Went from hating slice-of-life anime to loving it after a rough week

So my buddy Mike was binge eating ice cream after his dog died and put on that laid back farming anime.

Wait, isn't that exactly what he should be doing? Eating comfort food and watching something chill is a pretty normal way to cope with a loss. When my aunt passed, I watched the same low-stakes cooking show for three weeks straight. The farming anime probably helped him take his mind off things without any drama or stress. Honestly, that sounds like a smart move, not a weird one.

Nah that's not quite right - it's not a dog, it was Mike's cat that passed. He's got that orange tabby that was like 14 years old. But yeah the point stands, low stakes anime hits different when you're going through it
