Iyashikei anime are my go-to anime for when I need something relaxed and uplifting!
Yuru Camp
Non Non Biyori
Mitsuboshi Colors
All of these are absolute bangers!
Gurren Lagann strangely helped me going out of a bad trip. You don’t need to believe in yourself, believe in me that I believe in you!

in a weird way, maybe evangelion. It’s depressing, but it’s comforting in a way too.
Haibane Renmei
It’s Nastume’s Book of Friends for me
If romance is not a trigger, Kaguya-Sama (“love is war”) is quite a funny and wholesome romcom.
Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise
Despite the name the short and skinny of it is that it’s a young man in a unique world finding something that inspires him; space.
Completely depends on your preferences.
I’d say something from Ghibli. But honestly, my comfort anime always has been Mushishi.
Second Mushishi.
serial experiment lain
Present day, present time. Hahahaha!
Asobi Asobase is hilarious
The iyashikei genre may be for you. Otherwise I guess it depends on what your preferences are in general, what your boundaries/triggers are, and how you like to deal with your feelings, cause I can personally vouch for everything from magical girl to idol to love comedy to psychological etc as things to watch specifically while feeling depressed.
I guess if I have to name a specific title, I’ll say that at my own lowest point, Sailor Moon was my own comfort watching.
Serial Experiments: Lain
Bloom Into You, Twelve Kingdoms. Watch FLCL and Flip Flappers when you’re coming out of it.
Edit: train to the end of the world is also a good choice.
maybe light comedy like osomatsu-san for example…japanese idea of humor is very strange, but that anime is funny
I love that show. You basically can’t predict the plot of any given episode and it’s so fun to watch high.
