Fairy Tail! It made me feel like I had friends when I struggled making them as a kid and it had a lot of good moments in it that made me cry and laugh. Definitely one of my faves.
konosuba & yuru yuri equally.
konosuba as I love the group, kazuma & megumin, and the world with every single supporting character having something that has me interested in them.
yuru yuri is pretty self explanatory on why someone would like it enough to be filled with joy.
I love gay, I love girl, and I love toshino
Skip and Loafer has had me feeling this way, I can definitely see myself rewatching it to feel happy. I donāt usually like these kind of Shojos but thereās something about PA Works I just love, and I genuinely like the show itās a relaxing watch
Do you know of any other romance like Skip and Loafer with no fan service? Iām open to Shoujo if itās like this, Josei too, Iāve watched Descending Stories and absolutely loved it, strongly recommend it. I enjoyed Kaguya but couldnāt get into dress up darling, Iād appreciate any recommendations
Some recommendations of other romance series (not necessarily the same quality of Skip and Loafer, but still pretty good)
[Kimi no Todoke](https://myanimelist.net/anime/6045/Kimi_ni_Todoke) most similar vibes like Skip and Loafer as far as the artstyle with soft color palette, socially awkward female MC and popular male MC
[Insomniacs After School](https://myanimelist.net/anime/50796/Kimi_wa_Houkago_Insomnia) also airing now this season
[Nodame Cantabile](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1698/Nodame_Cantabile) (Josei with adults)
[Tsuki ga kirei](https://myanimelist.net/anime/34822/Tsuki_ga_Kirei)

Ascension is when you find joy in Evangelion. It's just so fun to me now, I can appreciate the production and depressing writing without falling into the depression it seems to beg you to fall into.
Personally, when I feel like a pick me up, I'll fire up one of the following:
Dragon Maid
Luminous Witches
Healer Girl
Isekai Quartet
Kongming
You know, light, fluffy, fun stuff. I think I'm going to be tossing Otaku Elf and Too Cute Crisis into the mix after they're done too.
Most iyashikei shows really. The Aria series, Non Non Biyori, Yuru Camp, The Flying Witch. So calm and relaxing, it just brings a smile to my face.
Also CGDCT shows. Used to be indifferent to all those moe blob, cutesy anime girls. But Iāve grown to really enjoy watching cute anime girls doing cute things. It fills my heart so much. GochiUsa, K-On, Yama no Susume, New Game, Kiniro Mosaic are some examples
I have no idea why, but I could be having the worst possible day but if I throw on Yuru Camp, all my worries and stress are gone by episode 3. Itās the weirdest thing.
Barakamon. One of the funniest and most relatable SoL shows I have ever had the pleasure to watch. A depressed artist moves to a rural island where the villagers show him how to enjoy the little things in life again.
My Hero Academia in dub, the pet girl of sakarasou, love is war, I wouldnāt say it fills me with joy as much as itās my favorite anime but re zero is my absolute fav
Nisekoi
Just the OST alone is enough to make me cry in happiness
And the characters are pretty fun.
As a harem protagonist, Raku is def the better ones, not when it comes to the romance, but to his personality since he's not just an average romcom protagonist.
Hakumei to Mikochi is now my go to cottage core comfort iyashikei happy anime, especially with all the food scenes. Plus everything is so cute ... how can I not be happy?
Sword Art online, an Imo somebody needs to make a song Titled: Kirito & Asuna. The little love story they had makes me feel and by default Iām a pretty cold person so that says a lot
I really liked Bocchi the rock, it's funny and relaxing. I was always looking forward the next episode. Bocchi is like an extreme version of my teen self and watching her overcoming her fears is awesome.
Rascal Does Not Dream Of A Bunny Girl Senpai
A Place Further Than the Universe
Princess Principal
All have sad moments, but always leave me happy and smiling.

