Magical Sempai

The first mention in our list of high school animes is magical sempai…During the Crunchyroll summer anime season, this brief but wonderful magical anime saw light, being a relatively tiny anime, Magical Sempai only needed 12 mins an episode to showcase the mesmerizing magic that we all love to see on screen time.

Angel Beats

 

Before deciding to free up an afternoon and watch this anime, you will have to forget every single information you have about angels because the angels you’re about to watch in this anime are like nothing you’ve ever seen, they have the looks, the charisma, but definitely not the gentle hearts that you’re used to n fairy tales. The premise of the anime as it that the young Otonashi wakes up in the afterlife after he dies. And before he gets the chance to gather his thoughts and realize what the heck is happening, things go south. A girl that goes by the name Yuri shows up out of the blue and baby steps him into his current situation, he will get to understand that he isn’t only indeed in the afterlife. But also entangles in a war against a god and his henchwomen… This show is a perfect combination of the mesmerizing supernatural aspect and the brilliant storytelling and conversations material, it just can’t get any better than this. On one hand, you have got a story to comprehend as it slowly and gradually unfolds before your eyes, and on the other, you’ve got some bizarre beings showing off their power gradually as well. The character build is excellent. The conversations are out of this world but beware… the ending is as far from being angelic as it can be. Well it is true that this particular anime has some angels in it… but the events will render it as far from angelic as it can be, all we can say is that this is a great Supernatural Anime to binge-watch with some popcorn and a blanket.

After The Rain

 

We meet Akira, a high schooler who loves running tracks, and she does it quite expertly too, one day she fell and injured herself only to be taken care of by her middle-aged boss and his son.

On some levels, this series will turn into a romance between Akira and her boss who and his son offer her unlimited attention and great care in hopes of seeing her run like the wind

again. You might think of this short anime as a romance or a thriller… but all in all, it’s a great watch and a heartwarming showcase of support and compassion.

 

 

Great Teacher Onizuka

 

The fact that this series falls under the fold of old ones means only that it is a timeless classic, and not very usual one too, this time we will step not the shoes of a street gangster named Eikichi Onizuka, a blunt gangster who decides to become a high school teacher so he can have some drama with the ladies. It does sound like a horrible motif and a bad idea to start with, but the one thing that the anime world has taught us is that. Things always go sideways, and the Onizuka version of sideways is that our friend Eikichi will soon become a model for friendship and mentorship as a teacher and a friend to many of his students. Well, let’s not get carried away with this, because our friend will soon be fed up with the strict and blunt rules of the high school so he decides to teach his students his own way, well, will he succeed or not… this is a question you will have to figure out the answer to.

 

A Silent Voice

 

A list of drama anime cannot and will not be complete without mentioning this tear shedder included in it. A silent voice is a realistic drama that deals with bullying without a filter, you will see it just like you see it in real life, although we hope none of our dear viewers or anyone at all find themselves in such a situation.

We initially follow the storyline of a deaf 6th grader named Shoko Nishimiya, she has just moved into the school and her classmate Shota Ishida starts mercilessly bullying her on a daily basis.

Years passed and people changer and here we are left with Shota Ishida as a young adult who was left with an overwhelming amount of guilt that almost teared his soul apart, but he refuses to give up and goes in the pursuit of finding her and apologizing for his disgusting deeds, it is about forgiveness, growing up and changing one’s view about life as the years pass by.. so if you are in the mood for an emotional roller coaster then this anime is definitely the one for ya!

 

Toradora!

 

This one is for those of you who are prepared to crack a couple of laughs! This high school series will start will the storyline of a short, tiny, but tough girl who goes by the name Taiga Aisaka, she has a great reputation as a badass and a butt-kicker, on the other hand, we have Ryuji, a guy who looks even tougher than Taiga Aisaka, but in reality, this dude is as harmless as a lamb and he cannot hurt a fly, our two friends will find themselves in a surprising friendship where they will make an agreement, a win-win agreement where they both have crushes on each other’s friends and will work together to fulfill this rather common and noble goal.

But as we know, in the nine world nothing goes according to plan, and yea, you guessed it! Ryuji and Taiga will come closer and closer until the spark of affection arises and they decide to run away with each other and figure out their own paths together.

 

Tsuredure children

 

This anime is more of a coming-of-age story than romance but the romance is the main plot.

The show focuses on the couples, their struggles, their personal life their, ambitions, and all that stuff. It is mainly about how love can transform a human being and thus we will get to see how it transforms these children. slowly get to mature, to see what it is like to feel love for the first time and what are the obstacles that come along the way.

These are the questions that the anime focuses on, another thing that helps the show be more unique is the cast of characters even though there’s a whole lot of them compared to the normal high school romance anime. Each of them has complex personalities and even you can find someone you can relate to among them.
