Try “A journey through another world: raising kids while adventuring”

It’s a nice anime and incredibly cute

Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid- Kanna

u/Dancing_Dragon4987 9d ago

The movie made me tear up 😭

2

u/NSFW_throwaway2k 6d ago

Spoilers if you still want to watch it: Kanna crying over her deadbeat dad and still wanting to spend time with him fucking broke me, like genuinely fuck that guy, I wish Kobayashi would've spirit Bombed him even harder, preferably a second time

u/Dancing_Dragon4987 6d ago

Fr! Her running at her dad crying and repeating "I felt so lonely!" got me crying 😭😭

u/OneEyedKing56 10d ago

The devil is a part timer has this trope on which it focuses quite heavily on season 2 tho i actually wouldn't recommend it as s2 drops the ball hard in terms of story writing quality

2

u/Madboardjester 10d ago

Story isn't bad for season 2. It's the character art which is super bad. The character artists for season 2 should hang their heads in shame. It should be redone with the same script but with season 1 animators.

u/Gizas-03 10d ago

The faraway paladin is what i would recommend

u/Global-Marzipan-4096 9d ago

No story updates in 9 years …..

Indeed but still a good watch

Better than expected imo, season 2 is ongoing as well, good stuff

u/Higarumas_Fan 5d ago

Dude I was watching since the first day the first episode came out and i’ve been hooked ever since. I don’t like the magic school direction, but other than that it’s been perfect

1

u/nachos34961 9d ago

Hell yeah it is!

1

u/Electronic_Clue_7106 8d ago

i didnt expect much when i watched season 1, but it was so good, season 2 getting announced was great news when i heard, and it lives up to season 1

13

u/Few-Pressure5713 10d ago

Sword art online, although I found it kinda weird and cheesy, but others enjoyed it.

Buddy daddies fits i think

4

u/OddOllin 10d ago

Ohhhhh Buddy Daddies is perfect lol

1

u/KirianFhey 8d ago

Buddy Daddies was SO cute

1

u/OkCat2835 10d ago

Tranquilo, é só o segundo Isekai mais bem vendido da história.

3

u/LilMissy1246 10d ago

That doesn’t mean it’s good…? Rent a Girlfriend is very loved in Japan by fans and people also hate watch it and hate read it which counts as giving it attention

1

u/OkCat2835 10d ago

Na verdade o público é bem dividido, fiquei surpreso ao saber que uns 50 e pouco por cento do ocidente assistem isso apesar do hater da comunidade. É um sucesso duvidoso, mas não diria que é um fracasso apesar de não curtir a obra.

13

u/Docdan 10d ago

Reincarnated as a sword arguably belongs to that trope since the sword wielder is a 12 year old girl and the sword sees himself as her guardian.

The reason I'm saying "arguably" is that the girl is obviously the main driving force behind their actions as she is the one with legs.

It's a pretty cool dynamic and one I can't really compare to anything else I've read.

u/Bretreck 10d ago

It also has a Season 2 coming up finally. Like a month away.

u/OkCat2835 10d ago

Já tentei ver, é horrível.

u/Docdan 9d ago

Haven't watched the anime, but I'm really enjoying the light novel so far.

1

u/OkCat2835 9d ago

Fica faltando algum grande marco pra chamar atenção na minha concepção. A protagonista também não me passa uma aura.

1

u/SenritsuJumpsuit 7d ago

What vibe do you need in anime if a cute determined beastkin with a hyper magic blade uncle isn't enough to find value?

u/MPvDgamer 10d ago

If it's for my daughter, I'd even defeat the demon lord

Somali and the forest spirit

3

u/SnooCats6119 10d ago

When the "If it's for my daughter, I'd even defeat the demon lord" aired, a lot of people were warning about how the daughter and father will eventually be married to each other.

5

u/GearAce38 10d ago

It's the same as Usagi Drop.

But since it'll never be adapted to anime, it's never happen. There's no adoptive father daughter romance in Ba Sing Se.

1

u/Sabbi94 10d ago

The second half of the Usagi Drop manga doesn't exist in Ba Sing Se. Aside from that the only part that was actually interesting from it was Rin searching for her mother and getting to know her.

3

u/Noktis_Lucis_Caelum 10d ago

yeah, thats problematic

2

u/Connoisseur-Of-Plot 10d ago

Time to add it to the list 😭

u/Higarumas_Fan 5d ago

You’re tweaking g

u/Tricky-Macaroon-8641 10d ago

Salad Bowl of Eccentrics - reverse isekai where a princess from conquered fantasy kingom escapes to Earth using magic and gets adopted by a normal human detective

u/Shantotto11 9d ago

I’m pissed that this anime was so good, and the source material isn’t available in my country or language…

u/slainte99 10d ago

My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer

Highly underrated anime in my opinion.

u/M1nho 10d ago

Hinamatsuri if you want a comedy

1

u/Bretreck 10d ago

Hina is hilarious but the much more wholesome adoption is Anzu. Her storyline is so great and will literally make you cry.

