Love is Always in Season: Romance Animes

It may no longer be the month of love but that doesn’t mean it’s no longer in season. Love has a unique way of always giving us that special warm fuzzy feeling.

One of the best ways to get that feeling, in my opinion, is Romance Anime. Anime, as an artform, has this ability of visualizing a lot of deep or sometimes complex feelings or emotions, romance animes especially.

So I’ve curated a list of six different romance animes that you can watch to get that fuzzy feeling. 

Every anime on this list is also available on Crunchyroll (a streaming service largely known for their collection of anime and Japanese popular media). I will also provide the number of episodes for each anime and whether it has an English dub or not.

Summary: When grad students Himuro Ayame and Yukimura Shinya realize they are falling for each other, they try to figure out what it means to be in love. Surely there must be logic behind it? As scientists, the two must be able to figure out the science behind love using logic and experiments.

Science Fell in Love is available to watch on Crunchyroll in English with two seasons and 24 episodes.

The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten

Summary: When Amane Fujimiya chooses to live on his own for high school, he runs into Mahiru Shiina, the smart and beautiful “Angel” of his grade, stranded in the rain.

These small actions slowly intertwine the two’s lives as they reveal their loneliness to each other in a budding domestic romance.

Now in high school, after class, he sneaks one of his Hina dolls into the school’s sewing room to fix her dress. While there, he runs into the bubbly, popular girl Kitigawa Marin. Expecting ridicule from her, Marin actually praises him, finding the Hina doll interesting. Noticing that Gojo can sew, Marin asks him to help her make cosplays for her favorite game and anime characters. Opening Gojo’s eyes to a whole new beauty of the world.
