KokoroAkechi 09/07/17 2:54:59 AM #42:	74. Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha. https://myanimelist.net/anime/20457/Inari_Konkon_Koi_Iroha Inari Kon Kon is a light romance anime. It features supernatural elements and I'd consider it a feel good type show. It's pretty hard to talk about since one of the primary story points that really makes the show more interesting is a pretty big spoiler. The show itself is about Inari, a girl who has a normal girl crush, but one day she rescues a baby fox who happens to be a spirit. Now she has the power to change form. How will she use her new powers? I say light romance because there are romance elements, but there is not too much depth in it. Like there is not that much relationship grooming, a lot of it is more Inari finding herself. The show can almost be considered to be set of like moral obstacles and lessons that our characters have to overcome. Simple things like friendship, sacrifice, and overcoming fear while being presented with supernatural type twits, can feel very close to home. The characters themselves are a little dramatic. There is a level of melodrama I didn't really expect in this show, but it's limited and kind of makes sense. Characters express emotions at good moments for them. The cast itself is small but a number of them gets decent development, including the mains. Inari herself is a middle school girl and acts like one, there is a definite level of maturity that she gains throughout the show. While not all the characters get such growth, they are not neglected. The real downer of the show is the length. It's only 10 episodes and while it does explore a lot of good things it can't really expand on any of them. Some of the relationships seem like they were not cultivated enough to seem meaningful to the viewer. However, don't let that dissuade you from watching this show more episodes would have just made it even better than it already is. 73. Blue Spring Ride https://myanimelist.net/anime/21995/Ao_Haru_Ride Blue Spring Ride is a romantic comedy of the shoujo variety. It has a simple premise where our two main characters had a mutual, if unsaid, connection towards one each other. Now they reunite a couple of years later, but life and personal choices have drastically changed them. Will they growth close again, or has love come and gone? The show starts more as a comedy but as time goes on it gets more melodramatic. Not for like the sake of it, but more as we learn more about the characters the more the story calls for it. There is a build up to the moment where the show stops being romantic comedy and just becomes one of those dramas you expect your girlfriend to drag you to. I'd complain about this, but this is a fairly common thing that a lot of shows (including one that is going to be very highly ranked) do. Have to finish up the story somehow. The only two characters worth mention are the mains. Futaba was originally a very girly girl, but in typical girl fashion other girls were jealous of her and she was shut out. Now, she changed her look simply in the ability to make new friends. It seems like a dumb anime plot thing, but it's one of several points of realism the show tackles. Kou, originally a nice and friendly kid has become distant and reserved. Part of the show is simply Futaba having to regain the trust of someone who she thought she knew. There is still the typical romance stuff you should expect in an anime. I'd say this is the first show I'd call an actual romance that has appeared on this list. This is a strong entry into the genre so I suggest you give it a go. Like most school romance types all you need is an appreciation for some teen type drama/romance. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:886170351] in Kokoro's t...
