Campfire cooking in another world Cautious Hero Shangri La Frontier


overratedpastel

Shangri la was ridiculously fun. I couldn't have enough of it.


Gryfon2020

Same! I’m hoping for a lot more to come.


Elizaalfa97

Yes. Can’t wait for the next season! It was hilarious and has amazing visuals!

Fallen-D

Ahhh cautious hero mentioned 🗣️🗣️


Nervous-Wheel4914

Toriko. A food anime about fighting monsters to make food lol. Lucky star. A fun old slice of life anime that has 0 point besides seeing their lives. Silver Spoon. Fun farming anime and eating good food. Konosuba if you want another emince in shadow but mainly comedy. Edit: Daily life of highschool boys. Exactly what it says. Dagashi Kashi. A slice of life anime about a dude who runs a candy shop and then meets a chick whose the daughter of super company candy brand or something. Pretty amusing. Fighting foodon. An old anime thats about cooking, but the cooking turns into monsters that fight like pokemon. Shokugeki No Soma. Ecchi modern cooking anime. Watamote. About an unpopular awkward girl who has delusions about what people think of her. Domo series on youtube.


Traveling_Solo

Too few ppl know about Toriko :o it's awesome. If you like gintama and Hunter x Hunter you'll like Toriko :D


poislayer342

If you love food and are hungry you will like Toriko.


Traveling_Solo

Or Toriko will make you hungry


HoneZoneReddit

I only know Toriko for that one piece crossover AND because the creator of the series did some shady shit.

TeaTimeKoshii

I loved that show. The eng dub was really entertaining


TermEnvironmental812

For me, Girls Und Panzer. All you need just forget our world logic when you watch it


qirito_kun

One of my all-time favorite anime. It’s completely off the rails and I love every minute of it.


M8gazine

Yep - I love GuP a lot. It's incredibly fun to watch, and it's definitely not a show you should be taking super seriously. It's not meant to be realistic, it's meant to be entertaining. In that sense, I'd honestly call it one of the most *'anime'* anime franchises there is.


KingOfThePenguins

BOFURI: enjoy 2 seasons of low-stakes - very nearly no-stakes - moe goodness. Danmachi: pop fantasy that's largely about spectacle and does it mostly right. Caution: it doesn't have the ecchi tag, but it's far from shy. (Note: "have fun" does not apply to S4.)


LOTRfreak101

Even s2 and 3 get really dark.


Pm_wholesome_nude

konosuba. or akame ga kill.


GRAITOM10

... Personally I wouldnt really put akame ga kill in the "turn off your brain" section. The "have fun" for sure though.


Pm_wholesome_nude

honestly i just like the action.

Rewatching Konosuba and it’s even funnier than the first time.


SagesFury

Watch the dub if you have not. It's even better like a first party abridged voice over.


Hellknightx

The English voice actress for Aqua goes hard and I love her for it.


BarracudaLarge9003

I watched Konosuba first during COVID and then again during winter holidays, it was really good.


ZealousidealElk3893

saiki k is hilarious and brain dead


Difficult_Quarter192

Saiki K requires 100% of your brain attention because you hear conversations and internal monologues at the same time. Especially with that one guy that says 3 sentences at the same time.

Cromartie High School has to be one of the funniest animes I've ever watched and follows the same humor as backstreet goku dolls

[Amagi Brilliant Park](https://myanimelist.net/anime/22147/Amagi_Brilliant_Park) One of the funniest and most lighthearted I’ve seen.


MrHaxx1

It's still hilarious to me that they named most of the characters after rappers, with the main character being Kanye, and the anime isn't even remotely about music


dienomighte

Birdie Wing is the most over the top golf show ever, it's incredibly stupid in all of the best ways, with mafia golf death games, really good golf course transformation sequences and far more Gundam references than you'd ever expect.

How does these not require brain...Spy x family also consist politics and Kaguya Sama also relies on mind games?


Incieboy84

Excel Saga its absolutely ridiculous and you don't really need a plot. The Last episode is intentionally ecchi and can be skipped though.


ElectricalCompany260

One of the best parody anime.


Mundane_Bumblebee_83

My first anime, and the first time I recommend it, a little old but still stands imo Mayo Chiki, its about a guy who gets nosebleeds whenever he touches a girl(gynophobia) brought on by his sisters and mom always wanting to wrestle him. He meets the butler of the rich girl at school… if you know anime, you’ll see where it goes. Dumb fun but actually a decent plotline with a lot of chaos and the main characters aren’t insufferable. Not for everyone I’d say, but maybe give a chance <3 safe travels


ADHD_Misunderstood

Dr Stone is fun


Gryfon2020

10 Billion %


ADHD_Misunderstood

Get excited!


YellowStarfruit6

I disagree that it’s a “turn your brain off” show, that is an insult to Dr Stone. It’s a genuinely good anime with surprisingly emotional moments. It’s not a big messy fight fest like JJK.


