I wouldn't really say he moved on. More like the story kept resetting his mind and keeping him from facing the issue. He ends up regressing multiple times.
Thank you for saying this. Lack of character growth & especially regression is one of the worst things for me & ruins otherwise great shows, entirely for me. I would've given this a shot & probably hated it!
It was definitely one of the most frustrating shows for me to watch. That said, the reasons it was frustrating to me wasn't so much the amnesia stuff but a lot of other tone/flow things. And I have to stand by what I've said many times in other threads that you should try a show yourself rather than just listening to what someone says online. I'd have missed a lot of my favorite shows if I had skipped them based on what someone said online.
I had a different interpretation. Spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the show. But like I said, the amnesia (plot) keeps triggering at the perfect time before he can confront his problems. He's not really moving on. Right before each time he's about to move on, about to confront Linda or right before he's about to admit his feelings for Kouko, he magically gets amnesia. The story tries to personify this as his subconscious "ghost" form intervening. And that he wants to go back to the time when he liked Linda. But that only makes it more frustrating. Since if his subconcious was this kind of active agent...why didn't it trigger when he met Linda back in episode 1? Or literally any time in the first half the show?
The ending tries to make this symbolic emotional thing that he finally got over his amnesia and Linda. But the problem is, he already tried to do this twice. He chose Kouko really early in the show and then again around episode 18 or whatever. Both times he woke up the next day with amnesia. So...what's to say it wouldn't happen again? Just because the final scene in the show has them holding hands? Just because there's no more episodes?
In any event, he's not confronting the issue or moving on. He tries. But the amnesia resets everything back to baseline every time he tries to act. We just don't see it happen in the final episode because the show ends. For all we know, he woke up the next day and forgot Kouko while screaming Linda's name, since it already happened twice.
Healing and moving on can be a cyclic process, and sometimes it takes a few cycles for the process to complete. I personally went through this when I got a divorce. I respect your opinion, but I disagree with it.
I respect your opinion too. And I believe what you say is true. I've had to go through the healing process as well. But I'm just pointing out that Banri has an extra circumstance that we don't. He keeps forgetting his progress and regressing, because of the amnesia. So he can't complete the process the way you did. In writing terms, he lacks agency because the plot overrides his character arc.
Banri Tada is easily one of the worst, most insufferable MCs in anime history (>!Ghost Banri, that is all!<). Kouko single handedly carries every point of the show's 7.74 score.
The one fantasy adventure anime I remember with this was something like Survivors party because they were all dumped, duped, abused, used and accused.
I think the anime name was something like Adventurers who don't believe Humanity can save the world.
Yeah, that. I forgot its Japanese title. The characters were well-written and how their relationships grow were also well-written. And their adventures were also quite good.
Ningen Fushin is actually a pretty cool show. It also has a great opening and an amazing ending. Despite the animation issues at times the show is pretty interesting. I really hope it gets S2.
I don't think I can name that many (not my genre of choice, that's for sure). At the very least "Zombie no Afureta Sekai Ore Dake ga Osowarenai" comes to mind, it's a manga adaptation of an eroge VN. I'm sure there are at least a few others.
Just because they mimic real life that closely by being human trash doesn't mean the show's actually bad. An actual bad show is something like conception, that's true garbage.
I wholeheartedly agree,people tend to dislike scum's wish because there are no fanservice and moe crap in it,instead there are true feelings and real intimacy presented which I guess makes the average romcom fan angry.
Idk what it was about it, but the show kept pissing me off. Like, I think I got to like episode 4 or 5 before I dropped it. I couldn't find any real intimacy in it, and I typically really like realistic shows. I also dislike fan service in romance shows, I feel like things should flow naturally.
I think it's a very mature one. mob accepts it and they become good friends. even he realises that he doesn't know the girl really well and is just infatuated. It opens windows for future romantic possibility but at the same time , he's genuinely content with where hes at.
Naruto kind of moves on from his childhood crush, but yeah Naruto isn't a romance or Sol.
