    This video is also an Easter Egg (will explain at the end of this comment)
    I could talk on and on about how incredible this series is but I wanted this video to be shorter and concise and follow our main lead primarily. There's so much I decided to cut from this video that I wanted to mention including:
    -Norio Sakurai is the Author and Creator of this series and the anime was made by Shin-Ei Animation
    -During the entire Winter 2024 Anime Season this anime was the ONLY ONE to be at number 1 on Anime Trending and Anime Corner's Weekly Chart which is a feat no other anime has accomplished and by technicality can never be surpassed, only matched
    -There was an exhibit in Japan for Norio Sakurai's work earlier this year. I managed to go to it when I went to Japan earlier and the exhibit was about her life and previous manga but was 90% focused on The Dangers in My Heart. I had an amazing time there and I tried to find a way to fit it into this video but I wanted this one to be focused on primarily Anna and Kyo more than anything else
    -I am still going to say "To Discover the Perfect Anime" in my future videos, this doesn't end my journey or my catch phrase
    -I have MANY more notes, I can make another video on this series if you all are interested in watching me make a sequel, I cut out a LOT of what I originally wrote, this is the longest I spent on a script other than my episode Rankings of Attack on Titan and Re:Zero
    And here's the Easter Egg Reveal:
    The length of this video is the EXACT same length as the season 2 finale of this series ;)

      I thought this series was pretty good, your comment was also great, the only issue I had was the murder fantasy part… like buddy how did you misinterpret feelings of socialization withdrawal as wanting to murder your classmates. And the fact that she didn’t say anything as to why the quiet kid had a box cutter was also kinda weird. Aside from that I got nothing else.

    Interesting fact that nobody knows:
    Anna Yamada is inspired by Rina Mitsuno, who was an Idol, model and actress. She tragically died at the age of 18 due to a lethal arrhythmia (heart failure).
    Rina Mitsuno was highly respected by the author of The dangers in my heart, it is curious how a year after her death in 2017, this manga comes out with the name “The Dangers in my heart” in 2018. title that at first glance can mean the insecurities and the path that the protagonists go through to love and accept themselves, but that can be strongly linked to the cause of death of the idol that the author respected.
    Now, this is not to say that Anna Yamada is the incarnation of Rina Mitsuno, she is just an inspiration for her character who shares practically the same height, her taste for food and a family fact, her father was a Chef, just like Anna's father in the series.
    Whether this is foreshadowing or not, there is a lot of emphasis on the future they will have together, the author has said in several interviews that she inserts herself into ichikawa and in it she puts her constant fear of the passing of time, how unexpected life becomes and her insecurities as a person, I doubt Anna Yamada has such a cruel fate and I don't think it's totally tied to the overall work.

    I found out about this anime by mistake, while bored and just searching on an anime website. When I realized that the anime was brand new, and as I was watching it was still airing, I wasn't expecting a season two, but was announced months after It finished, and I finished it. In fact, when Season 2 was announced, I binge watched season 1 again in one night, A few days before the said released date. I believe that the season 2 ending is the best ending to any anime. After finishing both seasons after they finished airing, I was genuinely thinking on where would I put this anime on my list, and was thinking on if it was better than other favorite anime's, like Attack On Titan. Even after Attack On Titan's episode 69, part 12, section 4 a year ago(as of December 11, 2024), I still believed it was lower than The Dangers In My Heart. This video really settled and cemented Boku No Kokoro No Yaiba Yatsu (I cherish it so much I learned the Japanese name, sue me) as The #1 anime I've watched, that could probably not be topped just yet.

    You truly managed to capture the essence of the show and what makes it so good. To The point of miscommunication, just by treating it within the episode and clearing the air makes this series as of the best romances. Then you put everything on top and you get this masterpiece. I’m truly having problems of which to rank higher, Kaguya or Dangers lol. Anyway, would be amazing a video about the exhibit of the author in Japan and everything else you left out.

    The Dangers in My Heart stands as one of the greatest romance animes of all time, if not the greatest. The compelling story, well-developed characters, and their authentic interactions set it apart. What I think truly elevates it is the exceptional score by Kensuke Ushio, known for his work on Chainsaw Man, Dandadan, and A Silent Voice. His compositions in this series enhance every scene, capturing the nuances of each moment. The opening of season two is also peak.

    I love Bokuyaba, I will always root for Kyotaro and Anna. There are so many subtle details that reinforce the argument of why they are together that it is impressive. The content is vast beyond the manga itself, for example, the author hired an architect to create a blueprint of Kyo and Anna's houses as faithfully as possible and I believe that was content from a special edition volume. Or the dynamic the mangaka tasked the reader with sending Kyo and Anna on a date in different places in Japan with some cards that came in volume 11. Maybe I'm getting off topic but I wanted to mention it because I find it interesting and it shows the love she has for her manga.
