Drama and relationships
Anime
Edit- I edit the title from ‘anime to watch with someone’ to ‘Drama and relationships’
The anime that often focus on deep character development, emotional stories, and realistic scenarios with no explicit content, good to watch with your friends and family.

This sequel to 'Clannad' starts shortly after the events in that series. What I love about the series is the Emotional Impact it made. Never before has a series ever made me so emotionally attached to its characters as this. It's funny, it's serious, and especially sad. This show is guaranteed to make anyone cry.

A family life anime with the theme of sports (shogi -Japanese chess). The story is bit slow which mainly focus on characters and their daily life struggles. I won’t say much about this anime, just go watch and see for yourself. It’s worth it.

I really love this anime but I have to say its a specific, having some economics explained in the anime but if you are fine with that its a best romance anime between a human and a non-human character, it's a series about the relationship between Lawrence and Holo and their adventures together. This is a good one for the whole family and I am sure if you like this anime you will definitely love Holo

This is the only anime that I think is underrated, really nice visuals, soundtrack and likeable character with great amount of focus on their development. There was several tear-jerking moments that will surely pull at your heart strings. If you're in the mood for a sweet story to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, this is a must watch.

The anime that tells you what it means to have bond with someone and moving forward no matter how dark your past is. Fruits Basket deals with some serious topics and traumas even though it has lots of romance and fantasy. The first season is lighthearted, but the second season gets dark, intense, and story executed perfectly in final season.

A romance drama with some supernatural element in it, the anime is not like the generic school anime, the characters are realistic, likable and each of them have clear character arcs. ReLIFE reminds us that life is beautiful, and even though it may have its complications, it's the most joyous gift we'll ever receive. It tells us to go forth and meet true friends, widen our personal horizons and to fall deeply in love.

Let me first tell you the anime is about Rakugo(Japanese verbal entertainment) if you find this concept boring then you won't be able to enjoy this anime, so I'd recommend don't watch this if you don't like the concept and historical drama, if you are fine with this then it is simply an undeniable art.

It's not just your standard Yuri, but it goes super in depth for each character and they feel fully real and I connected to them in ways I thought I wouldn't for any other character. This is a beautiful anime and it wastes no time in any episode. My most fav thing about the anime is its main character, her character basically explains what it means to be romantically interested in someone.

The most realistic movie of Ghibli and its not an opinion its a fact. It's a truly great film. It's a remarkably honest and heartfelt look into a 14-year-old's life, her family and friends, how she falls in love. The characters feels real that anyone who has been a young teen can relate to them.

I like this anime, the music and animation but i don't like how the author handles the love triangle, and also it feels stretched to me, lots of people love this anime though.

The movie shows the view of war from the eyes of civilian. A very emotionally touching story and you are likely to cry while watching this gem. Although it gets off to a very slow start, it compensates with a beautifully-executed second half.

The determination that the characters showed in the anime proved to me that nothing is impossible as long as you are determined to do it. Loveable characters, emotional and a heartwarming adventure; in short a story of friendship on a journey to a place further than the universe.

The art in this show beautiful, the main character is hilarious, she is smart, intelligent, exactly knows what she is doing and most of all she is funny, which makes her really likeable as an MC. It comes off as a bit of a mystery for most episodes, but each episode feels fresh and engaging.

The anime about a girl raised from a loving family in a countryside move to city, chasing her dream and making new friends. This is one of those slice of life anime which I personally enjoy from start to finish simply because Mitsumi(the mc) feels very genuine. Give it a try you won’t regret it.
