I could do with a recommendation or two. I don't have much time for anime, so nothing more than 26 episodes. Dubs only so I can build Lego. I've enjoyed slice of life like My Dress Up Darling, as well as some classics like Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion. What's fresh nowadays?

Two thinly disguised slice-of-life shows that are running right now: Tis Time For Torture Princess, and Mr Villain's Day Off

Both of them are quite wholesome too!

Thanks, I'll have a poke through trailers for the ones new to me!

Frieren has a good dub from the few clips I watched. Currently airing.

Haibane Renmei. Never heard the dub but loved the subbed version. Older show, but a hidden gem IMO.

Thank you, I have seen Frieren mentioned, will investigate.

you should, it's really good. meanwhile check out vinland saga if you haven't watched it yet.

I will echo what you have seen elsewhere in that Frieren's dub is pretty good. I have only seen clips, but it is better than many that I have seen. It isn't a slice of life, but it is shaping up to be a classic. It is also usually pretty easygoing, so having it on while doing something like building Lego would be totally fine.
