Any anime like early JJK?

I'm a massive JJK fan. I want something similar, but in terms of early season 1. Where we just started meeting the characters, and had lots of lighthearted moments. I've been re-watching the first couple episodes, and I love how it has lots of "slice of life" or goofy moments mixed into the story. Anything similar (can be any genre) but gives off good vibes I would love to see your recommendations.

Early jjk feels more like old anime. Something like og dragon ball or even naruto

Assassination classroom might be your speed. It gets serious at times but not much more than jjk season 1

I think (and hope) you will like My Hero Academia

I always love MHA for its new characters and waiting for their superpower to be revealed every arc.

Dead Mount Death Play.

Has some hardcore moments, gore, good fights, bonding, and a lot of random silly moments that are stylized almost exactly like the goofy jjk moments.

JJK'S comic relief didn't come across as unique nor well executed.

I think that you could probably enjoy any battle shounen, really.

If you like Fraternity styled humor, you could try "Grand Blue", or maybe even "Prison School".

I'd recommend "Frieren" (and feel free to skip the 4 episode prologue if you feel impatient at any point).
