Kowloon Generic Romance is perhaps one of the most mysterious anime I've seen all year and it's no understatement. Behind the dense city population of 33,000 contains a love story - a story about two adults in the 30s. This romance comes at a price because the female protagonist Reiko Kujirai suffers a case of memory loss, one that finds herself struggling with throughout all series long.

Kowloon Walled City is far more than what it seems with a mysterious background history. The dystopian-like vibes blends a historical and modern look. Furthermore, Reiko suffers from memory loss and apparently has a history with her love interest ...

Reiji Miyajima is more known these days for writing the series we come to known as 'Rent-a-Girlfriend'. It aired for three seasons with a fourth to air in July 2025. He's also known for creating AKB49: Renai Kinshi Jourei that for some reason yet hasn't gotten an adaptation yet. The Shiunji Family Children did however receive one and a 12-episode adaptation sets us into the world of the Shiunji family.

There's no doubt this series is adapted as a romantic comedy, the type with relationship building among all the cast. Or to be fair, the most important members. At the center is male protagonist Arata, the ...

Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? sounds like a type of anime written as a rom-com experiment. Even if it's intentions were different, this anime practically evokes the idea to test the limits and boundaries a friendship can exist between a boy and girl. It's the classic take on 'can a guy and girl just be friends?'

Right off the bat, we can tell this anime falls under several rom-com tropes. The typical male protagonist and their childhood friend makes their appearances in the first episode. Then, that protagonist meet a beautiful girl and thus, let the love triangle begin. Meet our main characters: Himari Inuzuka, Yuu ...

With a generous marketing wheel and promotional effort, you'd at least expect a franchise like Beginning After The End to inspire some hope into a market dominated by isekai in today's industry. But no matter how much marketing or word of mouth spreads, Beginning After The End further proves that even popular franchises can fall short to mediocrity. This here, is another abject failure that proves popularity doesn't equate quality.

From the moment Studio A-Cat was announced as the studio, high hopes were tossed out the door. Their resume of anime projects in recent years haven't exactly set the bar high. Still, I was slightly optimistic ...

It's 2025 and here I am sitting and wondering when when we'll get to see a show about clothes removing as part of its plot. I don't mean it just as part of a story gimmick like High School DxD but an actual plot device to jump start the story. Well, Please Put Them On, Takamine-san is just the answer.

Please Put Them On, Takamine-san is a peculiar case for an ecchi rom-com. It's known for being self aware of both its plot and main female protagonist. Title character Takane Takamine is protrayed as the flawless queen bee, an alluring beauty that catches the eye of ...

You know, when there's a harem tag grouped together in the same place with romance and school, the first thought would be whether the protagonist wants to live out their fantasy. Yes, a fantasy of being surrounded by girlfriends. Coming off from the previous season, Rentarou Aijou's quest to obtain 100 girlfriends continues.

Chances are, you're coming into season 2 to see how far his journey will be. He's still far off from the 100 girlfriends goal but this season does showcase his progress. Similar to the previous season, we're also treated with bizarre sequences often involving Kusuri's experiments. Don't believe me? Just see the opening ...

You know, anime has been long enough in Japan that the presence of shrine maidens is considered a common norm. Maybe they're not always prominently featured in Japanese anime and not all of them are created equal. Yet, we should tell ourselves that shrine maidens represents a sense of pride in the anime industry. The Amagami Sisters in this anime proves just that.

Based on the manga of the same name, the 24-episode adaptation follows a young man named Uryu Kamihate as he follows his dream to become a doctor. Easier said than done, his journey takes him to the Shinto shrine where in this timeline, ...

Watching Kuroiwa Medaka ni Watashi no Kawaii ga Tsuujinai (Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms) feels like a social experiment between main characters Mona Kawai and Medaka Kuroiwa. The school is part of their experiment where from the first episode, Mona tries to get Medaka's attention through her charms. And his response? Medaka is seemsingly imprevious to those charms.

Mona is the campus queen at school and it shouldn't take long to see why. She has the look, personality, and presence of a girl everyone looks up. Wherever she goes, almost everyone admires her. In the hierarchy of school steroetypes, her status is among ...
