Futari Solo Camp

It should be extremely obvious, but both anime are exclusively about camping, and while one is CGDCT and the other more serious and adult-oriented, they both follow very similar patterns: gourmet and slice-of-life focus, showcasing different camping sites and styles, explaining concepts regarding camping, giving tips and showing different camping equipment. You'll likely like both if you're an outdoors person or just like lowkey relaxing anime with little plot and little tension.

Ever wondered what is it like to be depressed and suicidal and then meet a literal yokai who maay or may not want to kill you? Probably not, but these anime happen to provide exactly this. They're great if you like to feel miserable!

What if cute girls traveled around Japan, meeting its landmarks and both urban and natural beauties, but one was in the modern world and the other in a post-apocalyptic near-future? These two anime somewhat mirror each other but find themselves in two completely different worlds, where the end goal of each set of characters is practically the same: discovering the world.

Have you ever dreamed of just traveling around Japan for no particular reason? Even in the apocalypse? Then dream no more! Since you will likely never get to do this, you can at least *feel* like you're doing it by watching these two anime about some cute girls deciding to randomly visit different landmarks of Japan because they happen to be able to, even once the world has ended!

Two anime about two girls at the tail end of the world, with only a motorcycle and the ruins of a once prosperous civilization. For those who like solemn melancholy and a type of existentialist dread portrayed by cute anime girls, these two will absolutely be up your alley.

Alma-chan wa Kazoku ni Naritai
|
A human-like girl robot with no expressions which becomes part of a family. Who wouldn't want this? These two anime are essentially that very concept played slightly differently, but they feel extremely similar in tone and plot development. They even have the same tropes, such as the male protagonist's sister showing up constantly to annoy him, or the robot main character having a more expressive counterpart.

Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu
|
A small countryside village where a curse is taking place, causing people to die due to a supernatural entity in the form of a person. These two anime share the exact same creepy atmosphere, dark color palettes, heavy shading, abrupt camera angles, and the same vibe of utter uneasiness caused by the claustrophobia of the rural setting that floods you whenever you're watching it.

Anne Shirley

Coming-of-age stories about the happy and the sad things. These shows both feature a cute, innocent, imaginative girl, and themes about grief, love, growth through suffering, and mono no aware; the beauty of impermanence. They don't shy away from the worst things in life, but use them as plot devices to showcase the growth of the characters. They both share this cumulative, slow-paced build up of emotions in everyday life, which make them beautiful for anyone who likes stories that touch the heart.

Anne Shirley
|
Two girls who find themselves at the crossroads of life, trying to grow into adulthood while facing hardships and realizing the impermanence of their own dreams and desires, and the joy of growth. These are cute and poetic coming-of-age stories about resilience, told through the lens of the everyday life of their characters. Their emotional weight grows procedurally, and comes in the form of the mere beauty of the atmospheres and the relationship one builds with the characters, rather than through straight catharsis from particular events.

Silent Witch: Chinmoku no Majo no Kakushigoto
|
A girl with extreme social anxiety who is absurdly good at something specific is forced to face her greatest fear and socialize with other people. The only difference is that one's a master of magic, and the other one's a master of the guitar. Other than that, they're spiritually the same, and loving one means loving the other. So watch both anime.

Random conversations that go nowhere for the sake of short-term entertainment. Conversations about love, food, relationships, family, social media, videogames and whatever other thing you may imagine. These anime exist because they can, and you'll like them both if you watch things just because you can.

Two girls with oddly similar personalities and appearances—albeit inverted—talk endlessly about the most menial or the most profound of topics. These anime are low-key, easy to digest, and heavily dialogue-based. There are just a few additional characters, but otherwise, it circles around the two protagonists only. Absolute bangers.

Have you ever wanted to listen to cute girls spend over 20 minutes debating about food? Me neither, that'd be an oddly specific wish. But, once I experienced it, I knew I wanted more. These two anime provide exactly this: pop culture, conversations about food, and the daily interactions of friends without any greater reason. The peak of low-key anime.

Do you like food? And traveling? And cute drawn girls? Great, you are probably too poor to afford the first two, and have an unhealthy obsession with the latter, but that's completely fine, because these two anime appeal exactly to the likes of you: food, the natural and urban beauties of Japan, and a bunch of girls, each with their own personality, doing things that heal your rotten soul.

I mean, damn, you literally have an unreasonably socially anxious girl in both anime; what are you waiting for to watch them???

Well, first, not going to jail, but second, when these anime girls are put in some of the most traumatizing scenarios you can possibly imagine, and you enjoy it because you're sick in the head. Thankfully this is fictional media, otherwise you and I would be going to jail.

Grab a bunch of kids, put them in the most despairing situations ever imaginable, and enjoy yourself watching them suffer while you sit in your chair eating your third bag of chips, not for a second asking yourself "is this something reasonable people enjoy?"; answer is no, but since you're likely like me, as in, not reasonable, you will absolutely love watching these slow-paced plot unfold into increasingly macabre scenarios.
