I haven't been as active in recent years when it comes to watching anime, so I'm wondering if there's any 'big hits' I've missed. I feel like I've seen a lot of anime, so I'm not confident someone would be able to recommend old stuff to me... but if there is an anime you think I'm missing out on

Looking for anime with themes of
- friendship
- abuse
- importance placed on relationships but like. in an interesting way where people don't struggle to say one thing to each other for 50 eps...
- family

or that are just gay

thanks

YOI's good, but I've seen it.

@SeijiSensei
Unfortunately I've seen most of these, but there's a few I'll try out... I've heard about 3gatsu no Lion, I'll see?

@BannoBunka_snork
Thanks for the reminder. I loved the first season

When I see masterpieces like Oniisama e and Utena rated high on your list then this one becomes a no-brainer:

Maria-sama ga Miteru

Especially considering there are four seasons available for rich relationship development between several characters not just two or three.

It's friendship, though these are "romantic friendships" aka "Class-S" relationships.

@8oomer Yeah I really do love Oniisama e and RGU, so I'll give this a shot! It looks interesting. Rich relationship development is the ideal, honestly.

The family short series is something I've never heard of too, which is refreshing. I'll give it a look.

@Ngato Seems a few people like 3gatsu! I know nothing about it aside from it being acclaimed and family oriented so I'll go in optimistically. It looks nice
