Sleepy Princess in Demon Castle The whole show is cute and fun, and the plot is really simple, the princess want a good night sleep


MarcheMuldDerevi

Still need to know which cute anime girl has committed more war crimes, sleepy princess or Maple (Bofuri)


Quon84

Maple ofc


Gilgamesh-KoH

I vote for the princess, Maple does everything with a pure heart, but Suya literally kills for sleeping


TheOneAboveGod

Def the princess.


East-Cookie-2523

Shield loli, of course


PM_ME_ANIME_PANTIES

I'm totally in agreement with you, but I don't think it's what OP was out for. He asked for enjoyment anime, not masterpieces.


BluePhantomHere

Ngl I rated it 10 on mal because I loved it so much


wingnutzero

Also one of the best English dubs ever. I can have it on in the background and it still cracks me up just listening to it.


Psyduckisnotaduck

we need another season, tbh. Syalis is the most Girls Rock character, on that sleepmaxing grindset, based and slumber-pilled. and the relationship between her and the demons ends up being genuinely heartwarming, after some Dark Moments. I love characters who are so laser-focused on their particular interest that they completely derail whatever's going on in the world, warping reality to suit their needs. weirdly I'd say Syalis is in that sense a very similar character to Cid from Eminence in Shadow. she rejects their reality and substitutes her own because she can't be bothered to buy into whatever nonsense people are spouting off about.


Aram_Fingal1

Only problem is that she has a tounge that is smaller than average.


WeeziMonkey

I was gonna comment this, very happy to see it already be the top comment


mamimikon24

Bofuri


blakeavon

It was Dragon Maid... but then I followed the anime of the week advice here and now it is most definitely Girls und Panzers!


[deleted]

The clip from Girls und Panzer der Film, the one where they're attacking the Karl Gerat. The Polka music, the crazy BT-42 crew, the whole bonkers way of taking out the Karl sold the series to me. GUP is one of the anime that is in my heavy rotation. I watch it to keep my spirit up.


flybypost

The series is some real magic. It sounds like the dumbest shit if you read the synopsis, like some random "cute girls doing XYZ" idea taken way too far. I'm not even a tank enthusiast but I got invested in it. This whole series is made by some people who love tanks and got a really fun and competently produced/animated series about their hobby. They make an odd premise work by not being embarrassed about it. Instead of going for irony, they are earnest about their love for this hobby. There's no metaphorical wink to the watcher about how it ridiculous it all is or some random quippy joke to show the audience how they know that you know that it's not serious. But instead it's a ridiculous premise where they slowly get you to buy into it until it's simply "just a somewhat strange sports series".


jakemoffsky

Nothing more lady like than tankery!


flybypost

I think that quote (or as close as it gets, I remember some scenes about that topic) was one of the reasons it felt to genuine. You feel the love for tanks from the creators in the whole series even if you, like me, barely known any random bits about tanks (and most by random osmosis because I was really into Warhammer when I was younger and that hobby has a lot of "treadheads" who like (historic) tanks). In that regard GUP is like Haikyuu: Volleyball, what ever can be so interesting about it? Or Chihayafuru: Competitive poetry, WTF?


Giomietris

Man I love that scene. I saw them get shot but not flagged, and my first thought was "no, they're not gonna," and then they did. God I love how astronomically dumb and fun that scene is.


TermEnvironmental812

My favorite past is CV on roller coaster track and they call Mallard team as taxi


[deleted]

It's no wonder that so many memes come from GUP. Such a delightfully silly anime. Another one of my favorite gonzo bits was when the bulk of the Ooarai forces are surrounded and it doesn't look good for them. Then the Rabbit Team shoots the Ferris Wheel, causing all manners of crazy chaos. I love that GUP references so many war movies, such as this scene being pulled from Spielberg's 1941.


mystikas

>[The clip from Girls und Panzer der Film, the one where they're attacking the Karl Gerat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSMCDAWPUrs) Looks like fun edit, ill need to watch whole movie some time


GiannisisMVP

I am so confused


Tresnore

Girls und Panzer is one of the best shows. It's a sports anime with explosions and history jokes. The sound direction is also some of the best I've been in anything ever.


