Couples define the romance animes they're in. Without a great couple, the series itself really doesn't matter. The best couples in romance anime add everything to their series, allowing worlds to be built around them and characters to shine through their interactions. The best part about couples in romance anime is the freedom they're given to be themselves. No two couples are identical, giving plenty of room for couples with unique dynamics, fun characteristics, and interesting relationships.

While each couple can have different ways they express themselves within their relationships, there is one key trait that a couple needs to be one of the best in romance anime. They need to have good chemistry with each other, and it can be shown in a lot of different ways. Kaguya and Shirogane from Kaguya-sama: Love is War have a different relationship than Hori and Miyamura from Horimiya, but each couple seems...

For fans of romance anime, the shojo genre is filled with plenty of shows and movies to choose from. What makes it great is how it covers a vast variety of themes, from deep, emotional stories to lighthearted and comedic ones. Sometimes, a break is needed from action-packed anime or heart-wrenching, tearful ones, and that's where lighthearted shojo anime shine.

Although they're not immune to emotional scenes, there are plenty of lighthearted shojo anime focusing on romance that will be the perfect mood-lifter. Plenty of them will have viewers laughing over the silliness of the characters or have viewers squealing over how cute the interactions are between the two love interests.

Pink hair is an undying trend found among anime characters, and anime and manga creators alike have been giving their heroines pink hair since Utena Tenjou from Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997), Chibi Usa from Sailor Moon (1992) and perhaps even earlier than that. Colorful hair is a trope so commonplace in anime that it's practically naturally occurring, as well as a big indicator as to which character in a line-up will end up being important.

Many pink-haired fan favorites, just like the beloved yet infamous "white-haired anime boy" archetype, often have a certain craziness to them that is either hidden by their charisma or becomes a part of it as the story progresses. Yuno Gasai, with her relentless love for Yukiteru in Future Diary, is a perfect example of a pink-haired anime maniac. And there are so many more to name that anime fans are sure to recognize anywhere.

Note: This version of Final Fantasy 16 was a special version made for media to experience, and contents may differ from the final version.

Final Fantasy 16 is a big departure for the series, even more than the already divisive Final Fantasy 15 was so many years ago. A heavier focus on smooth, action-focused combat and a full revitalization of the way the game approaches its boss fights are just some of the changes that were clearly on display during a hands-on preview Screen Rant attended. What's clear above all else is that FF16 is unafraid of change; it's a bold, decidedly innovative spin on a formula that's still been preserved with its familiar concepts and characterizations.

Final Fantasy 16 definitely appears to be putting a strong focus on its protagonist, Clive Rosfield. A party of AI-controlled companions will sometimes be available, including his faithful companion, a wolf named Torgal. Otherwise, players focus on...
