Amanchu! Advance

These animes can make your mood better.

Easy-going shows heavily rely on its music to portray its peaceful/mellow nature.

Lots of Anime on MAL have the "Iyashikei" theme, but these are what I consider the actual best at being consistently wholesome.

This is a list of series where they tease you all along, characters are shown to have Yuri tendencies or strong subtext, however it's all just simple bait.

If you watch these series for the Yuri, you will be disappointed.

Do yourself a favor, and go read something nice on Dynasty, Yuri in Anime it's cursed.

Out of what I have seen

The seiyuu Inoue Kikuko https://myanimelist.net/people/195/Kikuko_Inoue?q=inoue%20kikuko&cat=person is known for frequently playing maternal characters or characters who at least have a nurturing personality. This is a list of all the anime where she plays a character with biological children.