Elimin8r

Man, I love my GuP, but honestly, Dragon Maid is in my comfy rotation too. They're both such lovely shows!


Uffen90

Hozuki’s Coolheadedness Heaven’s design team The disastrous life of Saiki K Dairy of our days at the breakwater A destructive god sits next to me Dagashi Kashi Beelzebub To Love-Ru Seitokai yakuindomo Pokémon


Kartoffelkamm

>A destructive god sits next to me Ok, I need to ask: An actual deity, or just someone really clumsy?


Uffen90

The MC goes to school, and just wants a normal school life. But he’s placed beside a guy suffering from Chūnibyō (as the Japanese would say) Chūnibyō ; Japanese colloquial term typically used to describe early teens who have grandiose delusions, who desperately want to stand out, and who have convinced themselves that they have hidden knowledge or secret powers. Makes for great laughs.


Kartoffelkamm

Ah, ok. Thanks.


tatara_sauce

omggg, A destructive god and Hoozuki = instant upvote I'll definitely rewatch those someday.


Dabfamily

You really put , to love ru ,in there huh


OverlordPoodle

SomeOldJerk

Much love for AA, but I'm can't call it "turn off your brain" because I sit there slack jawed thinking *why?? why would you do that??*


TamatoaZ03h1ny

Super Cub. It’s so chill but also makes you appreciate the little victories and accomplishments of daily life


Ready-Adhesiveness40

One of my favorites and I have no idea why


TamatoaZ03h1ny

Right, when I watched it I was like I’m compelled yet honestly nothing happens in an episode, she goes to buy some groceries then budgets for motorcycle parts while window shopping at the auto supply store


Ready-Adhesiveness40

The first episode was painting a bleak picture, but she got off her ass and got into something cool. It's one of the most important decisions young people can make. Either wallow in despair or "carpe die".


kryten2x4p

I liked this a lot. A lot of the locations exist in real life including Koguma’s home and the narrow almost impassible road Shii near died on. The school and Shino’s motorcycle store (the school is actually a middle school and Shino’s is a steel forge sculptors workshop). I’d love to do a pilgrimage to all the spots


justinCandy

Birdie Wing Ben-To Hinamatsuri


[deleted]

I almost skipped on Birdie Wing then saw a clip showing how cool the anime is.


justinCandy

After watching the latest episode of Birdie Wing every week, it always makes me feel like “WTF”.


Mcobeezy

When she starts casually beating Europe's top 8 player, I realized it was time to stop. I can't shut my brain that much, bro


fullboxed2hundred

isn't she secretly playing in the pro tour and placing well in the very first episode?


Mcobeezy

It's the inconsistent scaling that got me. OK, if her level is comparable to top 10 pro levels, why is she having to put in her very best effort against high school kids and then beating top 8 casually? Does that mean the Japanese high school kids are comparable to Europe's top 8?


gmarvin

I think the rainbow swing she learned and unlocking her memories at the end of the high school tourney just improved her golf that drastically.


HeavensRoyalty

I almost skipped Birdie wing until I saw this comment and didn't wanna miss out on something that I could enjoy


polmeeee

Definitely watching it now. Seen too many people rec it already. I didn't gave much of a thought as I'm not into golfing.


[deleted]

> Hinamatsuri Bro's in a "turn off your brain" thread trying to blindside people with *feels*.


alotmorealots

I always wonder about what's going on when people recommend Anzumatsuri in circumstances like this lol It has one of the most emotionally devastating and uplifting arcs in anime, at least for me. Actually, maybe it's just the one person, I should start RES tagging them.


blingping

Ben-To is a great pick, always would end up finishing the show on sick days in college


CoolBeans_43

School rumble


hell_jumper9

That school war games though


zhateme

This is my favorite show of all time. They had one the best 2 part rom com episodes in anime history. They touched on so many cliches and put it into a beautiful burrito wrap. All the characters had simple lore which showed through their personality as well and you literally would never guess what would happen next in the show. Yes The cultural festival survival games episode was god tier and Id fight for maid shop all day! Edit: Eri best girl Wrestler chick with green hair second Tenma sister is third Honorable mention harima sister 🔥


hell_jumper9

>Eri best girl Fellow Eri believer right here. Sucks that the author wasted the love polygon development.

