The 300 best-scored of the 1350 slice of life 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.
Slice of life is the low-stakes list: most of it has no cliffhangers, so missing a night costs nothing. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and The Apothecary Diaries are gentle stories with a real plot underneath; Bocchi the Rock! is a comedy about stage fright; Mushishi Zoku Shou is the most restful thing here.
