"Ao Haru Ride" and "Orange" are both romance anime, but romance isn't the only plot point that's in the spotlight. Both of these anime do a great job of portraying what it means to lose those you love and how supportive friends can save you from yourself. While the two anime take different approaches in their depiction of depression, "Orange" will by no doubt feel a mix of emotions you never knew could be mixed. You may feel frustrated by decisions that are made, but not everyone makes the right choice because that's what it means to be human. But some choices are made that make you love the characters that tad bit more because they show that there are incredible people in this world who only want what's best for their friends. There aren't many animes where there is so much character depth and development packed into a 12 or 13-episode series, and I don't think there has been a series that I've watched that has made me feel so connected to every character in the cast as much as this one. "Orange" is by no means a perfect anime, but it is so worth watching if you enjoyed "Ao Haru Ride".
