Anime is really fun for me to watch and I find it extremely helpful with learning Japanese. However, I can't for the life of me find more than three clean animes. Any suggestions for a series I could try?
Well... mm, even thinking "clean," there are questions – like "can it have a beach episode so long as there's no awkward camera angles?," or "Does it have to be pure slice of life fluff with little to no drama, or can there be some slightly tense/emotional drama? And if so how intense/emotional can the drama be?"
This is important because a couple really good series I know could count under "no fanservice and little-to-no violence" but are quite emotionally heavy...
For a general thing, I think there's a popular kids' manga that is often recommended to Japanese learners, but I'm not confident I'm remembering the title correctly... though I would not be surprised if that's one of the few you've already found...~
Ah, I didn't think about specifying, my bad! Emotional drama is generally perfectly fine with me, it can get fairly intense and I won't have an issue. A little bit of violence is acceptable if it's not constant and not gory. And yes, a beach episode with no awkward angles would be alright, but fanservice is definitely where I'm the most strict

Okay, good to know!
So, for fluff, Play It Cool, Guys (クールドジ男子) is an adorable comedy~
For more dramatic shows... ARGONAVIS and IDOLiSH7 are both really great – the latter is a lot heavier, but the former may be tricky to watch.
I think Technoroid might also work, but I'm not 100%.
Also... I for some reason want to recommend Cardfight but I know the episode count can be intimidating... running it through in my head, however, the 2018 and 2021 series may not be the best picks (with the latter it's just some stuff in the all-round really bad s1, with the former it's pretty infrequent but still... ehhhh)
I don't think there'd be anything offputting in the original series though, so...
Demon Slayer is not a good pick here. And as mentioned... Genshin ain't an anime. That anime project announced doesn't have even a year, let alone a date, yet.
I'd like an anime movie recommendation if anyone has any in mind similar with Junkers Come Here with existencialism/loneliness stuff and not just romance dramas, i found it by accident and decided to give it a try and was the best anime movie i've watched so far
Neon Genesis Evangelion and Jojo. They're fun tho one is depressing (neon genesis). Other good ones would be heavenly delusions and Hell's paradise. Full metal alchemist is also so good, if you want sth that's completed as Anime go for it, it's super good.
I have no idea what specific genre you'd prefer, but I'd recommend Hunter x Hunter. It is indeed a glorious show.
If you want a clean romance anime, I'd immediately recommend Itazura na Kiss. It's one of the rare anime shows that focus on life during dating and after marriage with pregnancy.
I’ve been enjoying The Way of the Househusband (Gokushufudou) on Netflix. It’s really funny and great for learners because it’s mostly very short segments based around everyday chores like doing laundry or going shopping. There’s also a live action version that’s literally just one guy narrating as he does stuff around the house.
I also just started Pokémon Concierge. All I know about Pokémon comes from Pokémon Go, but it doesn’t matter, it’s just a really chill and cute show that anybody could watch, but seems more aimed at adults than kids. Also pretty easy to follow as a learner.
