LOOK BACK is super good, and it's a short movie so it's not as much of a time commitment.

If you're into sports anime my favorite recent one is Medalist. Now is a pretty good time to pick it up since the second season starts airing in just a couple weeks!

Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon is also super good if you want more of an adventure.

Mushishi - Cool vibes, with mysteries galore

Bocci The Rock - Relatable main character with personal growth

Spy x Family - Comedy set in what would otherwise be a dark world

Try out Apocalypse Hotel!

Based on those three, Silent Witch should work for you.

I will second the Apocalypse Hotel recommendation others have offered.

Mushishi is pretty much my favorite anime ever, so I have often tried to chase that same high. Here are two that I think scratch similar itches, but are a bit different:

• Kino's Journey - This is an anthology series like Mushishi where the titular Kino goes around exploring a new city-state each episode with their own rules/culture/etc. The series can get pretty dark (like Mushishi), and happy endings are not guaranteed. This is probably my top recommendation that is the closest to Mushishi. There are two series adapting these novels. I recommend starting with the 2017 series and then watching the 2003 version only if you are really into it. Some of the episodes adapt the same part of the novels, but many are different.

• Natsume's Book of Friends - This is mostly an anthology series, but there are elements that act as story throughlines. Basically, Natsume is a student that is able to see and interact with the yokai that are all through the world, but most people can't see (this show's version of mushi). This ability is something that he inherited from his grandmother, along with a powerful book containing the names of yokai that she met in her lifetime. He then goes around trying to return the names of the yokai that his grandmother took and learn more about her and his own past in the process.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is pretty much THE peak of the last decade or so. And now's the perfect time to catch up with season two premiering in a few days.

Apocalypse Hotel for AOTY 2025. If I can convince you to just take my word and go into this one blind I think you'll enjoy it even more.

If you liked Bocchi and Spy x Family and want more goofball comedies, try Kaguya-sama: Love is War, Dungeon Meshi, and CITY: The Animation.
