5 Anime Like Golden Time if You’re Looking for Something Similar

Finding love when you have passions on the nerdier side can be difficult unless you happen to know someone with similar hobbies and likes. This is the situation that Narumi and Hirotaka find themselves in when they decide to start dating. Though it starts off awkwardly, it soon grows into something real as the two learn to accept the good and the bad in each other, embracing what makes them who they are in order to help both grow as people.

A rare slice of life series about adults and their relationships, Wotakoi nails the more realistic elements of adult relationships from learning to deal with a partner’s flaws and quirks to communicating what one wants and expects from another person in a relationship. This is made all the better by moments that feel pulled out of real life like juggling a demanding work life with making time for a date night and what to do if you find yourself attracted to someone you’re not in a relationship with. It may not be as reliant on dramatic happenstance as some other shows of its ilk, but that’s exactly what helps it stand as something special.
