A reframing/retelling of the main series that is slightly more condensed, and with a tiny amount of new content/story. Not suitable to watch "instead of" the main series, but to be done after.
ODDTAXI: In the Woods
ODDTAXI
An absolutely amazing mystery, crime, drama ride that simultaneously feels very comfortable and very dangerous.
Laid-Back Camp (Yuru Camp) Season 2
More of the same comfy vibes like last season, with a bit more immersive of a pace.
Fruits Basket (2019) – 1st Season
A more intentional, palatable remake than the original. Characters get a bit more depth and the story as a whole is treated with a bit more respect.
I Can’t Understand What My Husband is Saying
Like most short pieces, it's not phenomenal but it's short enough that it's not a waste of time. Hits its groove after a few episodes.
Horimiya
A refreshingly mature high school romcom with some solid substance and intricate characters.
Fruits Basket (2001)
While definitely an "Early 2000's shojo anime" there is a lot here that really endures (and endears) that makes it worthwhile as more than just an important contextual piece, but an excellent exploration of growth through trauma.
My Dress-Up Darling
An excellently executed delight with fantastic characters, warm fuzzies, and a fascinating dive into the cosplay hobby.
Crossing Time
A super short vignette series of interactions waiting at the Railroad crossing. Nothing special, but it beats doom-scrolling reddit/twitter for an hour at least.
Komi Can’t Communicate (Season 1)
Cute and fun, but nothing too groundbreaking. Certainly has some great moments.
