Silly Anime for When You’re Down

Whenever I’m not feeling my best, my favorite thing to do is watch things that make me laugh. Sometimes that means funny YouTube videos, and others it’ll be anime that I find silly! Today we will look at three of my go-to silly anime that make me laugh away the blues~

Squid Girl

If you like silly antics and terrible puns, Squid Girl is the perfect anime to watch! Our main character is, of course, Squid Girl herself! She comes to the surface to take over the world to take revenge on those who continue to pollute the ocean. However, when attempting to show her powers to a family in their beachside restaurant, she bursts a whole in their wall. Now she has to pay off the damages by waitressing for them!

Squid Girl is now living on the surface and learning the ways of humans and their every day lives. She begins to make new friends and many memories through a series of hilarious encounters throughout the series.

I absolutely recommend this to those who want something far from serious~ It would be perfect to watch during summer as well, with the ocean themes and beach vibes!

Daily Lives of High School Boys

Daily Lives of High School Boys is exactly as it says. This anime follows the every day lives of three high school friends who attend an all-boys school. As they find ways to pass time, they get themselves into silly situations - some that aren’t even real.

Not only is this show hilarious to me, but it really shows how simple days can be interesting and enjoyable if we make it that way. In recent years we have also gotten the manga licensed in the West, so I highly suggest you read it as well! On the thought of reading, I would like to warn you that the anime is subs only as far as I’m aware. So if you are not keen on reading subtitles, this show may not be for you!

Lucky Star

Much like Daily Lives of High School Boys, Lucky Star is an anime that follows the day to day lives of four girls who attend the same school. You can watch how they pass time in their daily life, while getting in laughs at how they think and act on the norm. Much like real life~

This is another great, simple show that is silly but also shows that our every day lives can be enjoyable. It is definitely a feel good show that I play on repeat when I am not feeling my best!

We also have very relateable characters! Such as the shy and quite Tsukasa and Miyuki, the gaming and manga obsessed Konata, and the easily irate Kagami. These characters work together to make the show feel relatable, but still entertaining.

I hope these anime are ones you can go to when you are feeling down! I know everyone has different ways they use to feel better, but I hope you would like to try watching these!
