Audiences don't love classic shojo just because of the nostalgia factor. While that definitely plays into why some more notorious or madcap titles become cult classics, like Vampire Knight, there are many other shojo classics that still hold up to today. Newer anime audiences and viewers who only watched shonen anime could start these titles and enjoy everything they have to offer.
Classic shojo titles tell diverse stories, from enchanted, intergalactic magical girl journeys to contemporary coming-of-age stories about love and artistry. Some titles, like The Rose of Versailles, set the genre standards for historical anime. Others pushed at the boundaries of gender convention, and still have progressive storytelling merit today.

Yoshino and her new fiance, Kirishima, don't always get along. In fact, they began on fairly bad terms after getting to see Kirishima's true colors. However, Yoshino is determined to get her revenge on her fiance for all the struggles he put her through, no matter how much it ends up costing her.
Yakuza Fiance couldn't thrive without Yoshino's character carrying the action and plot on her shoulders.

Shojo manga and anime are marketed towards a young girl audience. Shojo stories tend to revolve around personal growth, friendship dynamics, and falling in love. Though shojo anime tends to have a certain set of tropes and themes, the stories are still quite varied.
Likewise, slice-of-life anime spans across many subgenres and demographics; it explores the daily lives of interesting characters who are often entering a new world or phase of life. Shojo combined with slice-of-life makes for a great story. Series like Ouran High School Host Club explore the school life and romances of elite students, and stories like My Happy Marriage tell the incremental story of a woman who enters an arranged marriage, slowly recovers from trauma, and falls in love for the first time.

The best enemies-to-lovers anime excel at portraying one of the most beloved tropes among audiences. Not all couples begin with love at first sight any of them feel nothing but anger toward their future partner at first, until becoming closer makes them both realize that theyre more than what they appear.
Enemies-to-lovers stories, more than anything, adore love that's based on intense and passionate feelings and, eventually, fully cemented by deep trust and understanding. In some cases, the couples overcome years of bad blood to be with one another. Sometimes, no one knows you more intimately than your closest enemy.

Whether biological or adopted, many ninja from the new generation seen in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations are children of characters from Naruto that fans have become familiar with over the years. It's become apparent that many of these next-generation ninja will supersede their parents in power, and some may already have, proving strong enough to catch them off guard with their abilities on more than one occasion. In some cases, they've even managed to get one over on their parents, as Kawaki had with his Daikokuten to Naruto and Hinata.
While there is still a fair bit of Bortuo: Naruto Next Generations left to adapt, with the story continuing most recently with the manga, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, it will be quite some time before any further anime adaptation is done given the statements made by Studio Pierrot and Kishimoto on the subject. That said, fans sticking primarily to the...

The uneven Japanese animated fantasy “The Deer King” often resembles the sort of Studio Ghibli action-adventure that made animation figurehead Hayao Miyazaki internationally famous, especially “Princess Mononoke” and “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.” “The Deer King” not only looks like those Studio Ghibli staples, but also follows a plot that recalls Ghibli-style high fantasies: two warring feudal kingdoms try either to capture or enlist Van, a resourceful ex-soldier who may or may not be immune to a devastating plague.
Comparisons between “The Deer King” and Studio Ghibli’s better known movies seem inevitable, especially given how many of this movie’s creators learned their trade as animators and animation directors at Studio Ghibli, particularly co-directors Masashi Ando and Masayuki Miyaji, and key animators Kenichi Konishi and Kenichi Yoshida. Thankfully, what works in so many Ghibli movies also mostly works in “The Deer King,” given the craft and consideration...
