5 Amazing Slice-of-Life Anime Series to Watch on Crunchyroll in 2024

For when you just want to relax.

We know battle shounens and deep philosophical seinens are fun, but don’t you just want to watch something calm sometimes? If you’re in this mood now, try out these series, and you won’t regret it.

  1. Natsume's Book of Friends (Natsume Yuujinchou)

 - image 1

If you still want something supernatural added to slice-of-life, this series might be for you.

Natsume has a peculiar ability: he can see and communicate with supernatural entities, called youkai. Because of that, other people consider him strange, and Natsume is left isolated and lonely.

After his grandmother’s death, Natsume comes into possession of the Book of Friends, a highly prized item in the supernatural world. And when he accidentally frees Madara, who is a mighty spirit in the form of a car, the two make a deal: Natsume will give it the book if Madara serves as a bodyguard to him.

  1. Skip and Loafer (Skip to Loafer)

After growing up on the outskirts with only a few students in her class, Mitsumi considers her enrollment in a prestigious high school a big deal. She also has great hopes that her new life is going to be much better.

However, the problems start straight away: Mitsumi gets lost right on her first day and is late for class. But nothing is that terrible, she meets a fellow first-year student, Sousuke Shima, who offers to go with her, and that’s how their friendship starts.

  1. Yotsuiro Biyori (Rokuhou-dou Yotsuiro Biyori)

This series will definitely make you hungry for more because it involves cooking!

They say bartenders are the best psychotherapists but this anime proves that tea house owners might be just as helpful.

Four young men run a cafe called Rokuhoudou together, and their hospitality has turned dozens of visitors into regulars. Not only can they get served tea and treats at this place, but also count on the owners to help them with their troubles.

  1. Bunny Drop (Usagi Drop)

 - image 4

30-year-old Daikichi attends his grandfather's funeral, where he meets a small shy girl, Rin, who turns out to be the dead man’s illegitimate daughter. Daikichi decides to adopt her, since no one else wants to have her.

This new development will provide Daikichi with fatherly practice and add some meaning to his life.

We’d advise you not to read the manga after finishing the anime, though, as there are some things that you probably won’t need to know.

  1. My Roommate is a Cat (Doukyonin wa Hiza, Tokidoki, Atama no Ue)

 - image 5

If you’re a cat person, this is definitely a must-watch for you.

Subaru is introverted, awkwardly shy and completely alone. One day he runs into a small cat in the street and decides to take it home with him. The only issue is that he’s never taken care of anyone in his life, and can’t even seem to take care of himself.

Will these two find a way to coexist and perhaps even create a peculiar bond?
