KokoroAkechi 09/10/17 11:29:12 PM #50:	66. Girlish Number https://myanimelist.net/anime/32607/Giarlish_Number Girlish Number is a slice of life comedy drama. It's a little about voice acting, but more about the story of Chitose Karasuma, a high nosed girl who overestimates her talent. However, as she sees others start to surpass her her reaction and outlook on life starts to change. To start with, Girlish number has one of the best overall character development arcs for a main on this list in Chitose. She still is probably not a "good person" but her growth and change as a character based on others around her and the circumstances is the most compelling part of the show. You go from wishing she'd stay in a ditch to legitimately rooting for her to succeed. The rest of the cast is also reasonably strong, but don't really get the same development emphasis. There is no story really beyond Chitose's change overall. The show has good production values with the art work being strikingly vibrant and the vocal team top knotch. More of a niche title, but one the right audience will really appreciate. 65. My Little Monster https://myanimelist.net/anime/14227/Tonari_no_Kaibutsu-kun When a very smart but socially reserved girl (Shizuku Mizutani) meets a brash delinquent (Haru Yoshida) and the first thing that happens is a type of confession Shuzuku doesn't know how to take it. MLM is a shoujo rom/com that honestly does not really break too much outside of the norm but has a strong level of "things that work together" for the show. The core of the show are the two characters. It's good that they are easily likable for their types. Shizuku is the one that the viewer is supposed to connect with more as she is the more passive and traditionally distant type. This of course is assuming the viewer is female (this is a shoujo) but I'd guess overall she's easily to relate to than Haru who is like someone you look to as almost someone you want to be like in a lot of cases. A big thing about the show is that all the characters are pretty weird in their own right, a little too much so to be normal "chock it up to being teenagers" type but not enough where it becomes like some sort of looney tunes show. Unfortunately the show does have somewhat a lack of romance. There is some there but comedy is clearly the key. The interactions between the characters are very funny and it makes the few romantic moments have a nice mix of being awkward, sweet, and funny. There is a lack of back story and the show is really a lot of "in the moment" type things. I think this is a good show overall. If you're new to the genre this is actually a show I'd suggest you start at as it is not overly bashing your head with a lot of the extreme shoujo feel that others might have. Still more comedy than romance but it has fun characters and a good feel to it. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:886385408] in Kokoro's t...
