Been feeling down these days and a bit lonely, is there any good Anime to watch for pure escapism? If possible, i would prefer Romance and Friendships not being the main focus of the story/plot. I dont mind if its on the side though.

Some of my favorite comfort/escapism picks (mainly fantasy and/or slice of life), all feel really cute and relaxing to me:
Farming Life in Another World
Encouragement of Climb
Restaurant to Another World
Flying Witch
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill
Barakamon
Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear
Long Riders!
Yohane the Parhelion: Sunshine in the Mirror

Worth also mentioning Is the Order a Rabbit?, it is another very relaxing/cute show who has a similar atmosphere and approach to series like Non Non Biyori (which you rated a 10), even though it clearly focuses on friendship and family a lot.

Hope it helps :)

@MeguSae38 oh yeah Campfire Cooking and Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear would be pretty good for your situation.

I'm not sure if friendship with a cat counts but a lot of people find comfort in My Roommate is a Cat. Seconding the Barakamon recommendation as well.

Sorry that its only one anime but A place further than the edge of the universe Fits your criteria and would be good for some escapism.

@Mega-PoNEO you are not wrong. I'm already having high blood sugar looking at the cover πŸ˜…. Thank you for the recommendation 😊

Yuru Camp

Encouragement of Climb

Sky Girls (the show, not the OVA) - a bit unexpected given how the show starts. there's some action, and a little drama later on, but overall it leans more slice-of-life

BOFURI - something with more action but a light-hearted tone with comedy

In The Land of Leadale - similarly, rather than directly being comfy, it's light-hearted and got a generally happy vibe

This is a wild take but I think you might like Bleach. Getting hooked on something previously unexplored is the best way to escape boredom ;)

@CC That is fine. I have a dog so that's not an issue πŸ˜… plus I love kittens. As long is purely a fantasy and doesn't remind me about real life. Like human relationships being the primary focus.

@Aubreys_Rage143 Please do enjoy Barakamon! I watched it during a tough time in my life and it brought me a lot of peace. Great Pretender is a lot of fun, too. There's a romance plot in one character's past but it isn't the main focus.

If you want to get lost in a big anime, there's also Hunter x Hunter (2011) β€” I saw on your list that you started it, but I think with the other stuff you like you'd really be into HxH if you can get past the first arc or two!

I would highly recommend la Maison petite cubes. It's rather short, but it'll definitely make your problems melt away while watching it.