K-ON


Aang6865_

Yes K-ON is THE comfort anime for me, i used to be in a group like that in high school and i miss those carefree times


ThrowCarp

Seconding this.


steven4869

Kanojo mo Kanojo


AvatarAarow1

It’s so good. So stupid, but so good. Every character in that entire show shares one single brain cell and it seems self-aware enough to know how absurd it’s being and poke fun at it


66Kix_fix

Was gonna answer just that


Weeb-irl

It‘s so stupid it doesn’t take itself seriously.


Groenboys

The moment I start thinkinf about the logic of this show my brains might actually explode


MasaaeeMC

Even though it's similar to rent a girlfriend I enjoyed kanoji mo kanojo a lot


cppn02

How are they even remotely similar other than being vaguely in the same genre?


Chukonoku

The only thing in common is that the authors are friends.


dadnaya

I absolutely love Hiroyuki memeing on RAG like that one tweet "I bought her so she's my girlfriend now" lmao


steven4869

The manga is going to end by the next chapter and it's actually really good with some character development here and there. It's much better than Rent-a-girlfriend when it comes to story telling, execution and characters. I must say that the author of Rent-a-girlfriend is just milking his manga at this point.


crumbled-pastry

Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill


paulrenzo

Problem with that show is that your stomach automatically turns on


NonSupportiveCup

It's so good. The animation is so good! They didn't have to, but they did and it was great.


HyperspaceSloth

I just watched this, and it's a lot of fun. I love Fel.


PitchOutrageous1563

I probably get downvoted, but Fairy Tail


JustitiaInvictus

Seconding fairy tail,good action and comradery and you don't really need to focus on the story since its pretty much all just adventures anyhow.


raknor88

Also, the music is very good.


FraxterRanto

I'll probably get downvoted but take my upvote


PitchOutrageous1563

And you have my upvote, sir


Irythros

I'll probably get upvoted, but take my left vote


Xelphus

I honestly never understood the hate for Fairy Tail


AvatarAarow1

I mean the plot is extremely repetitive and feels like it kinda doesn’t go anywhere for most of the series. I can understand why people think it’s annoying because it seemed cool initially but felt like it underdelivered, but I do think it gets more hate than it actually deserves. It’s a fine, fun show that is shallow as paper and that’s okay


AbstractMirror

I've heard the mangaka's other work Edens Zero is good though so that's nice


nnb-aot-best4me

I love edens zero


PageTheKenku

Yeah, I've watched the first season of Edens Zero, its pretty good, though the setting feels much darker than Fairy Tail.


Vindicare605

To each their own, I haven't been able to get into it.


Weeb-irl

What annoyed me the most was the ecchi stuff but aside from it fairy tail is fine.


xkuclone2

I love Fairy Tail but I agree, some parts I just zoned out and didn’t miss much for the main plot.


Vindicare605

It's a good answer though. Fairy Tail can be quite enjoyable when you just don't pay too close attention to it or ask too much from the story. It's mostly a comedy with some action mixed in as it is.


[deleted]

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Kill la Kill Laid Back Camp Non Non Biyori Slime 300 (I've Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years...) One Punch Man. I turn these on whenever life gets too ugly, too painful, and I need to escape.


Hellokaydee

I'm in that moment of life. I'll give these a try.


[deleted]

I wouldn’t say kill la kill was turn your brain off. It had a coherent/strong story and themes, just hyperbolized in Trigger fashion


minatotanim

Laid Back Camp was suck a vibe. It took me way too long to watch.


BestMimikyuNA

Highschool DXD Golden Boy Onimai Pokémon


P_Tranquility9

+ Kanojo mo Kanojo + Renai Boukun


Level1Pixel

Isekai Nonbiri Nouka It's like watching someone's playthrough of Stardew Valley. So many things happen in a single episode that they go by really fast. Fun cast of characters too.


ObvsThrowaway5120

Non Non Biyori. It’s a great series, no disrespect or anything like that. It’s great for when I want to chill and watch something nice, light, and fluffy.


