5 Relaxing Anime for Those Who Are Tired of Action-packed Series

No need to worry.

Anime is known for its high intensity and expressive characters. However, after watching such titles, viewers naturally get tired of the dynamic pace and abundance of events.

A good example of this kind of storytelling is Chainsaw Man, which may be a bit too tedious for some viewers. The same goes for Jujutsu Kaisen. Sometimes you just want to chill out while watching anime.

Here are some titles suitable for relaxation.

Non Non Biyori

Non Non Biyori can be called a slice-of-life classic. Nothing shocking happens in this show. Even the story takes place in a small village. The local school has only five students, all girls and in different grades.

This is the perfect pastoral anime that doesn't strain your attention. There is a special chemistry between the heroines, light music and calming landscapes create an indescribable feeling of comfort and tranquility.

Aria the Origination

Aria is similar to Non Non Biyori in many ways. It is also a slice-of-life story about girls, but in a completely different setting. In the story, humanity has terraformed Mars and now the planet is covered with water. There is a city called Neo Venice, where a girl from Earth comes to become a gondolier guide.

Aria is replete with fantastic landscapes that are impossible to tear yourself away from. Together with the heroine, we are gradually immersed in this world. There are so many miracles here that not a single episode will seem boring.

Restaurant To Another World

Restaurant To Another World (Isekai Shokudou) is a rare example of a successful mix of genres – isekai and slice-of-life. The series is about a restaurant that serves visitors from a fantasy world (like elves and mermaids).

There is no grandiose plot about the confrontation between the worlds, this is a small story about the restaurant employees. Food plays a special role in the series, and in this sense, Restaurant To Another World can be considered one of the most “delicious” anime of recent years.

Sweetness & Lightning

Sweetness & Lightning (Amaama to Inazuma) may not seem like a relaxing anime at first glance. It is about a teacher who has to raise his daughter alone after the death of his wife. Everything would be fine, but the father doesn’t know how to cook.

Sweetness & Lightning is a very tender and touching anime about the relationship between a father and his daughter. It gives a feeling of family coziness.

Mushishi

Mushishi is suitable for those viewers who are looking for calm with a bit of melancholy. Ginko searches for strange creatures called mushi. From time to time, he meets different people who tell him their little stories, so you shouldn’t expect big intrigues here.

Mushishi captivates with its atmosphere of a quiet (but mysterious) forest.
