You know, I'd be less worried about my 16 year old daughter dating a successful 40 year old cartoonist than dating a 16 year old loser.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.
I'm generally not a big anime fan. I'm familiar enough with the genre, as I read some manga, but rarely does the animated version translate well, or interest me. But I did like the artist from Black and White, so I gave it a shot.

I watched the entirety of Ping Pong The Animation, and absolutely loved it. Slice of life story about childhood friends growing up in the world of competitive ping pong... And it was the best series I've ever seen. Suffered from none of the cheap animation issues that plague a lot of the genre.

Could anyone recommend me an anime movie, series, or manga that's similar in tone? You know, well written reality-based stories?

This.

If you're looking for reality based shows that are really good, try Kids on the Slope, Hyouka, Usagi Drop, or Chihayafuru.

Thanks the only reality based anime I can remember watching and liking is Ping Pong, Golden Boy and Grave of the Fireflies.

I'll check these out.