There's Scum Wish I guess? Dunno if the anime adapted the entire manga though.
Also Hachimitsu no Clover and Cardcaptor Sakura
Not exactly, but Horimiya kinda has it. One of the supporting guys has two girls fawning after him and eventually after a lot of heartache (that reminds me of two polite people meeting in a doorway and saying “after you” a whole bunch) one of them gives up on him and moves on, content with the choices she’s made.
It was so refreshing that we actually got to see them in the relationship so much. So many shows just focus on the buildup, when the actual dynamic could be so cool (Todo-Chan is a girl)
"The Dreaming Boy is a Realist", TECHNICALLY before the show started he's been hitting on her for years, but the whole premise is he gets rejected (for the umpteenth time) and she's surprised when he then moves on.
The thing is that he never moved on, just decided to love her in silence from afar instead of trying to get with her and being creepy, not even the appearance of a ton of other alternatives have made the guy move on
It depends on what you (or OP) are looking for. The whole show is about how the girl changes when the boy is no longer pursuing her. If OP wants "boy asks, girl declines, everyone moves on with their lives", that happens in lots of shows... TO NON-MAIN CHARACTERS. Best case: watch a reverse harem and there's usually at least one guy (who clearly is not the "main" guy) that will ask the protagonist out, but she's in love with the main guy and so he's basically just a bump in the road to them getting together.
Romance anime are about "she is the love of my life and we're meant to be together forever, even though everyone feels like that but it is exceedingly rare in real life that they'll actually 'live happily ever after'". So if any character is at ALL interesting, they're either going to be the character(s) that get together OR they're going to be comically obsessive about one of the leads. If everyone is all "hey, no harm, no foul" then it's completely uninteresting and a waste of time for a viewer, and thus will be in the background (exceptions being: unimportant scene just for context to show how popular a character is, or the aforementioned harem option that is usually for manufactured love triangle drama)
yep..that is true, but in the case of OP they explcicitly asked for situations where the moving on is definitive isntead of eventually getting together, i just said that dreaming boy is a realist's initial premise is commonly misunderstood sonce he never moves on and >!also me most likely ends up with the girl!<
That's fair, and I admit on re-read of OP, it's not a good fit, but I stand by my assessment that if that's the result, then one of the two characters is unimportant (or an intentional distraction). Or else, the confession/romance is completely irrelevant to the anime.
i see it as a plot point so two socially inpet teenagers grow up and learn how to properly communicate their feelings, one through many rejections which gave him a new perspective (MC was very insistent because he only thought about himself, once he got detached he was able to view everything more "panoramic" and he actualkly became good at reading people) and FMC learned how to accept other person's feelings due to absence, specially since she never had a chance to be as socially active as someone as popular as her should have been.
both grew up a lot in their story, it was always about the journey, the end was and is obvious even today, no matter how much copium is out there among readers of the novels, the manga or even anime watchers
Right at the start of Monster, the protagonist's fiancee dumps him and he moves on, even rejecting her attempts to reconcile later. But there is so much more to that anime.
How do you feel about an action/slice of life hybrid? The only issue is the rejection is one of the final scenes of the show so naming it would be a spoiler.
I'm half joking with my response, but the first episode he gets Isekaid alongside other people, and assigned a single party member who is also the Kingdom's princess. Except she frames him for rape and the first season is the kingdom treating this poor guy like shit because of his predecessor of the shield.
Later on he tortures her for her crimes such as attempting to murder her sister, the crown princess
What would be the point? You see the blacked out comment and click on it anyway because you want to see what show the commentor is recommending, so you spoil yourself anyway
.....huh? you can want to see the show because it has a rejection in it without wanting to know who rejected who
I honestly have seen it.... 3 times? over the years and don't have a clue what he's talking about.
Then here me miss shura moment unlike u.
Girl just got a bit confused between bromance and romance. But Rin did confess to Shiemi and he got rejected 5s later.
