If you throw a stone at a random group of people, it will likely hit an anime lover. That’s how widespread they are. It is like they have formed a group of anime lovers, talking about their favourite movies, anime couples, series, characters, completely obsessed. Just like a cult–not literally!
But this craze is justified too, nobody finds it weird, by nobody, it means those who don’t watch anime because somewhere at the back of their mind they agree with the anime lover’s favourite statement ‘just watch it for once, you will get obsessed too’. The language barrier was never a problem for those who are truly in love with anime.
Wide range of genres anime covers
Think of any genre–and you will get a perfectly made anime based on that. From romance to action to suspense to thriller, movie directors grab the genre, eat it up nicely, and produce a film or movie that reflects the genre selected brilliantly. Disappointing their fans was never an option for them, it doesn’t matter if the directors or producers have to work extra hard, they will do it, to release high-quality anime that will leave their fans hanging on to the storyline even after the movie/series ends.
Humans are never stable, especially when it comes to the mood they want to be in, we are just unpredictable creatures who are not sure of the feelings they want to feel at a particular time. Maybe we want to cry a little, maybe we just need an adrenaline rush from suspense or thriller movies, or maybe we want love, in whatever way possible, by watching romantic movies.
No doubt, we take hours deciding on what kind of movies to watch, because they are the deciding factor of the mood we will be in, the whole day. But this uncertain nature of ours was never a problem for the anime makers because they have created the best to best anime in all genres that are available out there.
Anime makers have not left even a single genre out, no matter how rare or unusual it is. So, anime lovers, even if you are not one, can find whatever genre they want to watch in anime, there won’t be any need for you to search somewhere else, anime will provide you with everything you want.

People’s taste in romantic tv-shows and movies comes in all forms.

The characters are written so beautifully, that we won’t, not even for once, feel like the anime couples are not real.

The attraction and interaction between them feel way too real, now we know why. These anime are addictive. Not only romance but in all kinds of genres, the anime is made with only one thing in mind–perfectionism–then getting addicted to them is justified because they feel mysteriously real.
Anime couples
People say the ‘book couples’ are the only best couples–yes, they are, but not counting anime couples is not fair. Watch a romantic anime, and you will know the maximum level of cuteness a couple can achieve. These cute anime couples are the reason why many people still believe in pure romance. Romance is a topic that anime and manga makers will never stop pursuing because it will be a foolish Step if they stop making romantic animes considering how they have millions of fans–in the romance genre alone. Romance is still alive and welcomed with open arms in the anime world.
Ask any anime lover, and they will tell you exactly this–that how they love seeing main characters getting along after starting their bond with fights and misunderstandings but now have become an amazing couple with love stories that amazes them with love, kindness, sweetness, and deep passion. Enemies to lovers–is what people like more and is what anime makers focus on more.

One of the best feelings is snuggling up on the sofa after a long and hard day, drinking your coffee, with some of the best, top-notch romantic anime playing on your tv with equally amazing anime couples and stories that will, for sure, put a smile on your face.
One thing that anime makers closely follow is that they don’t make anime couples actually end up with each other, even though their chemistry is so much that it is oozing out of the screen to our hearts, still, it is a trend or people are liking it, whatever it is, it is a common trope in which couples don’t end up with one another. Whether it be due to the anime cutting off before the manga’s end, like in Ao Haru Ride, or the manga and anime simply ending with the couple continuing their game of cat and mouse, like with The Wallflower, it is quite common for couples in anime and shojo(targetted at teenage female demographic)to not end up with one another.
