Fall Watchlist: Cozy Escapism for Overstimulated Adults
My picks here are comforting and truly capture the cozy quiet or inner warmth of fall.
Natsume’s book of friends pulls you into a world only he can see. You follow him through his adventures of finding and returning the names of yokai bound to his grandmother after she pretty much outwitted them. I love that it has many seasons; it mak...
Watch Natsume's Book of Friends
Ok let’s be real. Mr. villain’s day off is an excuse to watch a super hot supervillain doing cute things for several episodes. He threatens the world, but then spends his days off work fawning over pandas. He’s surprisingly wholesome and endearing, t...

I’m so happy Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits is back with Season 2 because I genuinely can’t explain the physical symptoms this anime gives me! I mean clenching heart, warmth in my gut, and an overwhelming urge to leave this burning world f...
Watch Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits-
A classic. Warms me up faster than hot cocoa! Grab a blanket and settle in.
Watch Kamisama Kiss
Snow White with the red hair is so perfect for fall. There’s something comforting about watching Shirayuki face trials and make it through. The romance here is so well earned, too. None of that will-they-won’t-they or unnecessary drama or miscommunic...
Watch Snow White with the Red Hair
I could watch Sugar Apple Fairy Tale over and over and never get tired of it. It’s not fluff, so beware, friends. There are real themes of ownership and power woven in 👀. Still, it’s the kind of story that pulls you in, the kind you want to watch wi...
Watch Sugar Apple Fairy Tale
This one is for those looking for a very syrupy romance. It’s sickeningly sweet lmao but it hits right when you’re in the mood for it. I’m not really a fan of the voice acting for Kaoruko, though 😅

Dinner table detective is amazing when you have friends or family over. I just feel it’s a good fall watch for groups. You can of course watch it alone but wouldn’t you want to solve the cases with other noisy people chiming in?

I have not seen this yet but I’ll be watching it this month! I’m adding it in because a good friend of mine I trust with anime recs recommended it as something that falls within my cozy fall theme! I’ll keep you updated :3

Anime For When You’ve Outgrown Teen Storylines
A good chunk of anime takes place in high school, but there’s a whole world beyond the classroom. This list is for when you want something grown: stories set in college, at work, or simply featuring characters who’ve already graduated. It’s not that ...
The beginning of this anime is a tough watch! Our fmc goes through quite a bit but please continue watching. The story arc is gorgeous and there’s a part of this anime you do not see coming! Also, the love story is so tender in the best ways.

I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the top 3 romance anime ever made, EVER. It’s perfection all the way down to the animation itself - it genuinely feels as though so much resources went into bringing these particular characters to life....
Watch A Sign of Affection
A show about unexpected people coming together to form a spy “family.” It’s actually very adorable how Loid (male mc) became a father to Anya and Yor became a mother to her, as well. You’re going to be super frustrated with the communication aspect w...
Watch SPY x FAMILY
A pretty cute office romance! It’s a collision of office life, romance, and gaming in a charming slice-of-life about adults trying to balance work, love, and their secret nerdy sides. It’s cozy, funny, and surprisingly relatable if you’ve ever felt l...
Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku | Prime
This show’s about five friends trying to make it in the anime industry and facing deadlines, creative burnout, and all. It’s both inspiring and quietly emotional, offering a rare peek into what it takes to build the worlds we love to escape into.
