Cartoons mean Cuteness! Isn’t it? They can be referred to as cartoons only if there is an element of attractiveness and adorableness and if it inspires your inner child.
I won’t call a cartoon if it is gloomy and too adulterated with an adult version. They may be crafted or drawn as per the defining norms of being a cartoon, but the feeling it imparts makes it more sensible to its innate nature.
So friends! Let’s cherish this innocence and cuteness in the anime world, too! Here, I have come across some of the cutest Anime series, which will really make you say “Kawaii”!
For those who don’t know the meaning of “Kawaii”, it’s a Japanese colloquial word that refers to cuteness.
The list of Top 20 “Best Cute Anime That Will Make You Say Kawaii” goes like this.
20. Fruits Basket
I definitely expect the sweetness of Fruits from this anime series! Just Kidding!
What a plot! Just wow! Truly narrates the state of a person in their weakest hours! Don’t we turn to devils when we are enraged or incited? Definitely, we do, and so do the cursed members of the Sohma family of the “Fruit Basket” manga series.
Here, the criteria to turn to devi or animals of the respective Chinese Zodiac signs are not abided by anger but also encompass emotions such as fear, intimacy with the opposite gender, and mental stress.
The sweet little girl named Tohru, after knowing the cursed truth of her family, decides to set all of them free from the Chinese Spirit.
Though she lacks her parents and emotional support, she exhibits immense strength to become the supporting pillar of her cursed family. Her acceptance and affirmation of the cursed members give them strength to fight the possessed evil.
A must-watch anime for Tohru’s visual cuteness and for her emotional appreciation, too!
19. Himouto! Umaru Chan
Sisters are definitely caring beings, but it has some cost attached to it! Only the younger brother knows what he has to pay in exchange for this warm protection!
If you think I am wrong, then ask Taihei, the younger brother of Umaru Chan. Don’t you see the poor Taihei doing the household chores, whereas his sister Umaru is busy enjoying food, her friends’ company, and virtual games?
Despite her tantrums and spoiled behavior, she looks so captivating in her orange hoodie dress. Being a kid, her body language also resonates with her cuteness.
