Everyone remembers what it was like to get a crush in junior high; everything was so intense and the feelings always just seemed to sit in the pit of your stomach. Of course, it&#39;s not always easy to be open about those feelings as&nbsp;Kotarou Azumi and&nbsp;Akane Mizuno soon figure out in Tsukigakirei. Despite both of them liking each other, there are still other things to consider in their lives and, since they are in their last year of junior high, the future seems so unclear.&nbsp;

If you&#39;re looking for an innocent slice-of-life romance that will return you to the days of your youth, we&#39;ve compiled a list of recommendations&nbsp;that would make a perfect follow up. Tsuredure&nbsp;Children is a short series, but it conveys a very important message. Filled with young students who can&#39;t seem to get their love life together, each individual episode holds a segment dedicated to the growth of different couples and how they handle different obstacles. There are also the adorable series like My Love Story!! which depicts a young man who isn&#39;t your typical anime love interest. Nonetheless, he finds out that a cute girl has a massive crush on him and the series continues as their relationship&nbsp;blooms.&nbsp;

Each one of these series has enough romance in it to make your heart skip a beat, but we&#39;d like to know which ones you liked the most! Vote up the recommendations for anime like Tsukigakirei&nbsp;to let us know your favorites!&nbsp;

While plenty of&nbsp;anime ends&nbsp;on a happy note, sometimes a series takes&nbsp;your heart and Gundam-blasts&nbsp;it into a million little pieces. A&nbsp;dark ending&nbsp;sometimes works best, especially for&nbsp;a darker show&nbsp;like <a href="https://myanimelist.net/anime/33/Berserk">Berserk</a>, but&nbsp;watching one can still make you cry. Some anime concludes in a way&nbsp;that you never fully recover from it&mdash;spoilers ahead, by the way!

Be honest: there&#39;s a little part of your soul&nbsp;that&#39;s still crying (or laughing, we won&rsquo;t judge) about Light Yagami crawling around on the floor screaming and begging for his life.&nbsp;Nobody&rsquo;s getting over the end of <a href="https://myanimelist.net/anime/2476/School_Days">School Days</a>&mdash;that&nbsp;head is going to haunt your dreams forever.&nbsp;

Vote up the anime with the darkest, most shocking, most miserably messed-up finales that left you running for your copy of My Neighbor Totoro.

What do you suggest to the anime fan who's watched everything? 

Addicted to Anime

Everybody likes anime with good animation, compelling storylines, and well developed characters. But only some anime fans - the hardened, grizzled ones who love things that are horrible - can apprecaite anime so bad they&#39;re good.&nbsp;

Terrible anime that are still fun to watch include the infamous&nbsp;Garzey&#39;s Wing,&nbsp;which sounds like any random isekai but is so poorly done that it&#39;s impossible to take seriously, and the equally well-known&nbsp;School Days,&nbsp;which takes the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-slice-of-life-anime/ranker-anime?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">slice of life school anime</a> formula and turns it into a nightmare. There&#39;s also&nbsp;Brother&#39;s Conflict,&nbsp;a show about a girl with thirteen stepbrothers and a talking squirrell who are all in love with her.&nbsp;

These shows are best watched in a group with a good sense of humor, though they can also be appreciated alone. Which ones do you love to hate?

Furthermore, a train's movement from one destination to another can symbolize a character's own growth, and the tranquility of a train car&nbsp;allows them peace in which to mull over their evolution.Train stations have transfixed&nbsp;anime creators for quite some&nbsp;time, from the space operas of the '70s and&nbsp;'80s like&nbsp;Galaxy Express and Night On The Galactic Railroad to modern &quot;slice of life&quot;&nbsp;classics like Your Lie In April. In fact, train scenes have&nbsp;become such a staple there are even entire photoblogs dedicated purely to the depiction of travel in anime. Coupled with an <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/distinct-art-anime/jonah-dorrance" target="_blank">anime's unique animation style</a>, anime train scenes&nbsp;can be just as engaging, and as emotional, as any combat or death scenes in a series.

Anime with overly emotional characters can be a deal breaker&nbsp;for some&nbsp;viewers.&nbsp;Their overreactions are either pure entertainment or pure irritation. However, anime drama queens can be found in all anime&nbsp;genres, from action and adventure to slice-of-life. Sometimes entire casts can be so emotional that you can't fathom how they even function, and other times it just takes one crazy character to make them all seem a little wacky.The anime on this list have some of the most teary-eyed, over-the-top angry, and even <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-depraved-anime-school-girls/anna-lindwasser">downright insane characters</a> in the history of animation. Most of these antics wouldn’t slide in real life, and would likely elicit looks of horror and confusion. The overly emotional characters and their reactions don’t take away from the series they're in, however, and in many cases they provide the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/funniest-anime-shows/ranker-anime">best comedy</a>.&nbsp;Regardless, it's&nbsp;a trope that doesn’t sit well with everyone. However it sits with you, these series are still worth checking out just to see what all the&nbsp;fuss is all about. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Great Moments in Anime

&quot;WTF&quot;&nbsp;moments are an accepted —&nbsp;and often even anticipated —&nbsp;part of anime. After all, the&nbsp;genre&nbsp;is populated with titles as strange as Reverse Harem or Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, and accepts the feasibility of characters with &quot;naturally&quot; green, blue and pink hair. When watching anime, a&nbsp;certain level&nbsp;of weirdness is part of the appeal.Despite being implicitly irreverent, WTF bad anime endings are totally&nbsp;unacceptable. After a viewer has invested a lot of time and emotion into a series or franchise, the hope is that the narrative arc will come to a satisfying finish. When that doesn't happen, you know there's going to be trouble.&nbsp;Inexplicable anime endings&nbsp;are not necessarily bad, particularly if the rest of the story has presented&nbsp;a whole heap of craziness. After all, if an anime is about mystical card games played on motorbikes in the future, how buttoned-up can the ending possibly be?&nbsp;Even so, weird anime endings can still take people by surprise.&nbsp;Whether the story undergoes a massively&nbsp;unexpected tonal shift, throws a twist in at the very last moment, or just breaks the viewer's hearts into thousands of pieces after convincing them&nbsp;that everything would be just fine, a sloppy&nbsp;ending can sour one's memory of an entire series.&nbsp;Here's a list of some of the most beloved&nbsp;anime that ended on a weird note.&nbsp;

Anime Romances & Relationships

Many&nbsp;anime relationships aren&rsquo;t exactly &quot;normal.&quot;&nbsp;You may have noticed this if you a) watch anime and b) have a working pair of eyes and/or ears. The typical anime romance is usually depicted as a challenging mess of chaotic ups and downs, huge glistening tears, and the occasional inappropriate nosebleed.&nbsp;As extreme as some anime romance titles are, they can still be exciting to watch. However, there are some disturbing anime relationships that feel super creepy and honestly just&nbsp;flat-out unhealthy.

These creepy romantic relationships in anime generally ramp up various situations to a heightened&nbsp;level of drama. These titles often focus on domination, manipulation, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-forbidden-love-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">forbidden love</a>, and lascivious behavior. Still, not every romantic anime title contains these extreme and sometimes disturbing levels of drama. In fact, many of these titles can still be enjoyed for their intricate story lines or delightful artwork. Some, however, are just straight-up icky. You be the judge of what you can handle&nbsp;and what makes you say, &quot;No!&quot;&nbsp;