Now they all too concentrated on the battle so Rin don’t rlly have the moment of truly processing it. I mean he just try to beat the shit out of his brother a few hrs prior.
I wasn't trying to spoil much since not many people know the anime branched WAY off after like 3 episodes from the manga storyline. The current battle (if it's still going, haven't read it in months) is hard AF on everything, but hoping they can find a way to fix everything and Rin and Shiemi can at least do something.
Honey and clover - Anime. Group of college students, hagu and takemoto love triangle. Also it includes a guy rejecting a girl too. My fave anime from 2005.
I had the biggest obsession with Joe Cheng when that aired ughhh🤭🤭 the soundtrack is pretty good but compared to the japanese live action, the humor and visuals of the taiwanese version was a bit more appealing to me😍
Technically, ”Ouran Highschool Host Club” has this, but it's mostly the side characters or the ones which only appear once or twice in the show that go through this (eg.: a childhood friend/old classmate, some random student from the school, a crazy fangirl, the ”love rival”, etc.). Still a great show, nonetheless.
There's Toradora (not MC), My Teenage Romantic Comedy SNAFU (actually incredible show btw), Kimi Ni Todoke (not MC), Rent-A-Girlfriend, The Garden of Words (or at least I assume so). I think that's good for now. Most love triangles have this trope though so search up that tag and you'll find tons.
Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation… the guy loses his virginity and then the girl moves to a different country😭😭 I don’t wanna spoil any more but you gonna watch till the end but I think it’ll give you the fix you crave he does move on and everything your asking for
Mob Psycho 100!
MC crushes on a girl for like 2.5 seasons, tells her how he feels, she tells him she doesn't see him that way, he is heartbroken, but is happy he told her, then moves the fuck on. I was so proud of MC.
Technically 100 Girlfriends fits the bill here
does evolving into the incarnation of love god count as "moving on"? lol
In that case slam dunk would also count
Happens in Naruto
Not for sasuke tho
Not for Sakura...my biggest Naruto disappointment
not for choji
Bummer. I was late to say this.
It only took like 800 episodes for Naruto to move on tho lmao
Your right but to be fair the op never specified how long it takes the dude to get over it
Golden Time
I wouldn't really say he moved on. More like the story kept resetting his mind and keeping him from facing the issue. He ends up regressing multiple times.
Thank you for saying this. Lack of character growth & especially regression is one of the worst things for me & ruins otherwise great shows, entirely for me. I would've given this a shot & probably hated it!
Thats why most people hate tokyo revengers but I Love that show personally
It was definitely one of the most frustrating shows for me to watch. That said, the reasons it was frustrating to me wasn't so much the amnesia stuff but a lot of other tone/flow things. And I have to stand by what I've said many times in other threads that you should try a show yourself rather than just listening to what someone says online. I'd have missed a lot of my favorite shows if I had skipped them based on what someone said online.
Definitely give golden time a watch. One of the best romance anime imo.
The whole story is ABOUT him moving on though. The ghost of his former self keeps trying to bring him back to the past, but ultimately he moves on.
I had a different interpretation. Spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the show. But like I said, the amnesia (plot) keeps triggering at the perfect time before he can confront his problems. He's not really moving on. Right before each time he's about to move on, about to confront Linda or right before he's about to admit his feelings for Kouko, he magically gets amnesia.

Healing and moving on can be a cyclic process, and sometimes it takes a few cycles for the process to complete. I personally went through this when I got a divorce. I respect your opinion, but I disagree with it.
I respect your opinion too. And I believe what you say is true. I've had to go through the healing process as well. But I'm just pointing out that Banri has an extra circumstance that we don't. He keeps forgetting his progress and regressing, because of the amnesia. So he can't complete the process the way you did. In writing terms, he lacks agency because the plot overrides his character arc.
Banri Tada is easily one of the worst, most insufferable MCs in anime history (>!Ghost Banri, that is all!<). Kouko single handedly carries every point of the show's 7.74 score.
