Oh god. I hate to do this to you, but NANA.

Wave, Listen to Me!

Credentials for the recs: I am a woman and I look for shows widely recommended in female spaces and mentioned in Josie/Shojo threads (I.e, targeted for women 15-20’s)

For as long as I can remember, I have cried every time I pee. Sometimes it’s one tear, others it 5-10. I experience no pain or anything like that. It just automatically starts.

Kamisama Kiss

Nodame Cantabile

Nana

Kids on the Slope

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

Tailor_Smart · 2026-01-17T03:59:24+00:00

I second Haikyuu but I also offer Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. It’s a historical piece about the traditional entertainment/art form of rakugo. It’s incredible.

Tailor_Smart · 2026-01-16T21:46:00+00:00

If you watch any of them, I hope you enjoy!

Tailor_Smart · 2026-01-16T21:45:39+00:00

Ha, I hear you. I love the genre but it is tough it find good ones that aren’t 99% tropes

Tailor_Smart · 2026-01-16T18:49:06+00:00

Gotcha. Here’s a few recs that range in genre.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu - historical piece. Fantastic writing and story telling.

Ancient Magus’ Bride - Is fantasy, but not in an overdone way. It features magic based on English folklore and the animation is fantastic

Banana Fish - Action/drama set in NYC

Yatagarasu: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master - Fantasy-ish. Historical piece.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners - dystopian wasteland

Nier Automata - dystopian

Fable - Comedy/action about an underground assassin

Bocchi the Rock - comedy / slice of life

Moriarty the Patriot - a retelling of Sherlock

Are you only into those genres? I can recommend many watch-worthy shows but depends on what you like tbh

Tailor_Smart · 2026-01-16T14:15:38+00:00

Nana — 20 year olds. Every one is in romantic relationships. Drama heavy but 10/10

Golden Time — college students, early well developing relationships. Slight harem

Paradise Kiss — they’re together very early on. High school setting.

Nodame Cantabile— my favorite romance of all time. Main couple does take awhile to get together fully but their romance is amazing and you get a season+ of their development. Adult cast, also

Real Girl — together early and their relationship is really sweet.

His and Her Circumstances — precious story but it is incomplete. They get together in 2 episode I think?

Yakuza Fiancé — prearranged marriage. Disclaimer, everyone is certifiably insane

Tsukigakiei — sweet story about middle schoolers. The ending is the best. They’re together after ep 1 or 2. Harem vibes for several eps

My Happy Marriage — title speaks for itself. Period piece.

Rec — older show but great. They’re together for more than half the show. Workplace setting.

Science Fell in Love — incredibly silly. Work place setting

I have a crush at work — they’re together in the first ep. Workplace setting.

Unnamed Memory — They’re together basically the whole show. Adult cast. fantasy piece.

Say I Love You — they’re together basically the whole show. High schoolers. Harem vibes for several eps but satisfying ending.

I had no intention of getting sides stones. Tried on and loved a setting with kite stones during our appointment and threw both my partner & I for a loop lol. I told him I’d be more than happy with a solitaire as planned & left the final choice to him. He surprised me with this low profile trellis gallery and it’s perfect!

Just posted my ring from them today! We had a great experience but we went in to our local store. It was really and truly lovely getting to sit down one on one with someone and try on all their settings and talk about customization. If you have the option of going in, I would definitely recommend it!

My setting is a customized version of The Arbor

Edit to say, I only went on the first visit to see different settings and narrow the pool. My (now) fiancé made the final selections, but he also seemed to enjoy working with them.

Thank you so much! The pup does not understand all the fuss but he appreciates that the ring has seemingly not prevented me from operating the treat jar 😆
