The graphics can be annoying to watch at first because it’s not too beautiful. That’s why I think this anime is simply beautiful.īesides the relationship part, the only really downside to this anime is its graphics. Everything that happens in this anime really do happen in real life with two people in a relationship. Instead, it shows the hardships- the ups and downs of being in a relationship, which I believe it has done too well. Although the characters are very normal and the plotline is very normal as well, I don’t think the point of this anime is to emphasize on those factors. Like I said before, I don’t think people who haven’t been in relationships before can understand this anime to its fullest. However, this anime, like Kanon, succeeded for half of the episodes. I don’t think there have been many animes that made me cry at all. I’ve been in a couple of relationships before and everything in this anime (except for the dead girlfriend in a car accident part) have happened to me before so I can totally sympathize everything these two have been through from start to finish…
Excluding graphics, this has to be one of the best animes I have ever watched because I, myself, can relate to it.
Still, if you’ve been following Makino and Domyouji’s love story for years now, like me, then you shouldn’t miss out on its anime adaptation.Before I start the actual review, I have to say that my opinion may be very biased when it comes to this anime, Bokura ga Ita. The anime is not the best adaptation for me if I compare it with the Taiwanese, Japanese, and Korean adaptations. It’s a bit disturbing and brutal, with its accompanying background music. The J-drama version starring Jun Matsumoto, Oguri Shun, and Mao Inoue is as morbid as it is compared to the other versions, but wait ’til you see the anime. What separates Hana Yori Dango shoujo anime from its other media versions like the several Asian adaptations, is its overall feel. But in the end, they end up with each other. Yes, the story is embedded in cliches–a rich guy-poor girl in an unforbidden love scenario, with a lot of rollercoaster challenges that tested Makino and Tsukasa’s love. It also produced two movies in Japan in the mid-90s, even before the manga came to an end.
The popular manga spawned in a shoujo anime in 1995, and the most popular Asian dramas of all time: Taiwan’s Meteor Garden, Japan’s Hana Yori Dango, South Korea’s Boys Over Flowers, China’s most recent remake in 2018, and a lesser-known American adaptation called Boys Over Friends.

What started as a manga in the early 90s by Yoko Kamio turned out to be one, if not the most popular Asian story and series of all time. If someone asks me my favorite love story of all time, Hana Yori Dango is at the top 5. The Best Shoujo Romantic Anime Series of All Time Because of that, some audiences would prefer the second lead to the main protagonist. Since these dramas often speak of complicated and forbidden love, the second lead often offers a safe sanctuary to the protagonist. The main marketing factor of series and animes is to have another couple outside of the main protagonist, especially for the more extended series.
Hence, most of the time, the main characters’ love is often intertwined with the people close to them. Like American hit series and drama, these anime can only have a few characters to focus on. Everything is just so thrilling.įriendship is another factor that makes these shoujo rom-com anime charming and exciting at the same time. Unlike in real life, where there’s almost no courtship, shoujo romantic anime builds up an exciting development: characters are either, first, in a hate relationship, forbidden love, secret love, or a prideful conquest. Neither of these female leads is gifted with beauty nor wealth, but noble gentlemen were attracted to their feist, strength, and intelligence.Īpart from the plain Jane-noble man story, audiences are also attracted to the prideful, cute, and challenging courtship that came among the leads of these romantic shoujo anime. While a lot of snobs would condone these types of series, remember that part of it was an influence from classic Western hits such as Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Jane Au sten’s Pride and Prejudice.
