    Japanese Anime is a medium like books, movies which covers a large amount of genres. Many of these genres include sci-fi elements, or fiction. Some create entirely fictional, large worlds and tell long stories in them. These cover all kinds of age brackets and genres for any person of any age and background.

    Depending on what kind of literary or movie genre you like, you can easily find a genre that is fit for your enjoyment in many genres of Anime.

    For psychological comfort and escapism, i would recommend slice of life comedies but for alternative realities and fiction escapism, Anime with sci-fi elements are also pretty good.

    An example is below:

    https://www.netflix.com/es-en/title/80992137

    The above anime combines many elements ranging from sci-fi, music, fictional future world, group effort, relationships and many other elements. It is a pretty good watch.

    Another example for maximum escapism and relief is below. A slice of life comedy. With minor sci-fi elements for humor:

    https://www.funimation.com/shows/nichijo...nary-life/

    If it says 'It is not available in your region', you can google it and watch it through 'other venues', free of charge. You can do this for any anime title.

    Another anime for good escapism is Konosuba. It tells the story of a teenager who dies in this world and then is moved to an alternate world. It is a fantasy fiction + comedy. Those who read fantasy literature, watch fantasy movies, play fantasy games or mmos would like Konosuba very much.

    ...

    Japanese anime is a big medium and there is all kinds of genres in it. From film noir to psychological thrillers, from sports to history.

    Cowboy Bebop for example, is a sci-fi anime that takes place in a future sci-fi world, in space, where a group of misfits do odd jobs to make ends meet. Its a slightly dystopian society, with a much more serious tone.

    You can find any kind of genre that would suit your taste, just google your preferred genre with the word 'anime' to find relevant titles.

    ...

    While watching Japanese anime, always have the original Japanese audio on, with subtitles in your language. Japanese voice acting is unparalleled, and no dubbing from any country can match the realism and effort Japanese voice actors put into these anime. It may feel odd at the start, but soon you will get used to it and follow the flow smoothly.

    ...

    However note that Japanese Anime is very good in creating large, long-running stories that pass in large, fictional worlds. Make sure to not lose your touch with actual reality and start living in anime realities, binging on episodes while avoiding the outside world.

    Treating anime like books, or good, long-running tv series is a good way to balance its consumption.
