I see people describe Flying Witch as a healing anime. Sure; semantics aside, it's a slice of life anime with a light-hearted feeling, and I would say I haven't enjoyed a show of this style this much since K-On. You know when you want to just sit down and put something on for an episode or two before bed? That's Flying Witch. It's the genuine characters and their interactions that make you want to watch more.
The pace is slow but not droll. It keeps you amused without really needing a "raise-the-stakes" mentality. From start to finish it feels very episodic (though due to characters introduced and few total episodes etc... you can't really watch it out of order). But not much is really accomplished, and that's fine. That's what you're watching for. Most episodes introduce a character that may pop up later, but for that episode you just get to enjoy the mystery of finding out who that person is and their story.
What I do like is how natural the characters and their interactions feel. There's just a tale on display that you get whisked along for, and you can really stop at any time. All I'm saying is... try it out. Get lifted up by the breeze and see if you feel like being carried for a bit. I don't think you can really be disappointed, but if you're not one for a carefree pace, it might not be for you.
