    Perhaps strange but Higurashi When They Cry. It gives me the same deeply relaxing feeling I get from when I watch Twin Peaks or watch Silent Hill or play any of the Silent Hill games. Lain gives me that same feeling, and is also a go-to comfort anime to me.

    Its weird but these desolate mostly empty liminal, haunted places give me a very relaxing feeling almost like coming home. I experience the same feeling playing games like Hellmart and L.A. Noire. I don’t know why that is. I’d love to know, but I don’t know why myself.

    • Bofuri - comfy, zero stakes adventure, with satisfying underdog-to-overpowered power fantasy.
    • Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu - fast paced, silly, and sweet action rom-com.
    • Interspecies Reviewers - episodic sex comedy. Despite the brazen fanservice, it’s actually more respectful towards women and body types than most anime.
    • Kaguya-sama - mostly episodic rom-com, very fun and sweet without much drama.
    • Konosuba - king of comedy isekais, but secretly has heart beneath all the snark.
    • Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle - cozy, kid-friendly episodic fantasy comedy.

    Mushishi, it’s just so relaxing without being devoid of tension and humanity. I know it has a bit of a reputation as a “namedrop” anime that people profess to like to appear cultured, but honestly it’s simply very very good and pretty unique.

    The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan

    it’s generally a 6/10 spin-off rom-com, but with one solid 10/10 arc that makes it all worth it that ties it in with the main series and movie so well I’d consider it an essential must-watch for Haruhi fans.

    Also, this version of Yuki is just adorable.

      I don’t remember what happened exactly anymore when they weave in the main story but I remember it being quite touching. I also love the ending theme and its music video on YT. It definitely reveals things not revealed in the main series so definitely a must watch for fans indeed.

    Yuru Camp, I can put on in the background and trust that I can fall asleep to it in less than one episode.

    I love that Bocchi got some love itt but that’s my rock out anime, different strokes for different folks. 😀

    I dunno, I mostly try to consume new content. There’s a lot of stuff I’d like to go back and watch in Japanese, from when I had to watch in English because my eyesight was bad, subtitles didn’t work for me. So that is to say, if I were to revisit anime, it would be for the purpose of hearing it in the country’s native language and experiencing a whole new cast. I quite like Japanese, but I don’t know enough of it to not need subtitles.

    I’ve recently-ish rewatched Boku Dake ga Inai Machi (Erased but I hate the English name of it) and Angel Beats!… oh, and Your Lie in April. I love a good sad story, to a point.
