feel-good anime/manga recommendations (favorite feel-good anime/manga)
So I find myself fighting a lot of daily stresses lately and am really looking for some nice recommendations for soothing, feel good type anime that I can decompress with. Had a friend recommend a couple like:
Had watched Azumanga a while back and remember it being great and have started a rewatch. It's just what the doctor ordered.
However, I was wondering if there were any shows out there that I might miss out on looking at the normal lists of these that may not be about high school slice of life. I'm not opposed to slice of life stuff, but was hoping to get a little variety. Maybe a laid back fantasy show with low stress or something like that.
I appreciate any insight the board could offer!
Iyashikei is a great tag to find what you're looking for. I mostly only know Slice of Life ones, but here's some that I would recommend.

Girls Last Tour
Natsumes Book of Friends
Barakamon
Hidamari Sketch
Tamayura
Thanks, I wasn't aware that an actual tag existed for this type of thing, I was mostly looking at the slice of life tag as there seemed to be a lot of overlap.
That helps a lot. I'll do a little research and check out the recommendations you posted.
Appreciate it!
If you're looking to have a good laugh, here are some recommandations.
Arakawa Under the Bridge
If you're into absurd comedy. Very fun.Barakamon
Very cute comedy, slice of life but in a good way.I know you'd rather not have Slice of Life but for some reasons most of the feels good animes/movies I've seen and enjoyed are in fact Slice of Life. So I'll just put them out there if you can't find anything else.
I just mentioned Katanagatari as a joke on some other post. This is easy going action packed fantasy. Characters are nice, story is good. Another that pops in my mind is Paradise Kiss it is not slice of life as usual. Loved the characters. And last year this was nice ACCA 13 Territory Inspection Dept
Here's a few:
Humanity Has Declined
The summary makes it sound a lot more high stakes than it actually is. It's an episodic series with some surreal comedy and really charming characters.LaidBack Camp
Easily the most relaxing anime to be released this year. I could stare at that scenery all day.Restaurant to Another World
This show wasn't my favourite, but it's definitely relaxing. Each episode has a couple of different characters from a fantasy world come in and eat some really tasty looking Japanese food.The Master of Killing Time
A series of shorts (~8 minutes each) about a girl who can't help but get distracted by the guy who sits next to her in class who won't stop playing weird games on his desk.Also seconding your friend's recommendation of Non Non Biyori! Such a good, relaxing show.

Hi everyone!
As written in the thread title, I want to watch more Feel-Good anime right now. By "feel-good anime", I mean anime that bring those positive vibes, brighten up your day and... just make you feel better once you watch them.Haikyuu!!, Barakamon, Tamako Market and Lovely Complex are good exemples to me.
Any suggestions? :)
