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
Want a really obscure recommendation: Yamada’s First Time: B Gata H Kei which might sound really not like what you’re looking for when reading the synopsis, but is actually a really solid rom-com that doesn’t follow the cookie-cutter tropes. Well, it does but only to a degree.
Then there is Ore Monogatari!! which I consider being one of the most refreshing rom-coms since they don’t spend all season on getting to the relationship but are developing that relationship instead.
Lastly, my favorite rom-com series is Working!! which is just perfection that got even better with each season.
B gotta h Kei was one of my firsts and favorites, i agree its a good rom com but idk if she’ll really enjoy all the fanservice
I don’t particularly remember it having fan service, outside of what fits the story. But it’s been 13 years since I’ve seen it, so it might be just my nostalgia googles. But that just tells me it’s time for a rewatch once I’ve whittled down the anime of the season to a manageable amount.
