It is perhaps one of the most interesting contradictions of art that its creation brings the highest of joys while also the lowest of lows. To be precise, with the advent of social media and video platforms, the means to create music or films are endless. At the same time, the ways a person can put down someone’s art because he/she does not like or care enough for it have grown as well. Indeed, the way people can be nasty can be measured just by looking at YouTube comments or any forum on Reddit or X. In his feature debut “A Few Moments of Cheers”, director Popreq tells a story of two people trying their best to make art for themselves and for an audience. However, the feature is also about their hardships and what it means to sacrifice for the sake of art and why talent may sometimes not be enough.

What the author said:

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Kamiya responded to an overwhelming number of direct messages from fans seeking clarification.

“Good morning. I woke up to an absurd number of DMs, but it’s just a baseless rumor, so I’d appreciate it if you didn’t contact me about it,” Kamiya posted, putting an end to the frenzy.

Anime is a medium filled with series of every widely known genre, as well as shows that occupy genres not found anywhere else. For fans of fight scenes, this means it isn't hard to find the specific type of action that appeals to them. It also means that those who aren't interested in seeing powerful fighters combat each other still have an abundance of options to choose from.

Popular as battle Shōnen may be, many of the best anime ever don't contain any fights at all. This includes sports anime like Haikyu!!, romance anime like Your Lie in April, slice of life anime like Komi Can't Communicate, and so much more. These 10 anime all stand atop their respective genres, and while some may contain quick scuffles or playfighting, none of them feature a single real fight.
