\ "Girl, How Long Is Your One Minute" I first watched the flash work "Girl, How Long Is Your One Minute" many years ago. That was the era when flash animations were popular nationwide. During that summer vacation, I watched this classic and beautiful flash work in my dormitory. I had already read the original work before, which was a short novel, and the alteration in the flash version was that the ending added a chance reunion of the two people after being apart for several years, under the clock tower in London, giving the original touching yet regretful story an extra, beautiful conclusion. Someone asked me what I remember about the film "Girl, How Long Is Your One Minute"? I suddenly couldn't recall some of the minor details. Winter evening, the light and shadow frozen in the cold wind gradually fade with the passage of time. What I can remember is not certain scenes, but a period of time: summer evening, lotus shadows overlapping, the long minute when the boy confesses to the girl. "The sky outside is very still, a long wind blows by, in this era of the campus belle and her beauty, I walk silently, without looking back." This is the main character's monologue at the beginning of "Girl, How Long Is Your One Minute," and I like the voiceover saying this in a deep voice. A man's responsibilities and dreams are often hard to reconcile. When facing a choice, he often unhesitatingly chooses responsibility. This is almost irreconcilable. What can we do? What can we do? The only thing we know is that as we stand still, "the sky outside is very still, a long wind blows by." That's all. [Continued] You see anime, but I understand love~

"'Demonic Words'\ 
\ I once saw a piece of dialogue: The girl said, 'Am I really annoying? I'm always so fierce!' The boy said, 'No! Not at all! You seem as hard as a stone on the outside, but actually, you're like an eggshell, fragile at the slightest touch.' I really like it, because out of fear of getting hurt, we choose not to love. But falling in love with someone is involuntary, so we choose to protect ourselves. By repeatedly avoiding, we end up missing out... Life has many helpless moments caused by the fear of being hurt, but please remember: love always exists in our hearts! I look forward to a beautiful ending.

The Frog and the Princess\ 
\ In The Princess and the Frog, there is a firefly that persistently falls in love with a star. Using the language of Dream of the Red Chamber, perhaps it is a fate from the heavens. But in the human world, perhaps nothing holds true. Nor will there be any result. Everyone says I am obsessed, craving what belongs to the heavens. If the firefly does not transform into that star after death, it will be even more impossible to be with its loved one forever. It will still be an ugly, fragile, tiny firefly. Or perhaps just a humble dead little insect. But it is still itself, and no one can stop it from pursuing the only love in its heart.

Arrietty the Borrower\
\ Miyazaki's work, as always, aims to express the larger world through small stories. In the world of the little people, there is no money, no trade; the items they need for daily life must be 'borrowed' from human homes carefully without being discovered. Just as humans 'borrow' resources from nature, humans live by relying on nature, while the little people rely on humans for survival. The little people cannot pay the households they borrow from, and humans cannot pay the nature they borrow from.

