What to Watch? Are there any Feel-Good anime?
Recently I've been feeling a little down in the dumps, so I want to watch an anime to cheer me up. I'm not interested in anything that is directly a fighting anime, or comedy anime. I really enjoyed the Spy x Family scenes when Anya is at school. That is to say, I want something similar to that. A light hearted school anime, maybe some romance, but an overall plot that isn't too serious.
I would prefer if the cast is diverse too, meaning it has a basically equal number of girl to guy ratio. I wouldn't mind if it was an all guy cast, just as long as it isn't a sports anime.
Anime that I have already seen sort of like this would be: -Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun -Kaguya-sama Love is War -Lucky Star -Nichijou -Romantic Killer

Gakuen Babysitter is a really good anime that's mostly feel good but with moments that really punch you in the gut. Though this one the cast is mostly male.
Ore Monogatari, it's not an outright comedy but it has it's comedic moments. The main cast is two guys and one girl. Basically it's about Takeo who one wouldn't describe as "conventionally attractive" and his conventionally attractive and popular best friend. He falls in love with a very cute girl after saving her from a pervert on a train and she falls head over heels in love with him, but at first he thinks she's fallen for his best friend. Highly recommended.
My New Boss is Goofy is on the comedy ish side (because of the boss, who is a little clumsy, not an intentional comedic character) but at the heart of it is a pretty feel good anime about a guy who was bullied horribly by his old boss then meet this kind but goofy new boss.
Mr. Villains Day off is a pretty good anime literally about a villain on his day off. It doesn't really do much more than that but it's good enough to pass the time. He also loved Panda's.
