I haven't seen much anime, but considering the genre's reputation for melodrama and exaggerated characters I'm curious if there are examples of anime which depict friendship on its own well without it hinting towards this. It's surprisingly hard to think of examples even outside of anime

I guess Dorohedoro had a pretty good "strong friendship" that wasn't really a covert romance plot (nikaido and kaiman), maybe?
