Review for Season 2:

Wow.

This is a beautiful romance. I'm awestruck by how good this anime was, because for me, it's probably up there among the best romance anime ever.

What surprised me was how well written the romance was. Both these characters are beautifully written and grow at a great pace throughout the show. The fact that they're both inspired by each other, is exactly what makes this romance so brilliant and somewhat rare. There's also a beautiful scene where they both tell each other how they changed each other's lives and made them who they are today.

Ichikawa's character writing impressed me the most. Even in S1, his character development was the standout feature for me. In S2, it picks up right where it left off, and doesn't drop pace at all. When you look back at the start of the show, it's hard to believe that Ichikawa used to be the way he was. His character development is paced so perfectly. There's so much to admire about him - the way he thinks, the way he learns about himself, the way he always wants to be better than he is today and the way he genuinely loves Yamada.

Another great feature about this anime was its pacing for the romance. The romance moves along at a great pace, throughout the show. It doesn't slow down once. Which is again rare in romance anime.

The direction is phenomenal. With a show this well written, the direction, animation and the soundtrack should be able to match that. And it certainly did. The director also directed Teasing Master Takagi San. And I remember that even in S3, every single episode was close to a masterpiece. I'd say it's the same case with Dangers in My Heart S2. A lot of that is because of the direction. The soundtrack is brilliant too and it really stands out during the build-ups of heartfelt moments.

Although, I will say this, this anime is very dramatic with its sweet or romantic moments. So if you're not in a certain type of mood during the first watch, you could easily perceive it as over-the-top. But you might change your mind when you revisit it.

Overall though, I thought this was a phenomenal romance and it really took me by surprise.

In the first episode, you think you know what this is going to be and the personalities of the characters. As it goes, they become people you are super invested in. The series' description is a bit misleading and once you get to the 4th episode you start to get very passionate about the story.

It doesn't drag on too long and cause too much frustration, just enough to notice but then you get a payoff in many forms. The show's humor does mostly revolve around teenage situations that are actually realistic and not just obnoxious "shock" toilet-humor.

I started watching because I kept seeing it highly rated and wanted to see if it was niche or if it was for everyone. This is for everyone and its better than it has any right to be.

It actually builds the relationships in a believable way. The two main characters are multi-layered and not just one note. Every dimension to their personality has a slight variance and sometimes even contradiction, which adds to the believability and speaks to the incredible writing for the show.

Among the all romcom anime that I ever watched this one is the best and I am sure of it you won't regret after you watch this anime.

In my rom anime list this one is the top. They're little cringe and double minded jokes but also wholesome at the same time. There is the main lead kyoutarou ichikawa at first I thought he is a creep and also a introvert well he is a creep though. It felt uncomfortable but after some episodes I liked it in that way.

Yamada the female lead she does some funny things occasionally that made me laugh. When she show her cute side. She used the library as her secret eating place even though that was against the law. And also she is a model

the danger in my heart seems uncomfortable at first, then the series taken an unexpected turn. I am sure of it you will like it.

The Dangers in My Heart: A Hilarious Descent into Unexpected Romance "The Dangers in My Heart" isn't your average rom-com. It takes a hilarious and surprisingly heartwarming detour, defying expectations at every turn.

The story centers around Kyotaro Ichikawa, a reclusive teenager with a dark secret: he fantasizes about murdering the most popular girl in class, Anna Yamada. However, beneath this edgy exterior lies a nervous boy with a massive crush. What truly shines is the subversion of this initial premise. Kyotaro's dark thoughts become a comedic goldmine, a constant internal monologue that fuels the show's humor.

As the series progresses, a delightful twist emerges. Circumstances force Kyotaro and Anna to interact, chipping away at their facades. The fear of rejection and the awkwardness of budding feelings are portrayed with brilliant comedic timing. The supporting cast adds another layer of charm, with their own quirky personalities and surprising depth.

"The Dangers in My Heart" isn't afraid to tackle serious themes like social anxiety and the pressure to conform. But it does so with a light touch, weaving humor and genuine emotional moments seamlessly. The animation is clean and expressive, perfectly capturing the characters' over-the-top reactions and their subtler emotional shifts.

Here's what truly elevates the show:

Unique Premise: The dark humor surrounding Kyotaro's fantasies is a hilarious twist on the typical rom-com tropes.

Character Development: Both Kyotaro and Anna shed their initial appearances, revealing surprising vulnerabilities and hidden strengths.

Shifting Dynamics: The show masterfully transitions from antagonistic humor to genuine emotional connection.

The dangers in my heart is one of the most realistic and grounded romance I've ever seen, it's represents the life of middle schoolers perfectly, they're a little cringe a bit horny but also wholesome at the same time. And what makes this show so good is because the development of the mc and there's an actual progress in their relationship also their interactions didn't forced and feel realistic and natural, they also don't use any generic trope like other romance anime and there's so many little details in this anime which makes the story more interesting and makes you appreciate this anime even more. This anime also has good direction, great ost and the animation is on point. One word for this anime" FANTASTIC", definitely one of the best romance anime ever.
