Despite having a cut and dry predictable romcom plot, the character development here is surprisingly great, as are all of the characters. We found ourselves tremendously invested.
Toradora!
Moyashimon
A surprisingly educational show about self discovery while staying funny. Definitely more interesting if you know your microbiology.
KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!
The pinnacle of well executed and clever stupid comedy. Strongly channels the vibe of if a group of stupid friends got together to play D&D, and one of those idiots is the DM.
Love is Like a Cocktail
With only 3-minute episodes, I'd hoped for more of the content to be about describing/presenting the drinks. There's some slice of life content here, but it feels a bit rushed and shallow.
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid
Beneath the cover of potent anime tropes and boob jokes lies a surprisingly sweet, hilarious, and very heartwarming comedy.
Food Wars! – Shokugeki no Soma (Seasons 1-3)
In addition to being a powerful and intense shonen, this is also the most gorgeous food anime, and a purely indulgent ecchi without any of the awkward scenarios. A definite gem.
Laid-Back Camp (Yuru Camp)
The quintessential Comfy Anime. If you need something to de-stress or something to make you feel warm and relaxed, this is the one. Also educational.
Tanaka-kun is Always Listless
This is second only to Laid-Back Camp in coziness. A delightfully dry, low energy comedy with a strong, subtle, and wholesome humor that's great to watch before bed.
Blend-S
Pretty standard fare for a single-cour slice of life comedy anime. Tropes are embraced and celebrated (and kind of the theme of the show). Nothing remarkable, but a good snack.
A Place Further Than the Universe
A very solid coming of age and slice of life piece with endearing characters and some surprisingly down to earth moments. Warm Fuzzies and crying your eyes out included.
