Getting back into Anime

I'd love some recommendations!

I used to love anime but kinda fell off when I became an adult as I haven't really had time for it. My life is finally starting to chill tf out and I'm trying to get back into my old hobbies.
I'd say I stopped keeping up with everything about 2017-18 but I have watched a few things in the last few years.

Dandandan
Friren
Jujutsu kaisen
Spyxfamily
Super crooks
The great pretender
Violet Evergarden
first season of demon slayer

I'm mostly wondering if I've missed anything that is a MUST SEE. My top 3 categories are romance, comedy and EMOTIONAL DEVASTATION. Really though, I'll watch just about anything. Thank you!!

First we have to verify that you have seen "Dungeon Meshi" (overlap with Frieren).

Then you can hit "Medalist" and "The Summer Hikaru Died" for your emotional indulgence needs.

"Apothecary Diaries" is a great mystery/thriller/puzzle story with good characters. Is that one recent?

I have not seen dungeon meshi but I believe I have seen the trailer on Netflix, along with the summer Hikaru died and apothecary diaries. I'll have to add them to my list. Definitely have not heard of medalist at all, I'll look it up. Thank you!

Legally, "Medalist" is being held in Disney jail.

* Maquia: When The Promised Flower Blooms made me cry and call my mother that I loved her.

* Umamusume: It might sound odd but it is freaking legit. You can start with Cinderella Gray. Though Pretty Derby season 2 is the one with the most emotional turmoil though.

* The Apothecary Diaries: It is slow born romance with drama, mysteries and a lot of comedy. It definitely has some pretty emotionally devastating moments as well.

My Hero Academia. The anime ended on Dec 13. Idk you know about is but it was good even the movies (I say the budget went to the 2nd and 3rd movie. I didn't even know a fourth movie existed so I'm watching that tomorrow.) Yea, deku might be annoying but once you get past s1 it gets good, sometimes good, sometimes bad but the last season is totally worth it. It also has some emotional scenes, emotional back stories and deaths. You'll find that as it continues if you watch it.
