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.

Bocchi the Rock helps me feel less of a failure when I do something stupid / fail to do something important.

- Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu - fast paced, silly, and sweet action rom-com.

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.
CsXGF8uzUAOh6fqV@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago 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.

Classical Evan Call and Chihara Minori W. It’s more obvious that it’s them working together if you listen to the full version.

If you like Michishirube, you’ll like this. And vice versa.

maybe due for a re-watch then.
HarkMahlberg@kbin.earth 3 weeks ago 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 don’t know if I have anything I’d describe that way, but on the rare occasion I feel like turning my brain off and re-watching a show I know I like I’ll usually just pick some random thing that I rated 8-10 on my Anilist account.
I suppose a few likely candidates are:
- Kaguya-sama: Love is War
- Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
- Gundam Build Fighters (season 1 only)
- Log Horizon (if I’m feeling nostalgic)
Really depends on the mood I’m in though. In the past I might’ve put Legend of the Galactic Heroes on that list but it’s felt a little too real these past couple years for some reason.

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.

I was in just such an impressionable age at the time, really related to Renton. Did a rewatch a while back and it was all holland. Rewatching now I feel like im more relating to Charles. Its been neat having it as I’ve aged and the different perspectives.

Just based on pure nostalgia it has to be Dragon Ball

I’ve lost count how many times I rewatched them. And after the intro context, you could just watch random episode.

Dog Days
MiRRoRMaN@ani.social 3 weeks ago 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.

I was thinking about saying Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, cause I still rewatch it every year or two, but thinking about what I watch for COMFORT? Like, it’s my comfy thing to put on in the background, way too often? Dragonball Z: Abridged.
thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
The first 2/3 episodes of Black Lagoon. There’s something cathartic about the idea of leaving everything and becoming a pirate in the south China Sea.
Or Beck, yeah, love that one. Frieren too.
