Engaged to the Unidentified, it's not bad but the big sister character is awful.

I just marathoned this series over 2 days. So good, but I'm sad there's not more. Anyone have similar anime recommendations?

Well, I'm not sure what part of this show you enjoyed, so it's not easy to give recommendations, but I'd throw Non Non Biyori onto the pile. It's a quiet slice of life comedy set in the sticks. There are no fantastic elements like in Kobayashi, but one of the characters is... kinda Kanna-esque.

If you're after more family sweetness, Usagi Drop is a good show to check out, maybe Lightning & Sweetness or Barakamon too

Flying Witch has siblings instead of smooches and cute dumb witches instead of cute dumb dragons but it'll get your needs met.

I'd also recommend Devil is a Part-Timer. It's a funny show about idiots from a fantasy world trying to make it in our world. It's another show where you really get to like the characters by the end.

I got through half of it before giving up and she had zero character growth in that time and was as awful a goblin as when she started.

Except the jokes had all gone incredibly stale from being used over and over again.

I found the manga more enjoyable but I think it's because I could go through the story quicker and get to the character development faster. As far as I've read Umaru's actually turning into a decent person around most people.

The Chinese and Koreans may never admit it, but Japan has finally conquered the rest of Asia just like they wanted in WWII. Although culturally.

I was going to say, I was sure I saw that show a long time ago, it's well past the point where its success or lack thereof would be determining if it got another season or not.
