Craving More Supernatural Eats After *Kakuriyo*? You're in Luck!
Loved Aoi's culinary adventures in the spirit world? Miss the charming romance and delicious food of Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits? Then get ready! We've got some anime suggestions that'll tickle your taste buds and your imagination.
Spirited Away: A Classic for a Reason
Think of Spirited Away as the granddaddy of spirit world anime. Chihiro's journey into a bathhouse for spirits is iconic. The movie is visually stunning, filled with unforgettable characters, and explores themes of courage and identity.
It's a must-watch for any anime fan, really. You'll see some similarities in the spirit world setting with Kakuriyo.
Kamisama Kiss: A Divine Rom-Com
Nanami becomes a land god after a bizarre encounter. Now, she has to manage a shrine with a grumpy fox familiar named Tomoe. Sounds interesting, right?
Kamisama Kiss has a similar blend of romance, supernatural elements, and humor. Plus, Tomoe is quite the tsundere – if you like that sort of thing!
Restaurant to Another World: Food, Glorious Food (and Spirits!)
This anime takes the "isekai" genre and adds a dash of culinary magic. Nekoya is a seemingly normal restaurant in Tokyo. But on Saturdays, it opens its doors to customers from another world.
Imagine elves, dragons, and other mythical creatures enjoying Japanese cuisine. Each episode focuses on a different customer and their favorite dish. It’s very heartwarming, with less emphasis on romance than Kakuriyo.
The Ancient Magus' Bride: Beauty and the Beast, Anime Style
Chise Hatori sells herself into slavery and becomes the apprentice of Elias Ainsworth. He’s a powerful magus with an animal skull for a head. The premise is unusual, we know!
The Ancient Magus' Bride has a darker tone than Kakuriyo. However, it features a compelling story, beautiful animation, and a deep exploration of magic and folklore. It focuses on a relationship between a human and a non-human.
Yona of the Dawn: Adventure and Redemption
Princess Yona's life is turned upside down when her father is murdered. Forced to flee her kingdom, she embarks on a quest to find the legendary Four Dragon Warriors.
Yona of the Dawn is more action-oriented than Kakuriyo. But it shares themes of self-discovery, strong female characters, and a touch of romance. It has some amazing visuals and world-building.
