So I got her watching a few animes in the past year, our first was beastars, she liked it, then full metal, also one she liked, I showed her some space dandy but she wasn’t totally interested, and it’s been tough to find one that really hooked her. Then I found it, one day of just “eh whatever I’ll put this on” we started romantic killer, and it’s surprisingly really good. I like it but she loves it. Shell literally play it as her comfort show, I must have seen the season 3 times over now.
Now this is great and all, but I still wanna show her more things she’ll like, any ideas? I was thinking toradora is a long the same vein but so far my suggestions have fallen kind of flat and I haven’t really seen much slice of life, So I’d like to see what you all think
Some other recent, “non-standard”, romantic comedies that might appeal:
If the “messed-up magical contract” setting is what she likes, check out:
Toradora is quite good but I recall it being more serious. Some others like that:
As an aside, if you haven’t seen it already, Heavenly Delusion is just a fantastic show that everyone should check out, inventive and gorgeous.
Horimiya is like…one of the greatest romance animes of all time. My wife and I liked it a lot!
My wife also loved The Ancient Magus’s Bride.
On your now about seriousness, it’s not a deal breaker but it’s a fine line for her. She loved Fullmetal but could only watch a bit at a time because it was so story driven and intense. That being said, some of her favorite moments from RK are the intense parts and the character development
