She learns that she had been engaged to Hakuya Mitsumine. Because of that Hakuya and his sister came to live with Kobeni and her family.
The story is usually about the past life of Kobeni and Hakuya, but over time the past begins to reveal and the story just gets more and more kawaii.
One of the reason that makes this anime more kawaii are the characters. Especially the main characters Hakuya, Kobeni and Mashiro. Not only do they look kawaii but also their personalities.
Their kawaii appeal goes well with the story. Also, Mashiro is the cutest of all the characters here. This Kawaii anime has a high kawaii appeal overall and a great character development in the story.
7 - New Game
The main character here is Aoba Suzakaze, a girl who just graduated from high school and begins to work at a game company. This kawaii anime has a lot of appeal and is a great combination of school and game creation.
This story is about the main character’s struggle in the game company and also with the teammates. There is much kawaii in the show as the way interacts with each other is a more kiddish cute style.
Again, the cutest part of this kawaii anime are the characters. Each of the 4 characters are shown to bring out their cuteness and their character development help raise their kawaii appeal.
Another reason why this is in the kawaii list of anime is its art. It is simple, nothing too complicated but the style just brings a whole level of kawaii appeal to the show.
It is a balance between the cute and funny with more serious work related moments. The sound tracks here are great and properly set the mood of the scenes.
6 - Hanayamata
This show is basically about cute girls being cute girls. This kawaii anime is about five middle school girls who join a club called Yosakoi dedicated to performing a modern Japanese dance. It’s an anime about the friendship of these girls named: Naru Sekiya, Hana N. Fountainstand, Yaya Sasame, Tami Nishimikado andMachi Tokiwa.
One of the most kawaii things about this anime are the characters. These girls are really cute and it does it without going to extra about it
Hanayamata does not focus on the girls just enjoying life and being cute, there is actually a story but still has those kawaii overload scenes. There is a lot of visual beauty with great character development. It is a colorful treat that shows a lot of cuteness but still can get very deep.
Every character. The animation in every scene is spot on and every character has a certain level of cuteness. This is an amazing show and the character development is great.
5. Hanamaru Kindergarten
This an anime about a kindergarten where these little children compete for the attention of their caretaker. The characters here are just the cutest you will ever see. I mean, how can kindergarteners not be cute?
This kawaii anime has a very high cuteness level. It is a cute, slightly romantic comedy anime. The kindergartener main characters just spit out comments that make you laugh and aww out loud because of their cuteness.
The kindergarten is a kind of place that made you wish you were enrolled in that school when you were five. It even has a slide going down the second floor.
The episode is filled with random comedy moments and just filled with kawaii overload. It has a lot of funny and adorable moments that makes you wish you had children as cute as the kindergarteners here.
4. Himouto! Umaru-chan
This show is about a girl named Umaru Doma. Just like other kawaii anime, it is about a teenage girl in her high school days. What makes this different is she is the perfect example that people are not always what they appear to be.
Umaru Doma seems like a perfect high school girl, until she goes home and that’s when the real Umaru Doma comes out. She wears her hamster hoodie and she transforms from a top of the class student, into a messy, lazy, couch potato who eats junk food and plays video games and who leaves all her school work to her responsible brother Taihei. This makes sense as Himouto! Umaru-chan Is slang for “my two faced little sister.”
This kawaii anime is a cute show that follows the life adventures of Umaru and Taihei. What makes this more kawaii is how Umaru is this attractive girl who has blonde hair with a pale skin with a small face and rosy cheeks.
This anime is both relaxing while giving you quality comedy and cute characters to pair with it.
3 - Pokemon
This anime might be the most famous Japanese anime there is. The Pokémon characters itself is enough reason to be considered kawaii anime. This show is about Ash whose lifelong dream is to be the best Pokémon trainer. With the help of his friends and his own Pokémon Pikachu, he travels the world to be the best and beat all the gym leaders and catch new Pokémons along the way while avoiding people like Team Rocket.
What makes this a kawaii anime is the aesthetic of it all, the never ending Pokémons to be discovered and the story itself. Although honestly, the Pokémons itself brings enough kawaii appeal to be considered on the list.
The story lines are great, and it comes to no surprise how they are still making more episodes of it with new Pokémons to go with it. The kawaiiness of the show is just one of the many reasons it took over American pop culture.
2. Tsurezure Children
This story is about more than twenty characters in a high school setting. Each episode shows two characters and seems to perfectly show realistic puppy love situations that will make you happy and giggly inside. Its Art is great and this kawaii anime is just super fun and satisfying to watch. It is not your typical romantic comedy and each couple has different endings.
If you are a fan of romance and laughter then this is perfect for you. It has a colorful cast with all sorts of characters, however they are not interconnected which makes it unique.
Since there are a lot of them, there are a lot of kawaii charters to see. Each episode shows something cute and might be one of the cutest kawaii anime in the list.
1. Nichijou My Ordinary Life (1)
This anime focuses on the daily life of three friends in high school who have known each other since they were still kids. These girls' names are Mio Naganohara, Yuuko Alioi and Mai Miankami.
Soon they cross with three other characters: this genius, Hakase Shinonome, her robot caretaker Nano, and Sakamoto, a talking cat.
The anime revolves around these characters who are as cute as they can be and it definitely is worth its spot among the top 10 best kawaii anime shows. There are a lot of swings where one moment it is just a mundane day then it becomes insanely bizarre and absurd. It is as random as they are cute.
This is my number one as the humor of the show is just great and there are a lot of scenes that are filled with kawaii overload. This anime will sure make you love and enjoy every scene of it.
