Tamayura

animes of the rural setting

1. Cast is all-girl
2. Not in the romance genre*
3. Only Slice of life shows[so no action/battle shows].


Split up in multiple parts due to number of entries.

This is a counterpart to the my magical realism coming-of-age stack. Here, I'll be listing my favorite traditional coming-of-age stories, shows about growing up that take place in a down-to-earth representation of the real world without any fantasy elements. Like with the previous list, I'll be using the first season of the show to represent the entire series.

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

*Stack is ordered by recency

The Japanese word "iyashi" (癒し) means healing, and the term "iyashikei" refers to anime and manga that "heal" the audience by instilling a calming feeling or evoking emotional carthasis. Almost always, Iyashikei stories have peaceful, somewhat mundane, and nostalgic atmospheres. The settings are idyllic with little or no conflict, and the narratives focus on personal reflection, heartwarming moments, a vague sense of melancholy, and/or an appreciation for the small things in life.
Here the top Iyashikei Animes:

Anime to relax to, *mostly* featuring Iyashikei, CGDCT, Slice of life and minimal drama

CGDCT - "Cute Girls Doing Cute Things"

If you're a fan of the type of humour found in shows like Yuru Yuri or K-On!, where Comedy is mixed with Slice of Life, Cute Girls Doing Cute Things or All Female Cast themes, then here is a stack that might interest you.

Clarification: This stack will contain shows that are considered to be comedies and either CGDCT or all female cast shows, even if they don't contain those tags.

Only first seasons will be included.

This stack has a sequel which can be found by searching: 'Comedic All Female Cast/CGDCT Shows (#2)'

(A couple tags for searchability, sorry D:):

-Funny CGDCT Shows / Funny CGDCT Anime / CGDCT and Comedy / Comedy and CGDCT / Wholesome CGDCT / Wholesome Anime / Wholesome Comedy

This is a stack of Anime which each have a Main Cast of Only 4 Females, no more, no less, and no males will be in these Main Casts.

If you like the types of shows featured in this stack, feel free to check out this stack series: Comedic All Female Cast/CGDCT Shows, as it might contain more anime you would like.

This stack will only contain the first season of each series.

I'll add more OSTs when I get the time listening to them.

Sequels aren't included.

CGDCT = Cute Girls Doing Cute Things
This subgenre focuses mostly on cute characters and mundane, slice-of-life situations.
They contain a female cast doing cute things in their daily lives. But with this stack, there are some shows that elevate the subgenre.

Unironically the best shows for "cute girls doing cute things", IN CUTE WAYS!!
It's a win-win for everyone. (I am not including sequels. Though with some of these series, the sequels are better imho)

Anime which craft a relaxing and warm atmosphere through focus on detailed backgrounds, slow pacing, and calming music. The type of show that will put you to sleep, in a good way.

Original anime series with all female main characters. Anime listed here are those I've seen and like.

This stack is for forgotten or obscure original anime that somehow fit the following criteria:

* Lack of contemporary interest, even if the show had some hype during its time on air.
* As far as possible, a completely finished story within one or two seasons.
* Relatively recent shows are allowed if their talk has already died after a few seasons.
* Have at least some value or interest, and not just be forgotten anime without a source.

The purpose of this stack is to introduce people to perhaps little-known, but interesting for at least one viewing of the original anime. Especially if I personally, the author of the stack, consider them interesting at least at the premise level or some moments. Therefore, I also tried to leave comments next to each anime, expressing my thoughts about the possible pros, cons, and reasons for the loss of attention to the show.
