So we often talk about best relationships, best ships... and best girls but what really matters if your bros and pals. So what are some of the best bromances in anime, share your best picks of male friendship below;

For me,

Genos and Saitama from One Punch Man are easily two of anime's best bro's and there bromance is truly something to behold. I like its development over the course of the first season, the more serious Genos pairs well with the light hearted Saitama, and they both play off each other well throughout the series. From Saitama taking on a bad rep to not allow Genos rep to fall, to Genos always remaining loyal to Saitama despite many other's being disapproving off him.



Whilst not traditional bros, Astolfo and Sieg form a nice bromance with the bubbly, loyal and personable Astolfo making up for his masters flat and stilted demeanour. However whilst different in personality, Sieg and Astolfo can always rely on the other to back them up when the going gets tough. They also show a lot of care and consideration for the other.



Askeladd and Bjorn are truly thick and thieves, whilst Askeladd keeps Bjorn at a distance over his past. There a genuine comradery and friendship shared between these two pirates and Vikings. And whilst both stories are ultimately tragic, I really liked the way there friendship was displayed over the series.



Kamina and Simon, truly there was never a better depiction of brotherly love as these two. How Kamina supported and helped develop Simon into the man he ultimately becomes is truly a great part of the series.



Gon and Killua, these two are the inseparable pair, from Gon's boundless optimism and pursuit of adventure and what he perceives as right, and Killua's more reserved let loyal nature to his friend Gon, the two are a bunch of fun throughout the show. You geniunely buy that this two kids are friends and will go to hell and back to protect and defend the other.



Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.

I see your Bromance and multiply it by 5 with G Gundam. Those 4 guys will do anything for Domon Kasshu.

Also Kouji Aiba and Ikumi Oze are better brothers than Kouji's real brother, a main character in the same show.

Best Bromances In Anime


Just about any Anime that has two males as main characters has some pseudo bromance elements in it unless the characters are simply just not friends at all.

Though the exemplary example of a true bromance in Anime has to be "Ore Monogatari!!". While "Ore Monogatari!!" comes across as a typical romance story between an extremely petite high school girl and a freakishly colossal and muscular over sized high school boy, the entire Anime mainly focuses an incredible amount of time on the friendship between Makoto Sunakawa and Takeo Gouda who have been friends since childhood and the obvious love they have for each other. It's a true Bromance Anime in the literal sense where even the Anime starts off with a childhood story about two Ogres that is suppose to represent the friendship between these two high school boys throughout the entire series.

"Ore Monogatari!!" is probably the best Bromance Anime I have ever watched before.

In the anime The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window by Tomoko Yamashita While the focus is primarily on their psychic abilities and investigations, there are elements of a close bromance between the characters.

However, whether it qualifies as a full-fledged bromance depends on individual interpretation. Women viewers perceive it as such, while the guys focus on the supernatural and mystery aspects of the story.

Other famous bromances in popular anime


Rin and Ryuji from Blue Exorcist: Starting as fierce rivals, Rin Okumura and Ryuji Suguro grow to become close friends.

Roy and Maes from Fullmetal Alchemist: Roy Mustang and Maes Hughes share an iconic bromance. Their camaraderie is unforgettable.

Izuku and Katsuki from My Hero Academia: Despite their rocky start, Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo develop a strong bond in their quest to become heroes.

Meliodas and Ban from The Seven Deadly Sins: These two immortal warriors have each other’s backs through thick and thin.

Itadori and Aoi from Jujutsu Kaisen: Their friendship blossoms as they fought curses and supernatural threats together.

Joseph and Caesar from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Their rivalry turns into genuine friendship, and their interactions are both hilarious.

Spike and Jet from Cowboy Bebop: As bounty hunters aboard the Bebop, their bond grows stronger with each adventure

Reki and Langa from SK8 the Infinity: Skateboarding buddies who share a passion for the sport and support each other’s growth

@Commit_Crime they didn't have sex, Sieg got with Ruler instead. Astolfo just was a bro. Who happen to look and act like a chick.

Bromances don't exist, they are gay and you know it. So I ship them no matter if they are related or not. BL is love, BL is life.

Only friendship between girls exist. GL isn't a thing.

All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.
