Bob's Burgers is the ultimate comfort show to me. There's nothing better to soothe the nerves than the Belcher family. If you haven't started it, you really should. I remember watching the first episode long ago thinking eh it's ok and then abandoning it. I'm so happy I picked it back up. They keep getting better and better.

Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san is about a girl who travels with her friend to Kyoto in hopes of becoming a maiko, but fails and instead becomes the caterer for a small manor for maiko. If you like cooking and comfy slice of life manga then you'll probably enjoy this. And of course there's lots of interesting facts about maiko and geisha sprinkled in there as well.

I love watching this Japanese Youtuber that plays Minecraft with no guide or knowing anything before hand, the series is called "PiroPito First Playthrough of Minecraft". I know that "Minecraft Let's Play" sounds pretty far from wholesome and comfy content but this one really is. His voice is very calm, and he's just overall very adorably curious about everything. I binged through this series in a couple of days and now watch it every time my anxiety is taking over and it seriously works better than Xanax for me. The videos have English captions (which are also v cute) so no worries if you don't speak Japanese.

Though I need to warn that the rest of the videos on his channel he are really creepy (it seems his hobby is making creepypasta-like videos) but there's nothing like that in the Minecraft videos, so just stick to those if you don't like disturbing stuff.

Really glad you enjoyed it! And yeah it's great for learning Japanese, one of the reasons I even started watching was because it's so easy to understand.

Idk if you already watch it but another wholesome series that also aids with studying is Terrace House, a show on Netflix where 6 random Japanese persons live under the same roof and live their daily lives. It's really soft-paced for a reality tv series, and very comfy and wholesome most of the time (there are bits of drama here and there, as you would have with normal human relationships, but it's pretty realistic and not blown out). What makes it great for learning the language is that it's unscripted, so you hear how people actually speak, so naturally it's better than watching j-dramas or anime. Oh, and I recommend it to anyone regardless of whether they speak Japanese or not. Great for binging.

Not OP but this game was my childhood, you basically just raise a dog of your choosing for 30 days (I think) until you start again, but you can still visit your previous dog.

I love it because the amount of effort you have to put in to each dog to unlock things is super fun and relaxing, you could go the entire 30 days and not train your dog up to the point it can go on walks so every dog feels unique. Plus there are little timed in-game moments that are adorable, like the phone ringing at random, and if you catch it before it stops, you have a small convo with your aunt, just small things really make a difference.

Plus you can clean your house, play videogames, play with her toys (like a remote control car), and just live your life + pup. Really great, many a fun time, I used to cry whenever the 30 days were up lel.

>Not OP but this game was my childhood, you basically just raise a dog of your choosing for 30 days (I think) until you start again
Oh, it sound so much like pic related, except with dogs and not ponies…

>but you can still visit your previous dog

…except for this point, the bad thing about the Friendship Gardens MLP game was that once your pony went over the rainbow, you would never see her again. Which sucked.

Unfortunately you can't do as much as you used to with your dog when visiting it, plus if you didn't learn how to do things you can't ever progress with it, like if, after the 30 days, I never taught the dog to catch, it'll never be able to learn :(

Holy fuck! I didn't expect to see other fans of these games. I actually researched the company that made them (MTO) because I find their games so cute and comforting.
Catz is good too, but the style is very different. I preferred being able to walk around in Dogz. Dogz on DS and Dogz 2 on GBA both are in the same style as the first GBA Dogz game, for anyone interested or looking for these games.

Harvest Moon! More Friends of Mineral Town is the girl version, Friends of Mineral Town is the boy one. There are also gay mods now. I also second all of the suggestions other anons made. I'll post again if I think of other cutesy games. Can they be games for GB/GBC since you can play those on GBA?

So my nightly ritual before bed (especially before I have to wake up for work or class next morning) has been popping my klonopin then playing this app called cartoon network match while watching either adventure time or steven universe or whatever other cartoon. Before that it was an app called "#for_rest". I guess I really like the old style pixel game apps. CN match is all pixelly and nostalgic to me because of the music and noises. For rest is nice and soothing too.

Yesss I played this too. But I thought I'd be able to follow my pony when they went over the rainbow and I was so sad when I couldn't lol.

