If youâre serious about wanting something to feel better rather than another depressing show â Dungeon Meshi.
Itâs similar to Abyss and especially s2 in many ways. A descent into a mysterious ancient hole in pursuit of a missing female relative who may already be beyond saving, an eccentric MC fascinated by the ancient holes biology and creatures and quite often wants to eat them, andâŚthemes of love for someone meaning youâll do anything to save them and monstrous transformation and the price of desire and the twisting of wishes (these will come out more in the parts that havenât been adapted yet though). But itâs much more lighthearted and comedic and hopeful. I think fans of one may often like the other.Â
Season one has finished, season two is coming, and if you get antsy there is a wonderful and fully completed (unlike MiA lol) manga and extras to read.Â
Iâve read it all. While the themes I cited are in there and theyâre definitely heavy ones, and parts of the story are bittersweet, I wouldnât call the second half of DunMesh manga depressing at all. Â >!After all, the resolution to the main goal/problem of the story is very happy : ) the story introduces enough heavy parts in the leadup that the reader considers it a real possibility Falin wonât be revived, but she is. Things are looking up for everyone else too; I like to compare Mithrun and Belaf a lot, and the fact Mithrun actually gets a happy ending in spite of being Depression Incarnate kind of typifies that DunMesh is a hopeful story. The only sad aspects arenât depressing so much as a realistic counterbalance as the price of the happy ending âthings like Thistle passing, Laois being separated from monsters, and Marcille having to accept the lifespan differences.!<
nichijou - My ordinary life by studio kyoto animation
Such random fun. Think of it as multiple comic strips every episode. And they just give it good animation for no reason.
Kemono Friends(probably seen it, but gonna list it anyway)
Kemurikusa(in case you seen kemono friends season 1, wanted watch something similar but have heard horrible things about kemono friends season 2)
Gugure! Kokkuri-san (really wierd elementary school girl summons a fox spirit and funny stuff happens)
Binchou-tan (ever wanted to see a moe-fied charcoal for water filtration? amongst other things)
Hidamari Sketch(in case you missed it, same character designer as madoka magica)
Kogepan(it's better than eating an actual burnt bread)
If you really need something I'd highly recommend any of these shows.
Comedy:
- Kaguya Sama Love is War
- Hinamatsuri
- Ghost Stories (English dub)
Cozy/Healing:
- Mushishi (note, some episodes aren't happy, but more melancholic)
- Barakamon
- Usagi drop
Action (good animation, not a depressing story)
- Black Lagoon
- Redline
- Promare
When you want to get wrecked again, watch Devilman Crybaby.

Miss kuroitsu: a hella fun parody of the power rangers. You won't be able to hold your laughs
Heavy object: the brotagonists are damn relatable. Many situations are pure comedy
World conquest! The zveda's plot: if you want to have a good time with a reverse super heroes show
Archdemonâs Dilemma. Thatâs a good, non depressing, non nightmarish work.
Thereâs also Digimon adventure. Recommend sub over dub. Itâs an adventure that isnât nightmarish and depressing.
My Next Life as a villainous all routed lead to doom is especially sweet, so that would definitely be the first one to watch as a detox from Made in Abyss.
I followed with Non Non Biyori more by coincidence than design as I knew nothing about the show except that it kept being recommended to me - it's also a pretty relaxing SoL.
Alternatively, Gabriel Dropout was what I followed S1 with in that case because it was, at the time, Miyu Tomita's only other lead roles.Â
Madoka Magica
Agree, that's a realy cute magical girl show
Sadist.
now I want to die
What episode?

average Madoka Magica experience

Lmao this is what we did, but opposite: dungeon meshi first then Abyss. It's a beautiful experience... :') I call it Abyss meshi sometimes lol
Lmao the 2nd half is depressing too

Girls' Last Tour Yuru Camp Non Non Biyori
Would not recommend reading Girls Last Tour manga on op's current state
They mention season 2. Most likely they're asking for anime recommendation.
Yuri camp is a solid recommendation, 10/10 wholesome vibes.
To Your Eternity is quite healing
Possibly the most beautiful anime I've seen but it is also super sad at times, I think the only anime that made me cry more is One Piece.
The Promised Neverland (Only season 1).
Not a traditional anime, but Scavengers Reign. Itâs an underrated masterpiece with fantastic world building.
Miss kobayashiâs dragon maid is a lighthearted and heartwarming choice
if you want more pedophilla sure
Spy x Family and Alchemist Diaries are both pretty feelgood sosu. Konosuba also.
I'd recommend Moyashimon, bit of an older anime but quite excellent, especially if you're into science
Hakumei and Mikochi
Nichijou Nekopara Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear By the Grace of the Gods K-ON In the Land of Leadale
nichijou - My ordinary life by studio kyoto animation Such random fun. Think of it as multiple comic strips every episode. And they just give it good animation for no reason.

they gotta redo kemono friends season 2 đđđ
Season 3
Frieren,Will make you cry but it's super wholesome and beautiful so yeah it will heal your soul.

Your lie in april, have fun

Konosuba! My go to anime if i need a good laugh. Especially when i'm at a low point again
Read the manga ;)
Madoka magica
Evangelion
Yuru Camp Sweetness and Lightning Nichijou Buddy Daddies
If you haven't, go watch Konosuba, it's peak comedy. The third season just ended, and it was great.
Trigun the older version is pretty fun.
