Don’t know why the comedy genre is not included in this anime because I think this is one of the best rom-com anime.

Genre: Romantic Comedy, School Life
This anime perfectly shows the importance of fighting in love. When you love someone and argue with them—without violence, of course—it’s not really a fight. Instead, it strengthens the relationship and makes your love even stronger. Sometimes, a little playful clash can bring you closer… just ask these characters!

A hidden gem in the romance genre and one of my personal favorites. This anime shows that love isn’t about appearances—it’s about behavior, kindness, and the way someone treats you.

Fruits Basket is a heartwarming blend of romance, drama, and life lessons. It beautifully shows how kindness and understanding can heal even the deepest wounds.

How They Met: Tohru meets Kyo when she starts living with the Sohma family, unaware of their supernatural curse.
How Things Grew: At first, Kyo is brash and distant, but Tohru’s kindness slowly breaks through his emotional walls. In return, Kyo learns to open his heart and trust her.

Seasons & Episodes: 3 season, 1 and 2 have 25 episodes each, and the third season has 13 episodes.
03. Edward and Winry – Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Genre: Shonen, Adventure, Drama
Sometimes, I actually like it when certain anime stay underrated. When a great anime suddenly becomes popular, people often watch it without knowing what it’s really about or whether it’s their type of show. If they don’t enjoy it right away, they just criticize it. This anime is one of those cases. Many people I know watched it without any idea of the story, got bored, and dropped it—but when they gave it a second chance, they realized it’s a masterpiece.
How They Met: Childhood friends from the same village, Edward and Winry’s bond began long before the events of the series.
How Things Grew: Winry’s skill as an automail mechanic kept Edward moving forward, while Edward’s quiet concern for her showed his deep (if often unspoken) love.
Their Chemistry: Built on shared history, mutual respect, and countless small acts of care, their romance feels natural and deeply rooted.
Seasons & Episodes: 2 seasons, the first has 51 episodes and second has 64 episodes. the
02. Naruto and Hinata – Naruto
Genre: Shonen, Action, Romance
An anime with perfect storytelling and one of the best villains in anime history. The only drawback is that it has more filler episodes than many anime have canon episodes. While the fillers are often enjoyable, they can break the momentum—just when you’re hooked on an intense storyline, suddenly two or three filler episodes appear and shift the focus.
How They Met: Childhood classmates in the Hidden Leaf Village, Hinata quietly admired Naruto’s resilience long before he noticed her.
How Things Grew: Over the years, Hinata’s support never wavered, even when Naruto was oblivious. Her bravery in protecting him during battles made Naruto realize her feelings — and his own.
Their Chemistry: It’s a heartwarming mix of gentle admiration and unshakable loyalty. By the time they marry, it feels like destiny fulfilled.
Seasons & Episodes: 2 seasons, one has 220 episodes and the second has 500 , and many movies
01. Kirito and Asuna – Sword Art Online
Genre: Action, Fantasy, Romance
one of the most immersive virtual worlds in anime history. The only downside is that while the main arcs are fantastic, some side arcs and pacing shifts can pull you away from the intense main story. Just when you’re deeply invested in Kirito’s journey, the narrative sometimes slows down or drifts into less impactful subplots. Still, its world-building, action scenes, and emotional moments make it a must-watch for any anime fan.
How They Met: Kirito and Asuna first crossed paths inside the dangerous virtual reality world of Sword Art Online, where survival depended on teamwork.
How Things Grew: Initially just fellow players, their bond deepened through countless battles and shared close calls. Asuna’s strength and compassion balanced Kirito’s determination and quick thinking, turning mutual respect into deep affection.
Their Chemistry: Their relationship is a blend of trust, support, and equal partnership. Whether fighting a boss or sharing a quiet in-game meal, they feel like two halves of a whole.
Seasons & Episodes: Multiple seasons/ arcs, including II and alicization, and movies
