Fans of the beloved farm life sim Stardew Valley have a lot to be excited for this week with the hotly anticipated release of the 1.6 patch on Tuesday. The update is expected to include new festivals, items, late-game content, and improved multiplayer support, as well as a host of other player-requested features and improvements.

Stardew Valley has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a fan-made alternative to the Story of Seasons series, debuting as one of Steam’s biggest releases of 2016 and growing into a multimedia franchise that boasts a worldwide orchestral concert tour, a board game adaptation, and even a cookbook! To celebrate the game’s latest update, we’ve pulled together a list of our favorite anime we would recommend to Stardew Valley fans. These anime tap into nearly everything that has made the game such a phenomenon, from cozy vibes and lighthearted adventure to communal growth and agricultural fun!

Here are the best anime to watch if you love Stardew Valley!

Where to watch: Crunchyroll

I can’t think of a show that fits Stardew Valley better than Laid-Back Camp. Sure, Stardew isn’t so much about camping, but the two still have a lot in common. Both stories follow characters who just moved to town and are trying to find their place in a new community. The series will treat viewers to plenty of scenic moments, but the joy of Laid-Back Camp really shines through when watching its protagonist, Nadeshiko, connect with her new friends and herself through their shared loved of nature.

What’s more is that Laid-Back Camp and Stardew Valley share similarly comforting vibes. When watching the anime, the show has plenty of scenes where the girls cuddle up in their warm winter coats and sit around the fire. Everything about Stardew Valley and this show just screams, “Go curl up under a blanket and enjoy the two together!” All in all, Laid-Back Camp is the ultimate cozy anime for all the cozy gamers who like Stardew Valley. —Ana Diaz

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is one of the best 3D platformers in recent memory, but there’s been strangely little information out there on how the game has performed from a commercial perspective. Activision hasn’t ever provided any sales figures for the title- though one developer’s LinkedIn profile may have revealed new details on that front.
