The Best Anime to Watch When You're Sad (Explainiac w/ Dan Casey) 

Miss Kobayashi’s dragon maid was my feel good anime. It has its emotional moments but it never fails to put a smile on my face or crack me up with every single episode

"Yes, this is a personal attack... you know... that ol' chestnut!"

Not anime, but Futurama always puts me in a good mood

I found Saiki K to be helpful when feeling sad. It helped me find some happiness during an incredibly difficult breakup.

Idk if JoJo is feel good seeing as how half of the characters you come to love meet a gruesome end...

For the well-being of everyone's mental state, I would recommend that you watch Sweetness and Lightning instead of Usagi Drop especially if you tend to read the source material after the anime is done.

Was holding out for Silver Spoon, was not disappointed.

I would add High Score Girl for feel good slice of life anime. It has recently helped me through some rough bouts with depression.

Most anime on the list: "This is wholesome." JoJo: "IT'S A MEME."

My feel good anime is Ms Koizumi Loves Ramen. Seeing someone be so happy to eat different styles of ramen across Japan always makes me smile and hungry for yummy food.

Try watching Sakamoto desu ga? it's good

Haikyu!! is on the list this is a good list

When you are sad go watch Neon Genesis Evangelion 😈

Your Lie in April, best feel-good anime ever

Another Feel good anime I would recommend would be : Yuru Camp Or Chihayafuru.

*How To Keep A Mummy*. I'm a grown-ass man and this is freaking adorable. It will make you feel better. People get sick in the anime and it's so cute it makes them better too.

Where to begin?? Rascal Doesn't Dream of Bunny Girls, Nisekoi, The Pet Girl of Sakura Hall, Love is Hard for Otaku - all of these make me feel good. Now this may be a more unorthodox choice, but Blood Blockade Battlefront (season 1) also had a way of cheering me up.

I'm watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure right now. Literally, at this very minute.

They haven't made an anime about everything yet, where's my Surfing themed anime. I want 12-24 episodes of fanservice with 1 city episode (to counter the 1 beach episode most anime seems to have) It could be centered around the sport, or a guy/girl who wants to win this year's tournament or something. Lol

Daily Lives of High School Boys or _Kokosei no Nichijou_ should've been mentioned. That series carried my sides to hell and back. Also lotsa feel good, it makes me feel like a 16 yo again.

Dan Casey. . . . Thank you.

I hope they are paying Mr. Dan Cave here well, XD he's the only reason left I tune in to Nerdist

Laid Back Camp and Acendence of a Bookworm is so underrated. Any episode fro either of these would put a smile on your face. Also Cells at Work.

The link seems broken! Can’t find the article on the site either

If you watch Usagi Drop, stay the hell away from manga! The ending of the manga is so jarring and disturbing. Enjoy the anime and forget the manga exists.

I did even had a list.... now I DO! 😗😀✨ plus jojo's references as pure bliss.

Moyashimon! That's the agricultural school anime that should have been highlighted.

This are the ones I would add to list: Yuru Camp, Heya Camp, Yuru Yuri, Natsunagu, Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon, Bofuri, Hataraku Saibou, Hinamatsuri, Koisuru Asteroid

I would say "Ronja the Robber's Daughter" for something with a slow pace, or "Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals" for some ridonkulous hilarity.

Thanks for the list, I'll have to check some of these out. My favorite feel good is Carole and Tuesday.

the 3 animes that interest me the most from the list: a place further than the universe usagi drop silver spoon and maybe jojo's bizarre adventures (or space dandy, but that one is not in the video) i haven't watched any of them yet

A Place a Further Than The Universe, Haikyuu, Jojo (everything), Usagi Drop, Yakitate!! Japan, Barakamon, Nichijou, Silver Spoon (my top anime).....These are all done... K-On!, Aria The Animation are the ones remaining... 😀

It's been a while since I've felt that down, but I would pick Zombie Land Saga, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, and That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime for how fun they are and the emotional moments. Also, Overlord, but that's just my favorite anime and I love it.

Yuru Yuri and Is the Order a Rabbit? are pretty feel good too, if you ask me... And practically every moe anime that comes up every season!!

I'm getting tired of y'all sleeping on Cory in the House. Sure it's old, but it's still gold.

I love Dan, i wish he would notice me

The best anime to watch when you are sad is "Gakuen Babysitters" and "The Adventures of Baby Yoda ft. The Mandalorian"

Should definitely watch Death Parade too. I mean if you want a taste of it then watch the intro and tell me it doesnt look like an anime you can have a good time

Wow, really surprised Senko-san wasn’t on here.

