This can leave you yearning for more at the end of every episode.
Not all anime is like this though; episodic shows are a bit more self-contained.
There are a lot of dere types out there, but which one matches your Zodiac sign the best?
Some of these have an overarching plot, but it’s not the driving force behind everything that happens.
9Mushishi
First up, we have Mushishi.
While traveling, Ginko helps those being troubled by the Mushi as well.
Overall, Mushishi is a true episodic anime.
There is no plot or end goal, but in each episode, you’ll get Mushi and Ginko.
This anime follows Gintoki, who does odd jobs around the city of Edo alongside Shinpachi and Kagura.
If you are looking for an absolutely hilarious show, then look no further than Gintama.
In each episode, you’ve got the option to expect something new and most likely very funny.
The side characters themselves are great too.
Anime of this genre typically doesn’t have stressful conflicts, and Encouragement Of Climb fits in perfectly.
This show follows a group of girls who just really like climbing mountains.
Each episode brings a new adventure for the main characters to experience.
Who knows, watching this may even motivate you to plan a peaceful hike!
6The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. is another episodic comedy.
These anime shows are the funniest of all time.
Overall, this anime is perfect if you want an episodic slice-of-life show.
5Cowboy Bebop
At this point, you’ve probably heard about Cowboy Bebop.
This anime is recommended pretty much everywhere, and it’s for a good reason.
4Laid-Back Camp
Laid-Back Camp is another Iyashekei anime (like Encouragement of Climb).
Instead of hiking though, this group of girls love camping in beautiful places.
Of course, they also like to eat yummy food while doing so.
Each episode of Laid-Back Camp features a new camping trip, with some extending beyond the episode.
Unexpected monsters, unforgettable moments!
In each episode, you’ve got the option to watch a new situation unfold.
2Spy X Family
Spy X Family doesn’t seem to be too episodic at first glance.
The show follows a ‘family’, with each member hiding a secret from the others.
1Nichijou
Last but not least,we have Nichijou.
As such, both are packed with comedy and episodic hijinks.
We highly suggest watching both Nichijou and Daily Lives of High School Boys.
Though many anime characters wear glasses, these are the most memorable.
