Farmagia

Meet Ten, a farmer who grows monsters from seeds. Not metaphorical seeds, actual seeds you plant in the ground, water, and harvest into creatures that fight alongside you. In the underworld realm of Felicidad, these monster-cultivating folks are called Farmagia, and Ten lives a pretty chill life in the town of Centvelt with his friends Chica, Arche, Leii, and a fairy named Lookie-Loo. They tend their fields, hang out with their monster companions, and things are good. Then the ruler of Felicidad dies, and one of the six generals who served under him, a guy named Glaza, decides he's in charge now. Peaceful farming life is over. Ten and his crew find themselves pulled into a resistance against a new tyrant, guided by Nares, the more reasonable general who governs their continent. It's a 12-episode TV series from Studio Bridge, based on a game, with character designs by Hiro Mashima, so if you liked the look and energy of Fairy Tail or Edens Zero, that aesthetic is all over this. The soundtrack pulls in Asian Kung-Fu Generation, which is a nice touch. The whole vibe sits somewhere between Rune Factory's cozy monster-farming charm and a classic shonen power struggle. It doesn't reinvent anything, but if you want a fantasy adventure with a farming twist and that familiar Mashima warmth in the character dynamics, this scratches that itch pretty well.
