You and I Are Polar Opposites
In the immortal words of Paula Abdul, “Opposites attract”. And no mismatched pair embodies this better than Miyu Suzuki and Yusuke Tani, two high schoolers who couldn’t be more different.

Miyu is cute and cacophonic, while Yusuke is calm and contemplative. That they’re worlds apart in personality doesn’t stop Miyu from wanting to get closer to the reticent boy sitting next to her in class. But every time she reaches out to the cool and quiet Yusuke, she becomes a hot, blubbering mess. Luckily, her feelings are not unrequited, and the duo begin an awkward relationship.

Based on the web manga of the same name, this show wastes no time in getting the odd couple together, with the usual anime tropes of furtive hand-holding, comical misunderstandings, and public confession of love all taking place within the first episode. 

Fans of slice-of-life romcoms like Skip and Loafer will swoon and cringe in equal measure at the crushing embarrassments and anxieties suffered by the hopeless romantics.

Takopi’s Original Sin
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Takopi’s Original Sin’s titular protagonist is about to learn this the hard way. Takopi is a pink, octopus-like extraterrestrial from Happy Planet, and he’s come to Earth to spread love and joy. Armed with cool gadgets to rival those of Doraemon, he sets his sights on a despondent Shizuka Kuze, looking to lift her spirits.

But this isn’t another Lilo & Stitch-esque tale of girl-meets-alien with a happy ending. When the naive Takopi’s attempt to cheer his new friend up results in tragedy, he travels back in time to understand what went wrong, only to realise that some problems can’t be fixed, and not everyone can be saved.

Based on the web manga written and illustrated by Taizan 5, this six-episode anime hits hard with heavy themes — including bullying, child abuse, and infidelity — and devastating emotional moments. Director Shinya Iino, who had worked on the similarly dark Made in Abyss and much lighter-in-tone Dr. STONE, explores the unimaginable cruelty of children (and their parents) and the limits of kindness when it comes from a place of ignorance.

Gintama – Mr. Ginpachi’s Zany Class
Gintama fans, rejoice! If you’re still crying waterfalls after the often-hilarious, occasionally heart-shattering saga wrapped up with its 2021 finale film, you’re in luck. Class is back in session — with a wildly unhinged new spin-off, Mr. Ginpachi’s Zany Class. 

In this alternate reality, eccentric samurai Gintoki Sakata has traded his sword for a chalkboard, becoming Ginpachi-sensei: an exhausted, exasperated high-school teacher in charge of the chaos that is Class 3-Z. His students are characters from Gintama transposed to a school setting: Kagura dreams of becoming a ‘well-endowed’ school idol, Shinpachi is the strait-laced, bespectacled geek, and Ayame Sarutobi reinvents herself as an internet dream-novel writer hopelessly obsessed with Ginpachi. 

The franchise’s signature fourth-wall-smashing self-aware humour is alive and thriving, from blatant Jump Comics (the company that publishes the Gintama comics) product placement to sharp jabs at pop culture misfires like Dragonball Evolution. Whether the class is chasing ghost stories after dark or foiling bank robbers mid-assembly, one thing’s guaranteed: with Ginpachi in charge, there’s never a dull moment.