*Animes that can turn your frown upside down* Mentions JoJo's Bizzare Adventures Me: Let's just not mention the deaths so people *killed* by them.

You da best, Dan.

Girls Und Panzer. Wholesome AF.

In passing,, who is the greatest black swordsman in you opinion?

Love it. Keep being you, Dan!

Thumbnail promised JoJos, video provided JoJos, video has earned all the likes!

Silverspoon slaps.

Me at the start of the video : Yes, Yes, Yes Me at the end : is that a JoJo Reference ?!

Description link isn't working! "Looks like you were looking for a page that no longer exists. Sorry about that!"

A feel good anime list without Helpful Fox Senko-San? Disappointment!

I’m enjoying the slice of life aspects of Tsuritama. I say that because I don’t know how weird the alien conspiracy stuff is going to end up.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure takes time to grow on you + it has very dark themes (and like, I'm not less sad when I see a woman being forced kissed or someone being utterly evil and treacherous or animal cruelty ) so I'm not sure it's such a good recommandation when you're sad. It's at least not for everyone. I would have added Nodame Cantabile (classic and all around feel good), Kimi ni todoke (one of the greatest anime there ever was + feel good), Genshiken (hilarious), maybe even School Rumble (goofy) or Ouran High School Host Club (goofy).

Assasination classroom is usually one that cheers me up.

Sekirei,Rosario Vampire,High School DXD,Hyper Dimension Neptunia,Tokyo Ghoul,Seraphs of The End And Parasite!

America’s contribution to the global bread index is “Cheddar Bay Biscuits”. You’re welcome world.

the link in the description does sadly not work

I would add Tenchi Muyo and Ranma 1/2 to the list.

I can’t believe “my roommate is a cat” isn’t on here, I take this as a personal attack

The link isn't working.

JoJo to cheer you up from depression!? Fuck no that show gave me depression more than anything.....CEASAR!!!!

Adding Senko sama would definitely be a great touch, but eh that's life

Usagi Drop: so he’s raising his aunt?

won't be on anyone else's radar, but my feel good go to is Kalidostar. but it is far from new.

The link is broken

can someone list these ? including the ones dan only verbally mentions ?

First! Cureeeeed my depression! !!!!

What song does he play in the backfy

I Did someone mention...JOJO? *menacing stare*

Non Non Biyori, Hinamatsuri, Cromartie High School, Keep Your Hands off Eizoken, Rilu Rilu Fairylu, Lilpri, Is the Order a Rabbit? Laid Back Camp and Beelzebub.

Hyouka PLS

Silver spoon is my happy place

As an Italian, I accept your apology, don’t do it again........who am I kidding, let the bad puns fly Dan

I’m here to try to recover from Akame ga Kill

To the above, I'll add Asobi Asobase and Konosuba

SPACE DANDY

Haikyuu! Is great XD and K-ON! Is so cute!

The best bread in the world is Sourdough, end of story

**Eating Extra Toasty Cheez-its**. Uh.

...don’t follow up on the later chapters of Usagi Drop.

GINTAMA

You don't know what bread America makes, where did you come from, Danny boy? And what is up with that evil eye logo? You think we're too stupid to know it's origins?

Needs more chestnut

Food Wars? Too horny? How dare you, sir!? How dare you...

Seems like I'm the only one who hasn't watched any of the animes yet hehe

Ascension of a Bookworm is my choice & Jojo's always Jojo's

Background

Me: Sees JoJo on thumbnail also me: *clicks at 1000x speed of light*

NANI!? DIO!????

My hands are much hotter than that kid's. They got that gamer dexterity, if you know what I mean. And I can personally attest to the greatness of K-on, Barakamon, and Nichijou.

Saiki K. Bakuman Natsume Yuujinchou Yuru Camp Wagnaria! Restuarant to Another World

How dare you, sir, just mention Azumanga Daioh in passing and only to compare another anime and not add it to the list? You made Chiyo-chan sad

Im here cuz of darling in the franxx

As am Italian I forgive you As an Ouran High School Host Club fan I do not

Jojo is not an anime to watch while you’re sad. Fooly Cooly might be. Space Dandy, Panty & Stocking, Interspecies Reviewers, any of the Ghibli movies, etc.

I think its unfair to put JoJo on every anime list show .... Iget it it's super bananas but still.

I need new anime sources, never heard of half of these. 😐

Hey Dan, ever notice your viewer statistsic? Explainiac is your least popular bit, by quite some margin.

*menacing. With that title your getting us one step closer to unsubscribing

Where the FUCK is Gurren Lagann

Slam Dunk

Assassination classroom!
