I'm sorry ABF, but most of this anime looks like utter garbage. Is there ANYTHING creative being made there any more? Also, I just hate this trend in "comedy" wherein the male protagonist accidentally falls on a female lead's breasts. Is that even a joke, outside Benny Hill? What's the joke? They all seem to otherwise reuse the exact same tired old joke playbook. American cartoons are guilty of the same thing, but at least that's just intellectually offensive. This is offensive to basically anyone who's ever actually talked to another human being in their lives. Not to mention there's some huge values corruption going on. Every time some character says "take responsibility", they're using it WRONG! It's usually something like "innocent child of someone I hate, learn to take responsibility for actions you have no control over, for which I hate you", and the protagonist NEVER CALLS THEM OUT ON IT, and even APOLOGIZES. Is this a thing in Japanese culture? I can't imagine it is, because Studio Ghibli movies never seem to do this.
Your descriptions basically say all I need to know, and that's "I'll stick with studio Ghibli".

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
