Anime to Watch When Life Has Got You Down | Glass Reflection

[@suavierxito]

Man I remember GTO got me through a MEAN breakup lol. Something about watching Onizuka bring people up just lifted my spirits.

[@grapeshott]

I have even watched the movies. You may watch a bit similar Japanese show- "Dragon Zakura"

[@suavierxito]

Esesem ssm Never seen it. But I will check it out

[@War624]

One show that really lifted my spirits was Ah! My Goddess. GTO is great though. I miss those old comedy anime from the late 90s to early 2000s that also taught you a lesson. Golden Boy did the same for me. And Irresponsible Captain Tylor.

[@rheymarvinsalestre4075]

We all have a special place for GTO in our hearts. Because Onizuka is the life teacher we never knew we needed.

“Tanaka-kun is always listless” is like the comedic version of what you’re recommending, as it’s about the lazy life of Tanaka and how he tries to get lazier (and somewhat fails). It’s super simple and I love it, I would recommend to anyone looking for a calming, yet still pretty funny, anime (like Barakamon but less artist-breakdowns).

[@soriso717]

Mestayoku Technically it is, but in actuality it is just “Haven’t you heard? I’m Sakamoto” with flaws.

[@soriso717]

Mestayoku Handa-kun is but a sheep in lion’s clothing, accidentally putting up the facade of Sakamoto, but as you mentioned, anyone truly near Sakamoto’s level would have no discernible flaws.

[@justaguy00000]

GTO is one of the best anime I have EVER watched. It's just so unique & you are always thinking the storyline is not going to the right direction, it's WROOOOOOONG. But.......

[@hasanshaik6686]

Laid-back Camp is a great recommendation. It's one of those shows where wholesomeness is evident in every episode. Plus the OST is amazing which really adds a great touch.

[@melonlord1414]

And the backgrounds are great! I read a few chapters of the manga and most panels have no background at all. It really takes you out of it, when you know the anime.

When I went through a rough time in my life, "Welcome to the NHK" helped me. Seeing people fail harder than me and still somehow overcoming their problems gave me hope and motivation to fight. Its a dangerous recommendation because the overall tone of the show is rather dark and depressing and its humour is rather special, but I think its worth mentioning for those 37 people who it'll help.

[@animechic420]

I used to watch a lot of slice of life and slow-paced anime when I was feeling down. They really helped. ☺️

[@andrewfantome4020]

Well, initially 90% of the Sol anime and manga were designed for that. It is sad that, by now, all this has basically come down to huge doses of moe, waifu bait and otaku pandering

Non Non Biyori was the anime that made me love Slice of Life. I couldn't help but smile the entire time I watched it, and it boosted my mood almost immediately

[@rinamohn1807]

Two series that work for me are Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun and Fruits Basket. Gekkan Shoujo is very good at making me forget all the bad things. It allows me to live in a world without my problems where everything is just hilarious misunderstandings. Fruits Basket, on the other hand, doesn't make you forget your problems but it makes you face them in a healthy way. It gives the courage to try to become a better person. The courage to work with your problems. I recommend it to other anxious people, people with low self-esteem and people who have suffered from abuse.

[@sahilmakeshwar4187]

Watch march comes in like a lion It seems pretty similar to fruits basket (i haven't seen fruits basket)

[@jfarmerswatermelon6061]

I love Nozaki kun and Furuba try Natsume's book of friends if you want something relaxing and wholesome

[@thomas9685]

Mushi-Shi is an anime I consistently go to when I'm feeling down. It has a very stoic approach to each episode that helps remind me that much of life is simply out of my control.

[@harrellt1405]

Definitely keeps you grounded and appreciative of life. We get to see different peoples lives told in every episode, their upheavals, joys, and all sorts of emotions. One of my favorite is the white bamboo episode.

[@hououinkyouma5539]

All good stuff. I'd throw in Mushishi Some might find it boring, but its highly soothing and atmospheric.

[@lonewolf3314]

Hououin Kyouma i got to third episode and left it not because it was boring but because that anime is not meant to be watched in one sitting there is so much you want to absorb

[@walycisse4151]

I think the best type of anime to watch when your feeling down or depressed are the comedic ones cause at least you can get a laugh out of it.

[@Wampton]

Here’s the list, there are some streams for these shows in the description: - Aria The Animation - Great Teacher Onizuka - Space Brothers - Barakamon - Non Non Biyori - Laid Back Camp

[@Itsumi456]

Oddly enough I watched NHK when I was down and I got so emotional at it that it helped me somewhat. It didn't make me happy or sad just got to me on such a personal level that I can't really explain.

If I can reccomend another relaxing show, Mushi-shi is the one that does it for me. I always reach the closing credits not even realizing that we had reached even 15 mins. It just kind of hypnotizes you and takes you on a journey until it is over.

