Another epic anime love story is in 'Attack on Titan'. Mikasa and Eren's relationship is complex. Mikasa has a strong, almost obsessive love for Eren. She is willing to do anything to protect him. Their relationship is set against the backdrop of a world in chaos, with the Titans threatening humanity. Their story is full of drama, sacrifice, and a love that is both beautiful and tragic as the story unfolds.
The love story in 'Fruits Basket' between Kyo and Tohru is also epic. Kyo has a curse that makes him transform into a cat, and he has a lot of inner turmoil. Tohru, with her kind heart, gradually breaks down his walls. Their relationship grows as they both heal and learn from each other, and it's set against the backdrop of a story filled with complex characters and deep - seated family issues.
Often, they have complex characters. For example, in 'Your Lie in April', Kousei is not just a boy in love but also a damaged soul trying to find his way back to music. And Kaori is full of mystery and life. Another characteristic is a strong emotional journey. In 'Clannad', Tomoya goes from a carefree boy to a man who deeply understands love and family through his relationship with Nagisa. The storylines usually involve some sort of obstacle or sacrifice. In 'Fruits Basket', Kyo has to overcome his self - loathing and the curse of his family to be with Tohru, which makes their love story all the more epic.
Another is 'Clannad'. This anime shows different love stories, but the main one between Tomoya and Nagisa is truly epic. Their journey together, through the challenges of family, school, and personal growth, is heartwarming. They face many difficulties but their love endures, and it also delves into themes of family and the passage of time.
The real - life love story of John Lennon and Yoko Ono was also quite epic. They were not only lovers but also partners in their fight for peace. Their relationship was a statement, and they were very open about their love. Yoko was a great influence on John, and together they created some amazing art and music that was inspired by their love for each other.
One great underrated anime with an epic story is 'Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic'. It has a richly detailed world filled with different kingdoms, magic, and djinn. The story follows Aladdin, a young and powerful magician, as he travels and meets various characters, each with their own motives and backstories. It has elements of adventure, political intrigue, and a lot of character development that make its story truly epic.
Another great epic love story is that of Tristan and Isolde. Their love was forbidden due to Isolde's betrothal to another. They were brought together by a love potion, but their love was real and passionate. Their relationship was filled with secrecy, longing, and a sense of a love that couldn't be easily quenched, and it has inspired many works of art and literature over the years.
Well, 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks is a very epic love novel. It shows the long - lasting and deep love between Noah and Allie. Their story is full of ups and downs, and the way Noah stays committed to Allie even when she forgets things due to illness is truly heart - touching. Also, 'Outlander' by Diana Gabaldon is an epic love story that combines time - travel and historical elements. The relationship between Claire and Jamie is complex and full of adventure. And don't forget 'Gone with the Wind' by Margaret Mitchell. Scarlett's love for Ashley and Rhett's love for Scarlett make for an epic and complicated love web in the backdrop of the American Civil War.
I think 'A Silent Voice' is quite heart - wrenching. The main character's journey of self - loathing due to his past bullying actions and the deaf girl's struggle with isolation and acceptance make their relationship really difficult. The moments of misunderstanding and the slow process of them trying to understand each other can bring tears to your eyes.
Well, 'Fruits Basket' has a really touching love story. Tohru's relationships with the Sohma family members, especially Kyo, are filled with love, growth, and acceptance. Then there's 'Sailor Moon', where Usagi and Mamoru's love is iconic. It's a story of a princess and her prince, but with a lot of magical girl elements. And 'Spirited Away' also has an underlying love story. Chihiro's relationship with Haku is one of mutual protection and a budding, innocent love.
