Hello!

I'm Nexon Picker 피스타임.

When we grind in MapleStory,

we use a Wealth Acquisition Potion, also known as jaehoekbi.

That's why we often call these farming sessions “jaehoek.”

Here are a few great anime I enjoyed watching while farming.

Low-Key but Comfortingly Consistent

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

I went into Frieren: Beyond Journey's End without particularly high expectations.

The first episode actually made me a little sleepy, so I wondered whether I'd enjoy it,

but the more I watched, the more absorbed I became—and before I knew it, I was getting through one farming potion after another.

Frieren is something of an overpowered protagonist,

but rather than stepping in herself, she travels with Fern and Stark

as a supporting figure, so there's also the enjoyment of watching them grow.

She's also an elf who's over 1000 years old,

and it's fascinating to see the stories from her long life gradually unfold.

Best of all, there's plenty to watch across 2 seasons,

with a 3rd also planned, so you'll get through quite a few farming potions.

There was also a recent collaboration with MapleStory,

so you can pick up outfits, merchandise, and even pets.

If you enjoyed the anime, you can enjoy it in-game too!

Getting to celebrate your fandom in the game is the biggest perk.

Incredibly Immersive

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

My next recommendation is Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

I was actually just getting into anime around the time this came out.

It captures the world of Cyberpunk perfectly,

and pairs it with a heartbreaking story that made it a great watch.

It deserves your full attention, though, so I'd save it for when grinding doesn't take much effort.

The Joy of Watching Characters Grow

Hunter x Hunter

My final anime recommendation is Hunter x Hunter.

It's based on an older manga, but it got a new anime adaptation in the 2010s,

so the art style still looks quite good.

Watching an ordinary kid become a licensed Hunter

and go on to tackle major challenges gives the series a satisfying sense of growth,

while plenty of episodes also give you a lot to think about.

You'll meet plenty of likable characters with distinctive personalities, too.

There's plenty to watch, and the pacing isn't too fast,

so I found it a great companion for relaxed grinding sessions.

You might find this lineup a little predictable.

Still, if you haven't seen these yet, do give them a watch while grinding.
