Nijiiro Days (Rainbow Days)
1 season, 24 episodes
Genre: Slice of Life, Romance, School Life, comedy
Nijiiro Days follows the colorful lives and romantic relationships of four high school boys—Natsuki Hashiba, a dreamer with delusions of love; Tomoya Matsunaga, a narcissistic playboy who has multiple girlfriends; Keiichi Katakura, a kinky sadist who always carries a whip; and Tsuyoshi Naoe, an otaku who has a cosplaying girlfriend.
This isn't your traditional romance anime. Instead of your traditional female and male couple and following their love story; we have an all male group of friends finding love. Not in BL (boy love) kind of way but instead in a healthy heterosexual way. We get the male perspectives and interactions to dating. Don't get me wrong this anime isn't intellectually challenging, or awe-inspiring. It also has the stereotypical plots, alongside some typical tropes. However, the easygoing story with a group of characters with different personalities solidify this series as a true friendship and romance anime. So if you are interested in watching a fun and easygoing anime then knock yourself out and have some fun fawning over cute characters.
Tanaka-kun is Always Listless
Genres: Slice of Life, Comedy
1 Season, 12 Episodes
For high school student Tanaka, the act of being listless is a way of life. Known for his inattentiveness and ability to fall asleep anywhere. Tanaka prays that each day will be as uneventful as the last, seeking to preserve his lazy lifestyle however he can by avoiding situations that require him to exert himself.
This is an underrated anime. Part of the reason the anime is under represented is because it has a dull and boring presents. Although, the animation is refreshing and simple. The anime has such a carefree and easygoing ambiance, it makes it hard for you not to like it. This series does a good job of blending the slice of life moments with comedic relief. This is anime you could watch in a day curled up in bed feeling totally pleased.
Sanrio Boys
1 season, 12 episodes
Genre: Slice of Life, Shojo
Hasegawa Kouta, 17 years old, is a second-year high school student. His days are unremarkable and average when Kouta meets Mizuno Yuu, Yoshino Shunsuke, Nishimiya Ryo, and Minamoto Seiichiro, who are fellow students attending Hijirikawa High School. In an instant, Kouta's average life begins to be awash with sparkling light.
First off and foremost, this anime surrounds young high school men who love Sanrio products (Hello Kitty, etc.). This is a hit or miss anime. For many people this isn't an anime but more like an infomercial of Sanrio products. They aren't wrong but it's well done in my opinion. I appreciated the character development, however it leaves wanting more. The premise is simple and direct and alot of teenagers, boys and girls can relate to - the importance of friendships. I do enjoy how they weave in the Sanrio characters into the story line, and attached it to the main characters. Overall, this is a fun slice of life anime.
How to Keep a Mummy
1 season, 12 Episodes
Genre: Slice of Life, Shojo
When high school student Sora Kashiwagi finds himself staring down a mysterious oversized package sent to him by his self-proclaimed "adventurer" father his life is turned upside down.
This was a really enjoyable anime! The little mummy and other cute mystical creatures just make my heart melt. This being an episodic anime we are met with whimsical and adorable troubles our characters get into. There is an interesting dynamic of having humans live with mystical creatures is entertaining and we see how they grow as individuals. Overall, this is a very simple yet pleasing slice of life anime. You won't be disappointed in watching it!

Brothers Ryuichi and Kotaro lost their parents in a plane crash. They're taken in by the chairman of Morinomiya Academy, who lost her son and daughter-in-law in the same crash, on one condition: Ryuichi must babysit the kids at the daycare room in the school!
This is one of the most wholesome anime you will ever see. Ryuichi is the best big brother ever, as he raises his little brother Kotaro after the passing of their parents with the help of the chairman. This hits a little close to home for me because my older sister had a huge impact in raising me and my younger siblings. My sister became another parent. For some anime watchers this anime will be a bit relatable but over all this is a series that will make you smile. This anime is so adorably fun to watch! So check it out and get your daily dose of serotonin.

Here we have another family oriented anime with a fantasy twist. We have Dale who rescued Latina and decided to raise her as his own. He does the best he can for even though she is from the demon race. We watch Latina grow and understand the differences between her and the human race. For all its lighthearted and fluffy storytelling, there’s also moments in the show that can get violent and dark. We see this when Latina experiences some discriminatory behavior from some people because she is from the demon race. However, we also see the beauty of friendship, family and community bonds.

Kakushi Gotou is a somewhat popular manga artist whose works are known for inappropriate content. Because of this raunchiness, when his daughter Hime was born, he vowed to keep his profession hidden from her, believing that she will be disillusioned if she finds out.
This is an other anime where we have a single father trying to raise his daughter to the best of his ability. As well all know their is no guidebook in raise children, be it your own, siblings or as child care provider/guardian. This anime does a great job of capturing the feeling of being a kid to a single parent whose doing everything they can on their own. We watch this family support and love one another. One great aspect about this anime is it doesn’t sugarcoat the life of a full time mangaka or the responsibilities of a father. How hard he tries to provide and have his daughter be proud of him is wonderful to see. Overall, this is a really sweet to watch.
