Summer 2025 Clash of Unsupported Shows - Zutaboro Reijou wa Ane no Moto Konyakusha ni Dekiai sareru vs Ame to Kimi to - Match 1

You usually think about villainess for all shows including "Reijou" in titles, but this one focuses on entirely different matter, of finding a place where you can belong and getting out of the spiral of self-hatred. Another hidden gem of this season.

Very cinderella like setting with middle-eastern touch. I quite like the main character design. Mostly great chemistry between characters.

Out of the few nominations, I'm actually surprised that this is a decent, if not, solid Josei romance drama series that its villainess shtick may prove to be a step back, but everything else feels like a fresh breather from the slack of the sub-genre thus far.

A very relaxing but also mature show, making me think about my life choices along the main character. The struggle of finding something you actually love to do is amazingly depicted here, and using smart tanuki as her support was a good choice as well.

My 2nd favourite this season. Very relaxing, great pace with comedy bits. I'd say the setting has a good amount of cliché french trendy vibe that's still charming and not overplayed. Getting lost in Fuji's eyes and witness You's shenanigans is too comfy. One of my fav episode is like a definition for well-crafted "slice of life" in my book.

If you need an anime that's a POV, Iyashikei style, you can do no better than this one. The feels and vibes just match like the wazoo.

A nice chill show with some laughs. There's nothing intense about it but the characters make it fun, and the animals are so cute.

I watched 3 episodes of this and it was cute, definitely the one I liked the best out of the eligible shows listed above! If you like a chill slice of life, this is very relaxing. I didn't continue as I'm not the biggest slice of life fan, but if that's your thing, this is a real keeper!
