I relate to this pretty hard. I am lucky enough that my wife is fairly tolerant of anime weirdness since she is an old school anime fan as well (though not as tolerant as I am). However, friends that have asked me for recommendations in the past have been turned off by things that hadn't even phased as weird at the time. It has caused me to think about these kinds of things a bit differently. Like your partner, I am also a big fan of Bob's Burgers, GBBO, and Ted Lasso, so here are a couple that come to my mind with what you have written in mind. I also marked the ones that I watched together with my wife and she liked them.
There are a couple others that I see recommended as wholesome quite often that I have not seen, so it might be worth checking others' opinions first: Yuru Camp, A Place Further Than the Universe, Non Non Biyori, Flying Witch.
Good luck!
A Place Further than the Universe is goated. Its story is simple but a masterclass in execution.
Yuru Camp is one of the wholest-some anime out there.
Thanks for relating. It's hard to explain to people who know only anime fans. I wouldn't have felt comfortable posting that in the Reddit anime community because people would've just told me to tell my partner to get over it or some thinks just the culture, but Lemmy felt nice enough that I felt comfortable to do so.
And apparently I came to the right place for suggestions. These all sound great! I can't wait to watch them.
Hating anime because of questionable content is like hating books because The Anarchist Cookbook or Mein Kampf exists. Anime is a medium that houses multiple genres, including ones you don't want to see. They may have greater freedom/available audience that are willing to watch "those" things, so they exist.
reddit is an enormous community, for better and for worse. I think a lot of people in that community have only ever known anime after it has had broad popularity and there have been forums (like reddit) in which like-minded people can talk about it. Glad to have you here and have fun!
Since your initial post, my brain did come up with another recommendation that doesn't feature anime weirdness, but is not necessarily wholesome. This one is my-wife approved as well:
I watched and recommend all of them:
Some more recommendations:
These all sound great and very appropriate, too! Thanks! Definitely bookmarking this comment for future reference lol.
