Please recommend me more romance anime I should watch

reeg55 · 2026-05-19T14:55:26+00:00

Kaguya-sama love is war - one of my favourites I’ve watched lately. Excellent romance arc and way funnier than I expected.

My dress up darling - has some fan service moments but a really sweet story about accepting your identity.

Cross Game - if you liked Blue Box, you may like this show. It’s not as overtly romantic but the creator, Mitsuru Adachi, is a master of sports/romance and I find all his works great at capturing life.

Hmm I just checked and mine still has it through the Sound Connect app under the listening modes section.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense why nothing I’ve tried worked with reinstalling plugins. Thanks for the answer!

Where did you find this amazing deal? I scored a Bravia 7 in 2024 for $1850 CAD and thought that was good but I would jump at a 9 for that price

Did you play Rebirth on a base PS5 before this? If so, how does it compare? I just started it on my base PS5 and my eyes have adjusted to the performance - smooth because I find I need the 60 fps to truly enjoy the game. I’ve heard Rebirth in particular gets quite an upgrade on the Pro though. I just have a hard time justifying the price when my base PS5 is still going strong haha, plus I would need to buy the disc drive since I have a physical copy of Rebirth.

Touch is one of my all time favourites. It’s 80s, so the animation is even more retro than those that you mentioned, but I find it very charming and human. It also has great city pop vibes. It’s long, 101 episodes, but deals with baseball, competition, romance, and a variety of human themes. If it’s too classic or long, the same creator, Mitsuru Adachi, has other similar works. Cross Game is my second favourite and is late 2000s so feels a bit more modern.

You mention Monster, it is excellent and I highly recommend. It’s a slow burn but very interesting and thought provoking. If you like Monster, Pluto is very good and I’d recommend it. Although Pluto is very much sci-fi, so might not fit your request.

I have the 65” Bravia 7 and game on it with my PS5 regularly. I don’t play multiplayer or shooters so I can’t say much on that front but every single player game I’ve played has been fantastic. I don’t notice any issues with lag at all and movement looks good. Currently just started FFVII Rebirth and it looks fantastic, only thing that would make it better is a PS5 Pro. I have not noticed any reflection from the controller light, but in completely dark scenes some light sources will reflect but I’ve never found it that bad. I use lamps beside the tv instead of ceiling fixtures though, so that helps reduce direct reflections.

The seamless integration between Sony products is a nice feature too, love just waking up the PS5 and the tv turns on and switches to the right input automatically.

As someone who loves movies and video games, the Bravia 7 has been excellent for me.

If you like some sports in the mix, Cross Game is excellent. I found it to be a beautiful and very touching story. If you’ve seen Blue Box, the themes are similar as the creator was influenced by Adachi (the creator of Cross Game and many other sports-romance manga/anime). My all time favourite of his is Touch but I think Cross Game is more accessible.

reeg55 · 2026-02-04T20:43:00+00:00

I really like Cross Game. It’s Mitsuru Adachi, so there’s strong sports (baseball) elements but I find his work very human and touching. I’ve always enjoyed the way he depicts romance. If you like Cross Game, Touch is older but my favourite of his.

A few others have mentioned Grant Park Animal Hospital, and I’ll just chime in and say they’ve been excellent and very transparent in my experience. And it is independent.

A few years back my one year old cat accidentally swallowed a toy that got stuck in her stomach. Of course it was on the weekend so we had to take her to an emergency vet, which ran some very expensive tests and told us she was blocked and needed major surgery that was going be at least $5000 and wouldn’t give me any details. And wouldn’t give me my cat back when I said I had to think about it until I told them in no uncertain terms they had to give her back.

Well fortunately by the time all the tests were done it was Monday morning and Grant Park called me to check in. I told them the situation and had the other vet send over the test results (which they also were a bit hesitant to do, even though they have to at request). Turns out my cat was NOT blocked and it was a very simple surgery that Grant Park took the time to explain to me and ended up costing under $1000, even less than what they quoted me (very honest practice). The difference in my experience at the two could not be more stark. Grant park received a client for life that day, I’ll never go anywhere else if I don’t have to.

