Is xxxHOLiC worth watching? The premise seems kind of similar to Natsume's Book of Friends but the character design and the name give off a bad horny vibe.

I remember liking it a lot. It has a nice mellow supernatural feeling to it.

It also wasn’t really horny at all, iirc. The name is somewhat infamously misleading.

It's one of the least horny series I can think of unless you really like noodle people I guess.

Glad to hear it, sounds like it's exactly what I am looking for to follow up Natsume.

It was mainly the big boobs cleavage lady they put front and center that had me concerned tbh:

One of my favorites of all time. The wonders and occasional horrors of magic are well delivered. Nothing overly creepy/weird in it, the name is tragically misleading.

Also the op 19Sai is fire.

xxxHolic is a solid monster of the week show although with some very occasional ongoing plots.

The xxx just means a placeholder, so it stands for things like alcoholic or workaholic. It is like Natsume but the content leans more heavily on the spooky episodic stories rather than the heartwarming (though there is some of that there too).

The basic premise is it's a shop that grants Wishes.

And you should be very careful what you wish for, as you just might get it...

CLAMP are a bunch of women and their manga are primarily aimed at women, outside of like, chobits. the big booby cleavage lady is aspirational.

Looking for some new content to watch.

Seem most the mainstream things,

Naruto, Bleach (till they gave up on it), DBZ (most but not all), Berserk, Random Netflix ones.

Recently: Slime, arcane, Sword art online (down hill after the first season IMO).

Not everything I have seem but the ones that come to mind and were enjoyable.

Used to have some friends that were always on top of good new stuff but they are doing their own thing now.

If you want something fast and recent, there's Odd Taxi. It's about a walrus looking guy. He drives a taxi. The yakuza, the idol industry, a gacha game addict, crooked police, and a couple of standup comics get involved.

It's real good.

For SAO, if you haven't seen Alternative: Gun Gale Online, it might be fun. Different cast, lighter plot, lots of crazy people.

Really, there's a world of options. Any genre you're interested in to narrow things down? (Like, for giant robots, I recommend Gundam IBO or the UC if you want something longer, and Gridman and Dynazenon if you want something shorter.)

Anything you're looking for specifically? In terms of shonen stuff, Hunter x Hunter is on netflix and good, Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer are the big popular stuff, Demon Slayer has really high production values. if you liked Slime and the first season of SAO, you could check out other 'guy gets transported to another world/into a game' stuff. Re:Zero is popular and pretty good.

Could use more direction on what you're looking for, but if you're in the mood for shounen action stuff and haven't seen it yet, Mob Psycho 100 is top-tier poo poo.

Re:Zero

Ping Pong
Haikyuu
Tatami Galaxy

Suppose I like good char development, action and some anime titties don't hurt either lol.

Think some of the suggestions above will take me out of the rut I have found myself.

Funny story, I started watching Konosuba because of a video Aqua's english VA did where she described when the show came out and she hosted a watching party with all of her friends. She forgot there was an episode where she's ugly-crying with her full rear end out and it was really uncomfortable for everyone.
