Fantasy anime with magical cozy feeling
Fantasy anime with magical cozy feeling
I'm in need of a magical, cozy anime series that gives off an old adventure vibe with fun and comedy moments. Everything I play, watch, and read currently is so depressing, so I need something with happy moments.
If it is necessary to put my anime-list on here, let me know. It is a Excel file though. After a certain site died, I decided to do it myself.
I was not sure whether, I should post here or in another community. Apologies in advantage of this is not the right community.
Frieren is a bit melancholic sometimes but its overall a very positive and fun story imo. Good VA, animation etc
Highly recommend Frieren. It's definitely one of the best animes to come out in the last few years.
Thanks, I will check it out. I have heard a lot of good things about Frieren as well.
Flying Witch
Sousou no Frieren
The Little Witch Academia
Edit: Isekai Izakaya
I quite enjoyed Delicious in Dungeon. The genre is a little specific (food and DnD), but it is quite fun!
On a similar note, Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast For Spirits is a super cozy cooking anime with some adventure-y bits and a big fun weird world you learn about bit by bit

- You will either enjoy it or hate it
Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon) is as of now the only anime I could have bared watching
If you don't mind the "Cute girls doing cute things" genre then maybe Endro~! or "I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level". Both are light hearted comedy fantasy series.
Endro~! brings back memories. 2018/yearly 2019 is the years that I had time to watch all the animes in the season. Greats animes like Mahoutsukai no Yome, Violet Evergarden and etc was released at that time. Endro~! debuted in the last season that I could watch everything, after that I slowsly dropped animes because of my lack of time.
I enjoyed Helck in a similar manner to Frieren.
Ascendance of a Bookworm I saw was recommended as well, and I'll second that one.
If you meant magical as in fascinating, not literal magic, Golden Kamuy is one of my favs. It's a historical fiction adventure with lots of hilarious gags. You learn, you laugh, you get lots of adventure. Does have some some gross parts as it's war-adjacent, but it's largely an adventure comedy. One of my top anime/manga, and i didn't see enough people talk about it.
Restaurant to Another World.
Hits a lot of notes of Delicious in Dungeon but I feel it's a better series overall.
So cozy, slice-of-lifey with fantasy elements and delicious food.
The Girl from the Other Side is pretty chill imo
Chillin' in My 30s After Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army is a good one to watch. Its sits in the middle between light hearted and has some sad moments but they are not dwelled on for too long.
