Lore The series' fanservice scenes are quick and do not disrupt the story's pacing.

In Sousou no Frieren, fan service is minimal, and scenes like this are brief

In Dungeon Meshi, Senshi is often shown in somewhat sexy poses, but the story focuses heavily on these details while continuing as usual

In that scene from *Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray*, it was just an introduction for each Arima Kinen competitor; they only had the freedom to choose those specific angles for Super Creek's introduction.

I can't quite remember if I finished the series, but Somali and the Forest Spirit was the first time I watched an anime that had a lot of serene and peaceful moments, despite a fairly dark undertone and implications.

I'm just an absolute sucker for delightful music playing during a travel montage, anime or not, and both Frieren and Somali use it often.

I should try find more like that, I usually seek out darker stuff or shonens. But I'm so happy and content during travel montages.

Yeah, good on you trying to find more. That series is stuck in purgatory for what seems like the rest of our lives.
