The Leftovers

Apothecary Diaries

I cannot stress this enough. Apothecary Diaries

Light hearted and fun (low stress):

• Kuma Kuma Kuma bear

• Mashle

• Raising kids while adventuring

• I parry everything

• Killing slimes for 300 years

• By the grace of the gods

• Fluffy paradise

Used to also recommend Bofuri but the last episode of season 2 implies heavily that season 3 is going to head way off in a completely different feel from 1+2

Lighter and did not end on a hard cliffhanger

• Aristocrat's otherworldly adventures

• Banished former hero lives as he pleases

• Campfire cooking in another world

• Level 2 super cheat powers

• Reincarnated as the 7th prince

• Parallel world pharmacy

• Sleepy princess in the demon castle

• Villainess level 99

• The wrong way to use healing magic

Other suggestions offered based on the person's preferences:

• Dungeon Meshi

• Goblin Slayer

• So I'm a spider, so what?

• Solo leveling

• That time I got reincarnated as a slime

• Dan da Dan

• The vexations of a shut-in vampire princess

• Ya boy Kongming

• Standalone complex

• One punch man

• Kill la kill

Dan da Dan is just coming out now. First episode animation looked really good and it is off the walls insane.

For anime, Ghost in the Shell. My favorite is the Stand Alone Complex series.

For TV show, Fringe. It's a sci-fi show taking place in the modern world.

For movie, Red Lights. It's about a group that disproves paranormal/super natural events. I recommend it because it's not well known.

I slept on Supernatural for a long time and now I can't stop, I'm on like season 13 and it still keeps getting better

Mr. Robot for live-action. definitely avoid looking anything up about it, there are spoilers everywhere and it's better to go in fresh. there's no good trailers for it really but if you watch the first six-minute opening scene... by the end of it you'll know whether or not the show is for you. and if you like it you will probably REALLY wanna keep watching. they go out of their way to get the tech stuff accurate and it's pretty much a cyberpunk story set in the present day. but also so much more deeper and psychological than you'd expect. my favorite show of all time, no contest. the whole thing was planned in advance and it SHOWS. it's more like one long very good movie than a television series quality-wise

and Bojack Horseman for animation. i'd also recommend avoiding spoilers for this. thematically, it gets off to a slow start pretending to be just another standard adult animation Family Guy-esque clone before it slowly morphs over the course of season 1 into a meta deconstruction of those sorts of shows and goes off the rails to truly hit its dramatic stride. and once it starts going it never lets up. it similarly hits very hard and gets pretty dark

Higurashi when they cry. Not the new stuff but the old stuff.

Just visited the village it's based off of IRL and man was it a sight to behold. Simply a beautiful area.

I will never stop recommending Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Madoka Magika.
