Dusk Maiden of Amnesia https://myanimelist.net/anime/12445/Tasogare_Otome_x_Amnesia Dusk Maiden of Amnesia is a romantic comedy with some mystery and horror type elements mixed in. Teiichi is a member of a paranormal investigation club at his school where they look to find the secret of many of the schools legends (something that like every high school in Japan has apparently) however, the school has a history... one that is going to haunt Teiichi... or more like hug him because its the ghost Yuuko who is hoping the club can find information on how she died. As a romance this is a terrific anime. There is not that much in the way of like relationship push and pull and even the introduction to a love rival doesn't really mean that much, it's more watching a progression of two characters who enjoy each other falling for each other. The only real weird thing is that the girl is a ghost. But the dynamic as well as the story manages to create a lot of different emotions for the viewer depending on the many angles they are taking the scene, and being a show that has such a weird combination of genres it can do this in stride. So it's not the like slow burn type heartthrob love story, but it's still pretty good. As for the story itself it's mainly about uncovering Yuuko's past. It has some other side things too but a big part of the show is not only what they uncover, but their reactions to it. As we learn more about the history of the school and what happened before the show starts to capitalize on its more horror like elements a bit more. It's not a scary show, but one that manages to use atmosphere well to set a mood of like spookiness. But the star of the show is Yuuko. She is a ghost, she's hot, and she's a massive troll. Almost always fun to watch. The rest of the characters kind of blend in to be honest which is the primary reason this anime is not much higher up the list. I say that but this is like number 13 so we're in great territory here. Despite having a somewhat weak first episode (it was a borderline episode 1 drop for me) Dusk Maiden of Amnesia is an excellent show which also has some good production values and among the best female leads on this list. It's a well balanced show that uses its unique genre combinations well. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:888267000] in Kokoro's t...
