Often, romance anime only last for one season. There's only a handful of romance anime, like From Me To You and Kaguya-Sama: Love is War, that have gotten more seasons. Other beloved romance anime are stuck in season one limbo and deserve another season to adapt their immersive story. Yona of the Dawn is a prime example of a romance anime that wholly deserves another season.

Giving romance anime another season gives the series the proper development it deserves. Sometimes, since many romance anime are locked to one season, their story ends up feeling rushed. Fortunately, some romance anime have had a resurgence, such as From Me To You, getting a third season after a decade. As fans of anime head deeper into the 2020s, the future of romance anime is looking more promising.

In a thrilling turn of events, fans of the beloved anime series “The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten” can finally rejoice as the highly-anticipated second season has been officially confirmed. The first season, which graced our screens during the winter of this year, left fans craving for more with its delightful but all-too-short 12 episodes.

After months of eager anticipation, the long-awaited The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten Season 2 announcement has finally arrived, sending waves of excitement throughout the global fanbase.

The official confirmation came via the anime’s official Twitter account, where a statement read, “TV anime second season production has been greenlit. A teaser visual for the 2nd season drawn by Haneko Sensei has been released. The sweet and passionate love story continues. Please look forward to the next report.”

With this announcement, fans not only received the confirmation they were yearning for but were also treated...

The Winter 2023 season was a slow one for some anime fans. The returning series didn't do much to satisfy longtime fans, nor did many new series draw anyone in. This isn't to say that there was nothing good about the season. It's just that most of it felt tepid and sleepy. This lukewarm winter serves runs in sharp contrast to the following season.

Spring 2023 has been a stellar season for anime fans. It's full of great series, old and new. All of them are exciting, engaging, and leave audiences wanting more. The stimulation this season's anime brings is unlike anything fans have felt in a long time. It generates a brilliant burst of energy that feels like a proper kickoff for the new year.
