However, just because the couple has been engaged and married since the very first episode doesn’t mean viewers can’t indulge in some cute elements of anime romance. There are chance encounters, mysterious backstories, and awkward encounters in shared spaces—and all of them are broken down just as the relationship begins. The relationship still needs to deepen and grow, but you don’t have to wait for the couple to realize their true feelings, secretly confront a love rival, or break up any misunderstandings.

Togawa: Take me to the moon is a perfect example of animated comfort food – the kind of warm, feel-good story that’s perfect for binge-watching over a few cozy nights. juvenile Styled animation with celestial undertones in its more mystical moments, the animation here does an excellent job as a vehicle for a sweet, simple, to-the-point story.
