So I got her watching a few animes in the past year, our first was beastars, she liked it, then full metal, also one she liked, I showed her some space dandy but she wasn't totally interested, and it's been tough to find one that really hooked her. Then I found it, one day of just "eh whatever I'll put this on" we started romantic killer, and it's surprisingly really good. I like it but she loves it. Shell literally play it as her comfort show, I must have seen the season 3 times over now.

Now this is great and all, but I still wanna show her more things she'll like, any ideas? I was thinking toradora is a long the same vein but so far my suggestions have fallen kind of flat and I haven't really seen much slice of life, So I'd like to see what you all think

Some other recent, "non-standard", romantic comedies that might appeal:

  • Komi-san Can't Communicate
  • Tomo-chan Is A Girl!
  • Teasing Master Takagi-san
  • The Dangers In My Heart
  • Loving Yamada at Lv999!

If the "messed-up magical contract" setting is what she likes, check out:

  • Magical Girl "Oré"
  • Madoka Magica
  • Revolutionary Girl Utena

Toradora is quite good but I recall it being more serious. Some others like that:

  • His and Her Circumstances
  • Horimiya
  • The Ancient Magus's Bride
  • Insomniacs After School

As an aside, if you haven't seen it already, Heavenly Delusion is just a fantastic show that everyone should check out, inventive and gorgeous.

This person knows their slice of life. I'd add Skip and Loafer, but I'm a manga reader only. Heard the adaptation is good though.

Heavenly Delusion should come with a trigger warning. It's a fantastic show, but there are some very uncomfortable scenes towards the end. Idk how to spoiler tag here, but you can Google if you're concerned.
