If you are looking for a fun, relaxed, and, let’s be honest here, cute experience when watching anime, check out this list of the most kawaii anime to watch!
1. Love Live School Idol Project
If you are a hardcore anime fan, you will understand the phrase “Nico Nico Nii”, right?
Well, that famous phrase comes from Love Live.
The show is about a girl named Honoka Kousaka who is dying to become an idol, so she creates her own idol group with the girls of the school and decides to do anything to make them famous.
2. Is the Order a Rabbit?
This is the perfect anime for those who love girls working as waitresses.
Is the Order a Rabbit? is probably one of the most kawaii anime in existence due to its cute and innocent style and, obviously, due to its protagonists.
The anime is about a girl named Kokoa Hoto who works as a waitress at a café called Rabbit House.
3. Place to Place
Better known as “Acchi Kocchi,” Place to Place is an anime that can heal any kind of wound.
It tells the story of Tsumiki Miniwa, a schoolgirl with a tsundere attitude who is hopelessly in love with Io, a kindhearted boy who is oblivious to Tsumiki’s crush on him.
It’s an anime where all kinds of funny things happen.
4. Kin-iro Mosaic
Kin-iro Mosaic, or Golden Mosaic, is an anime whose cuteness is better explained through images.
Its style is childish and cute, just like the plot, so you better not expect a masterpiece of a plot.
It tells the story of a girl named Shinobu Omiya who is told by her British childhood friend Alice Cartelet that she will come to live with her.
5. Engaged to the Unidentified
This is a popular kawaii anime that is loved by anyone who watches it.
The story is about a girl named Kobeni Yonomori who learns that she has been engaged to a boy named Hakuya Mitsumine all along, and because of that, this boy and his sister come to live with Kobeni and her whole family.
The more you watch this anime, the more kawaii it becomes.
6. Pokemon
Pokemon, at the end of the day, is still a kawaii anime, of course mainly because of Pikachu.
But it has a lot of kawaii Pokemons in it besides Pikachu.
Another thing that makes this anime both kawaii and wholesome is that with every new season, new pokemon appear.
I don’t think it will ever end.
Also, to be fair, some storylines are great.
7. Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You
Kimi ni Todoke is my favorite shojo anime of all time.
It is perfect in every way possible.
This anime follows Kuronuma Sawako, a beautiful girl who is nicknamed “Sadako” because of her likeness to the ghost girl from The Ring.
While everybody rejects her at first, the most popular boy in the high school, Kazehaya Shouta, becomes interested in her.
8. Tanaka-kun is Always Listless
This is an anime adaptation of a web manga of the same name.
This anime is about exactly that: Tanaka being clumsy.
He just wants to enjoy his life in his own way.
The good thing about this anime is that it gets better with each episode.
One recommendation: watch this anime but don’t be like Tanaka, okay?
9. Natsume’s Book of Friends
This anime is slightly different from the other ones (except for Pokémon) because this is more story driven than the previous anime.
The story is about a boy called Takashi Natsume who can see spirits because of his grandmother and her “Book of Friends.”
Due to these spirits, Natsume can’t be a normal teenager.
10. Blend S
This anime is almost like “Is the Order a Rabbit” but less lolicon.
It’s about girls working as waitresses in a Café called Stile.
The original aspect of this anime is that every girl represents different traits.

16. Tsuredure Children
Tsuredure Children is a great anime because it tells various romantic stories between students of the same high school and how hard is for them to say “I love you” in an omnibus format.
All the characters of these stories are connected to each other through their friendships.
