i just did a quick skim so sorry if any of these are repeats / consider them a +1 if they are!

i like a lot of slice of life and magical girls and these are some of my favorites:

Barakamon -- calligrapher with anger issues gets sent to an island to learn patience & self-control, meets the "wacky locals" who take him in, 10/10 heartwarming

Princess Jellyfish / Kuragehime -- Tsukimi and her friends are a bunch of otakus who live together, swearing off men and pretty/popular people forever in an apartment complex they call the Nunnery. Each of them have their prefered topic of nerdom, and Tsukimi's is jellyfish. Her life is turned upside down when a pretty woman helps her save a jellyfish-- and things get even stranger when she learns that this pretty woman is a man who enjoys wearing women's clothes to avoid the obligations of politics and to feel closer to his mother. Lifetime fave!!

Beyond the Boundary / Kyoukai no Kanata -- I can never describe this one very well so I sniped the description from Wikipedia; "One day, high school student Akihito Kanbara instinctively goes to save his fellow schoolmate, Mirai Kuriyama, from committing suicide. Following his pleas, Mirai suddenly stabs Akihito with a sword formed out of her own blood and is shocked to discover that Akihito is an immortal "half-youmu"—the offspring of a supernatural creature, called a youmu, and a human. After learning that Mirai is a Spirit World Warrior (異界士, Ikaishi)—specialists who protect humans from being affected by youmu—and the last surviving member of her spirit hunting clan, their lives become intertwined as Akihito seeks to help Mirai gain the confidence to kill youmu so that she may stop attempting to kill him as practice." --- really good, I need to rewatch soon.

@Totalanimefan: No worries at all!! Thank you so much for it, I really appreciate it. :)

@xvz: thank you for the info, that's super helpful!! the job is fine. it's strange to be working at a college campus during all of this but our students have been as safe as they can be and our cases have been low, so on the whole it's good!

@ everyone else: thank you so much for your warm welcomes!!
