Topic	Kokoro's top 100 anime of the past five years.
KokoroAkechi 09/08/17 3:18:00 AM #45:	70. Amanchu! https://myanimelist.net/anime/31771/Amanchu Amanchu is an easy going slice of life anime in a sub genre more commonly known as iyashikei (healing). It focuses heavily on aesthetics and simple character goals. It has some comedy and small levels of dramatic elements, but it's clear they are not major focuses. If you've seen shows like Aria you should find plenty of similarities due to overall style as they are directed and created by the same pair. There is not really a story but if anything it's about Futaba as she makes friends and learns to swim. I think that one thing the anime does very well is it establishes point of view. The entire show seems like it's filtered through her. She's not even always the central character, Hikari often steals the spotlight in her scenes, but it's because Futaba herself feels the strength of HIkari's personality herself. The characters themselves are fun to watch. Futaba gets the majority of the development and it often feels like the viewer is meant to grow along with her. Hikari (aka Pikari) acts as like the shows anchor or guide that allows things to come together. There is also a great deal of chibi faces in the anime. If you've seen aria you know what this is, but there are A LOT MORE OF THEM. Amanchu is a simple show. If you want something on almost the exact opposite end of the spectrum of a lot of the big mainstream shows out there this is a decent place to start overall. 69. Nisekoi https://myanimelist.net/anime/18897/Nisekoi Nisekoi or False Love is a romantic comedy. As far as modern ones goes it's one of the more well known shows. Raku has a locket but no key. It was said that his promised girl is the one who holds the key to the locket. However, he has concrete idea on who it might be. This write up is about both seasons and they are very different. The first season is more a classic love triangle romcom. There is a lot of focus on Raku spending time with both of the main girls (Chitoge and Onodera) and trying to inch closer to who the promised girl is. Chitoge is the tsundere and Onodera is the childhood friend. The title comes up as Raku and Chitoge are in a fake relationship to symbolize the peace between the two rival gangs in Japan. Obviously enough they don't like each other at the start. The second season is mainly a comedy. It doesn't progress the story at all and people are going to be upset about that but the I think it's overall a strong season if you no longer consider it to be a romance anymore. As far as the characters go, I think Chitoge's is especially one of the stronger ones in terms of how she's written. While she is clearly a tsundere she shows signs of being a caring person very early on and not in the suddenly become shy or embarrassed copout type ways. While if you've watched one or more of these anime you'll know that she does actually like Raku at a certain point, the show does a good job at establishing the what I think are not reflected in my actions type. I want to say things about Onodera too, but those involve spoilers. The first season is a good rom com, but without the level of closure or ultimately the fleshed out cast that is going to bring it up to a level like Toradora. The second season is an incredible comedy but is going to put off people who wanted closure for season 1 (it's not close to closure). --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:886232205] in Kokoro's t...
