Top 5 Romance Anime

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone, and to celebrate let’s rank the Top 5 Best Romance Anime! After watching the classic romance anime, Clannad, my perspective of romance anime and romantic fiction completely changed. Before, I had no real interest in the genre, and Clannad showed me how the genre is able to craft brilliantly written and relatable characters and stories. Unlike Hollywood's attempts at romance, which you can read my thoughts in yesterday's post by clicking here, anime's take on the genre focuses more on the characters as individuals with a smaller focus on the relationship itself, but rather the characters and their flaws. There is little "love at first sight" crap, and even if there is, the characters don't just "hookup" after their first meeting. Of course, the genre does feature some of the most frustrating clichés in anime: the "almost kiss/confession" that is broken up by a random distraction. Honestly, I want to hit things when that happens sometimes, and just yesterday I kind of did hit something, but at the same time, my frustration is also a testament to much effective certain anime can be. Also, there is always the lack of conclusion that is becoming all the more common in recent anime. However, when executed well, anime does romance like no other fictional medium, and these five anime are among the best in the genre. 
To qualify for the list, the anime must be a true romance series, which means anime like Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Monogatari, and any number of other anime that feature romance, yet is not as the focus, will not be included.

5: Golden Time
Choosing between Golden Time and Toradora for the number four and five spots was incredibly difficult, and while Golden Time is the anime that is more relatable and impactful for me, Toradora is executed with fewer flaws.
Since I reviewed the series earlier this week, you can just click here to read why you should watch it.
Overall: 9.0/10- Relatable and realistic characters, great comedic timing, and compelling drama/romance, all adds up to Golden Time being a superb example of the romance genre. However, there a few noteworthy flaws, and if you do not relate to the characters, some viewers could see the series as melodramatic.

4: Toradora
After Clannad, Toradora is the high school romcom that every anime fan has at least heard of, and it remains a classic to this day. The series follows Ryūji Takasu and Taiga Aisaka, who each have a crush on each other's best friend, so they decide to help each other, which turns into a surprisingly emotional roller coaster ride with many dramatic twists and turns.
Characterization: 9.5/10- Since Taiga and Ryūji do not like each other that much at first, their relationship is very complex and entertaining to watch unfold, and while Ryūji is a great character, Taiga is the standout of the series.
Taiga Aisaka is the ultimate tsundere; there is no other that can match her tsundere-ness and that is exactly what makes her great. Unlike a lot of current tsunderes, Taiga has the perfect ratio of violent outbursts (tsun) to softer loving moments (dere). Her tsundere-ness is used perfectly as to never become annoying but rather to develop the character, while most modern tsunderes are only there to just beat the crap out of the main protagonist. 
As for the other characters, all of the tropes and archetypes are brilliantly flipped on their head, so as to make you think one thing at first, while actually going in a very smart direction.
Animation: 8.0/10- J.C.Staff's animation is pleasantly consistent for the majority of the series. However, when a scene calls for it, the animation is given a major improvement to look amazing.
Humor: 8.9/10- Of all the anime on this list, Toradora is the funniest. It is not approaching Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun levels of hilarity, but it can be utterly hysterical at times.
Overall: 9.0/10- Filled with plenty of emotion and humor, Toradora is an all around expertly crafted romantic comedy that provides the end all be all of tsundere characters in anime. After Clannad, watch Toradora for a less depressing, yet still emotional, experience.
(A full review coming at some point.)

