the Natural, the Origination)
- Natsume Yuujinchou
Am I too okd when I say Spice and Wolf?
Winter outside, warm tea and blanket, and watching Horo is the most cozy time of the year.
Isekai Isakaya - short miniseries about a western style restaurant that has its front door connected to a singular spot in another world.
Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater - it’s one of the awwducational animes that I feel like the Japanese government pays for to introduce younger generations to traditional/outdoorsy activities. This one is about fishing.
Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost - it’s just a moe so sugary sweet it hurts.
Kuma Kuma Kuma bear! - it’s a fluffy isekai that doesn’t have any real stakes or anything too severe happening. I’m working through the light novel since I heard it finished… And honestly it’s all so pleasant.
Ya boy Kongming - silly musical anime that just drops some three kingdoms lore into the modern day. I don’t recommend dubbed as they didn’t localize the rap battle towards the end… And also didn’t subtitle it.
Space Dandy
It’s new but I still rewatch it multiple times a year, one punch man.
It’s nice to watch an anime that isn’t revolved around sex.
Nichijou, Frieren, Spy x Family, Initial D, & Wangan Midnight.
Konosuba. I love those idiots.
Mushishi
- Seitokai yakuindomo
- Tanaka is always listless
I have many.
The top spot is probably shared by Interviews with Monster Girls and Machikado Mazoku.
But then:
Bofuri. Bocchi the Rock. Hinamatsuri. Girls und Panzer. Gabriel Dropout. Sakura Quest. Patlabor. Mitsuboshi Colors.
Not an anime, but Bee and Puppycat is peak comf.
Non Non Biyori for me
Haibane Renmei (kind of)
Not a comfy watch but the world has this nice charm to it.
I definitely get where you’re coming from. NieA_7 was my first thought, which is another yoshitoshi ABe work. There is something cozy about his work, even though it can be intensely emotional at times.
That’s my 11/10 anime, but I find the atmosphere of the show more oppressive than comfy. Though I can’t deny that Old Home has a certain charm to it.
Sleepy princess in the demon castle is mine!
Yuru Camp is definitely the top one for me. Then Girls und Panzer and Bocchi the Rock. I pretty much just cycle through those.
