While very different in length and setting (Law school vs work life in Tokyo for Golden Time and Rec respectively) both series do a very stellar job painting the ebbs and flows of relationships in a realistic and simple manner - something you don't encounter often in the anime medium.
The main characters in both shows are realistic humans who make mistakes and learn from them, and as such the relationships have a lifelike depth to them. Both series further their narratives by coupling somber moments of retrospection with lighthearted humor, which made Golden Time and Rec a treat to watch.