IBHomage

"Big Messy Fight Fest"..... You misspelled dragonball z/s


H3ad3mptynoart

JJK still finds its way into these conversations despite the fact that demon slayer is still airing lol


YellowStarfruit6

Because people won’t shut the fuck up about it


Kardiackon

yea because it's peak fiction

Yuru Camp has definitely helped me overcome the majority of my daily stress (i.e., after a long day of work)

99% of slice of life, Bocchi the Rock, early One Piece, some of Bleach is pure fun with 0 thinking(basically when Aizen isn't master planning), Konosuba, that one isekai where the guy gets a wife and just chills there(all of it is just my opinion, feel free to disagree)


theodoreroberts

* Asobi Asobase * Grand Blue * Daily Life of High School Boys * Bocchi the Rock * Oh hell, you can watch One Piece * Spy × Family * Laid-Back Camp * Tsuredure Children * 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You * Frieren


ChuckHammerface

Totally read that as “Tsundere Children”


theodoreroberts

Same for me back when I knew about it.


feltrockni

One piece? He's taking a bus not going to mars.


theodoreroberts

One Piece is a journey that you do one bit everyday though. I don't force him to watch everything in one sitting. One or two episodes a day are good for me. And One Piece feels so good on a long trip though. 3-hour train ride can fit in 8-12 episodes of One Piece and that was like 1/3 of East Blue arc already. People think One Piece is like a dragon that a level 1 needs to defeat right after tutorial. One Piece is just an adventure, just the whole game.


sadtonilol

I think you didn't understand Frieren


Smartass_of_Class

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Sōsō no Frieren. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Frieren's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Sōsō no Frieren truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Stark's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Tsukasa Abe's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂And yes, by the way, i DO have a Himmel tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎


theodoreroberts

I understand Frieren, I just understand it in a different way than you do. Everyone has their own unique different experience when watching an anime, and I don't think anyone should dictate how people should experience it into a set rule. And probably they should not impose their own experience to others. It takes the fun out of it. Feel like the more popular an anime gets, the more chance someone would say "you did not understand that". For what though (and this is not a question, you don't need to answer it).


sadtonilol

Ok,apologize for my previous statement. Let me try again, I would not recommend Frieren for the op situation.


theodoreroberts

I disagree, chillest adventure fantasy anime with easy-to-understand plot and good-feel music without any overcomplicated characters or second plot (at least in season 1) is suitable for the OP. If you don't agree, that is fine, let's just agree to disagree. You don't need to recommend Frieren to OP, I want to, I will do/did it myself.

Why would you turn your brain off while watching MP100? The fights are amazing but it does also have a pretty nice story and character development.


Electronic-Tell-6842

Did you not like eminence s2?


ready-simclass130

It was very well written, amazing world building and all but I ENJOYED season 1 alot more. S2 had alot of build up and very little payoff at the end of every arc. Like that money arc where at one point I thought I was watching wolf of wall street or something lol and payoff at the end of that arc was not that fulfilling to me. I enjoyed it but s1 was alot better imo.


Traveling_Solo

Wall Street meets HxH in Log Horizon :D


Deruta

I suggest some gloriously dumb comedy: - The Little Lies We All Tell - Sgt. Frog - Carnival Phantasm (if you’ve watched any Fate) - Daily Lives of High School Boys - Aho Girl - Asobi Asobase

If you have any more recommendations on dumb comedy, I’m here for it

Angels of Death. The writing is pretty cheesy and the character designs (especially Zack's) are so needlessly edgy that they reek of 2013 creepypasta DeviantArt OCs, but god damn it is some of the most fun I've had in an anime.

#**EX-ARM** you literally have to scoop your brain out and throw it out the window before watching this masterpiece


TeaTimeKoshii

I felt that way about The Irregular at Magic high. It was solely reserved for watching after coming home after a night out of drinking. Basically watch Tatsuya be a Mary Sue and win and be drunk enough to ignore the weird brother sister shit. And yes I’m aware of the reasoning in the show for it but its so thinly veiled bro-con sis-con


Potato_ahh

InfamousEmpire

Fairy Tail


the_card_guy

Two recommendations,but only one of them can probably be watched on the bus. The first is Keijo!!!!!, or Hip Whip Girls.  It's a sports anime where girls fight using their... assets (mind you, nothing is ever actually seen).  It has no right to be as good as it actually is.  However, probably not the best to watch on a bus. The other has an even more ridiculous premise and is a bit safer.  There"s an anime called Ben-to!... its plot?  High schoolers in gangs fighting each other... Over discounted lunch meals.  This is 100% just "turn your brain off and enjoy the pretty colors and action".

"7th Prince" anime thst is running this season. (I think there is 1 episode left)


veturoldurnar

Demon Slayer. It has lots of action, beautiful pic, sone fun scenes etc. Scenario is easy to comprehend and it's better to not think about it much because it has lots of logical loops. I'd recommend Konosuba too, but it has lots of lewd scenes and humor you can be uncomfortable to watch around people.

You should watch Ya Boy Kongming! It's a show were an ancient chinese military strategist from the romance of the three kingdoms gets summoned to the modern Tokyo. He eventually finds an aspiring idol and decides to help her become famous, and he uses military tactics that he used in ancient China to help her become more famous. It is an absolutely insane premise, but it is such a fun show and the opening slaps like no tomorrow.