I haven't seen the scene, I just read about it on doesthedogdie.com so I can't say anything about that but the description make me glad I didn't see it.

Of course not everyone is sensitive about this, I just wanted to add my 2 cents in case other anons might be sensitive about animal deaths, especially when they expect wholesome spook.

I'm glad you could enjoy it regardless and I hope many more anons do!

Picture related, those are only comments about the kittens, apparently a dog dies, too.

This is perfect, thank you again!
> Great for binging.
Yeah, I guess my exams can wait lol

Also, I would recommend the game Okami as wholesome. It's probably on my top 5 games list. I played it first on my ps2 and it was released on PC I think last year. I just like the characters, the music, the art, and the gameplay. You kill enemies with your brush and you get new brush moves by interacting with Japanese gods. It's super satisfying restoring a place and breathing life into it. And the game itself is really long so after finishing all the quests you get attached to the characters and immersed into the story. I was crying a few times which I usually don't.

I think it's good you mentioned it for sensitive anons, tbh. It didn't bother me too much because we didn't get attached to them, they die very quickly after they're found. To summarise for curious anons or anyone who wants to prep themselves before they see it:

They find the kittens in a shed and the dad lets her keep them. She tries feeding them cow's milk which would obviously not keep them alive. She finds the first kitten dead and as they're burying it, it starts moving again. The girl is convinced that the kitten is still alive and doesn't want to bury it. Turns out it was a bug crawling in the dead kitten's body. The rest have some kind of disease and have gone blind. It's implied that the rest of the kittens were killed by the father. The parents have an argument about it. The mother thinks it was traumatising and the father thinks it was a good lesson for her to learn and that's why he let her keep them instead of leaving them in the shed for the mother to return to.

Thanks to all the anons for the game recs! By the way there are loads of websites that allow you to play old PC games online and the first time I came across one I spent hours playing games that I haven't seen since I was a kid, especially educational ones we had in school. Highly recommend because it's a nostalgia goldmine.

The monster designs depend on person to person but I don't mind too much. I felt like a little kid again exploring areas and using my imagination to pretend there's magic in mundane, everyday things.

I avoided this series when it first came out because I didn't want it to turn into a shitty Amittyville 5.0. I was surprised by the fact that all of the adult children have realistic but fucked circumstances they try to heal from but it keeps reeling them back.

When Nell died, I appreciate the fact that they didn't make the funeral process gritty and "accepted". Shirley has seen death and never accepted it healthily since the kittens died. When she was handling Nell she felt emotion that was different than her recycled job tasks. Even Theo was broken upon seeing Nell and she's the most badass of the group. Their family bond was strong despite them talking shit about each other all the fucking time. Wholesome I guess? I'm at the episode where Luke apparently "OD's" in the house so let's see where it takes us. I wonder about the Red Room and what's in it. I'm glad it's not spoodfed to me yet.

AKMU's sister and brother duo feels very wholesome to me.
I love how they are not over-sexualized, look like have a healthy relationship and how they overcame a lot of difficulties growing up poor and changing countries.
This song in special is about how they were scared as children of the 'Dinosaurs', slang for loan sharks, that used to visit their home and, in the song at least, decide to roar louder than the dino to gain courage.
They also did some super cute Disney covers.

NTAYRT but it is helpful if you can reverse image search. It's Natsume Yuujinchou. I also recommend it even though I sometimes cry while watching it since Natsume (the main character) didn't have the best childhood, yet he's still so pure. Otherwise it's very beautiful, art and story wise, and the soundtrack is always amazing, kinda like impressionist music mixed with some traditional Japanese music elements. Also bonus points for the countryside comfiness.

I have a soft spot for this franchise even though it's pretty bad. It's like a worse version of W.i.t.c.h but it was enjoyable and exciting to watch when I was a kid.

with winx, only the first three seasons are watchable. i remember watching when s4 came out and was like… what the fuck happened to the animation? recently re-watched and saw a tiny bit from the new seasons… like, what happened to this show? it's still going on and it looks awful. the movies and anything past s3 are so shitty. it should have ended after 3 tbh. and when nick picked it up they ruined it so bad. rainbow did a better job dubbing, hell even 4kids did.
