Not really unconventional, because it's literally made for this, but I've gotten super into a subgenre of anime called Iyashikei. It's shows and manga with almost no. Conflict, slice of life plots, and an overall vibe meant to be relaxing and chill.
Thrill as... Some girls discover the joys of camping...a group of kids walk to the candy store... A pair of lesbians in a fleshed out fantasy world have a delightfully pleasant train ride, to go on a fishing trip.
That sounds cozy.
Great taste! Yuru Camp, Non Non Biyori, and...what's the third one? Whatever it is, it's going on my PTW list.
Thank you! The last one is Hakumei to Mikochi! It only got one season, and I feel like the manga is a bit better, but it's an Iyashikei in a unique fantasy setting, which I always really loved about it.
Neat, just downloaded it! Come to think of it, I don't think I've watched any iyashikei that are in a true fantasy setting--makes sense, since the genre lends itself to the mundane. Aria the Animation has fantastical elements, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it fantasy. And while Mushishi can be chill, it's got a liiiiitle too much body horror for me to call it iyashikei.
