Some of my favorite wholesome anime with minimal drama :]

anime that have solid female friendship, some aren't part of main theme of the show, but wholesome nonetheless

List of anime featuring at least one LGBT+ character that aren't BL or GL. I try to only put those that are either confirmed canon (in story or by the author) or so explicitly implied that there's little to none other interpretation.

-------------------------------------

>>> SOME NOTES:

- Not all of these are "perfect" representations. Some more controversial portrayals have a warning in the comments.

- (Recent update) Edited the list so that characters who's sexuality is more "up for debate" are now written down as MLM/WLW instead of the mouthful Gay/Bi/Pan (which I'd forget to write in some places anyway)

- All nonbinary people are transgender. If a character is described as nonbinary instead of trans it's just to specify that that's what the anime more heavily points at.

- For the "not BL/GL" rule I went with whatever the anime is tagged as on MAL (though some of these I believe should've been tagged when they're not...). List might change as MAL keeps editing stuff.

-------------------------------------

Please note that some of these I either haven't seen at all (look at the ratings to tell which ones they are) or watched long ago and don't remember well, so don't expect this to be 100% accurate.

Wholesome isn't a gerne it's a feeling that one gets by watching a certain anime and I see you cherish that feeling. I have arranged some of the best wholesome or slice of life anime that I've seen to calm your stress.

If you crave some light-hearted, sweet, heartfelt romance anime at the moment! Contains little to none drama between the two main characters. This list includes no sequels or side stories.

A list of Rom-com animes. This list include also some animes with serious romance + some comedy focused animes + some drama but not a heavy one.

I wrote a note in every anime I've watched.

Kansai-ben, Touhoku-ben, Hokkaido-ben, ... Japan is rich with their dialects, accents and expressions. I find certain charms to these and will try to maintain this stack adding animes involving some of these dialects.
It might take me some time to gather series and regions but I will try my best.
If you have suggestions, my comments are opens |ω･)ﾉ
(will try to take time to inform where's the dialect are from)

Various types of series that involve some sort of LGBT representation, be it in characters, relationships, plots, etc.

Includes: Gay/Lesbian/Homosexual, Trans Characters, Gender Non-Comformists, etc.
I got tired of half-baked representation and shitty ass plots slapped with a rep label on it.

Removed 10/7/23: Versailles no Bara.

Only TV shows included since you can count almost all movies here.

Shows where some characters are written and portrayed outside what is considered the standard "man" or "woman". This is my first interest stack so I just wanted to have fun with it and recommend some animes I liked under this particular idea ;^)

And happy pride month~!

Just some anime characters and whatnot in their usual hectic or peaceful lives, whichever it may be. Basically this stack is just for you to relax and vibe to, as it’s filled with comedy so you’re not stressed as you watch anime. In other words. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show as you’re dragged along for a fun ride.

life is chaotic, so sit back and turn your mind off - watch these cute refreshing soothing show :)

Who doesn't want a strong lead, and a female one at that? I mean, people stereotype A LOT in this day and age, so who doesn't want this type of unique character once in a while? Note: I tried to avoid shoujo romances as they are seen as common tropes, although there are some that I thought were personally good on the list.

Edit- I edit the title from ‘anime to watch with someone’ to ‘human drama and relationships’

The anime that often focus on deep character development, emotional stories, and realistic scenarios with no explicit content, good to watch with your friends and family.
