This has traditionally been my favorite type of anime basically ever since I first got into anime, but lately I've just felt like I need it more. Chances are that most things that people would mention in this thread are things I've already seen or tried, or things I already plan on watching — but honestly, just mention them anyways, because they could be useful for someone else, and I'm not opposed to rewatching or prioritizing things.
Still, I might particularly like some more "hidden gem" type recommendations.
I realized that 99% of my watch list is post-apocalyptic, horror or 2000s noir in some way.
The most wholesome shows I can come up with are Humanity has Declined, Haibane Renmei, Girls Last Tour and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. All of which are wholesome in principle, but the settings are messed up.
I guess Aria is wholesome only?
I recently discovered that anime planet is way better at recommending great older shows compared to all the other sites. So you could look up shows you like there and see what they recommend.
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou pog, Aria pog too. I haven't heard of Humanity has Declined that I can remember, the others I've heard of and sound a little interesting but more sort of long-term...
I'm not familiar with Anime Planet, I'll look into it.
