Kuzu no Honkai

While different in many aspects, these animes both tackle the difficult and sometimes uncomfortable subject of adolescent and young adult romance. Kuzu no Honkai veering more towards the difference between love and lust, sexual awakening, and the pressures put onto young people (by peers and society in general) to be sexually active. it shows the misery and desperation felt by young people when their love life is not going the way they want. This anime has a much more sombre feel to it, and can be very uncomfortable in some scenes. Golden Time tackles the more emotional aspects of young love, which mainly focuses around intense love and mental health (I consider Koko to have Borderline Personality Disorder), as well as insecurity, and pressures from society to have sex. It also tackles amnesia and the difference between childhood love and real love. It has a lighter tone, but still covers some difficult topics, and has sometimes uncomfortable scenes. These are both very hard hitting, intense anime, which require a lot of focus and patience to watch. Some scenes can be hard to watch, and I find both very relateable.

These anime are VASTLY different in many ways, but both carry the theme of amnesia and the fear of the 'old self' taking over from the 'new self', following the time that the amnesia began (this is a really big theme in Golden Time).
