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.

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.
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
Little Witch Academia, for sure.
Its not a “fantasy” adventure but A Place Further Than The Universe is cozy and brilliant.
Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon) is as of now the only anime I could have bared watching
Konosuba fits that description perfectly.
I watched Konosuba 1 and 2, not sure when season 3 arrives. I had it would air somewhere in 2024 but haven’t followed news about it.
It already did. There is also as movie between s2 and s3
Oh wow, so I’ll have to watch the movie first before watching season 3. Thanks aye
The Girl from the Other Side is pretty chill imo
In order from more cozy to more adventure:
- Flying Witch
- Endro~
- I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level
- Didn’t I Say To Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life!?
- Little Witch Academia
- Konosuba
- Frieren
- Cardcaptor Sakura
- Slayers
Frieren is a bit melancholic sometimes but its overall a very positive and fun story imo. Good VA, animation etc
a bit melancholic sometimes
Viewer be advised: If you’ve ever lost someone you took for granted, or hurried through what should have been a formative time in your life instead of slowing down and appreciating it while you had it, then this show knows how to punch you in the tender bits, and it will not stop.
I cried during every one of the first four episodes.
10/10
Yeah well put, i was eating icecream and didnt wanna type too much lol
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.
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.
Maybe it won’t be your thing, but I really really like Haibane Renmei. It’s more melancholy comfy, and some moments are a little intense, but it’s overall very sweet and meaningful to me.
Such an amazing show
Slayers is great, especially the first two seasons, before it went anime original.
I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level is the first thing that comes to my mind. The Little Witch Academia series is also a classic.
Thanks, I will look into both!
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.
The Studio Ghibli movie, Castle in the Sky fits that bill pretty well. Especially on the “old adventure vibe” front. It’s definitely got cozy and funny moments throughout, but all the guns and explosions might be a bit much.
But if you need stuff that’s pure cozy, Non Non Biyori is good, as is Yuru Camp. Not big on the fantasy or adventure part, unless you consider walking to the candy store, or going camping, to be adventures.
For something cozy and fantasy based: Hakumei to Mikochi is good too! It’s about a couple of lesbians who live in a tree, in a charming fantasy setting. It’s got big cottage core vibes.
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.
