Well, so I guess the title might be a bit deceiving. For a lot of people, anime is an aspect of their escapism, a way to forget the problems of the real world in favor of plunging headfirst into something funny and entertaining. For me, fiction is a way to help myself navigate very real feelings in a way that’s relatively safe. Still, with what’s going on out in the real world lately, sometimes I’m just in the mood for some goofy bullsh**t or some material that doesn’t mean to chip away at my fragile emotional state, and anime definitely has that covered too. Here are a few of my suggestions for shows that are just entertaining and don’t necessarily require anything additional from the viewer.
