    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.

    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.

    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

    If you’re looking for something to cheer you up “Sora yori mo Tooi Basho” is nice. Otherwise anything Ghibli.

    Danganronpa if you want to get cheered up(and have that kind of humor), but if opposite, definitely Serial Experiments Lain.
