Friend anime?

Any of you know of any good animes that stress friendship? Basically something similar to like One Piece, Fairy Tail, and Naruto.

[Edit} It seems that I wasn't clear. I already watch those 3 and I'm just looking for new ones that also have the friendship theme. Gurren Lagann is another example of this.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Anohana. That anime is basically all about the importance of friendship, but is pretty sad though, at least imo.
Think you'll thoroughly enjoy it, sort of a short series :<

Bittersweet ending though, but that's all to you to decide if that's good or bad

friendship aint a theme it's a concept. But if you want some of that stuff, it'll be hard to find in anime.

@crazypoorer: Can't say I'm up to date with either the manga or anime. Though the current anime arc seemed like a filler season? I did like the manga up till where I read it (the tournament whatever + the dragon thing).

@sparkshooter: Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm going to say it became horrible when the fights were ending. I liked the idea of the arc, but the execution was dreadful. In almost every fight, friendship won; not their skills, not because their opponent made a mistake, but it was their friendship that freaking won them the fights. How on earth does that even make sense?

Sorry, I just hate ridiculous anime/manga that make no sense, hence why I hate DBZ.

The newest arc is, hands down, the best arc they've had so far. Honestly, the previous arcs are nothing compared to the current one.

[quote=Skyenets]I'm surprised that only one person said Fairy Tail... But yeah, Fairy Tail or One Piece seems like the really friendshippy kind of thing. But like Crazypooper said, Fairy Tail overemphasises it to the point that it's bad. Like I get it, you get stronger thanks to the power of your tomodachi Natsu. I still liked it though. At the start I really got filled with happy emotions about it all.[/quote]

Fairy Tail is the only anime/manga that stressed friendship so much that it became garbage

Yuyu hakusho definitely does. Uhm the biggest motivation for the main character of One Piece is protecting his nakama/friends/crew mates.

I feel like it would be harder to find an anime that doesn't stress friendship.

Any big name shounen animes usually would do. But I think One Piece has it the strongest.

If Fairy Tail and Naruto don't stress friendship and comrades enough, no anime does.
