K-on

What is similar? Does it need to be a band anime? Does it require social anxiety characters? Just cute girls doing cute things (CGDCT) in general? Have yuri elements?

  • slice of life (SOL) with characters playing in a band: K-ON! (band aspect is secondary)
  • SOL with anxious main character: Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu
  • general SOL/CGDCT classics: Lucky Star, Nichijou, Azumanga Daioh
  • more modern SOL/CGDCT: Kiniro Mosaic, Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka?
  • SOL with yuri: Hidamari Sketch (moderate, also a classic), Yuyushiki (lots)

edit: I personally don’t think that Bocchi the Rock! is super laid back, but if you compare it to action shows it obviously is. If you really want to go the laid back route you can look into the genre Iyashikei (“healing type”) with anime such as Non Non Biyori, Yuru Camp (still have to watch this one so can’t verify personally but is very popular) and Yokohama Kaidaishi Kikou (absolute classic).

You are probably referring to Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou. There are a lot of SOL anime so I got to choose something. Personally I think it is pretty good but not as good as some other anime that I would recommend over it. As well as the fact that Bocchi the Rock has a mostly female cast so I unconsciously selected anime that are similar in that regard. If OP wants to try something with a large male cast this is the only anime I can think of that would be fitting so it’s good that you mention it.

Do you mean “Ouran High School Host Club”, because I immediately thought that when I see this.

Yup, that’s the one.

I would also add Welcome To The NHK to the list of SOL with anxious characters. That show is amazing.

@DoucheBagMcSwag Thanks! I'll check it out.

Also I can’t understand what my husband is saying

Very short series about a 10/10 wife who married an Otaku way out of his fuckin league but she loves him and his Otaku hobbies. The running joke is that she is not an Otaku and can’t understand his hyper focused ramblings. Each episode is only a few minutes and completely worth a watch. And yes…it has an ending…at least and ending in my book

Out of curiosity: is Bocchi the Rock the first anime you watched that is not action-focused and has no monsters or extraterrestrial/extradimensional invaders?

As for my recommendation (but it’s really a shot in the dark, given the scarce detail you provided), there’s an older anime called “hitoribocchi something something” (I’m too lazy too look up the name) that I remember being pretty funny.

Hitori-bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu.