"Sky Battle Chronicles" — is it a dream, or an illusion? I arrived in a world. It was on the night I saw off Senior Amano. I saw Ban, and for some reason, I ended up coming to Kaya with him! This strange world. I was very scared and panicked, but I knew I couldn't return to Earth. I thought this was a demon world. The interlude song 'Sora' inside it is really beautiful.
“Futakoi”\ Here, I recommend Futakoi 2. Futakoi 1, to put it plainly, basically uses twins as the selling point and the source of cuteness, and is made into a 13-episode story. Futakoi 2, from the perspective of truly portraying the inner lives of the characters, is excellent. Among so many harem anime, Futakoi 2 can be considered one with deep substance. I wouldn't say it's the best, but it's definitely one of them, no doubt about that. Many of the plot elements are pieced together, using flashbacks, inserted narratives, and even some deliberately unclear explanations, creating a Hitchcock-style vague suspense. Emotionally, there is a kind of a prose-like atmosphere, somewhat present, somewhat absent. Actually, the second generation knows, the twin trees know, and we know too. But only inner monologues, only scenery represents the colors and activities of the heart. This feeling is very stream-of-consciousness. If Futakoi 1 is a delicious cake, Futakoi 2 is a very good cup of bitter tea. For those who don't accept it, they might at first think it's just a cup of tea that looks nice but tastes bad. However, by slowly savoring it, gradually, you'll feel the most delicious part of this cup of tea. Life requires a blend of idealism and realism — idealism satisfies our spirit, and realism enriches our lives. Therefore, Futakoi 1 and Futakoi 2 each give us half of the sky. So, who is it that you really love? It doesn't matter whether you like both or only one. Happiness belongs to yourself. Whichever one you have, you are the one who is happy.
"Gazing at the Night Sky with a Half Moon"\"Gazing at the Night Sky with a Half Moon" was originally a light novel. At the same time, it has been developed to varying degrees in manga, radio drama, animation, and live-action television, showing that although it is very much a pure love story, it remains quite popular in Japan. The reason lies in the fact that although the story is set in a hospital, it does not use the protagonist's illness as a tear-jerking plot device, but merely as a background reason for character development. You won't see much crying and wailing in this work; instead, the focus is on the innocent and lively daily lives of the young characters. In terms of the anime production, in my view, it does not really utilize the advantages that animation should have. Although the characters' personalities are exaggerated, a subtle story like this also requires a certain quality of visuals.
(Recommended) 'That Flower' is an original youth animation that portrays boys and girls during adolescence with a heartfelt touch, showing moments of joy and laughter as well as tears of sadness when facing romance, friendship, and various entanglements.
The production company Aniplex, Japan's Fuji TV, and the animation studio A-1 Pictures launched an original animation project called 'ANOHANA PROJECT' in December 2010. The director, editor, and character designer all come from the core team of the 2008 TV anime 'Toradora!'. Director Tatsuyuki Nagai took on the role of supervisor for an original anime for the first time; he had previously directed works such as 'Toradora!' and 'A Certain Scientific Railgun'. The script was written by Mari Okada, who had previously written scripts for 'Fate/stay night' and 'Black Butler'. Character designer Masayoshi Tanaka was responsible for character design, having previously worked on titles like 'Highschool of the Dead' and 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn!'. The setting is Chichibu City in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, featuring many real locations and buildings in the animation. Synopsis The six childhood friends gradually drift apart after entering high school. The main character, Jinta Yadomi, doesn't interact much with others; Naruko Anjō is somewhat influenced by delinquent tendencies; Atsumu Matsuyuki and Chiriko Tsurumi enter a prestigious high school; Tetsudō Hisakawa gives up high school to travel; and only the girl Meiko Honma remains as she was. One day, Meiko tells Jinta: 'Please help me fulfill a wish.' Although a little hesitant, Jinta agrees to help Meiko achieve her wish. This becomes the catalyst for the scattered friends to come together once again to fulfill Meiko's wish.
"Fruits Basket"\In this world, if there are people who suffer and are hurt, there must also be people who can heal the wounds of others. Believing in others is always better than doubting them. Perhaps, we really can be so kind that people will all seek out their own happiness. I hope that in the days when I am about to say goodbye, I can also smile and say: 'I have come to the conclusion that everything is fine.' Love is too short, and forgetting takes too long. -------------------------------
"A Tale of British Love"\ I don't know how many people have watched it or how many people liked it, but it is the only shoujo work among so many animations nowadays that really caught my interest. Kaoru Mori's original work, as well as the animation, presents a long-missed Victorian England style from the last century—meticulous yet not rigid, rich and tasteful without being pretentious. Combined with Master Liang Bangyan's music, it creates a refreshing, natural, gentle, and serene atmosphere.
As the title suggests, it is a love story, naturally about romance. The male protagonist William and the female protagonist Emma have a love that crosses social status and class.
Occasionally, if I think about it, this love is really incredible. In my view, the adorable noblewoman Ellinoa and William would have been the truly suitable pair, but William is determined to love Emma instead. It's like that famous saying by Mr. Kin: 'Those are all very good, but I just don't like them.'
Honestly, I'm not particularly interested in this theme, but all of Emma's emotions are reserved and restrained, which I find especially pleasing. Perhaps it's because as one grows older each day, having seen more people and things, one's mindset no longer bursts with the intensity of a teenager. I always feel that when it comes to emotions, sometimes silence can be more intoxicating than singing out loud. Unlike many contemporary shoujo manga where love and affection are always boisterously displayed as if worried the other person wouldn't know—of course, that's not bad either, but perhaps it's more suited to carefree children without real-life worries.