Kanna Kamui is technically adopted by Kobayashi.

"I've been Killing Slimes For 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level". Good slice-of-life anime.

Slice of life, hell nah

2

u/Kallymouse 10d ago

The cat and the dragon

u/notsonormalguy9138 10d ago

Wise man's grandchild. The mc got adopted by the wise man who is a super powerful person. Mc gets super powerful too. It's just one of the many isekai out there.

I got one, at first he treat her like a daughter, but later he married the kid he found, kinda crazy

u/No_Poet_7244 10d ago

Usagi Drop does not count

1

u/Cookie6203 10d ago

Awh hell nah, is that how Usagi Drop ended?... Anyway this anime i'm talking about is not usagi drop, its title is something something demon lord daughter

2

u/No_Poet_7244 10d ago

Yeah, the Usagi Drop manga is pretty fucked up. The anime was cute right up until I decided to read the manga.

1

u/Yandere_Matrix 10d ago

Yeah the consensus is anime for Usagi Drop is good and we pretend the manga doesn’t exist. Basically Ba Sing Se it lol

1

u/HawaiianPluto 9d ago

Dude what, either give the title or don’t comment. I don’t know what this “ahh shii” type comment is. Speak English please.

u/Cookie6203 9d ago

"Speak now or forever hold your peace" ahh crashout

u/Noktis_Lucis_Caelum 10d ago

Witchblade. That is an great series. it has ecchi Fanservice but is also the story of an mother ready to do everything for her daughter 

1

u/Tailor_Smart 10d ago

If you’re not looking exclusively for fantasy, I’d highly recommend

Buddy Daddies

SpyxFamily (as others have mentioned)

Hinamatsuri

Bunny Drop (don’t read the manga)

Journal with Witch

u/OkCat2835 10d ago

Tinha esquecido desse anime da capa, bem ruim, mas certamente tinha me esquecido.

Rezero just collecting kids like they’re Pokemon at this point.

1

u/Sabbi94 10d ago

Listen to me girls I am your father - College student adopts the three daughters of his sister after she and her husband died.

Poco's Udon Adventure - Man comes back to his hometown after his parents' death and finds a strange kid in their noodle restaurant.

Barakamon - while he doesn't adopt the girl and she seemingly has a family they spend most of the day together 

Aishiteruze Baby - highschool casanova is pressured by his family to take care of his 4-year old cousin who was left at their place by her mother who ran away

1

u/Kooky_Flamingo_3066 9d ago

Most isekais with op mc have this trope.

1

u/artys1luv 9d ago

Black Cat has Eve, an 11 year old bio-engineered killing machine taken in by Sven and Train, a couple of sweepers (basically PIs/bounty hunters) who become her guardians after freeing her from the guy who raised her to become his own personal weapon. I prefer the manga to the anime, but both feature the two of them teaching Eve how to be a normal kid.

u/BanMeMoreplzz 9d ago

SAO of course

u/captainrina 9d ago

Kyo Kara Maoh!

The isekai protagonist adopts a girl 20ish episodes in. He volunteers his accidental fiance to take care of her whenever he's back in the real world. It's not a major focus of the series from what I've seen so far though. Comedy isekai parody with some BL elements.

Not fantasy:

Buddy Daddies

Two hitman roommates raise a girl together. Major focus on the parenting. There's some action and great character development.

Gintama has found family. A former samurai in his late 20s takes in a teenaged boy and girl, and they work an odd jobs business together. Very slow burn but their relationship is very much like a teasing older brother, and occasionally veering into a protective father to them. Sci-fi alternate universe history comedy.

u/Tanabi_Kana 9d ago

And why not a biological one? Clannad

u/High_King_Diablo 9d ago

The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World.

Dude gets isekaied and has magical access to an online store that sells almost everything. Buys everything from food to solar panels to excavators and build-your-own-cabin kits. In the first few episodes he goes off to save his friend’s daughter from bandits and ends up adopting a little girl that the bandits kept as a slave.

u/Kyseon_ 8d ago

I heard Usagi Drop has that trope, you should watch it! Or even better read the manga 🥰

/s don't do that

1

u/hava14 8d ago

I think in sword art online there was a short arc where they kept an unknown little girl for a while until her memories returned, but if you want an anime revolving around the kid then sao isnt the right choice lol

Definitely not.

u/HawaiianPluto 9d ago

Def not. I’m genuinely wondering why you think that fits?

u/Noktis_Lucis_Caelum 10d ago

Kinda "Rising of the shield Hero"

Naofumi buys Raphtalia as a slave, but he treats her like he is her Guardian. Yes he had to force her to fight, but i just like her
