It is the season of love and we celebrate that love in the week of Valentine’s. While it isn’t that this is the only time when love is at its peak. But, it is, sort of, a special occasion that lovers celebrate like a festival.
For us, Otakus, love runs deeper than an average person. It is not a statistic but my hunch is that it is the case. Anime teaches us love that is very different from the mainstream. Do you not agree with this?!
With that in mind, I want to share with you some romance anime that you can watch this valentine’s and understand the kind of love that makes us go beyond what we ever would have. Even if you find some that you have watched already, I am sure that you would love to watch them again. Now, let’s get started!!
Note: I will be adding a bonus anime to the list so make sure to stick to the end.

The list would feel incomplete without this anime. Your Lie in April is a masterpiece that follows the story of Kousei, a piano genius. Kousei had lost his drive to play piano again as he gives it up. But, along the way, he meets Kaori who is another beautiful musician herself. She starts giving life to Kouse’s piano once again. Kousei starts falling for her, but couldn’t do anything as she was dating his friend.
There is no way that you won’t cry after completing this series. It also has a twist at the end that I do not want to spoil here.
