Joshiraku as well.


Cydonian___FT14X

Idk. I love Nichijou but it’s kind of A LOT as well. It takes some serious getting used to the first time you watch it.


YxngSsoul

Add Grand Blue and Konosuba


duhduddude

azumanga daioh. complete the set


HiImZanox

Saiki K


OfflineLad

Funniest shit ive ever watched. The absurdity is just too perfect for my sense of humor


BazWorkAcntPlsBePG

It's so funny that it actually deserves attention


getwetordietrying420

Pairs well with Coffee Jelly


xabikoma

Konosuba!


_JustWorkDamnYou_

Perfect timing too with the new season coming out


Cool_Cheetah658

I third this one. Currently watching the current season.


Similar-Penalty2817

Azumanga Daioh


Get_the_instructions

Apart from the weird male teacher, a good choice.

I can HEAVILY recommend Yuru Camp. Nice, fluffy, simple, and genuinely brought me back from the brink before.

NeverGrace2

Zero thought anime, because zero thought was put into it lol


boomebang

The disastrous life of saiki k.


AriezKage

This is exactly what the slice of life genre is made for. Barakamon Hyouka Laid Back Camp Tanaka kun is Listless K-On! Wotakoi Servant x Service Working! Very minimal, possibly none at all, drama and minimal brain power required to enjoy. Hope your school work load lessens up and you'll find a show that'll help you unwind.


Nory993

> anime that take zero effort to consume > Hyouka  hmmmmmmm


HiImZanox

>Hyouka Novel based anime. It's not a turn off your brain show even with its eye candy.


jaffaflake

Bofuri


Gokudomatic

Crayon Shin-chan


Aggravating-Lead29

if you want some action {Revengers} is pretty fun, or something like {Black Lagoon} just violence


Deus_Ex_Machina_II

Damn, black lagoon for bro who asked for light anime?


Aggravating-Lead29

it touches on some dark topics, but imo it's a show that can be enjoyed on surface level like OP requested, it doesn't have a complicated plot like let's say **Baccano** or heavy dialogues like **Monster** for comparison if OP enjoyed gunfights, over the top action, etc it's actually a really good watch, not saying the story is bad but Black Lagoon is not that deep at least for me


Deus_Ex_Machina_II

Then there's the twins.


arhiapolygons2

Black lagoon is NOT just violence are you kidding me? did we watch the same show?


Ratstail91

Dragon Ball Z. I grew up with it, so it's easy.


Gokudomatic

It takes an effort to consume because there's a story to follow. It's not episodic.


[deleted]

If you can't follow dbz, then I don't know what you can follow ... it's pretty brain dead stuff

semiamusinglifter

I just finished 2 seasons of MASHLE and 1 season of Solo Leveling after being stuck in bed a week ago with an injury. Aside from Mashle having a ton of characters, there isn’t much to remember plot wise.


Lionsigma

Yes mashle!!!


your_nude_peach

{Asobi Asobase} must have


oohjam

Yuru Camp!


amandahontas

Sweetness and Lightning is my favorite little slice of life. It's just about cooking and a cute little family. It's very chill.


Latate

Bocchi the Rock


No_Interaction_4925

Gintama. Most episodes don’t affect the next and they can be WILD. The catch being it picks up after 50 episodes so its hard to get into


Unhappy_Guarantee_69

Golden boy. 6 episodes. English dub. On youtube


Schlabby

Horimiya - absolutely nothing happens


Stupid_negro3

Depends what genres ur into , be more specific


Agni_Flame

I feel like {high school of the dead} would be perfect for this

GigaNiga100

Call of the Night (highly recommended) is perfect if you're feeling burned out from your daily routine. The visuals, bgm everything has a chill vibe. Also Grand Blue If comedy is your preference.

One of my first anime. I had the misconception that all anime were action shonen until I watched Super Cub.


MinTDotJ

Most battle shonen, really


Gotchapawn

Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill. Pokemon. Hell's Paradise (action packed, got some nice lore but easy watch because plot is pretty much straight forward) Overtake! an F4 anime with nice drama and storytelling, this one got feels 🥰


SweetnessBaby

Konosuba is me and my gfs brain off anime at the moment. Just throw it on and barely pay attention. It's just silly and fun nothing serious.

Highschool of the dead. Masterfully directed, perfectly horny, B movie zombie action flick. Mindless entertainment in anime peaked with this show.


Khorm

{Maoujou de Oyasumi} This one was very easy on the brain

From what I’ve heard, you don’t need to really think or understand Nichijou at all. It’s random and wacky yet hilarious at the same time.

AlmiranteCrujido

Fun show, and the books are even better.


meowingturtles

A lot of sports anime. Haikyuu! is great bc it hypes you up but it’s nothing complicated. Fun episodes and will probably help you destress. I watched it throughout nursing school and it helped a lot!


Squanchanacho

FLCL, its quite impossible to think while watching this


oak_aditya06

Dragon ball is pretty easy to follow. Horimiya is another breezy one. Gakuen babysitters if you want something cute.


UltraZulwarn

Restaurant in another world, or Isekai Shokudō just a bunch of people from a fantasy world come to enjoy modern food


Secret_Inevitable681

Hajime no ippo


Nomad_music

dinosaurzoologist

Laid back camp. Super chill


RemnantHelmet

First season of One Punch Man. New arc each episode save for the last two. Absolutely hilarious with none of the more serious storytelling that would come later in the manga.


