Romance continues to be one of the most popular and delightful genres in anime today, with each new year bringing in new romance stories that overlap with other genres like slice-of-life, high school, drama, fantasy, and certainly comedy. All of the biggest streaming platforms feature an impressive collection of romance anime, most of all the streaming giant Crunchyroll.

Crunchyroll might have a few gaps in its library, but otherwise, it is positively loaded with most of the best and most popular romance titles out there. Most of them are short series, and a few are quite lengthy or are a high-quality anime film that will make for cozy viewing.

Update on February 10th, 2025 by Louis Kemner: This list of the best romance anime on Crunchyroll has swapped out several entries for newer, stronger ones and has been streamlined for an easier reading experience. That includes some mega-hit romance series that...

Anime is usually geared toward one of the four major demographics, with adult anime fans getting the most mileage out of seinen and josei. Seinen and josei tend to feature older character and deep content for adults, setting such anime apart from shonen and shojo. That means typical anime fans over 30 won't find much to like about shonen and shojo, especially of those anime series focus on the lives and angst of teenage characters.

As a general rule, anime fans 30 and over won't find much to like about teenage heroes, since those viewers can no longer relate to protagonists half their age, weakening the appeal of teen-centric anime series. Exceptions will always exist, such as older anime fans who get occasional nostalgia for their teen years through anime. That said, plenty of anime series are clearly written for tween or teenage viewers and won't have much to say to anime...

Japanese publisher Imagica Infos has announced that voice actor Sumire Uesaka 's new photo book is set to release on March 14, 2025. It will be the fifth compilation book of photos from “Uesaka Sumire no Doushi Shokun ni Tsugu," her serialization in the publisher's Seiyu Grand Prix magazine. The photos were taken under 24 different themes, including “Fruit Sake,” “Sumida River,” and “Concept Cafe.” New photos were taken in Fukuoka and Kumamoto for the book, which introduce the scenes that she is relaxing in Nakasu's food stalls, the Muromi River, and Kumamoto's castle towns and hot springs. Message from Sumire Uesaka: I am surprised that this is unexpectedly my fifth photobook, but since the serialization in the magazine has also been my own personal growth album, so I feel that I have created yet another record of memories and growth. This is the first time I have traveled such a long distance for the magazine!

2024 was another great year for anime. It was filled with original stories, great set pieces, and plenty of interesting characters. Some characters got the limelight they deserved, taking center stage during 2024. Other characters were incredible but didn't get the attention they deserved, doing very well within their respective series but being overshadowed by big shows. Some of the most popular characters were obviously going to be big from the beginning, like Goku's resurgence in Dragon Ball Daima.

Other characters took the world by storm out of nowhere, like one of the best elves in anime Frieren from the legendary Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. While some characters got the screen time they deserved, others sat back and became largely underrated, giving people who didn't initially watch their shows a great reason to tune back in and see some of the best from 2024.

2024 has been a great year for anime, with some of the best adaptations in recent years captivating viewers worldwide. With a great diversity of series, there's plenty to catch up on for those who choose to look back at the year's standout animes. However, thanks to globalization and the improvement of streaming services, although there is greater access to all types of anime, this can also make it more difficult to know where to start.

Despite the oversaturation of new releases, most of the time only a few end up being memorable and worth recommending. This way, with Fall season close to ending, it's now possible to point a clear line to the finest adaptations of 2024 that every anime fan should watch.

While this year marked the long-awaited return of several fan-favorite anime franchises, this list doesn’t take sequels into consideration.

For most, the world of anime and manga is dominated by shonen series, typically action-focused storyies aimed primarily at a young male demographic (famed hits like Dragon Ball Z and even Death Note included). However, there are also anime and manga aimed at an older demographic, and that category is known as seinen.

So, what is seinen? "Seinen" is media aimed at older males in their late teens and 20s. In general, these series tend to star older protagonists, feature more explicit content, and deal with darker subject matter (though not all have to). While that male audience is the only real requirement to be seinen, the series can be enjoyed by anyone, and contains the variety to do exactly that. Below are ten of the absolute best seinen series available, offering great entry points into this diverse and underappreciated genre.

Himiko Toga is one of the beloved and intricately complex characters of My Hero Academia's League of Villains. She is known for her unique interest in the blood of those who have managed to win her affections, as well as her heartbreaking backstory. Like the other members of the League of Villains, she was outcast by a society that praised the perfect and rejected anything that fell out of normal appeal.

Leah Clark, the woman responsible for translating Togas complicated character into English, gives the performance of a lifetime as everyones favorite devilishly cute vampire girl. However, aside from Toga, Clark's career spans across many notable anime series, displaying the epic range of her voice-acting talents in numerous characters.

While the vast realm of anime is home to beloved and inspiring heroes like Son Goku, Yuji Itadori, and Izuku Midoriya, not every character is a fan-favorite. Some of them are noxious and horrible antagonists, while others live in the middle ground: innocent enough to not be the worst villains, but not likable enough to be iconic heroes. These annoying, irritating characters are seemingly designed to rub the viewers the wrong way.

Such annoying characters are also liable to pester and frustrate the surrounding characters, making their unpleasant personalities that much more distinct. Sometimes, those characters know they're antagonizing everyone around them, while other cases, they don't even have enough self-awareness to know that they're behaving badly. The most irritating, tiresome characters have few fans, or they might be polarizing, having fans who like them despite their behavior and detractors who simply want them gone.

Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! is one of the most popular anime series of the Summer 2024 lineup, highly praised for its well-written and painfully relatable characters, introspective plot, and stunning animation (credited to A-1 Pictures). This slice-of-life romantic comedy based on Takibi Amamoris light novel is a hit anime that will continue to be loved long after its final episode airs.

A huge part of Makeine's appeal is its characters, who are not only realistically written versions of common anime stereotypes but also possess a unique charm that endears them to viewers, especially the so-called "losing heroines" of the series. Each character leaves the audience looking forward to their growth and victory, regardless of the anime's title.
