The 300 best-scored of the 2101 drama anime with a page here, ranked by the median score the listing sites give them (every one scores 6.5 or better). Type, episodes and total hours on every row, so the two of you can see what fits tonight before you argue about it.
Drama rewards watching together, because the reactions are half the point, but it needs a pace you both keep. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Steins;Gate head the list as complete stories; A Silent Voice and Your Name are single films for a night you do not want to commit to anything; The Apothecary Diaries is a gentler court mystery told in 24-episode seasons.
