Did someone say relaxing anime? *stare*
Well, the poll is filled with plenty of really good ones.
Yuru Yuri, one of my favorites, while a good chill, it also can be funnily over the top, plus lesbians. Plenty of seasons too, for a nice watch.
Sweetness and Lightning, was another good one, really liked the whole family and food dynamic.
Yuru Camp, god bless.
Natsume’s Book of Friends, highly recommend it, consistent, episodes filled with emotions and great characters, not every episode is perfect, but most of them range from good to absolute tear jerkers.
Non Non Biyori, nothing too special for me, but still overall pretty solid, another chill ride.
Now for my choice.
Amanchu!
Oh how much I love Amanchu, extremely genuine characters with a lot of character development, especially from Teko during the first season, very relatable for me in terms of dealing with new environments, making friends and the like, Pikari absolute earnest personality and the rest of the cast, all well done, the relaxing music and setting near the sea gives the great chill vibe the whole ride, with just enough comic relief in the form of their muppet faces and the like, this quickly became one of my favorite Slice of Life anime, add in its great art style and direction, I just can’t recommend Amanchu enough. Plus the relationship that develops between Pikari and Teko is absolutely adorable and super wholesome.
