Would you consider Kino's Journey also in this genre? "Character goes around from place to place encountering the people there and then moves on without much actually happening."
(I would say that Frieren does a much better job at this than both of those anime in terms of tying individual episodes into a larger narrative)
It's adjacent, but much more of it is essentially Le Petit Prince: main character encounters a sequence of individuals or societies who are a caricature of some idea taken to an extreme, and the reader gets a Teachable Moment (mediated through the eyes of the protagonist, who by way of detachment or naivety presents themselves as a neutral observer). Pure travelogue-styled slice of life, including Frieren, is less transparently preachy, as conveying the author's expansive opinions on society is not the intent.
