It's the simplicity of each one of these that make them so delightful to watch. The Cat Returns might not be realistic, but that's not the point of this recommendation anyway. Just cheer up.

In a world where hopelessness has blended into everyday life, a dystopian tale about some teenagers and their struggles. Anyway, frankly speaking, there really is no hope; the earth is about to end.

Movies where nothing much happens, trying to be as realistic as possible, aimed at adults and will only be appreciated if you watched them alone, at night; When it's really, really quiet.

If you never complained about Monster's side stories then you'll pretty much feel at home.

What if Satou was a girl or vice versa? Both shows discuss the same case about someone with severe anxiety disorder and clinical depression, while Satou is what we call "hikikomori" in Japanese, they still both share the same issue. Welcome to the NHK is darker and is somehow more serious though, moreover, it offers some solutions and doesn't just put the lead character in situations to crack some laughs.

same author, same studios, same atmosphere, huge cast. non-linear storytelling, quirky characters. Isaac and Miria appeared in both shows since they share the same universe.