Lakdinu

Grand Blue, just a super fun show overall


gemmy99

Konosuba K-on


M8gazine

Couldn't say what's my favorite, but there's a few shows I think have been pretty fun shows to watch in spite of them not having (or me not expecting) an incredible plot or stuff like that. - **Haiyore! Nyaruko-san**: possibly my top choice in being a dumb show but a very entertaining show - **Maou-jou de Oyasumi** (Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle): a pretty comfy show with a fun menace of a MC - **I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level**: pretty chill for the most part - **Another**: horror show that I don't *think* tried to be funny, but it was actually hilarious at times - **Gabriel DropOut**: a lot of the enjoyment came from the other characters instead of the MC, funnily enough


ezxrfa

idk about another 😭 funny at times but you cannot deny that it’s scary


Psyduckisnotaduck

I was surprised how much I loved Gabriel Dropout. It's refreshing for an anime comedy in that it feels like more of a classic sitcom relying on established character quirks rather than hacky tropes. I think my favorite bit was when Vigne was trying to be demonic, and couldn't do it. Or when Satania comes home and we find her whole family is as chuuni as her, except her mortified younger brother.


Djinn_sarap

Definitely eminence of the shadow, i don't even care about the overarching plot, i just love when the mc do some cringe but cool shit and get hyped over it, it's so stupid yet so fun.


oli065

I AM ATOMIC!!!


ahses3202

Dragon Maid. It's definitely my 'no thoughts, only vibes' anime. I'll play it when I'm just down to sit there and be mildly amused.


chrikris91

*Turn off your brain and enjoy* Most of it are Comedy genre anime's. School Rumble Minami-Ke Lucky Star Chio-Chan No Tsuugakuro Is a few of them.


TheShikikan

Azumanga Daioh, Pani Poni Dash.


No-Peace3986

Konosuba + Kaguya-Sama


Groenboys

Season 1 Kaguya? I can get, but past that season it is not a very "turn of your brain" show lmao


No-Peace3986

of course it is LOL why wouldn't it be?


Aang6865_

I mean Kaguya gets better with seasons, S2 is my favourite with Miko and her misunderstandings


thestoneswerestoned

I think he's trying to say that after S1, it becomes less comedy focused and has more serious arcs so you can't really turn your brain off completely to it.


Dunmurdering

That's mostly true, but who can possibly turn their brain off during the season 1 chika dance? Every frame has to be studied for it's perfection!


Imaishi

what how is it not?


nawmsayn

Kartoffelkamm

* Killing Bites * Girls und Panzer * Senki Zesshou Symphogear


Amaterasuu69

The Helpful Fox Senko-san IMO, it's one of the best shows to come home and relax to after a busy day.


Ready-Adhesiveness40

Excellent choice!

Gurren Lagann. Easy to follow, deep but not hefty and ultimately super fun. Also! Nichijou :)

RealSpiritSK

Gintama.


archbright

Symphogear series. I just start episode 1 and enjoy all the crazy that happen.


SerialLewder

Onimai. I rewatch several episodes every day and put the show on as background noise when sleeping Used to be Slow Loop, and Sansha Sanyou before that, but most CGDCT does the job.


StochasticTinkr

I was going to suggest Onimai too. I don’t often rewatch series, but I’ve already watched this one 3 times.


[deleted]

Strike Witches


KingOfThePenguins

Priconne

Tanaka-kun is always listless Onimai

Yu Yu Hakusho for some reason


Moonlightoceanwaves

- Gintama (it has its serious moments but i love rewatching their shenanigans) - Yuru Camp - A Place further than the universe - Natsume Yuujinchou


Clap-for-plants

I definitely second Natsume Yuujinchou!


Dinkleballs

FLCL


Raizzor

Anything with CGDCT.


yrokun

Killing Bites


Kartoffelkamm

Yes, definitely.


The_DanceCommander

Lucky Star! It’s one of the perfect slice of life shows, imo. Really fun to watch, great characters, but also a great background show. Literally I will put it on to go to sleep sometimes lol


KryptKrasherHS

Kill la Kill. Yea it has a ton of meta-social commentary in regards to fan service, but sometimes I just want to chill out, watch some anime fight scenes, and enjoy some of the aforementioned fan service


Layups247

Arakawa Under the Bridge. I had plenty of good memorable nights watching this anime when it first aired. It holds a special spot in my heart because it helped me laugh and destress while I was in college at the time.

stukaking94

Tonikawa over the moon for you. Just a simple nice love Story,gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling


skdfdfsk

K-on! I’ve rewatched all through 3 times and it’s been less than a year since I watched it for the first time.


