Many otaku have their "comfort anime" that help them during these moments.
Sometimes, we all have moments when we feel terrible. Everyone overcomes them in different ways, and watching anime can be one of them — and here are 5 series that might help you with it.
Aria the Animation
Aria is the most famous example of the iyashikei ("healing") genre. It is the perfect anime for relaxation. With its serene atmosphere, Aria will definitely make you forget about your troubles — at least for a while.
Between the three seasons, two OVAs and two movies, Aria has enough content to help you relax for a while. This is not the kind of anime that needs to be binged — simply watch a couple episodes whenever you feel like it.
Laid-Back Camp
Want something simple and relaxing? How about Laid-Back Camp (Yuru Camp△) — an anime that focuses on a group of girls going camping?
This series emphasizes the calming nature of getting away from civilization and camping with your friends (or alone). Gorgeous landscapes also help, and with season 3 coming soon, you have no reason to not watch it.
Mushishi is calming and atmospheric, perfect for lighting up your mood — but that doesn't mean it can't get very serious. It is a commentary on human troubles, often getting into the territory of psychology, and a great watch altogether.
The protagonist, Ginko, is often considered one of the strongest aspects of the series, and the way you slowly learn his backstory makes you appreciate the anime even more. The music contributes to the atmosphere as well, making the anime exceptional.
If you want something faster and less focused on the slice of life moments, Bocchi the Rock! might be up your alley. Following a group of girls who decide to start a band, the series doesn't just deal with them getting into the music industry. One of the most important themes of Bocchi the Rock! is social anxiety and building relationships with other people.
Hinamatsuri combines offbeat comedy with a heartwarming theme of found family. At first, the premise of a yakuza member taking in an alien girl might seem crazy, but it works in more ways than just being a premise for a joke.
The characters of Hinamatsuri grow throughout the course of anime and learn to interact with each other. This might be a series you'd want to turn to if you want something funny but also wholesome.
