No plot, all filler!

Like the title says, I'm looking for shows to watch that are no plot, all filler, require little to no brain power, something like SNL skits for episodes. I loved pop team epic, saiki k, nichijou, masterful cat is depressed, etc. as well as asmr shows like campfire cooking are great as well. thank you in advance!

Pretty much clannad

The genre you're looking for is generally called Slice of Life. [Here's](https://anilist.co/search/anime?genres=Slice%20of%20Life&sort=SCORE_DESC) a million of them sorted by average user score.

Are you sure you wish to make such sweeping generalisations about Slice of Life? Based on your own link Mob Psycho 100 is a Slice of Life anime.

mucklaenthusiast2026-01-26 20:26

It's not really a sweeping generalisation that (basically every, but certainly) some shows are multiple things at once.

MP100 is also a slice-of-life show...at least sometimes. Honestly, I am not sure it is, but the point still stands: Shows can fit into multiple categories.

CommanderZx22026-01-26 20:31

\*shrug\* the OP asked for all filler no plot anime, but received a suggestion containing a list of all Slice of Life. I think this isn't the right genre at all to suggest, just look at the page yourself to see how many anime in there wouldn't be considered that way.

mucklaenthusiast2026-01-26 20:40

Oh, I don't think the suggestions are good, my point was that a show like MP100 could be slice of life, despite also being other things!

What genre would be better?
I feel like "all filler no plot", well, first of all, this is logically impossible (due to how the word filler works and what it means), but also I would say that SOL is certainly the genre with the least plot or most chill plots, at least from my uneducated point of view, since I don't watch those shows.

I think an SOL comedy could workd, I don't think an SOL drama can, though. Too much plot.

CommanderZx22026-01-26 20:49

Probably Gag humour from MAL, I don't think Anilist has an equivalent.

[https://myanimelist.net/anime/genre/57/Gag\_Humor](https://myanimelist.net/anime/genre/57/Gag_Humor)

Although even Gag humour includes things that don't apply, genres are just too general to be useful for this.

mucklaenthusiast2026-01-26 20:51

I mean, to be fair, the question itself is pretty difficult to answer.
Any story has a plot, even gag humour tends to have a fixed set of characters, right?
Honestly, I don't watch those things, so maybe I am wrong.

But still, I don't think something exists that genuinely doesn't have a plot.

Space Dandy kinda fits the bill here, it's episodic and nonsense at the same time

Panty & Stocking with garter belt: it's very much like old adult swim shows

Non anime - Aqua teen hunger force definitely fits the bill

Momotaro62026-01-26 20:12

Gintama. It famously has no plot. Sometimes has arcs but more than often its just the characters saying how lazy the animators and writers are.

Maxizag1232026-01-26 22:10

And then do parodies of shows and apologize 37 times just to do it again and apologize 73 times... just to do it again and again and again

City the animation

House Husband? The Way of the Househusband!

That's the one! 23 min episodes broken into 7 min stories, all goofy stuff, trips to the grocery store, the cat explores the neighborhood, very silly.

The only "plot" are lore dumps you get of Tatsu's past life as a gangster.

My Mermaid Bride maybe. Takes a lot of anime tropes and goes balls to the walls ridiculous with it all.

EpicNinjaFox20062026-01-26 21:22

Saiki K.

BiggieCheeseLapDog2026-01-26 21:28

Squid Girl is one of my favourite slice of life comedies

stetstet2026-01-26 21:52

If you liked nichijou, maybe [city the animation](https://myanimelist.net/anime/59898/City_The_Animation)? Same manga author.

Delaney202026-01-26 22:12

The Master of Killing Time is a short anime about a high school kid who finds increasingly outlandish ways to kill time in class. I watched it all in one day and consistently go back to rewatch it. I definitely think more people should see it.

Hmm. Keep in mind these are all from the 90's because...I kind of tuned out of a lot of modern anime.

Elf Princess Rane and Golden Boy have zero plot. The former, specifically, is basically a parody. Panty and Stocking, I'm sure someone already mentioned that. Space Command Luluco technically has a "plot" but it's also essentially a parody, ditto for Kamen no Maid Guy.