3: Ef: A Tale of Memories
One of the earlier works from the illustrious studio Shaft, Ef: A Tale of Memories is a romantic psychological mind-bender that revolves around two parallel romantic stories. What sets the series apart from other romance anime is how it portrays the inner struggle and emotions of the characters through symbiotic visuals and poetic dialogue.
Characterization: 9.7/10- The characters in Ef: A Tale of Memories are developed in brilliantly poetic ways. Nothing about the characters is straightforward, and since delving into each one would be massive spoilers, I will discuss the characters in broad terms. With the parallel romantic stories, one focuses on a love-triangle, and unlike most love-triangles, this one is executed superbly. While one of the characters really stands out in a compelling way, the other two are still well developed and interesting in their own way. 
The other storyline centers around a girl with a certain disability, and it is arguably the best, but just barely, of the two stories. The story uses a lot of metaphors to convey the feelings of the characters, and it requires thought to understand them.
Also, the series is very mature in its themes and content, with certain mature things that you rarely see in romance anime, which is refreshing.
Animation: 9.0/10- Being about eight years old, studio Shaft's animation shows its age in the character designs at times. However, the series truly shines in how it uses the visuals to convey the feelings and inner conflict of the characters through metaphors and symbolism. Also, Shaft's trademark stylist editing is still present, albeit much less than anime their later work like Monogatari.
Overall: 9.3/10- Ef: A Tale of Memories is beautifully poetic and often tragic, and while the metaphorical and thought-provoking storytelling might not be everyone's personal taste, it is a refreshing change of pace from a straightforward romantic story.

2: Spice and Wolf
Whether or not Spice and Wolf is a romance anime is possibly debatable, but it makes my list because it stars one of my favorites couples in anime, Holo and Lawrence.
Plot: 9.4/10- The series follows Holo and Lawrence on their journey to take Holo, a wolf harvest deity, back to her homeland, and along their journey, Lawrence tries to make a living as a merchant (for a detailed plot summary, check out my review of the first season here). In a medieval fantasy setting, Spice and Wolf is a lot about the economics of the world, and while that may bore some, it is a fascinating topic for an anime. 
Characterization: 10/10- Holo is literally my favorite anime character ever, or at least favorite female character. Everything from her regal demeanor and stubbornness to her love for apples, Holo is both a fun and deep character, who is shown to be very lonely and wanting companionship. Kraft Lawrence is a generally likable character, and his banter and interaction with Holo is one of the most entertaining aspects of the series.
Acting: 10/10- Spice and Wolf's English dub is one of the best ever produced, and even though I generally prefer the Japanese dub, this one is superior in almost every aspect. Brina Palencia and J. Michael Tatum's chemistry is one of the reasons why their characters are so great, and while the Japanese actors are good, they just don't have the same effect, unless you speak Japanese.
Overall: 9.5/10- With its unique storyline and insanely lovable characters, Spice and Wolf is a personal favorite of mine, and while the series did not receive a proper ending as of yet, it is an anime that everyone should watch at some point.

1: Clannad / Clannad: After Story
Could there be any other? Clannad / Clannad: After Story is not just the best romance anime, it is one of the best anime ever made. Clannad completely changed my outlook on the romance and slice-of-life genres in anime, and it showed me how a work of fiction can actually make me feel something, which almost never happened before. Nearly a year after finishing the series, it is still incredibly difficult to truly express why Clannad and After Story are so effective and heart wrenching, but my experience with the series is truly among the best and most profound that I have ever had with a fictional story.
Overall: 9.9/10- Clannad and Clannad: After Story is among the best fictional works ever told. Even though it is a romance, at its heart, it is truly a story about family, and if you have yet to experience it, you are missing out on one of the crowning achievements of not just anime, but fiction in general.

Top 10 Romance Movies: Part 1

Welcome to J and J Production's Weekend of Romantic Fiction where I will be ranking my favorite Top 10 Romance movies. Instead of the typical list, today's list will rank the ten best films in ten subgenres of romance. To explain, there will be one film in each various subgenres like "Romantic Adventure" or "Romantic Drama" that I consider to be the best in its subgenre, and there are ten different subgenres that I will rank plus a bonus at the end of part two.
To preface this entire weekend of posts, the romance genre is one that is often more miss than hit with me. Of course, I am referring to romance movies that actually try to be good, not those corny chick-flicks that I know I will not enjoy like the Notebook (that’s fine if you enjoy it). For me to care about a romance between two characters, I must first actually like the characters individually to the point where I, as the viewer, want these two characters to be together. Plus, the narrative must provide a compelling reason why the characters start a relationship, because way too many movies have rushed romances. Unfortunately, live-action films rarely succeed in making me care about the characters enough for the romance to work, which often leads to a painfully sappy resolution. However, there are a select few movie romances that work, and often times they are in films where the romance is not the main focus, like Iron Man or The Empire Strikes Back, because the characters are developed as individuals, not in relation to the other character. Of course, there are many anime that completely succeed in all respects, and you can read why anime executes romance better in tomorrow’s post. Now, without further ado, here’s the list.

