Just too!

Childhood friend won

Just too! is a show from 2017 that many have already forgotten. It follows Eita Izumi, who returns to her old town to finish high school and reconnect with old friends and also revive old feelings. The show with such a premise seems like a romance, but it showed a lot of strengths.

First, it was much more subtle and nuanced in its hold of romance in general. But perhaps the biggest surprise was that it was also a show that saw a childhood friend win in love “battle”. It seems like the name “just for!” May have been a reference to love to do what it wants with whom it wants.

Alya sometimes hides her feelings in Russian

The central gimmick turned out to be quite delightful

On the outside, Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou, or only Alya, is a cool, calm and collected individual who oozes with indifference. But she secretly has feelings for her classmate, Masachika Kuze, who she sometimes confesses in Russian, the only problem is that Masachika understands Russian.

The cultural conclusions in the show were refreshing and unlike a generic show, what fans got was a charming story with sweet characters and occasional laughs. It was made by Doda Kobo which is perhaps best known for Nozaki-Kun and OSHI NO KO.

Tsuki Ga Kirei

Sometimes subtlety is good

Tsuki Ga Kirei is a subtle anime that tells a simple love story between Kotarou and Akane, the former a future writer and the latter a track star. The show does not feel like something you can expect from, but when the audience settles into the show's rhythm they are drawn into the raw honesty.

Kotarou is a straight shooter and is honest about its emotions, which is not always the most common feature of a romantic protagonist. Obstacles in the way of romance are usually facing Kotarou, and their romance with Akane is refreshing.

Snow white with the red hair

It had very little to do with snow white

When many saw Snow white with the red hairThey would have assumed that it was a story that would follow the Disney Classic Beat for Beat, with the only exception as the protagonist, Shirayuki, has red hair. While the story is a fantasy with princes and princesses, Shirayuki is far from a virgin in need.

What distinguishes this show is just how strong it has especially Shirayuki that is beautiful, feminine, but still independent and resourceful, which is not always how such characters are produced. The show has two seasons and has always been well reviewed. It looked like it would be a generic romance, but was anything but.

6

Beastar

Introspective with a darker story than expected

Beastar Looking hard at society's distrust and prejudice in a story that originally looked like an anime version of zootopia. The show sees, Legoshi, a wolf and Haru, a rabbit, develops feelings for each other on the background of a murder mystery that can involve LEGOSHI which is a carnivore.

Anime that has a 3D look is sometimes not given as much chance as others and it may have felt that Beastars will be similar, but this was not the case. For anyone who simply expects a high school to get something very different when Beastars went into the foamer territory and turned out to be a pretty good clock.

The dangers of my heart

A delightful story about love and friendship

Kyotaro fantasizes about killing his classmates. In particular, he fantasizes about ending the beautiful Yamada. However, the two meet and begin to understand each other better and a friendship follows. The expectations at first sight with The dangers of my heartwas that it would be a simple ecchi with a cute girl and weird guy.

It turns out that the show is much more nuanced than first advertised and the contrast between the joints is physically interesting. In addition, the show explores a friendship with hints of a romance and takes time. Many were not prepared for the dangers in my heart, and it became something of a sleeping hit.

Hyouka

Mystery and romance tends to go well together

Hotaru Oreki joins the Classics Club where he, along with the energetic Eru Chitanda, solves what looks like everyday mysteries. Hyouka Is a beautiful anime made of Kyoto animation and is a show that can go under the radar for many because of its somewhat bland synopsis.

But it is in the normal things that Hyouka does really well. The characters in Oreki and Chitanda are both really well written, and the beauty of the animation tends to surprise people. The story is also very related, and romance is a slow burn, all of which contribute to a really well -made show.

3

We never learn

A better harem

There are some Hollywood movies that come out at about the same time as seem the same story but with different characters (think that Olympus has fallen against White House Down). Apparently the same happens in anime sometimes with We never learn Feeling very similar to quintessential quintuplets in their condition with a struggling protagonist made to guide beautiful girls.

While We never learn Is a harem and does much of what harem does, it also raises art, especially when it comes to character development to the point where each character is really favorable. The series feels like it is better than it has any right to be, and everything is a lot of fun.

Makeine: Too many lose heroines

An unexpected romantic comedy

Too many lose heroines Looks like a harem, but it is so far from being one in reality. The story is really about what it is like to lose on love, and a protagonist who helps all the girls get through it, not by being a romantic object themselves, but rather by expanding a hand of friendship.

The show is also wonderful, and it can surprise the viewer because it has such a simple condition. Chemistry between the characters is also very healthy, and friendship seems genuine. It looked like a typical harem show, but for those who gave it a chance it turned out so much better.

Your lie in April

Get expected depth this show moved

Your lie in April Always looked like it was going to be good. Was handled by A1 images and made from an award-winning manga it already looked good, but few could have predicted how good it was. The story of Arima Kousei and Kaori Miyazono still leads people to tears to this day.

What made the story so convincing and elevated that it was the characters' honesty. They were complex, layered and the musical point that accompanied the show was delightful. The animation was first-class and showed the care's A1 images that were inserted in the project.