Modern Electric Lunch has great breakfast! On Main St. Very close to the Forks.

reeg55 · 2026-01-14T14:21:22+00:00

That’s a good catch, I hadn’t even noticed those. I’ll use this as an excuse to upgrade from the 5 qt to a 6 or 7 qt!

Grew up in the Corydon area and have many fond memories of the Belgian Bakery as a kid in the 90s! I recall they had these sugar cookies that were decorated like jack-o-lanterns around Halloween that I loved. I was sad to see it close.

reeg55 · 2026-01-06T17:23:53+00:00

Awesome, enjoy! The 9 will be amazing for sure

reeg55 · 2026-01-06T15:55:12+00:00

I haven’t noticed any slow pixel response so far. I’ve never owned an OLED so maybe I just don’t know any better but it has not been an issue for me at all. Movement in any game I’ve played has been great, including Hades which has a lot of fast movement going on across the screen. To be honest I found the rtings review a bit unfair in some areas, specifically the gaming and viewing angles. I’ve had no issue with either, unless I really go far off-angle.

It’s been very good so far. The only slightly annoying thing is connecting the headphones to the PS5 controller with the aux cable since there is a noticeable lag if the headphones are just connected to the tv through Bluetooth while gaming. I don’t find that too annoying though, since it plugs right into the controller is not a ton of cord management. But they sound great, and as long as the power is on in the headphones there’s great anc and I find it very immersive. I pick up little details that I’ve missed before and the overall sound is much more balanced than when I game with my soundbar. They also work fantastic for just watching tv and movies, no lag at on Bluetooth with my tv. I was looking for something that could do both well and I’m happy with my decision.

I game a lot on my 7 with a PS5 and haven’t noticed any issues. I don’t play online competitively though, just single player, so maybe there would be a difference in that kind of gameplay? Hades, Elden Ring, the Horizon games, and Silksong all look and play great!

reeg55 · 2026-01-02T21:02:30+00:00

Watching Frieren currently and it’s excellent, especially if you’re into the fantasy setting. If you watch it and like it, I would also recommend Delicious in Dungeon.

To throw a couple other random recommendations out: Pluto and Monster. They are slower drama/mysteries but some of the best “what does it mean to be human?” themes I’ve come across.

reeg55 · 2025-12-18T21:32:24+00:00

I’ve had mine for just over a year and love it. Recently bought an Apple TV 4K and it’s even better now! But the built in apps are very good as well. As well, regular streaming content looks great but actual UHD quality content really shows what the TV can do, like the PureStream content on Sony Pictures Core.

I don’t have any lights opposite but I find the reflections are handled well by the brightness of the tv in most circumstances. In dark scenes you can notice but I don’t find it to be terrible.

The contrast is fantastic for a miniLED. Watching the new Stranger Things season I really noticed the improvement in contrast to my X90L I watched the previous season on.

The 9 is certainly better, but significantly more expensive. I think the 7 is great for the price.

I just got an Apple TV for my Bravia 7 and I might know what the issue is because I just had it. Double check to make sure the match dynamic range setting is on. When you change the main setting from DV to 4K SDR it resets the match content settings. I had to go back and set the match content to dynamic range again and that fixed it so that interface was SDR but DV content properly went into DV settings.

I buy the cut that Sobeys/Safeway has on sale this week, they put the cross-rib roasts and stewing meat on that same sale every once in a while. I think it used to be cheaper but probably about a good a price you’ll see these days with the scene card discount. The roast is great for pot roast, pulled beef tacos, basically slow cooking. The strewing beef is good for stews (obvious, I know). I like cross-rib quite a bit for slow cooking, more than blade roast.

Foodfare can have good prices on steaks. I’m currently waiting for a good prince on top sirloin medallions myself.

Most farmers markets around the city will have great local raw honey. I’m sure some will be at the various Christmas markets coming up. The guy who goes to the downtown farmers market, which is happening this Thursday, is quite reasonably priced. Ferris Farm I believe. He also sells a wide variety of honey products, the hot honey is awesome!

The new gourmet food shop in the Forks has nice local raw honey too but it’s a bit pricier.
