"A Place Further than the Universe. It's written for people who feel stuck in virtually any aspect of life, and it offers some ideas on how to move forward. No romanticism, with a positive message and good comedy. You'll cry a little, but you'll feel better later. Overall, it's cathartic. In addition, r/anime's AOTY for 2018 and a top New York Times international show for the same year. It also won the Japan Anime Award for Best Screenplay that year."
"Grand Blue, KonoSuba! and Saiki K, what a good laugh I had with those series."
"The iyashikei genre, Non Non Biyori, Is the Order a Rabbit?, Laid-Back Camp, Girls Last Tour, Girls und Panzer".
"Try to see Sousou no Frieren."
"I've heard that Sousou no Frieren can be healing to see. I'm definitely going to add that to my list thank you."
"Aria: the Animation. It's like floating on a leisurely gondola ride. Plus, there are cats. No stress, no anguish, no worries."
"Sangatsu no Lion".
"It depends on whether you want to heal through suffering with romantic comedies, laugh through it with comedy, the cathartic revenge story, or you want to focus on some fantastic action or escapism."
"Gintama, a good laugh, and for a long time I couldn't think of anything else except Strawberry Milk."
"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya".
"I'm not sure it works with breakups, but a very underrated series called Princess Principal is very different and my favorite steampunk anime."
"Hi-Score Girl."
"Sing Yesterday for Me, I have no doubt."
"How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?". It's time to go to the gym, lifting heavy stuff makes sad voices go away."
"Bungo Stray Dogs. A lot of handsome, dynamic guys to forget about for a while."
"Great Teacher Onizuka. Great comedy anime that also teaches a lot about how to get through tough times. It's also quite long and will certainly keep you entertained for a while at least."
"Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song is good to watch. Probably one of the best original anime out there. Top 5 best soundtracks, top 10 best fights when it comes to martial arts and no powerscaling. The premise of the series is that Vivy can let the world hear her sing. Steins; Gate is another good one if you're interested in space-time stuff. The last would be The Apothecary Diaries. That show and Sousou no Frieren basically brought winter for me."
"Your Lie in April".
"It's not about breakups, but Romantic Killer is fun."
"School Days. The only romance anime where the damned get their comeuppance."
"Welcome to the NHK! It's great, also for people who are stuck in their life."
"My Roommate is a Cat."
"Look at Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost. It's cute, a healing anime."
"Kamisama Kiss, without a doubt."
"I'm really enjoying Delicious in Dungeon on Netflix. It's light-hearted, fun, and with some drama. I watched Haikyuu!! like 3 times after ending a 7 year relationship and that drove the demons away a little bit... But if you've already seen it, maybe you'll give it a pass."
"If you want to wallow in the despair of your breakup, 'My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex' was pretty good. If your heart needs healing, 'Fruits Basket.'"
"Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid for something incredibly cute."
"I highly recommend Minami-ke. Take your time to feel better."
"Carnival Phantasm. Nichijou. Azumanga Daioh to name a few with laughter. Castlevania. Mob Psycho 100. Demon Slayer. Hellsing Ultimate for action. Honey & Clover. Frieren. Angel Beats. Because of the feelings."
"Change up your daily routines for a few weeks. If you can, take a trip. A different place to get coffee, a different route to work, make it all new. The new anime is fine, but better try the games, although it certainly chooses something very different."
"Go get Berserk. Fight fire with fire. A trauma can only be defeated by a greater trauma. Don't go softly into the good night, go with a paralyzing despair."
"A friend recommended Re:LIFE to me when I wasn't really into anime, but it ended up being my favorite anime to this day. A very uplifting redemption story about a NEET in his twenties who gets a second chance at life. It's relatively short (13 episodes + 4 OVA episodes), but it also has one of the best endings in anime in my opinion."
"Yuri!! on ICE helped me get over my breakup! I've also loved some of the cozier food anime lately, like campfire cooking in another world or delicious in the dungeon."
"One Punch Man and Vinland Saga are two good non-romantic plots for different reasons."
"Anohana, you'll smile, you'll cry, and you'll be glad you saw it."
"Re:ZERO is solid, it's okay to immerse yourself in the characters and forget about real life. If you like sports anime, Run With the Wind is the best I've ever seen, and it's not very mainstream, so it's probably new to you."
"Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru is a silly romance and it's about a breakup. I think it's also a good anime to get over a breakup. And of course, there's no better anime to watch after a breakup than Nana."
"I feel sorry for you, you can binge One Piece and forget everything."
"How about Rendering Summertime to get you hooked on mysteries?"
"Do you want a healthy romance and maybe a few tears? Spice and Wolf 2008, Banished from the Hero's Party, Recovery of an MMO Junkie. It can help you realize that there's always something else out there that we didn't expect."
"Maybe Komi can't communicate. Maison Ikkoku if you feel like you can take something seriously."
"Anime series about food are the best thing after a breakup. They will make you forget for quite a while, to the point that your mind will focus mostly on how to remake those incredibly delicious and appetizing dishes. If, for some reason, you've seen enough in the past, go for the ones you haven't seen yet. I can't recommend anything to you if you haven't made a list of what you've seen before."
"If you don't mind intimate anime, look for Scum's Wish on Netflix. The situation may not match yours, but the interactions and ending can help you get through this path more easily. I hope you can regain your strength soon."
