Anime with smol/cute main or side characters which you KNOW you feel the urge to protecc! There is one entry per series.

Warning: Some of these characters come really late in the series.

My personal recommendations for amazing "SOL" anime that have subtle/intensive feels and deep themes/ideas.

These travelers wander from place to place for various reasons. They may travel the land for their job, be on a journey due to a strong sense of wanderlust, or are adventurers on a quest of some sort. Others may be homeless, exiled, or on the run and have no place to put down roots. Basically, a list of non-isekai shows from various genres where the characters change location frequently.

In these animes the protagonists (as a couple or individually) somehow take care of babies or young children.
-Relationship "father and son"
-Caring for a child due to major circumstances

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

En estos animes los protagonistas (en pareja o de manera individual) de alguna manera tienen a su cuidado bebés o niños pequeños.
-Relación "padre e hijo"
-Cuidar un niño por circunstancias mayores

sometimes we just want to relax and chill with cup a coffee or see something that make us smile

Trees, forests, deserts, oceans -- shows where the depiction of the outdoors is absolutely breathtaking!

Make sure to check for extra episodes, seasons, or movies!

Anime with non-human, fantasy creatures and which are not isekai.

Anime that have really cool and unique worlds, with an atmosphere of mystery and adventure.

Naprosto brilantní kousky, které bych každému doporučil ke zhlédnutí.

1.really wholesome anime with ofc a hint of absurd or wholesome comedy.
2.perfect to watch with family.
3.lifts your mood for sure.

It only includes anime (series & movies) with an obvious difference from the real world in terms of the aspect of the world. Just having some dragons/monsters/etc is not enough as long as there isn't anything special about the landscape.

Sequels are not included (where there are more seasons and/or movies).

Are human protagonists really all that interesting, or do others deserve more recognition for being as equally and in some cases more alluring than humans?

Animes with focus on father-son relationship and older brother-younger brother relationship

This is a list of anime that fall under the 'Cottagecore' aesthetic. The Cottagecore aesthetic romanticizes nature, the countryside and slow living. It consists of peaceful pastoral locations, homemade crafts, and traditional homesteading activities such as cooking, picnicking, gardening, forging, care-taking, etc.

Cottagecore is a western concept, but goes hand in hand with 'Iyashikei', which is a theme often intertwined with Slice of Life. It emphasizes slow living, and appreciates the wonder of being alive. It brings a gentle joy to the chores in every day life, and has a peaceful, serene tone. It's one of the narrative styles that make Japanese works so distinct and charming.

I'll be adding to this list as time goes on. Some of these works wont fully fit the Cottagecore aesthetic, but are close enough that they're worthy of being in the stack.
