"Insignificant" characters in their worlds
Anime
Anime with small, close characters that make up a tightly knitted cast. A group of friends, a small town, a collection of people and their relationships. A sense of camaraderie, a diorama of humans, a fun time to feel close to fun people.
This stack contains a collection of anime that I think best falls into this category over anything else.

A small town full of interesting characters. The comedy, the small bits of drama, the wondrous presentation, this is the "wholesome anime" that is better than all the other boring stuff people call wholesome.

People say it's the comedy that makes Konosuba good, but I think the best part of Konosuba is the amazing dynamic in the cast. The writing does not shy away from showing the flawed personalities of every character, making the cast comes alive in front of your eyes.

The first half of the anime establishes a wonderful tight-knit cast, all gathering in this dingy cheap "lab".

On top of the great cast dynamic, the humour is 100% on-point. A massive range of character types from different parts of society, tied together with funny narration.

The writing is a bit juvenile, but the feelings of a team is captured nicely. Doesn't get hung up on "passion" and "dreams", but rather dealing with people and their own goals in life.

A chilled out, fantasy take on the theme. A wide range of characters from different parts of a fantasy world mingle together. Has a "secret club" feel, along with amazing food art.

A journey through the busy streets at night, almost created like a bunch of character studies. The heightened, hyperbolic satire pairs well with portraying people with all sorts of personalities.

The only good "idol anime". The death-game like industry brings out the best and worst of all the small, insignificant people inside the big machine.

Many endearing characters with nice "life" moments. The whole town slowly gets painted in with a huge amount of characters, each down-to-earth and well-made.
The first 50 episodes kinda suck though...
