Chalk me up as another recommendation for A Place Further Than The Universe!

Hitoribocchi is another wonderful one I'd go for, I do prefer the manga but the anime is very good!

I'll reiterate Yuru Camp, it's as laid back and wholesome as you can get.

Also another vote for A Place Further Than The Universe. It's One of my favorites and I've been watching anime since the mid '90s. It deserves FAR more recognition than to just disappear into the seasons of bland anime.

A Place Further Then The Universe is a live changing experience.

Also Flying Witch is super comfy and wholesome. Be advised that it literally has zero drama or tension though. Just a young witch that takes the next steps to become a full fledge witch.
In the same vein you should watch Kikis Delivery Service. Another wholesome masterpiece

Messi, you are a mad lad. That studio does amazing stuff.. their colors are so vibrant! O_O Hope you're doing well these days -- getting a few tattoos is cheaper than collecting countless football shirts I guess, right?

God no, these things cost nearly 1k a piece and I've got so many lined up 😂😂. But yeah those dudes are wizards.

I still have all the football shirts. God my life is a mess lol

The Rolling Girls which is an anime about four girls who ride motorcycles and try to solve peoples problems to the best of their ability.
Aiura is about 3 girls in high school and the regular stuff they get up to. Very humourous and charming, short though.
Mitsuboshi Colors, an anime about 3 young girls who have made a group called "Colors". They go around town trying to solve little issues, be mischevious and have fun. Again, very nice and charming.

All are very pleasant anime and I highly recommend them.
Aiura especially, that's the pick of the bunch.

Dorohedoro is a very wholesome show about eating gyoza with your best friend

And killing wizards.

Baja no Studio. It's a one-shot special by KyoAni. It's really good. It's so sweet, it'll give you diabetes!

So many, OP! I'll try to list my favorites:

Haibane Renmei - angel kids chilling in a village
Usagi Drop - single dad shenanigans
Chihayafuru - the best sports anime ever
Cardcaptor Sakura - 90s magical girl shojou
My Love Story!! - a big, intimidating guy looks for love
A Place Further Than the Universe - Antarctica adventure.
Fruits Basket (2019) - an orphan moves in with a cursed family.
March Comes in Like a Lion - a depressed teenager finds happiness in a family of 3 sisters.


Those are really just off the top of my head. Lots of other great suggestions from others here.

I can't really recommend Demon Girl Next Door. It's not bad, but the show didn't resolve anything. The manga is still running and there's no indication that there's ever going to be a second season.

It sold around 8k each volume which is extremly good. The only reason that stops it from having a second season right now is that there isn't enough source material.

Also the anime wraps up at the decent point. I would definitely recommend to watch it. Super heartwarming show with fun characters and great voice acting and i really hope that we will get a second season in 2021.

I enjoyed "Run with the Wind (Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru) " quite a bit. It's a feel-good show with all the characters trying to better themselves through running.

Warms my heart seeing the Flying Witch nods. I absolutely loved that show.

+1 for the Yuru Camp and A Place Further than the Universe nods as well. And yes, bring the tissues.

Sakamachi No Apollon (Kids on the Slope)

Loved this show so much.

myanimelist.net

Sakamichi no Apollon

Introverted classical pianist and top student Kaoru Nishimi has just arrived in Kyushu for his first year of high school. Having constantly moved from place to place since his childhood, he abandons all hope of fitting in, preparing himself for another lonely, meaningless year. That is, until he...

Love this medley:

Barakamon is one of the best. Disgraced calligraphist escapes the city to a remote island and gets adopted by some of the kids of the island.

Sports anime is a pretty good genre for this. Here are some of the more grounded ones:

Run with the Wind
Haikyu!!
Tsurune
Baby Steps
Chihayafuru (not technically a sport but close enough)

It's really good.