Excuse me, Teacher Cang~ May I ask what the ending song of '5 Centimeters per Second' is called? :-D (I think it sounds pretty good)
The Secret of Kells
Pull in this lesser-known anime. It's not mostly about romance. First, let's ignore the plot and soundtrack. Just the simple visuals often draw you in (highly recommended by the author). Let's first take a look at some short reviews from professional film media!
An animation that keeps your eyes glued to the screen, afraid to miss even the smallest detail. — Variety
An amazing animation with rich tones, outstanding light and shadow, almost like an oil painting on the screen. — The Irish Times
Incredibly beautiful, this is the magic of the Celts! — Daily Screen
The Secret of Kells proves that no matter how advanced technology becomes, tradition still has its place. — The Hollywood Reporter
The entire animation uses a hand-drawn mural style, with lots of totems, abstract symbols, and geometric shapes, highly expressive. This feels refreshingly different under the long-term fixed 3D modeling in Hollywood. Actually, I quite like 2D animation, especially hand-drawn animation with strong style and expressiveness, which makes us feel that animation is not just computer images moving frame by frame, but moving works of art.

‘Basilisk'\ The Japanese ninja version of 'Romeo and Juliet'. Iga Oboro and Koga Gennosuke are a pair of lovers. On the eve of their wedding, the 'non-aggression pact' between the two great ninja clans, Iga and Koga, is broken. The two generations-long hostile clans immediately engage in a ten-on-ten ninja battle to the death. As the heirs of their respective families, Gennosuke and Oboro cannot defy fate and face each other with sword in hand.
The Love Story of Shinichi and Ran in 'Detective Conan'\The Love Story of Shinichi and Ran: Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri have been childhood friends since they were young. Their mothers are good sisters, so they have known each other since childhood and played together. They attended the same elementary school, middle school, and high school, all in the same class. Once, Ran and Shinichi went to New York and a lot of things happened, and from that time, she slowly began to develop feelings for Shinichi. Later, when it was discovered that Shinichi had become small again, Dr. Agasa said that under no circumstances should anyone know about this, because if anyone knew, it would be dangerous, and even Ran could not be told. Shinichi took on all the danger, pressure, helplessness, and pain alone for Ran's safety. Enduring the torment of love and time, suppressing endless longing, this is a kind of great, selfless love.
Continuation: Because to Shinichi, Ran is the most important woman in his life, and the tacit understanding between the two of them is something no one else can replace. Shinichi has turned into a child, but his mind is just as sharp, so he can only use this body to bear a love for his beloved that he cannot express, yet is endless. Shinichi is not some otherworldly, Holmes-style reasoning fanatic. No matter how outstanding he is, he is only seventeen, right at the age when one cannot control their feelings for love, yet he is forced to suppress them. The result is that at crucial moments, he often ends up revealing himself, and through various coincidences, he manages to dispel Ran's suspicions, so Shinichi, as Conan, continues to wander in this labyrinth. This is a helpless, deeply emotional love. However, Conan does indeed hold a special place in Ran's heart and can be said to be Shinichi's 'substitute.' In appearance, manners, expressions, and speech, he is remarkably like Shinichi. He is always there to accompany her in her lonely moments, as if he understands everything in her heart, and never hesitates to speak freely. If one says that such a Conan evokes only sibling-like affection in Ran's heart, that would be far too simplistic. This is a vague, inexplicable love.
