Can someone recommend something similar to ARIA? As similar as possible? (Except YKK.)

I'm looking for anime that talks about life and contains something that we can learn. ARIA is exactly that, where nothing really happens, so I like it a lot. Any other?
(Genre: Slice-of-life)

How about: Sketchbook ~full Color'S~, Binbou Shimai Monogatari, Hyakko, Mushishi, Natsume Yuujinchou (+ Season 2)

(Genre: Drama - similar to Black Jack)

Try out these ones: Monster, Clannad (including After Story), Kanon (2002+2006),

(Genres: Moe, Ecchi)

Maybe: Minami-ke, Mahoromatic


Have fun!
