For me, it’s the PS5 for having such a slick and futuristic look.

Honourable mention goes to Nintendo Switch for being so cute.

In nutshell

In nutsack

In these trying times:

Witch from Mercury is on my watchlist so I’ll have to give it a go.

Make sure to start with the prologue / episode 0.

As for everyone else, it’s just that typical anime thing of keeping characters in the same outfit so you don’t need a design sheet for multiple outfits.

This is so lame, considering a number of (personally highly-rated) anime have characters donning various outfits.

It’s kind of late to ask this, but why is Subaru still wearing his one-and-only tracksuit? Does he not have any other clothes? What happens when he does laundry? We don’t see him change out of it ever!

In fact, other characters are all wearing the exact same clothes or have multiple sets of the same clothes.

The only explanation I can think of - in Subaru’s case at least - is that someone casts laundry magic on him regularly.

What anime has the best romance?

Thank you for phrasing it this way, leaving room for anime that do not have romance among its genres.

For me, it’s Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury . I love the relationship between Suletta and Miorine so much.

Honourable mention goes to 86 for Lena x Shin.

I guess I like seeing couples overcome shared trauma.

Singapore

I’ll try not to repeat my answer from previous, similar threads.

This time, I would recommend Chiyo Kuno the Psychic. The manga is short and sweet, and the couple is cute.

Well deserved

I like the boyfriend’s self-awareness.

Having Meru break the fourth wall to explain a fairytale is a nice touch.

Just noticed that the depiction of the park is true to its name: lots of benches

This is such a cool world-building chapter.

From my understanding, there are two types of exorcists:

those who can see, but are otherwise powerless and got to rely on talismans - Mitsue, Rom, Miko

those who can’t see but able to burn ghouls; requires food (especially sweets) as fuel for their power - Seto, Hana

I briefly considered listing Wotakoi in my comment, but then

Konosuba

Being a parody, it subverts most tropes of isekai anime. Its humor is exactly my type too.

Honorable mentions:

• Cautious Hero
• Saga of Tanya the Evil

Most other isekai anime have the same cookie-cutter plot, making them so predictable and boring. Or they have an interesting premise, but waste it with poor writing and dumb characters.

I love the memes from the translation team.

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai is a good choice

best romance animes with an assertive male protagonist

Since the question used “animes” (though I’ve heard plural of anime is “anime”), looks like it’s fine to list multiple shows😈 In no particular order:

• Cherry Magic! - Adachi can be assertive sometimes; Kurosawa is pretty assertive.
• Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai - Azusagawa is simply great throughout.
• Skip and Loafer - Not very romantic just yet and can’t remember it well at the moment but I believe Shima is assertive.
• The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You - Rentarou is pretty assertive.

In fact, my top favourite romance anime tend to have an assertive male protagonist. I can’t stand wimpy, indecisive, weak-willed male protagonists.

The chapter title is rather apt.

The tsundere, tomboy, childhood-friend-turned-girlfriend is pretty damn cute.

I can understand the manager’s self-loathing, but I still dislike needless drama.

Glad to see our idol deuteragonist pull through and save the day.
