    My 70-something father in law is a no-life hikkikomori who just watches anime all the time, now that he’s retired

    Try some Anime with some more mature intrigue:

    • Apothecary Diaries (Detective series from a medical/herbalogical perspective)
    • Frieren (the aftermath of being an immortal and watching your friends die)

      I’m not super into anime, no connoisseur by any measure, but I recently felt like there might be something great to watch in that area. I looked up highly rated anime and Frieren came up.

      I’ve watched a few episodes and it seems, well there’s no question it’s well made and a great story, but it’s pretty heavy. Sad at times. Does it get happier and more fun, or is this the tone throughout?

      If so I might have to try something else.

        the tone changes throughout, mostly towards a happy melancholy if that helps

    I’m 27 and I’ve definitely out-aged some of it.

    Came back to anime recently after not watching for 3-4 years and Demon Slayer and JJK have been great.

    Tried to pick up Boku No Hero again tho… no. Too old for that now.

      Being a late bloomer, I did briefly attain wizardry, but decided to trade in the powers shortly after. They were very overrated.
