a place further than the universe / girls und panzer are the best. no honorable mentions because all of the rest are awful.

I'm right, you're wrong.

K-On! is my current favorite anime of all time so that's my answer

Girls & Panzer is also really enjoyable

Is Aria considered a CGDCT? If it is, then Aria by far...it is so relaxing.
My honorable mention would probably be K-on or A place further than the universe.

No single favourite

K-On
Non Non Biyori
GochiUsa
Yuru Camp
Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon
Love Live
New Game!
Girls und Panzer
Girls Last Tour

There are more but those stood out to me I have like 10 others downloaded but I haven't watched them yet.

The reason for all of them is I just enjoy this sub genre a lot very few are disappointing for me.

Definitely Girl’s Last Tour although I would put an asterisk next to this title as it’s not your typical CGDCT anime. Sure, they’re cute but the theme and setting is very dark and bleak.

The queen of CGDCT anime is of course K-On!!

Can’t talk CGDCT without mentioning Non Non Biyori Repeat. By far the best season of the show imo.

Like Girl's Last Tour Rozen Maiden and Princess Principal are very different from the usual CGDCT fare but I personally think they count because so much of the runtime is dedicated to the girls just hanging out and having fun.

A place further than the universe-Fun to watch and I felt sad in the ending when they parted ways
Toaru Railgun-If that counts as one. Just really like the characters
Non Non Biyori-nyanpasu

The one, the only, the epitome of iyashikei, Aria.

Also, Azumanga Daioh (if that counts).


I play BanG Dream! Girls Band Party

Probably Nichijou cause it was actually pretty funny. That genre isn’t really one of my favorites and haven’t watched many of those. Another one I would probably say is Azumanga Daioh since it was similar to Nichijou. Another one I liked was Little Witch Academia.

I might have enjoyed some other CGDCT anime more than this one, but I still have an undying appreciation for K-On! due to my history with it. I used to be a huge elitist that would constantly dog on CGDCT anime, but then I watched it and it kinda made me question my behavior because it was a pretty damn enjoyable experience.

What exactly are the boundaries of CGDCT as a genre? Obviously the biggest factor is character design, but there are definitely shows whose characters fit the CGDCT mold while seeming like they shouldn't be in the genre, because they're not slice of life/focus heavily on another genre.

If Girls' Last Tour counts, then absolutely that. If not, maybe Little Witch Academia? I haven't seen any purely CGDCT shows, I don't think.

- Aria because it's the pinnacle of wholesomeness.

- Non Non Biyori because it's the perfect balance between wholesomeness and hilarious comedy.

- Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight for its animation, OST, and artistic and theatrical sense.

One step down from those three: Yuru Camp, Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru, and Shirobako.

My favorites are k-on, lucky star, love live, and a place further than the universe. I like them because they're super simple and cute. It's nice to relax and watch a simple show like those after watching action shounens most of the time

If it counts, my favorite CGDCT is Aria because of its tranquil atmosphere and ethereal audio and visuals. Characters have charming personalities and it's satisfying to see them accomplish their goals. An honorable mention would also be K-On!. Wacky and adorable character interactions and dynamics are present in this one and the voice acting for each character is robust and cute. Directing is also godlike thanks to the lovely Naoko Yamada.

Edit: I'm not sure if this one counts either but Girl's Last Tour is truly one of a kind and has one of the best endings I've ever seen. Chiito and Yuuri make a great pair too.

Yuru Camp. Characters, visuals, music - everything on spot.

There is only one correct answer and it’s Aria. Science themselves proved it to be impossible for someone to watch/read it without feeling good for the rest of the week.

K-on and Aria are my favorites.

Aria is hyper idealized. Everyone and everything is perfect. each episode has some kind of uplifting life affirming message which might sometimes seem pretty cheesy but the atmosphere is so soothing.


K-on is more down to earth, literally and figuratively. The girls aren't perfect little angels, they sometimes tell lies and do not-so-cute things but that makes them relatable.

Oh and Girl's Last Tour! It's so different from the usual CGDCT fare that I almost forgot to mention it. It's a damn masterpiece and if it had an OVA or something to adapt the ending of the manga then it might even eclipse everything else on my favorites list.


These three are basically the morning, noon and midnight of CGDCT anime.

Honorable mention:

Rozen Maiden. I think this one might not quite fit the stereotype but it has tons of ridiculously cute SOL moments plus it has some features of an edgy battle shounen to boot.
