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.
- 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.
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.
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.
maybe due for a re-watch then.

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.
Ah yea, I do like michishirube!
i have seen flcl 20+ times. it's super easy to binge and the soundtrack is killer start to finish. and i still notice new things every time.
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. 😀
Eureka 7 always has a special place for me
Mechs on surfboards are just cool.
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.
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 almost only watch comfort anime... So all my favorite CGDCT and Iyashikei anime.
Just based on pure nostalgia it has to be Dragon Ball
inuyasha the first series+final act, not yashime.

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.
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.
hyouka :)
I've lost count how many times I rewatched them. And after the intro context, you could just watch random episode.
Kusonoki's garden of gods

- Cat Planet Cuties
- Seitokai Yakuindomo

It’s just such a stupid premise but so funny.
Gonna have to re-watch it someday (only thing keeping me away from it are my memories of the snodder girl)
Quite surprised to haven't seen it mentioned yet but...
Cowboy Bebop!