[@newarmour]

I recommend Flying Witch and Teasing Master Takagi-san.

For inspiring anime to pick you up when it seems like you might as well not bother with life I HIGHLY recommend March Comes in Like a Lion. Every episode was like the show was personally telling me to do the best I can. To be the best person I can be. I can't think of any other show that was as uplifting and inspiring. At least for me. (also this video has convinced me to finally pick up Space Brothers)

[@andrewfantome4020]

I would not call Sound of the Sky a slice of life. Yes, there are many everyday situations, but the central theme of the anime is still the advantage of a pacifist partnership over military fraternities. According to the original idea, SoL should relax and bring "healing" entertainment, and not make you think about high matters.

[@ZaronNitro]

I'm SO so glad Laid-Back Camp and Barakamon is on this video, they are the first shows that come to mind for this topic. I personally relate A LOT to these two shows (as someone who is currently working in the outdoor industry and as someone with a creative mind respectively)! Shows I would certainly add is: *A Place Further than the Universe* - never have I given a show 10/10 so early during its run, I was hooked on it from the get-go and had completely forgotten about the real world all the way until the very end ... which was immediately followed with a severe case of withdrawal. *My Roommate is a Cat* - it has similar themes to Barakamon and is a very wholesome show from start-to-finish, especially with the relationship between the character Subaru and the stray cat he befriends Haru. *Sweetness and Lightning* - for obvious reasons. *Usagi Drop (anime)* - say what you will about the manga's timeskip, the content that was covered in the anime was masterful.

5 and a bit years ago, I was unemployed, having finished college 2 years beforehand and was applying for jobs constantly with no luck. I was quite depressed at the time. A couple of months before I did get a job (my first job), I decided to watch Fruits Basket (it having been on my to-watch list for a while because I'm a transformation fan and the concept interested me). I binged the whole show over a month (I think 1 episode a day usually) and I really got emotionally invested with Toru and the other characters' situations. The comedy and mostly comforting atmosphere really appealed to me as well and the opening song's lyrics (I watched the dub) helped to calm me down and make each day more bearable for me whilst I was watching trying to find a job. I haven't seen the remake (I might do in a few years once it's finished) but I would recommend the original Fruits Basket to anyone who's going through a tough time.

Mentioning GTO, my favorite anime, and Barakamon, not far behind, in a single video... Best birthday gift I could've asked for.

[@CaedenV]

my two therapeutic go-to shows are: 1) Escaflowne, which is a show about a girl who is so depressed or disconnected from the world that she is swept up in her own story. The music and the scenery is good enough to take you to another world, and the blu ray release is astounding! 2) Welcome to NHK. Complete opposite end of the spectrum. NHK is about someone who just can't face the world, but keeps being confronted with it. I find the main character to be somewhat relate-able as his coping mechanisms are not often constructive or anything to take pride in, and yet he keeps finding ways to keep moving, or at the very least keep existing when everything seems hard and pointless. Certainly not for everyone, and at times a bit on the nose about being a show about getting through depression. But for me has been a faithful standby on those days where I just wish the world would go away. I havent even heard of any of the shows on this list... looks like I have a few things to find now.

[@aintgotnoway4952]

Space Brothers is one of my fav animes. That's the type of anime which never leaves you.

[@positronixartandlife4545]

I'd add My Roomate is a Cat - there are some harsh scenes from Haru's (the cat) POV, but watching Subaru progress from where he is at the beginning of the show to where he is at the end through what he does for Haru (and what Haru does for him) is heartwarming.

[@phaineinTV]

Laid Back Camp is a very special show for me (if you couldn't tell by my icon!). It started airing around the time a member of my immediate family was hospitalized for some pretty severe issues and I have very vivid memories of coming home from the hospital that first day, climbing into bed and just looping the first handful of episodes that were available at the time, over and over, because they never failed to soothe me. It's no exaggeration to say that the show was a huge part of what helped me cope and get through that part of my life and I'm forever grateful to it for that.

This video cannot be more perfectly released, been having a bad week and trying to find the perfect anime to unwind with depression is well... Depressing for lack of better word lol

I think yama no susume is a honourable mention. Its so relaxing and gives you this good feelings.

GTO...❤️ I wish more people remembered it. Though I’m not sure if it was widely known or not. It’s hard to tell back in the 90s. Onizuka was the best virgin ever! Also, the intros and altro songs were so catchy! And his voice acting was soo entertaining!

The video title seems like a generic clickbait. But your voice and speech creates an honest and personal tone, that's much appreciated.

Also, while a lot darker in some ways, Welcome to the NHK would make a great anime to lift your spirits. There's oodles of characters with it "Worse off", and its very well done.
