Michiko to Hatchin https://myanimelist.net/images/anime/6/59537.jpg Rating: 4/5 Stars Aired: Fall 2008 Genres: Action, Adventure, Crime, Gangs, Child Protagonist This was really a weird, twisted, and interesting story. Truly original compared to the cookie cutter stuff we get now days. And a throw back to an older art style. Michiko is a fiery fearless convict who just escaped from prison. And Hatchin is the orphan daughter of her former boyfriend/lover. Michiko kidnaps.. I mean "saves" Hatchin from her awful foster family, and they go on a grand adventure through a 3rd world country, looking for her maybe not dead dad, while fighting crime bosses and the cops along the way. Definitely not a family friendly anime.

@meisterman1985 I'm sorry it's tough for you to find a partner man. That's really sucky. I can't imagine having the difficulties you struggle with. Keep your head up. Edit: You can always work on overcoming some of the stuff you listed as best as you can. One of my motivators in the early stages of narcissism was what I had done to my ex wife. She haunted me for years and that haunting pushed me to be a better man and overcome narcissism to get her back. But, she moved on. And, all my work was appreciated by my current gf. I don't know how hard it is for you to breakthrough your limitations because I don't understand what you go through. I just know for me love motivated me to not let the limitations of narcissism and schizophrenia stop my chance at it. Who could of thunk a narcissist can make his partner cry tears of joy.

After recommending it, end up going back and binge watching the first 2 seasons of "Working!!" (Wagnaria!!). Still hilarious.

Oshi no Ko S3 I knew this anime had a fairly dark story line, but dang. They went from pretty lighthearted to pitch black so fast. Talk about an emotional roller coaster. Maybe binge watching it wasn't a good idea. You need the time in between the episodes to emotionally digest it... Sheesh... I need to go watch something soft fluffy and lighthearted just to bring myself back to an even keel

The Case Study of Vanitas, while not strictly a romance show, has very sweet elements to it. Insomniacs After school

Ikoku Nikki (Journal with Witch) Episode 3 when she finally breaks down at school, getting upset with her teachers and friend. They did a really good job portraying the emotion in the scene.

Kimi ni Todoke - From Me To You - Season 3 Episode 3 Ryo’s back story got to me.

Usagi Tsukino in Sailor Moon (៸៸>⩊<៸៸). It came on before DBZ way back in the day on Toonami, so my excuse was that I was simply waiting for DBZ to come on, but I enjoyed it. Also technically the very first anime I ever watched.
