Haibane is my favorite but I never succeed in getting anyone to watch it T.T

Your Name. in “mid” is a take you don’t see often.
If you take suggestions, put Haibane Renmei and Fune Wo Amu on your PTW list. And try out some of the highlights from other genres. For example, Non Non Biyori (iyashikei), Strawberry Marshmallow (CGDCT), Nana (josei) and Monster (suspense).

Yeah, and Steins;Gate 0 rated higher than the original… What?

It almost became my Christmas rewatch this year, but in the end I decided I needed something with a stronger adventure/action vibe to distract me from the world we’re now living in. 🫤

On one hand, I’m always shilling it, on the other, I feel a bit gate-keepy about it and don’t want a flock of tourists shit all over it.

Wow a fricking Ichigo Mashimaro recommendation in the wild. Shows can be both CGDCT and Iyashikei, and they often are. Non Non Biyori is definitely also a CGDCT and Ichigo Mashimaro is quite iyashikei depending on how you receive it. But good picks for sure.

Sure, there aren’t that many shows that are just one thing (none come to mind at all). I just put what I considered the main genre. Though putting Strawberry Marchmallow into the iyashikei genre is a new one for me. I obviously get “CGDCT” and “comedy” but I would say it’s only iyashikei if one generally considers watching CGDCT as healing/comforting. Different strokes and all that.

I think Ichigo Mashimaro is quite iyashikei because of things like pacing, music, ambient sounds, wholesome moments, those little vignittes between scenes. It just kinda breathes nicely, there is space between jokes and lines. Soft music, kind moments. The environment feels real and “encompassing” (a bit like in non non biyori). For me CGDCT is kinda iyashikei in general but Ichigo Mashimaro is definitely significantly more iyashikei than average to me. A SOL CGDCT that is less iyashikei and more comedy to me is something like Ika Musume. Peak iyashikei to me is ARIA, highly recommended for pure brainmelting wholesomeness.

Thanks for the suggestions! already added them.
I knew Nana for a while, in my search for josei/shoujo anime to watch (i found myself extremely lacking in that particular demographic)
