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.

If romance is not a trigger, Kaguya-Sama (“love is war”) is quite a funny and wholesome romcom.
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!
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.
Asobi Asobase is hilarious
Serial Experiments: Lain
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!
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.
Danganronpa if you want to get cheered up(and have that kind of humor), but if opposite, definitely Serial Experiments Lain.
If you’re looking for something to cheer you up “Sora yori mo Tooi Basho” is nice. Otherwise anything Ghibli.
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.