Fantasy Romance: The Princess Bride
Could there be any other film to top the romantic fantasy genre? The Princess Bride's romance might not be the central focus of the film, but it is a classic that is so much fun to watch!
Plot: 8.6/10- Despite taking 10 to 15 minutes to find its groove, once the characters of characters Inigo Montoya and Fezzik are on screen the movie really picks the pace. Using the narrative device of a story within a story, the Princess Bride is a satire of the fantasy in general, and it most definitely succeeds. While some plot elements are clichéd, the clichés are intentional to produce some very clever humor.
Humor: 8.7/10- While not constantly hilarious, the Princess Bride is a very clever satire and comedy. The movie is able to ride the fine line between corny and cleverly satirical well, with only a few scenes crossing the line. Unlike Mel Brooks’ movies, where the parody goes too far into stupidity, the parody in the Princess Bride is not overly ridiculous most of the time. It is also entirely aware of how absurd and silly it is which works to its advantage. However, at times, the movie is a little too corny for its own good delving into not funny.
Overall: 8.6/10- From the clever comedy to quirky characters, The Princess Bride is a fun storybook like movie that is just generally entertaining to watch, and it is fun for the whole family (for the most part anyway). (Click here for the full review)
Honorable Mentions: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,

Action Romance: Casino Royale
Who would have actually expected a real romance in a James Bond film? Yet Casino Royale certainly delivers the most compelling relationship of the entire franchise, while also delivering possibly the best film in the franchise. 
Characterization: 9.9/10- Casino Royale makes James Bond is real human character for the first time in the franchise. Even though the cheeky wit of the character in previous films is great fun, Casino Royale really dives into what makes him who he is, and a lot of his development is because of his relationship with Vesper Lynd. Bond's relationship with Vesper is surprisingly a central aspect, at least in regards to character development. What transpires with Vesper in the film provides the reason why Bond later becomes so cold hearted and not caring about relationships. 
Action: 9.7/10- Martin Campbell's action direction is extraordinary! He uses a lot of actual stunts, which gives the film a classic feel to the action sequences that is reminiscent of the best action film ever, Raiders of the Lost Ark. From the insane record breaking car flip to the parkour chase sequence, the action sequences in the film are intense, gritty, and thrilling!
Overall: 9.5/10- Casino Royale makes Bond a human character while also delivering one of the best action and spy films ever made. Despite originally disliking the film upon my initial viewing, after furthering viewings, Casino Royale continues to convincement me that it is the best Bond film to date.
Honorable Mentions: True Lies,

Romantic Adventure: The African Queen
One of my first experiences with a Humphrey Bogart film, The African Queen is such a fun adventure film that throws romance and comedy into the mix. 
Plot: 7.8/10- The African Queen takes place during World War I about a Canadian boat captain, Charlie Allnut, at the beginning of WWI in African. Rose Sayer is a passenger aboard Charlie's boat, and they eventually get tangled up in an adventure that leads them to grow closer throughout the film. The plot is rather simple and straightforward, yet effective and well paced, and the romance element is never under or over-played.
Humor: 8.0/10- The film is not the funniest movie ever, but Bogart and Hepburn's great chemistry and banter make for a good many laughs.
Overall: 8.0/10- While not Bogart's best work, The African Queen is one of his most entertaining, and the great banter and African scenery makes the film all the more entertaining.
Honorable Mentions: The Adventures of Robin Hood, Romancing the Stone,

