My Favorite Romance Anime

Today being Valentine's Day I thought it would be a great time to go through my favorite romance anime! If you need something to binge today check out my list from last year.

The purpose of these challenges is to post a picture, but I, being the extra person I am, will write a blog about each topic.

This differs from how I am used to blogging, which excites me to test my creativity and return to find the answers to these writing prompts.

Feel free to join me in the comments below! I’d love to hear your answers, too!!

Day 20 An Anime I dropped

Before we get into my top romance anime picks, I wanted to do day 20. I was stumped on this day because I hadn’t dropped an anime. I usually take a break from anime, but I am cursed with the inability to leave an anime unfinished. This has caused me to watch some bad anime, but I still finished them. With that being said you should trust my reviews haha. I watch until the end.

Day 21 My favorite romance anime

Anime romance is top-tier. I cannot stand watching live-action romance, it has become cliche, and tacky. Romance stories are now “Hey I like you so I am going to treat you like trash” or “Sounds great let’s f*ck” and they lived happily ever after. But anime takes romance seriously and has raised my expectation of what it means to have someone love you. They can spend a whole series with the couple not even holding hands. Yet they fall so madly in love with each other’s character and become best friends. That to me is the purest form of romance. Even if they never kiss in the show I will be screaming the entire time the couple shares a screen.

Let’s get into my favorites

Fruits Basket 2019

This show will hook anyone watching with a beautiful and dramatic story. You will laugh and cry and scream at the screen. The original version of this show in 2001 did not follow the manga and was canceled. The 2019 reboot however nailed the story. The characters are not only funny but relatable. With everyone having a Chinese zodiac it’s fun to see which character is yours. One of the best storylines but more importantly a perfect ending that completes the show perfectly.

Just when I thought I couldn’t love this storyline anymore they came out with one of the best anime movies of all time.

Fruits Basket Prelude

This movie was an incredible addition to the Fruit Basket story. They took the time to give us more emotion and backstory to Tohru. Most of this movie was a light-hearted romance between Tohrus’s mother and father’s first meeting. But I couldn’t help but watch this movie with a pit in my stomach. We know from the anime that her father and mother have both passed away, so throughout the whole movie, I was waiting for the inevitable scene of her father passing away from a common cold. Even still it caught me off guard and we are left seeing Tohrus’s mother grieve to almost her breaking point. On a bridge about to commit suicide, Tohru’smom snaps out of her grief and remembers she has sweet Tohru to take care of. This movie was an emotional rollercoaster with a happy ending, and even though you know what is going to happen the writers did such an amazing job completely messing with your emotions.

My Love Story

If you don’t believe the perfect couple exists I dare you to watch this show! They are adorable and relatable when you are in your first relationship. I was screaming the whole show. I adore this anime!! This shows us the purest form of love, sweetly and entertainingly. I love watching these two navigate starting a relationship and the challenges that come with it. This is the most unconventional perfect couple. I have watched this anime multiple times and every time it gets better. could go on and on about all the amazing qualities of this show but you should just watch it!

Horimiya

This is a true romance!! They didn’t know each other and randomly met. Even with nothing in common, they became friends. Their friendship blossoms into a relationship. Which turns into a future together. I laughed so hard watching this anime and also felt so much raw emotion. If I were to have another relationship I would want it to be exactly like theirs.

The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague

As an introvert, I loved seeing two introverts falling for each other. They stay calm and collected but in their head, they are exploding with emotions. Himuro-kun made me blush throughout the whole show. He doesn’t know how to communicate his emotions yet the snow does all of the talking for him. His emotions are always on display, and we can hear his thoughts, which is adorable.

This is one of my new favorite romance anime. I can only think of a handful of anime that turned me into a middle school girl and this was one of them. I watched the whole thing in one sitting, screaming throughout the show and then immediately finding the manga online to keep reading the story. A simple and creative story that is so wholesome it will make you feel like you are going to explode.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War

This might be the best romcom anime of all time. This show made me laugh and gave me butterflies. It is a very creative take on a high school romance. Turning love into a game, not knowing who will cave and make the first move. The characters were adorable and I loved the uniqueness in their personalities. I need to rewatch this anime soon.

Now I need to ask you for some help. I haven’t been able to find a good romance anime in a while. Can you drop some recommendations in the comments below?

The Unexpected Caregiver: The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting

How did I come across this wholesome gem? I was watching Attack on Titan having my heart broken on repeat and decided I needed a little break. I went onto the site where I watch anime and clicked on the comedy genre. I clicked through a few and came across The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting. It reminded me of a few anime that I loved so I decided to give it a try. It did not let me down. This is one of those 12-episode anime that completely change your life.
