Some anime feel like a warm hug, or better yet, a hot cup of cocoa. We want to present you with some of those comforting anime.
Sometimes anime can make us feel better, comfort us after a bad day and give us the strength to move on. Of course, different things comfort different people; that is why we are going to offer to you 5 different anime that might make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Flying Witch
Flying Witch is a sweet anime about a witch who is still in training. She moves to a new place at the age of fifteen as, according to witchcraft rules, she is too old to live with her parents. Do not worry, she has her cousins to rely on and a black cat to keep her company while she makes new friends in a region that is much better suited for her witchcraft studies. This is a very wholesome anime.
Place to Place
Place to Place is a romcom about two characters who might be closer than friends, but have yet to realize it. At last one of them has not; Tsumiki Miniwa is a full-blown tsundere in love, who occasionally grows cat ears from how much she loves the other character, Io Otonashi. If you enjoy romcoms, this one's for you.
My Roommate Is a Cat
My Roommate Is a Cat is a unique anime in that it follows both a human protagonist and a cat… protagonist. Indeed, every episode has the perspective of the cat that the main character, Subaru, rescued from the streets. If only he knew how to take care of a cat… Subaru is socially awkward and generally introverted, but he is a nice man, and the anime is a sweet slice-of-life option to comfort yourself.
Bofuri
The full name of the anime is BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. This is a very relatable anime for people who are into gaming and anime at the same time. The main character, Kaede Honjou tries out a popular VR multiplayer game on the friend's advice, names her in-game character Maple and puts all her points into vitality. Possibly unrealistically, she becomes an absolute juggernaut! But she also meets new people in-game and works together with them to complete levels and quests. This is a cute, fun story to enjoy for comfort.
Oda Cinnamon Nobunaga
Oda Cinnamon Nobunaga has a crazy premise, which is why you are going to like it. This anime follows in the footsteps of other reincarnation-focused anime but then takes a sharp turn into crazy cuteness. It asks, what if the warlords of the Warring States period, which was a crucial part of Chinese history, were reincarnated in modern Japan… as dogs. Fun and cute, it is a good anime to relax to.
This is our list of comforting anime. We are sure, though, that there is much more, so keep an eye out for our future lists.
