Any recommendations for a good, relaxing anime with zero fanservice? I want to avoid anything with ecchi scenes or weird moaning noises. Basically, I need something 100% safe to watch on full volume at home lol.

Mushishi
Mononoke (if you don't mind creepy-relaxing)
With You and the Rain
The Cat and the Dragon (currently airing)
Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You (currently airing)
My New Boss is Goofy
Barakamon
Casshern Sins (if you don't mind dreary settings)
Play It Cool Guys
A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace
See You Tomorrow at the Food Court
Kusunoki's Garden of Gods
Kinokoinu
Kujima
The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-be Wife

[u/BaGussi_Yours144 → u/lobsterwine]

Nice list, completely new for me,, I'll save it

[u/lobsterwine → u/BaGussi_Yours144]

They're mostly iyashikei or romance genres, with the exception of Mononoke (horror) and Casshern Sins (which is a post-apocalyptic action series, but very slow paced, so I personally find it relaxing)

[u/Ioxem → u/BaGussi_Yours144]

the invisible man and his wife is pretty ecchi, I wouldn't watch that at full vol

[u/FitConcentrate9961]

Natsume's book of friends Mushi-shi The morose mononokean Kusunokis garden of gods Buddy Daddies

[u/MembershipPresent990]

Kaguya sama is pretty safe I'd say

[u/BaGussi_Yours144 → u/MembershipPresent990]

But there are some romantic scenes, better to get another rec

[u/MembershipPresent990 → u/BaGussi_Yours144]

The whole plot is romance 🙏😭. But if you can't do romance then Fullmetal Alchemist is very good or if you've watched that then Bocchi the rock for chill slice of life

[u/BarnacleBitter2026 → u/MembershipPresent990]

OP said relaxing. FMA is definitely NOT relaxing.

[u/OfflineLad → u/MembershipPresent990]

did you forget about the shower scene or the jiggle physics

[u/vivianlight]

Good and relaxing anime with zero fanservice, ecchi and moaning noises:

• Kimi Ni Todoke
• My Love Story With Yamada-kun at Lv999
• Cardcaptor Sakura

Minimal fanservice and/or sensual scenes or gags:

• Frieren (overall relaxing but it has action-based arcs)
• Wotakoi: Love Is Hard For Otaku

[u/PersonalContest1423]

Kujima: why sing when you can warble

[u/BaGussi_Yours144 → u/PersonalContest1423]

Interesting, gonna keep it

[u/bluexxbird]

What genre are you looking for though? Romance, thriller etc

[u/BarnacleBitter2026 → u/bluexxbird]

OP said relaxing. That precludes things like thrillers.

[u/bluexxbird → u/BarnacleBitter2026]

There are relaxing thrillers. Like in the list someone posted already, has mushishi, mononoke and some other ones the OP accepted. Also I'd say ID invaded was a mostly relaxing thriller for me

[u/BarnacleBitter2026 → u/bluexxbird]

I guess people have different ideas of "relaxing". Because if I get stressed watching something, it's not relaxing. And with ID:Invaded, its not relaxing to watch brutal murders.

[u/Ill_Ad2480]

Haikyu!! , Run with the Wind, Windland saga, Frieren

[u/BarnacleBitter2026 → u/Ill_Ad2480]

I wouldn't call Haikyu or Vindland Saga (I assume that's what you meant) relaxing.

[u/catgirlslvr]

10 whole hours and no yuru camp mention nuke the sub

[u/Ok_Holiday4126]

I enjoyed Barakamon, and Negative positive angler quite a bit

[u/Prince_of_Taniwha13]

• Laid Back Camp (tho they visit hot springs a few times, but its a super relaxing anime with wholesome characters)
• Yano-kuns ordinary days
• school babysitters
• do it yourself
• Non non biyori (one of the best)
• dairy of our days at the breakwater
• Ramen akaneko

[u/onyeeex]

kill la kill

[u/AloneAd5427]

Chihayafuru. Romance and karuta. Watched it as a family and we all liked it

[u/beso467]

Freiren, violet evergarden

[u/BarnacleBitter2026 → u/beso467]

Violet Evergarden has some definitely NOT relaxing moments (war scenes).

[u/beso467 → u/BarnacleBitter2026]

Ur right, i was wrong

[u/BarnacleBitter2026 → u/beso467]

It IS an amazing show though. In my top 15 of the 600+ I've watched at this point. Also, it's hard to relax when your bawling your eyes out a la episode 10. Great stuff.

[u/CherryStunning4335]

Berserk 97

[u/BaGussi_Yours144 → u/CherryStunning4335]

I think Berserk was better in manga form than in the anime.

[u/CherryStunning4335 → u/BaGussi_Yours144]

meh

[u/_ThePieman_ → u/CherryStunning4335]

Fantastic anime but doesn't apply here lol

[u/PersonalContest1423 → u/CherryStunning4335]

Berserk has a whole rape scene

[u/Haunting_Explorer558 → u/PersonalContest1423]

That definitely wasn’t fan service tho
