[00:02] don't exist and I'm not letting that slide. White Album 2. The first season is a high school love triangle that actually feels like a love triangle. Three musicians, one club room, and a choice that has no clean answer. No
[00:14] tropes, no comedy beats, nobody's the villain, just three people slowly because that's what these situations actually do in real life. The piano scenes alone will make you put your phone down. His and Her Circumstances.
[00:27] Hideaki Anno directing a rom-com. Yes, the Evangelion guy. Two students who pretend to be perfect to everyone fall for each other and start dropping the act. The opening arc has some of the sharpest dialogue in any romance anime.
[00:41] Fast, funny, and unexpectedly cruel about how people perform versions of halfway through and the show wobbles after that, but the parts he made are honestly some of the best the genre has ever produced. True Tears. This one is
[00:55] quiet. P.A. Works before they were famous, set in a small town in winter. A guy living in the same house as one girl falls for another and the show actually sits with how messy that is. The atmosphere does 90% of the work. Gray
[01:08] where you can hear someone breathing on the other end of a call.