Young Love/Romance: Whisper of the Heart
Adolescent and teen angst in fiction can the most annoying things ever, and the romance genre is often the main culprit for such annoyance. However, Japan can actually make young love, and even angst, surprisingly compelling, and few films demonstrate this better than Whisper of the Heart.
Plot: 8.3/10- Whisper of the Heart's plot is simple yet effective and deep in its own way. It is a coming-of-age story about a 14 year old girl named Shizuku. For those aspiring writers reading this, there will likely be a lot that you can relate to with the film, and while I am not a writer of fiction, as a writer of non-fiction, there was plenty for me to relate to as well. 
Characterization: 9.5/10- While not the most memorable character ever, Shizuku is a very well developed and realistic character. She has real problems, and many aspects of her story seem as though it could actually happen. Seiji, while not given a lot of screen time, is good character for what is required of his character. Whisper of the Heart's romance is subtle and easily the best that I have seen between young characters. Typically, romance with younger characters is corny due to the lack of consequences, and Whisper of the Heart uses the romance to drive the theme of self-discovery.
Overall: 8.7/10- Whisper of the Heart is a criminally underrated film that few have actually seen, but if you are an aspiring writer, or already a writer, this is a film that should appeal to you. (Click here for the full review)
Honorable Mentions: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time,

Shorter Reviews and New List System!

Lately, J and J Productions has been increasingly dull and lacking in quality content, and in the hopes of making the blog more entertaining again, I am introducing two new concepts going forward. The first is shorter reviews. While most current films and classics will continue to receive full in-depth reviews, movies, television series, and other content that either do not require as much content written about them or ones that people are not as interested in, will have shorter reviews. These reviews are still going to be plenty long enough to provide a proper review, but they will be well under the 1000 words of my typical review. To achieve this, I will cut out certain categories that are not important to the overall opinion like the "Good" and "Bad" and other parts that add unnecessary length to the review. Hopefully, this shorter format will make reviewing certain things that I would normally just skip easier, as well as making my reviews faster and more accessible to read. 
On Tuesday, I will be posting a mid-season review of The Flash to test out the concept, and with this concept, hopefully it will mean more movie and TV reviews that you want to read.
My other idea is to change how my lists are structured. Even though ranking the actual lists is one of my favorite things to do, writing why I like each one is difficult, and it takes forever. To fix this, I will write abridged reviews for each film on the list with three or four categories that are the most important to note about a particular film. Using this format will hopefully lead to a more interesting posts, and since I will either be writing mini-reviews or using edited excerpts from my reviews, it will hopefully make the process faster and higher in quality. Also, I might post the lists with fewer rankings per-list, but the posting rate should be more consistent and frequent. I do not want to unnecessarily stretch lists out, but shorter posts with higher quality content will both allow me to continue regularly and make the daily reading faster.

Below is a quick example of the concept (skip if you want to read the list next week). It is from next week's Top 10 Comedies list, and tomorrow's Top 10 Romance Movies: Part 1 will be the first list to test this method. On Friday and Saturday I will also post some lists for Valentine's Day about the Top 10 Romance movies and Top 5 Romance Anime. 

9: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is, hands down, the funniest Christmas movie ever, for at least, and my favorite in the National Lampoon's Vacation series. Also, I considered including Elf on this list, but I am not sure if it is enough of a comedy to be included.
Acting: 8.5/10- Chevy Chase as Clark W. "Sparky" Griswold, Jr., arguably his most iconic role, gives his best performance of the franchise with even a scene or two of surprisingly competent drama, but of course his comedy scenes are the highlight. Randy Quaid returns as Cousin Eddie, and if you have seen any of the Vacation films, you know that he is always the best part!
Humor: 9.4/10- Christmas Vacation is full of the jokes and humor that you come to expect from the franchise. Even though humor lies more in the cleanish lowbrow territory, which is not what I usually enjoy, it makes me laugh, and it is the type of film that is enjoyed most while other watching it with others. 
Overall: 8.1/10- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is the principle of comical Christmas disasters with plenty of humorous Holiday antics.

What do you think of my new plans? Please give me feedback in the comments and check back in the following days for my Weekend of Romance where I will be counting down the best romance stories of all-time with the three upcoming posts.

