Mine used to be Yuru Camp, now it's Aria. The final six episodes of Origination are pure cinema.

Nichijo is the only correct answer.

K-On!

It's been a while since I last watch it; I should do a rewatch...

[–] missingno@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago

Azumanga Daioh is forever the GOAT.

YuruYuri is such a feel good and friendly anime and manga.

Just follows the life of the various girls in the tea club and some of their friends.

I've heard yuru camp is great and I've been meaning to watch it. I did start reading the manga for it recently.

Nichijou / CITY the Animation

[–] Vibi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

My favorite genre! SoL often crosses into other genres, so my answer would probably vary depending on how open we can be!

On the Romance side there's just sooo many I love- My Dress-Up Darling, A Sign of Affection, Horimiya, You and I are Polar Opposites.

For music - K-On and most definitely Sound Euphonium (in my top 3 all time)

Topic-based- DIY, Ruri Rocks, Yuru Camp, New Game

General randomess - Saiki K, YuruYuri

If I had to pick just one it would be Sound Euphonium. Absolutely beautiful series 🎵

Some I like that I don't often see mentioned:

Supercub (motor bikes)

Silver Spoon (farming)

Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater (fishing)

[–] TacticalToothbrush@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you mean Houkago Teibou Nisshi?
If not for covid situation I think it would have been more popular.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's the one! Dang COVID. So many fish left in the sea they could have caught!

I also just remembered:

Working!! / Wagnaria!! (restaurant)

Do It Yourself!! (DIY project club)

Hanasaku Iroha (hot spring / traditional hotel)

[–] Rottcodd@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hanasaku Iroha is wonderful.

Azumanga Diaoh!

Runner up: Lucky Star

Distant 3rd: Shin-chan.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 23 hours ago

I watched Azumanga Diaoh after finishing Lucky Star left a hole in my heart

I really really cannot choose a single one. Aria is a great choice though.
