• Seitokai Yakuindomo
• Tanaka-kun is Always Listless
• Saiki Kusuo

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

...do I even have to say it?

I've watched all 38 episodes of Frieren like 10+ times this year lol

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.

hyouka :)

Dog Days

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.

inuyasha the first series+final act, not yashime. evangelion.

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. 😀

As a non-weeb, Naruto or Dragon Ball

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.

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.

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 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.

Eureka 7 always has a special place for me

Acchi Kocchi

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 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.

Just based on pure nostalgia it has to be Dragon Ball

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 almost only watch comfort anime... So all my favorite CGDCT and Iyashikei anime.
