Rokuhou-dou Yotsuiro Biyori

These anime are mostly set at restaurants, cafes or bars. The characters are either working there, are frequent customers, or have yet another connection with these places.

Anime that are not pet-centered shows, but have a cute cat mascot. These kitties are usually the main character's pet or magical familiar.

Cool, nice, sweet and handsome collection of gentlemen. Romance is optional! ;)


(List is a work in progress, items may be added or subtracted! DM for suggestions)

Just as the title says, anime about food and cooking that are worth your time. Partner to my manga list.

Obviously, not every gourmet anime is on this list- I deliberately left off ones that I just don't like. Sorry, not sorry- you can message me if you think I've made a mistake and I'll let you know why your fav is not on here.

Anime with lots of cute boys mostly excluding the sports, yaoi, romance or harem genre. Just cute boys doing stuff.

If you want to boost your 'happy hormone', or just want a good engaging anime, check these out.
Of course, what works for me, may not work for you, and everybody's got a different taste and blah blah, but hey, still give it a try.

P.S: I'm not including sequels, OAVs etc or the list would be longer than it needs to be.

An assorted stack of anime series with some talented detectives and mind-boggling mysteries to uncover. Highly recommended for fans who love to put on a thinking cap and wrap their head around, trying to unravel secrets alongside the protagonists.

The title speaks for itself.

CBDCT, an equivalent of CGDCT (cute girls doing cute things).

The cast of characters consists either predominantly of boys, or only of boys.

Some animes could be BL or have BL hints/fan services.

A collection of anime where it (mostly) revolves around a restaurant, in no particular order.

Do keep in mind that this by no means an exhaustive list. Other anime shows that may fall under this category will certainly be overlooked due to that fact.

Lastly, this collection ONLY focuses on anime shows that revolve around a restaurant, so expect a mixed bag of genres/themes.

Animes use food as comfort and make your heart warm when you watch it.

Thunderbolt Fantasy was also among the Fall 2018 recommendations, but isn't listed on MyAnimeList

My 2nd part of realist/semi-realistic art styles in anime.

Realistic or semi-realistic art styles, proper face & body proportions, nothing that looks too cartoon-ish or stereotypical overly detailed big anime eyes or moe art style

Want some cleaning inspo? Cooking inspo? Stories that inspire you to get up off your butt and tackle the gritty things you've been putting off? Cooking, cleaning, childcare, hospitality, family sitting at the table with warm plates of food. These are shows that focus on or feature the domestic elements that warmly hold our lives together.
