on [Discussion] What makes an anime "cozy" for you? in c/anime@ani.social · 15 Sep 2026
I’ve been meaning to read more but it’s been a little hard. Maybe I’ll take your recommendation and read The Old Capital. In English, I’m afraid. My Japanese is way not good enough to get into literature unfortunately.
This is what makes Japanese literature so meditative and beautiful.
It does seem Japanese media does have more of this as well. I don’t know of any western media that is similar to Iyashikei anime. It could very well exist though, I just haven’t come across it.

I wouldn’t say absolutely zero drama: in ep 2 Aika and Akira have a pretty ugly fight for example. But ARIA really knows how to resolve things in that soft and gentle way. Suteki!

- slow pace
- cute girls
- chibi art style
- aesthetic environments
- very little action
- very few serious stakes
- thin or nonexistent plot
- every episode ends on a good note
- no cliffhangers
- soothing music
- cute voices
- characters with a soft voice
- random shots of environments and objects in between
- shots where almost nothing moves or happens (think non non biyori veranda scene)
- singing and music by characters
- tradition
- interconnected social structure
- lots of hugs and snuggles and head pats etc
- tangible love between characters (of any kind)
- lots of conversation
- daily life / relatable activities
- down to earth (not too unrealistic) but with a slight element of mysticism / unexplained magic (think gochiusa’s tippy)
- cute clothes that are plausible as everyday wear
- environmental sounds
- day nights cycle / passing of the day / daily routine
- lots of golden hour
- lots of moe
Singed, your local SOL/CGDCT/Iyashikei weirdo.

on [Discussion] What are some anime whose demographics fans tend to get wrong? in c/anime@ani.social · 8 Sep 2026
K-ON is certainly made for men but notably it is very popular among women. This is kinda rare for CGDCT. Maybe it has to do with the female director giving it a certain touch that resonates with women.

The appeal of CGDCT is not singular. Innocence is certainly a part of why girls are chosen. But also, it needs to be cute and to most only girls are cute. Neither is the innocence universally applied and there are often not so innocent girls included in the cast. For example Konata in Lucky Star says some really not innocent things yet she is a popular moe character.
In the end, dudes rather looking at girls than at guys is still an important factor I think. Somehow being straight makes you like girls more even if you are not romantically or sexually attracted to those girls.

Aaah Asobi Asobase. My favorite moment is Fujiwara speaking broken Japanese and then awakening her kobun. And quite an interesting colour palette the show has.

on [Discussion] Why do anime car animations tend to be ass? in c/anime@ani.social · 6 Sep 2026
Because cars are quite complex and they move around they are time consuming and expensive to animate. Especially if a car turns and rotates relative to the camera, that is quite the job. They also are an object with familiar geometry so it needs to look correct and consistent, unlike character heads and faces for which we accept a lot of artistic liberty to be taken.
It comes down to some options:
- draw it well (takes a lot of resources)
- CGI but integrated very well by tracing over it by hand (also expensive)
- draw it using reasonable resources (probably won’t turn out very well)
- CGI but don’t redraw each frame (CGI will jump out as being CGI)
I remember the first episode of Non Non Biyori. Beautiful intro, one of my favorite introduction moments. The only thing that takes me out of it a bit are those ugly ass CGI cars lol. They really stand out!
For an example of good car animation? I don’t watch much things with cars in it but in Lucky Star episode 6 it starts off well. They are either drawn or CGI that is traced over. When the initial D parody starts, the outside of it is clearly CGI, but the inside is drawn/traced. When you see the camera panning around the car, you can see that it would take a lot of time to trace each frame to make it blend into the art style and background. Maybe the CGI look has to do with the anime they are referencing, I didn’t watch it.

Omg they’re even bigger than the Haruhi plushies from last month. And that girl gets to pose with all of them. I think they have outgrown her lol.

I don’t remember what happened exactly anymore when they weave in the main story but I remember it being quite touching. I also love the ending theme and its music video on YT. It definitely reveals things not revealed in the main series so definitely a must watch for fans indeed.

I almost only watch comfort anime… So all my favorite CGDCT and Iyashikei anime.

on [Discussion] Share an underrated anime that you loved in c/anime@ani.social · 8 Aug 2026
Kogepan. From 2001, ten very short episodes of about 3 minutes, 4 if you include the OP and ED. About a bread that is baked too long and is burned. Most other breads are pristine. A story about silly anthropomorphised breads but it’s quite human. It is surprisingly touching, especially the last episode. Some say it is an allegory for being old in society, the burned breads being old and the nice breads being young. Personally I think it can be interpreted in many ways, and you can easily swap being old for your own way in which you are burned. I’d classify it as an SOL/Iyashikei anime. I like how the quotes roll in with the writing behind them. You can watch it on youtube.

on Does it bother you when you figure out an anime's recipe? in c/anime@ani.social · 8 Aug 2026
Me watching Gochiusa:
Given that I just let a shipping company extort me just so that I could have the complete ARIA vinyl collection I’m gonna have to say ARIA for me 😅.
Gintama is also a great choice! It such a diverse anime and the OST reflects that. I love listening to it as well! Picking a favorite is hard but I think it is 昔の友人が変わらずにいるというのも悪くないものだな… It’s very OG and has such an wholesome bittersweet sensation to it. Gintama has a lot of bittersweet and I love that. Life is bittersweet after all. My favorite character theme is probably Madao’s theme.
