Can anyone recommend me an anime? I recently watched “My Love Story!!” and it was so good. Yes, it was cheesy and overdramatic, but that was part of the charm. I loved how sweet and wholesome it was, and I really loved the characters. I also found it really funny.
It doesn’t have to be a romance anime, though I am totally up for that as I have gotten into some romances this year (I also liked Yamada’s First Time, which normally ecchi stuff isn’t my thing, but it wasn’t terribly gratuitous, it was sex-positive, and I got pretty hooked into the story and found it hilarious, too).
Just looking for something similarly touching, wholesome, funny, and fun to watch with likable characters, like “My Love Story!!”
Any thoughts? :)
Love, Chunibyo, and other Delusions would probably be right up your alley, it’s a similarly wholesome romcom about a girl who pretends to have magical powers and a guy dealing with constant second-hand embarrassment at being associated with her.
That time I got reincarnated as a Slime is an iskeai where the main character uses their incredible powers to build a wholesome community.
Monthly Girls’ Nozaki Kun is a hilariously awkward romcom about a girl who tries to confess to her crush, only for him to completely misunderstand her and think she’s a fan who’s discovered that he’s secretly a popular shojou manga artist.
Komi can’t communicate is a romcom about a girl who everyone assumes is soft-spoken because she’s beautiful, elegant, and perfect but actually has such crippling social anxiety that she can’t manage to speak to anyone. She’s felt isolated her whole life untill a boy who’s really good at reading social situations (to the point that he’s basically psychic) figures out what’s up and decides to be her first friend and help her make more friends.
Nichijou is one of the more wacky wholesome slice of life comedies without much plot. See also: Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star.
Spy x Family is hilarious and wholesome show about a spy who needs to create a fake family to prevent a war. He can’t let his family know he’s a spy but unbeknownst to him, the orphan girl he adopts secretly has psychic powers and immediately knows about his mission. He marries a woman who’s secretly an assassin using the marriage to appear less conspicuous under the pretense of needing a fake wife to get his daughter into a nice school. They then proceed to do adorable wholesome family stuff together while trying to hide their identities from each other and telling themselves they aren’t enjoying being a family as much as they are.
@the_artic_one Wow, thank you for the recommendations and the little write-ups for each! They all sound great, I’ve added them all to my watchlist. Thanks again!! :)
