I'm heavy into Japanese music, and I used to dig anime back in the 90s, but never fully got into modern anime. Any recommendations that aren't too cringe? I just don't want to spend the entire time I'm watching feeling sorry for everyone on the screen hahaha

Obligatory shout out that you might get more answers in [email protected], either as a post or a comment in the weekly general thread as compared to a meme community like this one.

It sounds like you want to avoid melodrama or manufactured tension. Here are a couple recent shows that popped into my head that generally fit across a couple genres:

  • Horimiya (2021) - A really well done romcom set in high school. There is a second season that aired recently, but the first season tells a pretty complete story, the second season is mainly side stories.
  • Campfire Cooking (2023) - If romance isn't your thing, you could check out this series that is a "slow-life isekai" that focuses on good food and fun companions.
  • Bocchi the Rock! (2022) - Not into either romance or cooking? Check this series out for anime girls doing music instead. This series came out of nowhere to become a lot of people's favorite of the season/year.
  • Frieren (2023-currently airing) - Think Lord of the Rings, but from an elf's perspective in that Frieren, an elf, has a functionally infinite lifespan. This fantasy series quickly became the highest rated series on MAL despite still airing its first season. It has its emotional moments, but the series so far has been an excellent adaptation of an excellent manga.
