Favorite Shows!
Cartoons have a huge impact on my art and there are quite a few I love! My favorite genres are usually slice of life, but there are a good amount of outliers too! I'm going to stick to 3 show for this section as well, but maybe someday I'll update and add more!
Ojamajo Doremi
This is my favorite anime of all time! Others would probably choose Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura (which are also really great), but Ojamajo Doremi is my pick. Its an adorable slice of life magical girl anime about these elementary school students training to be witches. They use their magic to cause shenanigans or help their classmate solve their problems while hiding their witch identities! There's also rules to the world and a history to it for the witches which helps you stay engaged! Highly recommend it and if you watch it thats one more person i can hyperfixate with!(Just make sure you watch the sub!!! Otherwise, you'll be stuck with 4Kids dubbing and miss out on 3 other seasons!!! EWWWW!) Sadly there isn't any legal way to watch Ojamajo Doremi anymore so you have to search the web a bit to find it. Thankfully there are a lot of anime archive sites that have preserved the entirety of this show for viewing pleasure!:)
Gravity Falls
Mystery? Check. Overarching story? Check. Loveable characters? CHECK! My first show where I really got into fandoms! Gravity Falls is a fun and charming romp through the days of summer with your family! The twist however is all those campfire horror stories are true! Mysteries are afoot like zombies, lake monsters, minotaurs and more! There's lots of great jokes and even some dark ones too! A perfect recommendation for those that have watched the likes of the Owl House or Paranormal Park!
Moomin (1990)
The 1990 Moomin anime is an oldie, but a goodie! It doesn't have an overarching story or anything but it has charming characters and good vibes. It's one of those perfect shows to watch when you want some cozy cottage escapism! There's honestly so many cozy environmental shots in this show that are so relaxing to look at! The Moomins themselves are also a really wholesome and caring family! If you want something to unwind to and relax, check out this show!
