Top 10 Cutest Anime Series EVER

Who doesn’t love a goodnight’s sleep? Though chances are you’ve got nothing on Princess Syalis. Despite being kidnapped by a Demon King, all this nonchalant royal wants is to sleep soundly, and it doesn’t matter whose day she has to ruin to get her way. Her interactions with her surprisingly chill demonic captors never fails to earn a laugh, even if it becomes increasingly obvious the biggest demon in this castle is Sya herself! But come on, look at the flying teddies! I need these in my life!

Top 10 Anime Characters Who Finally Got Laid (Ft. Todd Haberkorn!)

Ever wanted to experience the thrill of the great outdoors from the comfort of your own home? Well, now you can courtesy of these gals and their treks through the Japanese countryside. On paper the premise might seem boring, but the way Rin and the rest go about planning and executing their camping trips is oddly enthralling. Not only will it educate you on this oddest of hobbies, but will likely have you purchasing a compact grill by episode’s end. Seriously, how do they make the food look so good!

There are plenty of rom-coms out there these days that range from serviceable to uncompromisingly adorable. This one falls into the latter, and for good reason. After a mysterious girl saves him from an early demise, Nasa falls head over heels for her, with the two going on to get hitched lickety-split. Thus we have our tale of young married life; a far departure from the usual slice of life fare. What sets it far above the rest is just how much our two leads compliment each other, while also traversing the perils that come with being a hubby and wifey at such a tender age. They’re just too precious!

They’re the modern phenomenon that we just can’t get enough of. The comedy factor here is uproarious, pitting two genius students against one another as they endeavour to do the impossible – get the other to confess their feelings! Miyuki and Kaguya’s interactions constantly blur the line between adorable and infuriating, due to their own stubborn refusal to state their undying love for one another. Thankfully, the journey there is anything but boring, thanks to the wholesome supporting cast and endless romantic flubs the pair find themselves in. Ishigami will always be best boy though.

If you’re in the mood for something a bit more bite-sized but with just as much charm, then following the daily antics of these wannabe artists might be your cup of tea. With each little scenario delivered in digestible chunks, lounging back and watching the girls try to overcome their artistic slumps makes for a pretty fun time. They’re not afraid to get a little crazy with the gags either, helped immensely by how various animation styles are often blended together into the same scene to give the jokes a little more spice.

Get ready for a cuteness overload and then some. Focusing on the everyday life of Tamako and her close circle of friends, the series is all about earning those “awws”. From their school life, making and selling mochi, as well as the most innocent low-key romance you’ll come across, everything in this series is just bubbly. Perfect for those not looking to watch anything with high stakes or actual drama, just heart-warming content. Oh, and a talking bird that really needs to lose a few pounds.

It’s been meme-d to hell and back, has characters that walk the thin line between cutesy and downright savage, while also not being afraid to parody everything under the sun. Out of all the four panel comic strip manga to be adapted, this one continues to reign as Queen. Sure, the designs of our heroines are as moe as it gets, but don’t be fooled, they know how to satirise the crap out of the medium. We can pretty much pin down the success to Konata, whose lack of work ethic and die-hard nerdisms resonate with all of us!

Top 10 Most Romantic Anime Series

Seems that the winning formula for an adorable anime consists of a group of girls getting into all manner of mishaps, though this one might take the cake! United by their love of music, Yui and the rest of the Light Music Club are certainly a bright spot amongst the genre. Not only can they rock out when the moment calls for it, but their interactions and efforts to get their club recognised carries a lot more gravitas than most. And lest we forget – that strawberry scene. The greatest betrayal in anime history.

You think you know romance; you think you know the tropes, but your soul is not ready for the purity that is Sawako. Ostracised because of an uncanny resemblance to that one character from The Ring, Sawako seemed doom to remain alone, with her crush on Mr Popular Kazehaya nothing more than a distant dream. At least until those around her start to see what an amazing and considerate person she is. Watching Sawako overcome her social obstacles while gradually earning the affection of newfound friends and the boy of her dreams is utterly enchanting!

This thing ticks all the boxes when it comes to bringing the feels. You have a down on his luck, disillusioned guy who decides to step up as an adoptive parent when he discovers his deceased grandfather had a secret love child, one who is treated by the whole family as an outcast. Starting out as strangers with only a shared sense of loneliness to unite them, seeing Daikichi and Rin slowly grow closer as father and daughter never fails to make our hearts soar. And it's for that very reason we refuse to accept the manga conclusion as canon!
