| I'm not asking this because I'm depressed or anything but I'm more likely to fall for depression in the future, so I'm asking beforehand. I request you not to include R+ animes and it should not have more than 24 episodes. It would be nice if you can give a short reasoning. |
| If you try to find out who or what I am all that's waiting for you is despair |
| I don't recommend slice of life, the last thing i want when i'm depressed or ever from anime is a reflection of real life. I look for worlds that i can escape to, specifically ones with great world building and adventure are the best, those i can fully embrace. I recommend Magi, you don't need to watch the sequel and prequels after/before it but if you really enjoy it they're there if you want them. |
 I don't believe in the Devil. You should. He believes in you. |
| Saiki Kusuo no psi nan always cheers me up. It's an very episodic comedy slice of life show with a supernatural aspect. What I like about it so much is the characters, despite being total cliches they are extremely lovable and I could watch Teruhashi smile for decades without getting bored. |
| I recommend Yuru Camp because it make you feel extremely relaxed. It has 12 episodes. |
   |
| Hunter x Hunter (2011) Make you feel more depressed than before |
| “You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.” |
| Also some shorts: Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken and Ani ni Tsukeru Kusuri wa Nai! |
|
| i think konosuba was a great laugh material because this anime was so funny that make me laugh so hard megumin best girl tho |
 |
| S1 of Amanchu really lifted my spirits when I was all down or Usagi Drop because it'll make you realize how lonely you really are. KitsuneSensei said: I recommend Yuru Camp because it make you feel extremely relaxed. It has 12 episodes. This is so cozy that I bump this. |
 |
| If you want something long, funny, and not too serious, Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2 from what I hear are both great romantic comedies. They have over 100 episodes each, so if you want something light and long, they might do the trick. Note I have not watched either, somebody who has seen them can confirm whether they might be good when you're depressed |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |

You're literally the only who recommend this anime. I'm glad you like it. Magi fan as well :D |
I don't believe in the Devil. You should. He believes in you. |
| Nothing heals quite like lolis. I'd recommend something like non non biyori, definitely soothing. |
| Haibane Renmei, Mushishi and Non Non Biyori. Those helped me a lot some years ago when I had a depressive period. |

| I don't know about depression but the last episode of Berserk gives me nightmares. If you haven't watched it just watch it |
Huntik said: My friend told me a lot about Sinbad's story in the manga and it just makes me need a sequel.Lunilah said: I really wish there were more sequels, gah. I don't know if you've read the manga but according to it(no spoiler by the way) obviously if they adapt as they did in previous seasons, should be the best season.. If they make a 3rd season any time soon, i hope they adapt the full manga.. 169 chapters so far that hasn't an anime yet. In 35 episodes they could do it easily. I can't die without watching the anime first. I just can't. |
I don't believe in the Devil. You should. He believes in you. |
| I think it's best to re-watch some anime you enjoyed. |

| Hentai or isekai I cannot see the difference, for I have been depressed, than depression itself. |
| Barakamon is great. I watch it when I get really depressed because it's wholesome 10/10 |
 |
Lunilah said: It is. Their true form is Awesome. Also If you don't wanna get spoiled from the manga, skip this comment. |
This is the Fanalis true form
avd101 said: Why wait for depression to strike and catch you unprepared when you can trigger it right now? Watch Neon Genesis Evangelion. Where will you be when depression strikes? lol Well whatever you do, don't watch Welcome to the NHK, a lot of people who were already depressed had suicidal thoughts while watching that one. |
kurumiass said: I agree so much.Konosuba was so much fun to watch. I think it is a perfect remedy to depression . Though,aqua best girl (u cant change my mind):3i think konosuba was a great laugh material because this anime was so funny that make me laugh so hard megumin best girl tho |

| SoL, something like Barakamon or Silver Spoon in paricular always cheers me up or something from my favourites( Yakitate Japan and Ace of Diamond) |
| well. I've been basically depressed most of my life and Anime is primary thing that kept me going to so extent. So essentially any Anime is good for me as I like Anime in general. But eh.. If I'm more depressed than usual I usually enjoy watching mind twisting Anime or sad series :/ ... somehow fulfilling. Aside that watch something straightforward. Comedy or action or such. |
 |
| Idk why but watching Naruto really helps me out when I'm in a deep depressed state. Might just be cause it my favorite anime. |
 |
| hey, if you suffer from diagnosed depression then it would be better if you seek professional help rather than rely on anime. i would recommend sangatsu no lion to you. beautiful anime. |
 Ｓｗｅｅｔ♥I guess, as long as I have life, all I can do is fight with all my might. |
| The whole medium. Idk about you, but any kind of escapism helps distracting me from my depression. Just watch something you find interesting that takes your mind someplace else. Whatever works for you personally and your preferences will do the job. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Long battle shounens seem great for depression, at least in my case they do. |
| Go watch comedies! They always seem help perk up a brooding-timid person like me. Even if I only try to watch a random episode not try the rewatch the whole thing. (LOL) So check out: Sakamoto desu ga? (Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto), Nichijou (My Ordinary Life), Daily Lives of High School Boys, Galaxy Angel, Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei, Hataraku Maou-sama! (The Devil Is a Part-Timer!), Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, Arakawa Under the Bridge, Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! (KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!), Saiki Kusuo no Psi nan (The Disastrous Live of Saiki K.), Hinamatsuri, Hoozuki no Reitetsu (Hoozuki's Coolheadedness), Barakamon, Osomatsu-san, Space Dandy, D-frag, and Detroit Metal City. I hope you'll find something that interest and help you. 'While there's life, there's hope'. |

| No. Escapism won't cure your depressionThere is nothing anti depressive about watching two psychopaths beating up a guy until he bleeds for the sake of comic relief despite the fact that the anime simultaneously preaches an anti parental abuse. OP is more likely to get PTSD Lunilah said: >Implying moeshit is a reflection of real lifeI don't recommend slice of life, the last thing i want when i'm depressed or ever from anime is a reflection of real life. |

| Watch some comedy series I guess, laughter is the best medicine. I'm not exactly the best person to ask since I'm a positive person and don't really get depression. I've bounced back pretty quickly from sad things like deaths in the family. Uh....well, mathematically 2 negatives equal a positive.... |

Huntik said: Tanmay_Hedaoo said: I totally agree with you. In addition you would like these : Golden time. Grand Blue Konosuba Tsuki ga Kirei Charlotte Please give them a try . I watched : Golden time, Charlotte I dropped : Konosuba I never seen , nor i'm planning too : Tsuki ga Kirei ,Grand Blue Thanks for recommendations anyway. Tsuki ga kirei it's really nice, you should check it. I hated Grand blue tho. |

Huntik said: DaCraziGuy said: Tsuki ga kirei it's really nice, you should check it. I hated Grand blue tho. Idk man. The animation looks bad and it's a generic school anime. I've seen enough of them even i didn't added in the list.. Well, I've seen a lot of shows, I can assure you that this isn't your generic high school show. It has a different vibe to most of them and the pace is different. The art is subjective so I can't argue with that. But I think you should give it a try, it was a pleasant surprise for me, I didn't expected anything about it too and I enjoyed it. But of course it's your choice, I won't say anything more. |