Spider-Man Officially in Marvel Cinematic Universe

IT'S OFFICIAL! Spider-Man joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe with The Avengers! It is actually happening people! You cannot believe how excited I am right now! I literally gasped and became completely incoherent! Sony will still produce the films, but Spider-Man will appear in an upcoming Marvel film. He might be Captain America: Civil War or, more likely, in any of the other upcoming films. Whether or not Garfield is coming back is not confirmed, but his return seems unlikely. However, I am so freaking excited! We have been waiting for this forever! What we know for certain is that a new Spider-Man film will be released on July 28th, 2017, and Spider-Man will appear in an official MCU film before the film's release. Well, this news is.... Amazing and Spectacular! (sorry, had to do it) So what do you think of the news? Please comment below and check back tomorrow for an update about how the blog is going to change in the future.
And those are the still painful wounds from the horror that is Spider-Man 3.

Golden Time Review

Golden Time, the ultimate series for anyone in college that breaks the mold of the romantic comedy genre, and with Valentine's Day and my upcoming Top 5 Romance Anime list, there seemed like no better time to review this series.
Golden Time follows Banri Tada, a new student at a private law school, tries to rebuild his life after an accident that caused him to suffer from a type of amnesia. Banri’s amnesia causes him to forget everything about his life before the day of the accident, including his friends and family; however, his life is forever changed when he meets Kōko Kaga.
The Good: Avoids most clichés, Flawed and realistic characters, Nearly perfect romance storyline, Well timed humored, Excellent performances, Solid animation, Relatable characters and situations, Lovable characters, Perfectly executed romance, Emotional weight, Characters are not archetypal, Often hilarious, Surprising plot developments, Clever beach episode, Perfect pacing,

The Bad: Supernatural elements are jarring, Troubling second half,
Plot: 8.5/10- Unlike virtually every other romantic comedy anime, Golden Time is set in college, not high school, which is actually something that I can relate to. On the other hand, if you are still in high school, or never went to college, maybe some aspects of the series might not as relatable, but the series’ plot does not revolve around the college setting enough to dissuade potential that are not familiar with the setting.
Setting aside, Golden Time is one of my favorite romance anime since Clannad: After Story, and considering that Clannad is an all-time top ten for me, that is saying a lot. While some the situations are a tad on the melodramatic side, most are actually somewhat similar situations to things that I, or people I know, have experienced, therefore they resonate with me. 
However, the main appeal of the series is how it makes me genuinely care about the characters as the viewer goes on an emotional roller coaster along with the characters. Of course, whether or not you relate to and connect with the characters will determine whether or not you will enjoy the series as much. 
As for the negatives, the main character, Banri Tada suffers from amnesia, and throughout the series his past self with only the memories of before the accident, manifests itself, thus causing confusion and conflict. However, this former Banri is portrayed as an almost ghost type figure when not in control of Banri, who comments on the actions of the post accident Banri. *Possible Spoiler* This "Ghost Banri" is later portrayed to have an almost supernatural power to cause bad luck for Banri, which is very odd considering the realistic nature of the rest of the series. That being said, whether or not "Ghost Banri" is actually a supernatural force is debatable. *End Spoiler* Additionally, the ending, while satisfying for me, can be seen as rushed for some viewer's taste. Also, the series handles a possible “love triangle” very well.