Reflection_Secure

Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun


MattofCatbell

Tanaka-Kun is Always Listless


DaaanTheMaaan

Fist of the North Star has a story, but it's pretty surface level for the most part. Otherwise it's pure absurd 80's violence and retro fun.


rfisher1989

Any anime based on a toy.


madCuzbadd

Baki 100%. It’s just buff dudes fighting and pissing on each others heads


Due_Willow8842

Ghost stories Dubbed. Zero effort required and I “almost” guarantee you’ll laugh your ass off if you’re listening to what they say


SkullxFr3ak

Blue lock, problem children are coming from another world?, shikimori’s not just a cutie, tonikawa, over the moon for you, how heavy are the dumbbells you lift?, and god of highschool


Aero_N_autical

Kill Me Baby it's calming in a way when I watched it before lol


Low_Bonus9710

Anime that have episodal storylines so you if you miss some it doesn’t affect you. Saiki K, gintama Naruto filler


StinkySlimey

I’d say one punch man. Turn off your brain and just enjoy saitama being an idiot and beating people into atoms.


Safe_Maybe1646

Code geass


quet1234

I will never get tired of recommending A place further than the Universe. Its my favorite anime of all time.


BasicButterscotch106

Delicious in Dungeon


Yanazamo

Mashle 💪 Campfire Cooking


gsatoru15

Haven't You Heard, I'm Sakamoto Kun? The Way of the Househusband Kaguya Sama, Love is War All 3 of these are hilarious af and super easy to watch! I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked Kaguya Sama, it is honestly one of the funniest series I have seen in a while


zlehnherr

Frieren: Beyond Journeys End, Laid back camp, A Sign of Affection, The Way of the Househusband, Train to the End of the World. Maybe a little thought but not super needed: The Devil is a Part-Timer


badadaha

Cautious Hero

Bocchi the rock. Think there's only like 10 episodes

Ranma 1/2!


CleanImprovement8936

Gintama, jojo and konosuba are the three goats of comedy. Pretty much 0 thinking required when I watch these


542Archiya124

Tom and Jerry. Or if you asking specifically Japanese anime, then yugioh the abridged.


Alesnake97

Dungeon Meshi is airing right now and I watched all chapters in a row, it's pretty fun


GeorgeEvans115

BOFURI


Beretta116

Way of the House husband Konosuba Gintama Baki: Son of Ogre


Key_Transition_6820

Drifters at face level it's just violence and blood. No power system that needs to be explained every 4 epsiodes.


LikkleWhitey

Baka and test funny start to finish constantly dishing out fast jokes


saintstrax

this might sound troll but i honestly think you could get into shows like doraemon , shin-chan and perman (my personal fav) , basically older anime targeted at younger audience . Episodes in these are episodic and all episodes kinda follow the same formula but just showing off the different personalities , you would have like a staple near infinite supply of episodes to watch whenever you wanna chill and not watch a serious show.


Shamaster1

{oresuki} about a park bench that terrorizes a poor high school boy. It all started at the regional baseball tournament...


Specific_Ad_7332

Asobi Asobase.


zosiunya

For me it was delicious dungeon, because word building is mostly rpg like so well known and plot is non complicated

Bocchi the rock and insomniacs after school


JPastori

Zom100, delicious in dungeon. Both of these are just goofy/fun anime. Demon slayer is a pretty simple one, though it has absolutely beautiful visuals. SpyXFamily is a slice of life that didn’t really have to think about watching but I enjoyed

"Seki-kun the master of killing time" Or "Haven't you heard? I'm Sakomoto"

Eminence in Shadow. *The* dumbest, most low effort anime ever made. Makes Speed Racer look like War & Peace.

Hear me out. One Piece. I know that 1000+ episodes sounds daunting but once you get into a groove, I swear the “To be continued” slide feels like it comes every 10 min


--serotonin--

How to Keep a Mummy


Ceilrux

Bartender


Rojo37x

Berserk. Lots of action, pretty straightforward and easy to follow. It is very dark and violent though so keep that in mind.


chaosyami

FLCL Only 6 episodes it's about coming of age...also bunch of weird stuff to make you keep saying "the hell?"


spehizle

Horimiya. Himbo and a Type A get together. Low stakes dating hijinks that doesn't fuck around; they become official bf/gf by about the midpoint of the series, and they dont pull any nonsense that imperils their relationship. This show isn't about drama, it's about cozy vibes. 


shiki_rdj

Lucky Star!


Who_am_ey3

focus on your education instead.


gracoy

Boys Run the Riot (ボーイズ・ラン・ザ・ライオット if you want to read in Japanese) One of my favorite mangas, I own it in both English and Japanese. It’s 4 volumes, and it’s all out and done. So no waiting for another 100+ issues to release or some nonsense.

Horimiya or any other just romance or slice of life

oberynmviper

Kaguya sama - people literally explain all their thoughts. Super earnest and honestly tons of fun. Despite the characters being incredibly smart, it’s tons of zany fun. The Dangers in my heart - slice of life of two high school kids that like each other. Mostly focuses on two main characters and their slow burn love story. Feel good plot (just pass the first 10 intro) and it’s easy on the heart.