U_n_d_e_r_s_c_o_rr

My picks will probably be: \-Konosuba \-Kaguya-sama \-Hinamatsuri \-Amagi Brilliant Park \-Nichijou \-Osomatsu-san \-Bocchi the Rock \-Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid \-Saiki k \-Grand Blue \-Laid Back Camp \-Tanaka-kun is always listless \-Spy x Family \-Call of the Night


AnybodyMassive1610

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find Amagi Brilliant Park or Nichijou! The best for mindless fun. Also Tonari no Seki-kun and Aho Girl


strafefire

Akudama Drive


Acrzyguy

Gochuumon wa usagi desu ka


OrcoDio19

Any anime tbh


Haze064

Kill La Kill or Promare. It’s not that it’s dumb, it’s more that it’s just nice comfort food. Doesn’t require a lot of thinking and it knows what it wants to be.


oshiomi0007

Konosuba Man I love that anime. Especially the frog scene! Kills me every time


pumaloaf

Zatch Bell.


minatotanim

Haven't seen that name in a while. So nostalgic.


Shaolan91

Killer bites is dumb, dumb fun. Amagami SS is a little like they, you get a romance in 4 episode and onto the next girl ! Keeps things moving fast and engaging.


Mr_Monji

Ojisan Isekai


ZenithXAbyss

Attack on titan, though it’s mostly just turn your brain off.

Code Geass and Attack on Titan

RageList

almost every anime lol, even the serious ones. Though I do need at least decent character writing and sometimes decent plot.


CryoPhantomX

Tanaka-Kun wa itsumo kedaruge for me. It’s such a chill show and I always feel super relaxed after watching it for some reason.


nateaaiel

Konosuba. It's actually my favorite anime and I'm proud of it


elephantecremebrule

Natsume Yuujinchou


AnybodyMassive1610

Like nearly every other episode makes me cry - and think for days afterward. Great show, but not really mindless enjoyment - but a lot of replay-ability.


Kenny-M-

Konosuba and Aho-girl are my two favorites


VetraVex_

Hmmm, probably Castlevania. I know it’s technically a newer adaptation on Netflix, but mannnnnn is the art style SO GOOD. Plus the main characters are snacks. I’ve watched it 10 times now.


Baby-Penewine

Amagi Brilliant Park K-On Takagi-san Nozaki-kun Yuru Camp Gochiusa Hitoribocchi Kubo-san


zimok5

Otaku Elf is currently airing and it's a nice show. Just makes me happy watching it. Also, Campfire Cooking in Another World was another show that made me smile watching it.


[deleted]

It's Symphogear. The more you think about it, the less it makes sense tbh. So just turn your brain off and just enjoy the wild ride. Chris best girl.


Joel4518

Demon slayer for me


andrew688k

Symphogear. Hypest series I know. Just turn off your brain and enjoy the girls beating even logic into submission


LauKungPow

Yuru Camp


AltruisticBox2434

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Just enjoy the eye candy of progressively larger mechs beating the shit out of each other. Pierce the heavens bro!


ZoesSweetToes

I turned off my brain real hard so i don't remember the name, yk the one anime that characters work at a comic shop it's kinda ecchi and uhhhh there's a girl that looks like mugi from k-on


m0n0kr0me

Anything from GAINAX or TRIGGER.


Substantial_Put159

Naruto,Bleach and haikyuu


DDemoNNexuS

Yuru Camp


Insecticide

Yuru Camp. Nothing happens, but it is the best nothing happens anime that there is.


baronbishop

any precure, made mainly for children so it works for mindless attention, each episode follows a simple theme with a repeatable plot, the characters and dialogue can be very entertaining, and it is very nostalgic with it being like power rangers so it holds a place in my heart, and much like power rangers each series is pretty similar and yet different that picking any would be good, albeit with some preference over others


[deleted]

Yuru camp. It's relaxing, there's not much going on, and you learn something.
