Just finished The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity. I was so, so happy with how it ended. I started watching it a little concerned about cut corners with its animation, but it stuck the landing so well it exceeded my expectations from the moment I saw its announcement visual.

Summer 2025 is a season to never forget, and I doubt there could be anything like this for a long time.

My top #11, #12, and #13 anime are all romance anime, all liked and loved for different reasons. My personal ranking of these are very close together.

#11: Your Lie in April (Drama) #12: The Dangers in My Heart (MC Chemistry) #13: The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity (Art and Actual Romance)

I hope someday Evan Call, Handa Jukki, and Kuroki Miyuki collaborate together in a single work.
