Man, do I love duos. Whether they rely on each other for strength or emotional support, there's just something about it. I eat that shit up! I think my love for this kind of story originated from the impression that Soul Eater left on me. Even if it's not specifically about the power created through the bond between two people, I just love me a story that focuses on a pair that rely on each other. Whether there are superpowers involved or not, nothing beats that dynamic. I haven't come across anything in anime that's done the Soul Eater "my best friend is a weapon" thing as well as it, but a lot of creators have certainly tried! The results can get... weird. In today's review spectacular I present three varying takes on powered-up pairs and three dynamic duos.
When looking over the long list of anime I watched in 2024, I realized how many of them are romantic comedies. What better time to look back at them is there than today? Maybe you'll find something fun to enjoy with your partner, or perhaps you can vicariously live out your harem fantasy. There's sure to be something for everybody... and several for nobody!
