One-season romance anime to watch with your partner this Valentine’s Day
14.02.2024 - 15:03 / polygon.com
It’s the season of romance — and what better way to spend a cozy evening than binge-watching a romantic anime with your boo?
While long-running series like Fruits Basket or Love is War are absolutely delicious to dig into, they also require a certain level of investment (especially as you grip the edge of your couch on the emotional rollercoaster of highs and lows). Luckily, there are some prime one-season romance anime out there, perfect for one or two evenings of cuddling on the couch.
Where to watch: Prime Video
One of the best parts of this show is that the couple gets together in the first episode. Two childhood friends reconnect when they find themselves working at the same company. After yaoi-fangirl Narumi laments about how her geeky interests are off-putting to potential suitors, gamer Hirotaka proposes that they should just date, since they’re both otaku. Thus begins a very sweet romance interposed with fun nerd culture quirks, like cosplaying, gaming, and conventions. Narumi and Hirotaka strike up a quick friendship with two of their coworkers — who also happen to be major geeks in a relationship. These two have been dating since high school, though, so the juxtaposition of a new couple and a seasoned one is particularly fun.
Where to watch: Crunchyroll
Another workplace romance, The Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague takes place in a world where mythological Japanese beings live and work alongside humans like it’s no big deal. The titular Ice Guy is smitten with his stoic female co-worker, especially since she doesn’t freak out about his ice powers like most people do. It’s a very slow burn (slow… melt?) romance that builds up the friendship between the two characters. Like Wotakoi, part of the fun is the quirky side characters and their own little romances, especially since many of them are also fantastical creatures!
Where to watch: Crunchyroll
Take the basic premise of You’ve Got Mail, but instead of anonymous email penpals, it’s MMORPG guildmates — with some fun gender play as well. Moriko Morioka is a recently out-of-work woman who gets back into MMORPGs, where she plays a dashing male character named Hayashi. She bonds with one of her guildmates, who plays a sweet female character named Lily. The twist is that Lily is actually played by Yuta Sakurai, a businessman who keeps accidentally running into Moriko, before either of them realizes each other’s identities. It’s a sweet romance about connecting in the digital world.
Where to watch: Crunchyroll
This sports anime sure can pack a lot of queer longing in it! Come for the ice skating, stay for the sweet love story between a very anxious professional skater (and winner of our inaugural Who Would Win Week competition) named

Watch the Japanese horror film that inspired Resident Evil for free
There would be no Resident Evil without Sweet Home, the 1989 Japanese horror movie directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, now better known for films like Cure, Pulse, and Creepy. Sweet Home had a huge influence on Capcom’s groundbreaking foray into survival horror, largely in part because the original Resident Evil began development as a remake of a video game based on Sweet Home.

Shashingo, out today, helps you learn Japanese through photography
As someone who's learning Japanese, I crave other methods of language acquisition that don't feel like studying. Textbooks, flashcards, even watching Japanese media can all feel a bit too close to being back in a classroom. Shashingo, a game that helps you learn Japanese through taking cute photos, may be the study companion I've craved. And having covered it two years ago when it was first properly shown off, I'm very happy to see it's finally arriving later today.
