Anime with an average person?

[Hatashi]

I'm just looking for an anime that has a guy/girl that just goes through his/her life, nothing special, no fantasy, like a student or something, think of Death Note without the Death Note and just Light going to school, and such...

I know, I know odd request, but does anyone know anything?

You are looking for slice of life then ... and i got these:

Clannad , Minami-ke[about 3 sisters just living the life] , Hyakko , NANA , Nodame Cantabile , Honey and Clover , kare kano , itazura na kiss , Aishiteriu ze baby , Sketchbook: Full Color's , tamayura , Ai Yori Aoshi , Lamune ,

[Hatashi]

Thanks so much, appreciate it.
Which shall I watch first?

And why haven't they made you a moderator of the Anime Section yet xP?

Which shall I watch first?

Clannad or Nodame Cantabile is really good so that should be #1 :P
Minami-ke, Honey and Clover #2
Aishiteruze baby the anime imo wasn't good, it didn't do the manga justice. I say just read the manga before watching the anime just cause the manga is 100x better and the anime is kind of a treat for seeing parts of it animated.

Can't say for the rest since I haven't watched them

Doujin Work is pretty good too imo. Not really fantasy... but more like a.. hmm.
Then there's also Working!

You need to be more picky then.

Although a lot of the anime you like I like too.

Except I don't like K-On.

I like more of the intellectually mature and thought provoking mystery thriller types when it comes to anime so I don't think I can be of much help with his question.
But I like to mix things up every now and then.
