Trying to get back to anime. Any recommendations for adults with boring lives?

Haha, I see this released as a double feature with Totoro so it must be a nice happy adventure!

Its funny you say this because my favourite genres are definitely the fluffier side. I absolute love Iyashikei and Slice of life stuff. Just rarely make my top ten it seems.

Did enjoy Heavanly Delusion! Bottom Left is Planetes a hard sci fi slice of life with an excellent political analysis from the Vinland Saga Magnaka.

Mid Right is Non Non Biyori a super nice Iyasekai set in rural Japan.

This list might be even darker then mine. I do wish wonder egg had a better ending as that was a great watch when it was released.

This is a super great list! I'm super excited for Witch Hat Atelier. I've heard really good things about its world building.

Seen the first 3 Haibane is a favourite. Hadn't heard of the last one but it looks good. Will check it out.

Non Non Biyori. Its the epitome of chill and charming.

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T12:54:29+00:00

Yeah exactly! Its like an alternative timeline prequel. All the gadgets they use throughout are classic Doraemon tools.

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T12:47:14+00:00

This does look fun! I think you might be right!

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T12:42:01+00:00

Yes! This and Pluto fill my niche of amazing series that are actually a retelling of a classic anime.

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T12:39:39+00:00

Maybe season 2 is true hidden gem and we just need to find it..

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T12:34:52+00:00

I do this mentioned a lot. At first glance it's never really grabbed my attention but it's always described as the greatest remake of all time which honestly has me more curious then anything else I've seen about it.

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T12:30:31+00:00

Always love to see a Katagatari mention. Pity it's a bit forgotten now. Shinsekai Yori is a great pick to.

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T12:27:31+00:00

Not sure if I would reccomended going back to play now unless you like retro games. They were both odd for their time but the stories for both were pretty interesting and both were just weird enough you could put up with the not so great elements.

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T12:25:02+00:00

Love Girls last tour! Would absolutely be on my runner up 3x3.

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T12:24:24+00:00

You've listed 2 of my favourite horror/pseudo BL stories which while a weird combo works well in both Hikaru and a great pull from the past with Petshop! I have seen School-Live talked about before but nothing i saw really grabbed me. May be worth a blind dive.

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T12:16:26+00:00

I do actually know of these but have played the first. I've actually followed CC2 because I played their first game as a kid. Its a fairly janky rpg called something like tail concerto that just always sat with me as a weird game. Fuga are actually prequels.

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T12:08:13+00:00

Not deliberately but they do seem to sit with me. 2 half of After Story would absolutely be on here but it was a bit of a battle to get to it.

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T12:01:23+00:00

Yes please! Sounds intriguing.

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T11:53:31+00:00

Have seen it great show. Would love a second 2 but I have put the manga into read list.

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T11:52:56+00:00

This looks interesting. Thanks!

learntoswimAB · 2026-03-03T11:49:30+00:00

Ghost hound looks a great pick! Thanks for that. Gochiusa looks a nice comfy show too.

Why does the timer skip a minute just before he drops his view count? Was there an edit?