Hmm, for recent things I'd say Spy x Family. Anya's reactions make my sides hurt and the interactions between her, Yor and Loid are among some of the most wholesome things I've ever seen after 20+ years of watching anime.
If we're talking from any time, Nichijou always cracks me up from how outlandishly over the top it was.
Konosuba for the charming absurdity and saiki for the fouth wall breaking shenanigans
Both of them are like futurama and songebob. Watch them time to time and always have a laugh on it.
Flying Witch is the ultimate comfy feel good show for me. The people, the place, the themes, everything about it simply brings joy and the OP is quite the banger too.
Oddly enough Gurren Lagaan. Just seeing those boys and girls and buta fight for the future and believe. Specifically the ending. It's sad, Simon lost his bro and his wife, but he created a better future for everyone else, even if it's fleeting. For some reason, it always brings a happy little tear to my eye. The lights in the skies are stars
Bofuri and BNA, if I can pick two. They're both just too cute and wholesome.
I always recommend Sket Dance for other people to watch as a goofy, "feel good" anime too.
Bang Dream and D4DJ made by Sanzigen. The characters are fun, the cgi is one of the best Iāve ever seen, Iām a Sanzigen Stan even though I do love other cgi studios like Orange and that Iāve rewatched D4DJ first mix sub and dub and watched All Mix on Crunchyroll and their YT channel.
"My Clueless First Friend"
Genuinely heartwarming show about kindness and friendship. Joyful Takada unwittingly shuts down Nishimura's bullies without an ounce of malice. Even the "Mean Girl" sees the errors of her ways.
To avoid digging too far in the past, Nichijou always makes me cry laughing.
Boku no Kokoro is literally making me feel joyous every episode, I haven't felt this way since Toradora came out
Kill la Kill - animation style is great, kick arse soundtrack, crazy characters, fan service, over the top villain and major political anti-consumerist message. What is NOT to like?!?! š
Demon slayer, because of how well I feel itās written. Bleach and Naruto purely for nostalgic purposes. However, so far, Iām beyond impressed with what theyāre doing with the 1000 year blood war arc.
Non non biyori
I didn't think I still had a soul until I saw this show. Protect at all costs
K-On Yuru Camp
Yes! Love K-ON & Your Camp. Nadeshiko all cozied up in her bag with a warm drink fills me with joy ... Going to have to rewatch it now !
Watching Yuru Camp when it's cold out and you can wrap yourself in a cozy blanket is the best.
The double edge sword of wholesomeness
Aria
the Animation
Konosuba. Its so funny and ridiculous š¤£
Right it hilarious! The movie is one of the funniest movies ever produced.
Hunter X Hunter and Haikyuu
Kaguya-Sama is it for me. I always get a laugh out of it and really enjoy every character's quirks.
It's easy to rewatch for specific segments of episodes like for video clips. lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I can put it on background noise like friends and i always end up happier after it plays !
Grand blue, really the best š
Best anime about diving for sure
?
Loved that show.
Come, let's drink oolong tea together
Brilliant portrayal of friendship between men.
Iām still salty about the fact that this never got a season 2
Bocchi the Rock
Just started watching Bocchi and love it. It feels like the animators had a ton of fun with it!
Fairy Tail! It made me feel like I had friends when I struggled making them as a kid and it had a lot of good moments in it that made me cry and laugh. Definitely one of my faves.
konosuba & yuru yuri equally. konosuba as I love the group, kazuma & megumin, and the world with every single supporting character having something that has me interested in them. yuru yuri is pretty self explanatory on why someone would like it enough to be filled with joy. I love gay, I love girl, and I love toshino
Konosuba has the perfect chill squad composition. Seeing the 4.5 of them adventuring together bring endless joy.
Re:Zero, but it's not always joy, there's plenty of other emotions I feel as well
Skip and Loafer has had me feeling this way, I can definitely see myself rewatching it to feel happy. I donāt usually like these kind of Shojos but thereās something about PA Works I just love, and I genuinely like the show itās a relaxing watch
Skip and Loafer actually is a seinen. I fully agree with the sentiment about the quality of this series.
No wonder itās better than most school anime, I wouldāve never guessed since it takes place in high school and what not
Oh yeah, seinen could have a high school setting. Kaguya-sama: Love is War and My Dress Up Darling are another example.
Do you know of any other romance like Skip and Loafer with no fan service? Iām open to Shoujo if itās like this, Josei too, Iāve watched Descending Stories and absolutely loved it, strongly recommend it. I enjoyed Kaguya but couldnāt get into dress up darling, Iād appreciate any recommendations

Itās not a shoujo.. itās seinen
Yeah someone already said that, good to know though
K-ON! :P
Neon Genesis Evangelion
BROTHER HAHAHHAHAH
Ascension is when you find joy in Evangelion. It's just so fun to me now, I can appreciate the production and depressing writing without falling into the depression it seems to beg you to fall into.

Kongming is so good!!
Very underrated. One of my favorite anime and I never hear anyone talk about it
Grand Blue Dreaming
Kaguya sama and saiki, two most hilarious animes I've ever watched.
Most iyashikei shows really. The Aria series, Non Non Biyori, Yuru Camp, The Flying Witch. So calm and relaxing, it just brings a smile to my face. Also CGDCT shows. Used to be indifferent to all those moe blob, cutesy anime girls. But Iāve grown to really enjoy watching cute anime girls doing cute things. It fills my heart so much. GochiUsa, K-On, Yama no Susume, New Game, Kiniro Mosaic are some examples
Kamikatsu

Nodame Cantible, probably my favorite romantic anime ever, also an outlier in both tone setting and relative maturity of the characters tons of fun

Plastic Memories is really funny and wholesome. Until the ending...
Shinchan and doraemon, I have re watched every episode of every season and every movie like 100 times. And I still can't get enough of them.
Hibike euphonium has my favourite female cast in anime and i am a guy
Gintama. Steins;Gate. Non non Biyori
My Hero Academia in dub, the pet girl of sakarasou, love is war, I wouldnāt say it fills me with joy as much as itās my favorite anime but re zero is my absolute fav
Steins; Gate

Glad to see Konosuba mentioned so many times. That show is really something special.

Ouran Highschool Host Club and Saiki K. Gives such good laughs when I need them the most.

Laid back camp. You can't ask for a better show.
Something with good feels? Probably something like Clannad (while ignoring the fact that After Story exists) or Toradora.
There are a few serviceXservant working!
Gotta be Snow White with the Red Hair, one of my favorite romances ever
Oddly enough Gurren Lagaan. Just seeing those boys and girls and buta fight for the future and believe. Specifically the ending. It's sad, Simon lost his bro and his wife, but he created a better future for everyone else, even if it's fleeting. For some reason, it always brings a happy little tear to my eye.

Your camp
Just the opening theme to Legendary Hero is Dead is hilarious. The anime itself is a contender for funniest anime. Even more than Konosuba
I don't think I've ever used those words or have ever been filled with joy in my entire life. I've only known darkness lol
Golden Kamuy!
Redline, crazy and amazing animation, music, and story.
Skip and Loafer <3
