Natively: Level 20

Availability
Warning: Crunchyroll is listed as having this show everywhere, but that is season 3, Nonstop, only. It is not season 1.
Personal Opinion
It’s a cute and comic slice of life set in the Japanese countryside, which is actually a kind of unusual setting for anime. The everyday slice of life language should have a lot of stuff that’s approachable for beginners.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Uncommon setting in Japan for anime
- Slice of life has every day language
- You’ll understand all the Renge memes on the internet.
Cons
- Availability is a crapshoot, Europeans will need their VPNs or nautical options.
- Availability is confusing, if you just search non non biyori into your steaming service of choice, you’ll probably end up watching season 3.
