considering all the heavy shit I just read/watched, I think I need a break.
I watched and old 90's anime called "All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku" the other day, coz the weird title interested me. It was actually pretty entertaining. I watched the 12 part TV version, there's an older OVA i haven't seen which has good reviews too, and a more recent retconned OVA (nuku nuku dash) that got bad reviews. They took out the bit about her being a catgirl but kept "catgirl" in the title. Which is really stupid.
Mentioned it because i searched and it's never been mentioned here before. I think it's a pretty funny / lighthearted series, as long as you can cope with the fact that every character (bar one) is (by design) incredibly stupid and silly anime cliches taken to the logical extreme (fully lampshaded and acknowledged though, lots of 4th wall breaking). they've got a "book girl" who makes Yuki Nagato look like a light-weight. This is a truly hardcore bookgirl!
has lots of jokes subverting old mecha and mahou shoujo series tropes. Though there was one really annoying character I would shoot if I could

Nuku Nuku looks human but has a cat's brain, so they even subvert the catgirl concept

She does has retractable mecha nekomimi though
Something a little different from the huge crop of slice of life / romance / harem comedies you get today.
