My absolute favourite is Love Live. Even tho it's not a pure CGDCT, I couldn't not mention it here.
Apart from that, my second pick would be Yuru Yuri.


Idol anime like Love Live or Idolm@ster is in its essence a CGDCT, part of Iyashikei (healing) anime genre.
Also, when it comes to the CGDCT trope I'm more prefered to lighthearted silly comedy and this far the one that grow so much with me is Yuru Yuri and Milky Holmes. They're both has something unique compared to tons of others out there.

Yuru Yuri often employs dimensional breaker into the 4th wall and react very well to their fandom meme, things like invisible protagonist, staged opening sequence, etc. It was really a hidden gem when it was first aired, over time it only gets more popular due how internet culture works.

On the other hand Milky Holmes often goes under the radar because of how it appears like a young demographic show at first glance (shows like precure, pripara, etc.) while it was actually more towards the 'moe' fags crowds. I would put it on the same level of Teekyuu.


Ohh, I totally agree with your opinion on Yuru Yuri. I didn't see Milky Holmes, but I will definitely check it out now.

The reason I specified Love Live as not being 'pure' CGDCT is that I find it has more drama and tension that majority CGDCT do.

Milky Holmes comedy is more of a hit or miss, if you watched Endro last season Milky Holmes is like that, but much-much weirder, lol. Some parts are more like ojii-san jokes. Some example like:

I like the heck out of girls und panzer, cause nothing is cuter than a lil tankery. Kaboom-boom-booom. Zombie Land Saga and Ms. Vampire who lives in my neighborhood were charming as well.

1. Dead dead Demon dededede Destruction
2. Madoka
3. Maid Dragon
4. Watamote (manga, since it turned into a CGDCT manga during the school trip arc)
5. LWA (TV series)

6. K-on
7. Oniisama e...
8. Hanamaru Yochien
9. New game
10. Gabriel Dropout.

11. Joshikausei (manga)
12. Attack no.1 (this might get higher as soon as I finish it)
13. Wataten
14. Chio chan

Personally I don't like to use the "CGDCT" term that much, when talking about slice of life anime with mainly female cast as that definition would be too broad and loosely defined for me.

It doesn't automatically account for anime with all female cast but that's still not slice of life, so it's confusing (for example Hibike! Euphonium isn't slice of life but it's still cute girls doing band drama and Madoka Magica isn't slice of life but it's cute girls doing suffering)

I actually rather like to split slice of life anime to 4 categories: character driven slice of life, gag driven slice of life, drama slice of life, and iyashikei (healing anime). There can of course be overlapping between these categories depending on the anime.

But ye some of my favorite anime with {mainly all female cast are Madoka Magica, Aria The Origination, Hidamari Sketch, Non Non Biyori, K-on!!, Hibike! Euphonium, Joshiraku

My pick would be two series. One contains Ms. Expert of Happiness' Ho~He~'s following every hazukashii serifu kinshi ever existed and the kouhai-chan's dekkai tsukkomi. The other is the HTT. The friggin' HTT. Literally HTT. There are other shows though but these two are just unbelievable. If humanity is ever in a crisis of its identity, I will pass a bill in the UN resolutions to use these two anime on the humanity to give it the grim reminder of what it once were.

In a more broader perspective, most of the shows of a certain studio is delivered with CGDCT in them with extra bit of moe which adds one more reason for them to be my absolute favourite studio. Be it uguu~, be it vanishment this world, be it happy ice creams, be it kininarimasu, be it anpan, be it douzo! they find a way like no other studio, delivering CGDCT in a manner that should become a delivery practice certifited by ISO 9001.

Also worth mentioning is Nyanpasu~

Now sing we me!

Btw, did I mention that Aishiteru Banzai!?

Ps. I don't consider the antics happening around that's Sakamoto-SAN for you as CGDCT because the BL-mangaka-in-the-making is just too OP for that sh!t. Also, maji yabaku ne is only possible for a CDDCT.

Ps2. What about Panzer vor?! That's not CGDCT. That's Cute Girls Doing T*** C****** i.e. CGDTC.

But anyways, ifyuicould successfully decipher all the references above then there would be no more CGDCT.

Aikatsu and Smile Precure is my favorite if we add idol or action elements respectively, they have very CGDCT tone with the characters and their interactions together with having nice stories to deliver even more.

For more standard works of the genre, my favorite is Kiniro Mosaic, followed by GochiUsa, New Game, Gabriel DropOut and Comic Girls, I freaking love those five!

One of my favourite anime is New Game! but I wouldn't really consider that CGDCT, perse. Yeah, the girls are cute (sexy, even) but it's a workplace comedy where they're all just doing their job. I've heard the argument that New Game! is CGDCT, but I don't think it is.

If you want pure CGDCT, watch Hinako Note. I don't think my heart can take much more if I rewatch that again.
