This anime does not exist but it should

>Deep
There's that word again.

Personally i like the idea of a relistic show but most weebs are losers looking for an escape from reality through anime so yeah probs wouldnt do so well

Unironically hyouka.

Why does it have to be hamfisted? It seems like a lot of you guys just insert negatives when it's completely unnecessary. Like I said in the post, this hypothetical show would be well written. The drama would be thematically consistent and be driven by the actions of the characters in the show.
Fuck off with your unnecessary negativity.

No, it'd still have a focus on Japanese culture. If depicting young adults in a realistic setting is exclusively a Western ideal, then the rest of the world has failed, or you have a warped perspective on fiction.

Yeah, deep. The opposite of shallow. A focus on interpersonal conflict as opposed to comedic gags. It's a perfectly fine word to use in this context, it seems to me like you're being needlessly pedantic.

Sweet, looked it up and it's definitely in the ballpark of what I described. I'll check it out.

Why would any well-adjusted adult want to watch crap like that?

Are you actually asking or are you just retarded? Interpersonal drama has been a staple of fiction for a long time, and people enjoy watching entertaining and complex characters. Pair that with a relaxing setting and the already popular genre of Slice of Life, and this would be an enjoyable show.
Why would any well-adjusted adult want to watch needless fanservice? I'm seriously asking, because anime has been scourged by bouncing titties and panty shots for decades now and people seem to eat that shit up.
Do you have any actual criticisms of this idea or are you just going to keep projecting?

!!Poorly disguised /r/ thread alert!!

That show does exist, several times, in fact.
Also, you're a faggot.

Because youth dramas are for the emotionally stunted.

fuck you got me detective, I'll turn myself in immediately

That's a generalization and a half, not to mention another clear projection of your insecurities. But sure, I'll bite.
Youth dramas have been popular in both Western and Japanese fiction for centuries. From The Goonies to Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Durarara!!, stories involving teens and young adults coming of age can be a fun way to reminisce on one's own youth in a healthy way, on top of providing conflict and plot points specific to that age range that adults don't deal with (school drama, young love, etc).
Basically you're a dipshit

your favorite series with your favorite ship (even the crack ones)

Fine, enjoy your faggy teen drama,

>Romcom
Already trash

I would if it existed, but I'm glad that you've finally admitted that you're wrong and stupid

I never said RomCom, I said interpersonal drama with romantic and comedic elements. There's a difference there.
Am I crazy for wanting a show that depicts a cute but realistic and flawed friendship among a cast of interesting characters? That seems pretty fucking reasonable to me, honestly.

I stand by my statement of youth dramas being for those who haven’t matured past their teenage years.

Here's the issue with that mindset. I am a well adjusted adult with a loving girlfriend and a great group of friends. Unfortunately, I am also in a global pandemic quarantine and it is harder to hang out with my friends as a group.
It's nice to have a TV show that depicts friends hanging out, but I find shows like Friends and Gilmoure Girls to be mind numbingly boring. I enjoy anime and would like to see an anime that depicts a fun friendship that I can watch while I am unable to hang out with my own friends.
It's healthy escapism, and there's nothing wrong with it. I'll stand by my statement that you only think the way you do because you are projecting your insecurities about your social prowess and maturity onto this genre as a whole.

I just don’t like teenagers. I prefer adult and child characters

Those types of shows are uninteresting user. Doesn't matter if you try to have it be well written, no one wants to watch people in their early 20s doing their quirky shit and having group dramas, because IT IS STALE.

>waaah waaah the pandemic ruined my social life

That's a subjective opinion and you are entitled to it. Personally, I don't need explosive action scenes and flopping titties flashing on my screen every 5 seconds to be entertained, but you're free to enjoy what you want. As long as the show has complex characters and a plot driven by their actions along with well written dialogue, I'm a happy man.

>inb4 I said deep and well-written
Hyouka fits OP's description perfectly. The people who complain about anime like this are usually the type who don't try to dig deeper to find more anime. Zig Forums is at the point where there are people who haven't heard of Hyouka posting here. I'll give some more recommendations for the OP that might be close to what he's looking for before this thread gets deleted for being a request thread. Not all of these have romance.
Anohana (Maybe controversial to recommend it, but it fits the objective descriptions, and I watched it a long time ago and thought it was okay)
Aria
Barakamon
Chuunibyou
Hanasaku Iroha
Hibike Euphonium
Kokosake (same opinion as Anohana)
Nagi no Asukara
Ping Pong
Shirobako
Sora Yori
Tamako Love Story (watch Tamako Market first)
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (one of those "read the manga after" because the anime doesn't stop at a place that could be considered a satisfying ending)

Honey and Clover is kind of like that.
But I mean no anime has "deep and well written characters with complex interpersonal relationships". It's anime lad. Nips don't do subtlety or nuance.

literally watch an Ozu movie, even the one all about farts blows the best SoL anime out of the fucking water

Where did I say I like shonenshit with titties? Your idea is objectively boring and everyone who actually watched any type of media for a long period of time will admit it.

Dagashi Kashi would fit this description, if it weren't for all the dagashi bullshit.

Thanks for the recommendations, but this is unironically NOT a recommendation thread.
>But I mean no anime has "deep and well written characters with complex interpersonal relationships". It's anime lad. Nips don't do subtlety or nuance.
This is my point. This anime doesn't exist, but it should. Imagine a show with the expressive artwork and animation of an anime, but writing that transcends the superficial and shallow characters and plots that we tend to see. I've certainly never seen that because it doesn't exist, and I invite any user to prove me wrong. It looks like Hyouka might be a counter to my post, so I'll check it out and see if it indeed is what I described.

Sounds like you're the only one with that opinion, so far, plenty of other anons are discussing SoL similar to what I described. You made your point, you don't like the idea. I disregard your bad opinion. You can go now. No more (You)s for you.
