Hi, my name is Jeffrey Thrash. You may know me from my YouTube channel. I enjoy video games and cartoons and I like to create my own animations. Enjoy!

So Squid Game Season 2 was the most depressing thing I've ever seen. AND it killed my desire to play Silent Hill 2 or any "sad Dad" PS5 game that is not Astro Bot (except I 100%-ed Astro Bot a couple months ago, so I need some other perky platformer to play). Give me ideas of more uplifting, palette-cleansing shows to watch next before my mental health is somehow damaged by a TV show that honestly isn't that much more disturbing than End of Evangelion or the later Hunger Games movies.
If you want something uplifting with a bonus of innocence, you can try out Frog & Toad, Stillwater, or Elinor Wonders Why (yes it's PBS Kids but science themed so you might learn something, who knows).
Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas made me cry tears of joy.
I have no idea why, but I suggest it.
Over the Garden Wall. Nice short animated series. Filled with humor, whimsy ,and musical numbers.
I can’t think of any games… I don’t know, Studio Ghibli movies? Kiki’s Delivery Service is one in particular that I think of when I need something to cheer me up :)
@jthrash its pretty mature, but more as its very slice of lifey and not childlike
Like Rocko's Modern Life? Admittedly, not a lot of "adult" animation outside of early Simpsons and Smiling Friends appeals to me, I guess I'm perfectly fine if it's like Rocko's Modern Life in that it depicts young adult life.
@jthrash yes. theres also a lot of nice chill rap/reggae.
Sweet!

Okay. If there's something a bit more mature that is fun and comedic, too, that would be nice. Especially if it's animated.
