If you enjoyed Yuru Camp and would like to watch something similarly low-stakes and cute, maybe check out New Game, it's an anime about an all-female team of video game developers working for a sometimes-struggling company.

Also...have you seen Yuri on Ice? Because if you haven't...that's one to see.

did you check out cowboy Bebops sister series Space Dandy and Samurai Champloo?

Obviously 20th century anime is best anime (and I see you already have some listed), so check out:

They do still make good stuff these days, though, amongst all the total bizarre trope-packed stuff:

Thought of a few I overlooked in my earlier post.

For older stuff, try the Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō OVAs. The manga is better, or rather, more complete. It is being officially published in English as of earlier this year, by Seven Seas Entetrainment. Rejoice!

Another more recent series I quite enjoyed was ReLIFE. It has a slightly "out there" plot for my tastes (though it's absolutely tame by modern day standards), but its actually very well done.

Oh wow, these recommendations are awesome! I'm checking out the trailers and everything looks great! Thank you.

The only things mentioned that I've seen before are:

Battle Programmer Shirase is a good choice if you are into programming.

If you're interested in yuru camp may I suggest some of my favourite slice of life anime: hidamari sketch, tamayura, gochiusa and sketchbook full colors. Warning these may not be too deep in the "show about nothing" level for beginners.

Te puedo recomendar Spice and Wolf, Serial experiments Lain también es interesante

On the SF / fantasy side:

- Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou: Quiet Country Cafe

- Dennou Coil (because you like Lain)

- Last Exile

- Haibane Renmei

- Starship Operators

People here had quite a few interesting recommendations already, thank you all! If you enjoy deeper and a bit more abstract anime I'd personally suggest:

+1 for the YKK manga! It's pretty damn good!

Also, I'm not sure anyone mentioned the following:

I've found these two pretty soothing in the same way as Dragon Maid

Edit: wow, just realized the extent of my necroposting

I so very much appreciate that I am still getting anime recommendations from this thread. I have bookmarked everything recommended and while I doubt I will get to them all, I have thoroughly enjoyed what I have watched. As far as I am concerned, necropost away!

@iiogama didn't expect a reply :)

Also watch 86. It's gut-wrenchingly good, and you'll be all the happier for Barakamon and Witch Watch after it

Edit: Oh! And Dungeon Meshi!

Edit Edit: ... and Undead Unluck... So I'm a spider so what...

I'm running on 4 hours of sleep and I can't remember s**t

Edit Edit Edit: Sakamoto Days!