Characterization: 9.5/10- Despite initial first impressions, Golden Time features some of the most realistic, yet strangely likable, characters and character dynamics of any anime that I have seen. Each of the characters has a social problem or past issue, which drives the character’s development.
Banri Tada features some qualities that are uncommon for an anime protagonist. He is actually not completely oblivious nor is he unwilling to tell people, particularly the girl that he thinks he loves, what he thinks. *Minor Episode 4 Spoiler* By episode four or five, Banri confesses to Kōko Kaga, whereas most romcom anime usually end the series with a confession of some sort, and thus leaving the viewer unsatisfied by the end. *End Spoiler* A large portion of the series is actually Banri trying to battle his inner problems caused by the amnesia, while maintaining his relationships with his friends and Kōko. Unfortunately, said aspect is not quite as well executed as it could have been, because he occasionally comes off as a little one note. Despite my praise of Banri’s character, he is not on the same level as other similar protagonists like Tomoya from Clannad.
Kōko Kaga is one of my favorite female anime characters. Despite coming off as an overly perfect rich girl, she develops into a very realistic character with realistic problems. Kōko is first introduced as the obsessive stalker -- wannabe girlfriend -- of Banri's new friend, Mitsuo, and quickly develops into one of the best parts of the series. From her hilarious antics to her cute wanting to be the perfect girlfriend, Kōko is the type of character that the audience grows attached to at the same rate as Banri does. She is a very flawed character, and she tries to change, yet she struggles a lot while attempting to change because she is not always successful. Also, Kōko does not fit any main anime archetype. She displays a few minor traits of a tsundere or a non-violent yandere, yet that is a small aspect of her character. Even though some people might find certain character motivations in the second half unrealistic, and while those aspects are overdramatized, it is something that I have seen happen, so it was believable to me.
Linda is a mysterious character for the first few episodes of the series, and as to not spoiler why she is important; I will stop at saying that she is surprisingly likable with understandable actions considering her situation. Some aspects of the character actually remind me of people that I know.
Mitsuo Yanagisawa, the aforementioned friend of Banri, is a character that seems like an important aspect of the series at first, but is then moved to the side for certain parts of the series. However, he is brought back at the right time, and he is given a satisfying character arc. 
Chinami Oka, at first, seems like just another pointless moe-blob character introduced for the sake of cuteness, but she is even given an effective character arc. 
Nijigen is dubbed "2D-kun" for the fact that he is an Otaku that has humorously given up on women of the third-dimension. 2D-kun is probably the greatest "Third Wheel" of all-time, since he causes no romantic conflict among the group, but rather helps to keep everyone together.
Last, but not least, is Nana. When first seeing Nana, I thought she was a fun cameo/parody due to the striking resemblance to NANA from the popular Josei manga/anime. Surprisingly however, Nana is actually a somewhat important character in the series as Banri's neighbor, who gives important advice to him throughout the series. Also, Nana is just a funny and cool character, and seeing her in Golden Time makes me want to watch the NANA anime.

Acting: 9.9/10- Golden Time's strong performances is one of the key elements that drives the compelling drama throughout the series. Every single performance is nearly perfect. Since Golden Time is a recent release, there is no English dub as of now, although I doubt that any dub could do the series justice.

Art Style: 7.2/10- Golden Time's animation by Studio J.C.Staff is one of its only weaker elements. While very solid and consistent for the majority of the series, it is rarely notable or exceptional. Also, Golden Time is relatively light on fanservice, with the only fanservice-ish elements being like real life, even the "Beach Episode" is not clichéd. 
Soundtrack: 7.5/10- While nothing especially notable, Golden Time's soundtrack is fitting for what the series requires with fun and comical tunes for the lighthearted moments and more dramatic music when the need arises.

Humor: 8.4/10- Despite the, at times, heavy drama, Golden Time can be positively hilarious. When the comedy comes, it hits the mark at the most absurdly hilarious and random times. 
Opening and Ending: 8.7/10- My first impression of the first Opening is that it was nothing special, but it really began to grow to on me as the series progressed. The second opening is particularly noteworthy for being absolutely perfect and filled with emotion that perfectly fits the series second half. Plus, the animation for both openings is excellent, and the endings are solid and mostly fitting.

Entertainment Value: 9.7/10- Well, considering that I literally marathoned the entire 24 episode series in two days, I have to say that the entertainment for me personally is extremely high. That being said, this type of romance is my thing, especially thanks to the college setting.

Overall: 9.0/10- Relatable and realistic characters, great comedic timing, and compelling drama/romance, all adds up to Golden Time being a superb example of the romance genre. However, there a few noteworthy flaws, and if you do not relate to the characters, some viewers could see the series as melodramatic.

Closing comments: If slice-of-life is not your thing, maybe Golden Time is not for you, but after watching countless high school set series, finally seeing something that breaks the mold, while also having great characters, relatable aspects, and filling the void left by Clannad, Golden Time is a new personal favorite of mine, although I am not sure if others will enjoy it as much as I did.