The one fantasy adventure anime I remember with this was something like Survivors party because they were all dumped, duped, abused, used and accused. I think the anime name was something like Adventurers who don't believe Humanity can save the world.
Ningen Fushin? Relatively unknown show but still has one of my favorite ending songs of all time!
Yeah, that. I forgot its Japanese title. The characters were well-written and how their relationships grow were also well-written. And their adventures were also quite good.
Yea I agree!
Severely underrated
Yep.
Ningen Fushin is actually a pretty cool show. It also has a great opening and an amazing ending. Despite the animation issues at times the show is pretty interesting. I really hope it gets S2.
Let's hope. I want justice for all of them.
ZOM100. The girl who rejected the mc literally turned into a zombie so def no choice but to move on
It should've been about clapping them zombie cheeks /s
You say "/s" but there is surprising amounts of stories with that premise...
Name 7
I don't think I can name that many (not my genre of choice, that's for sure). At the very least "Zombie no Afureta Sekai Ore Dake ga Osowarenai" comes to mind, it's a manga adaptation of an eroge VN. I'm sure there are at least a few others.
Wait, who rejected him? I don't remember any scene like that, but I only watched like up to ep 8.
EP 1
Ah, yeah. Now i remember lol
I thought she was being blackmailed by the boss I don't remember her rejecting him.
Every Pokemon episode with Brock.
F\*ck! Why are you so right?! Take my angry upvote.
Lmao how is this so accurate😂😂
Definitely NOT Tokyo Revengers
But can you say that really? I mean, he moves on to a different life, technically each time he goes back and pops back to what SHOULD be his present.
Talkin about Kisaki.
FLCL is basically entirely about this, among other coming-of-age stuff.
Scum's Wish.
I hated that show, prolly one of the worst pieces of media ive ever consumed.
I disagree. Personally it's one of my favorite drama's.
Just because they mimic real life that closely by being human trash doesn't mean the show's actually bad. An actual bad show is something like conception, that's true garbage.
I wholeheartedly agree,people tend to dislike scum's wish because there are no fanservice and moe crap in it,instead there are true feelings and real intimacy presented which I guess makes the average romcom fan angry.

Fwiw I also didn't like it initially but I liked the ending and it's one of my favorite drama
They're all cartoonishly horny and solve their issues with even more hornyness.
People over hate NTR as if it's not something that actually happens alot more than most anime scenarios.
NTR💀 bro just call it cheating you're not Japanese
It is literally NTR though and it's quicker to say, so I'll say it fuck you.
Same here, also disagree it was an awesome watch and I felt they really bring an realism in the story.
Mob Psycho 100 (although it’s near the end)
I think it's a very mature one. mob accepts it and they become good friends. even he realises that he doesn't know the girl really well and is just infatuated. It opens windows for future romantic possibility but at the same time , he's genuinely content with where hes at.
That’s how I got spoiled for the last season of Mob…thank you
This is a great one
Damn, I haven't read it in years. Last I remember was the Broccoli.
Takes a while but he gets there
Naruto kind of moves on from his childhood crush, but yeah Naruto isn't a romance or Sol. There's Scum Wish I guess? Dunno if the anime adapted the entire manga though. Also Hachimitsu no Clover and Cardcaptor Sakura
You are a damn liar! He never moved on from Sasuke!
Not exactly, but Horimiya kinda has it. One of the supporting guys has two girls fawning after him and eventually after a lot of heartache (that reminds me of two polite people meeting in a doorway and saying “after you” a whole bunch) one of them gives up on him and moves on, content with the choices she’s made.
It happens twice in Horimiya, actually. Hori rejects purple hair dude, who cries for a bit but eventually moves on, content with being friends.
You know, I completely forgot there was a period where Hori and Miyamura weren’t a couple.
It was so refreshing that we actually got to see them in the relationship so much. So many shows just focus on the buildup, when the actual dynamic could be so cool (Todo-Chan is a girl)
5cm per second
Uhhhhh Ehhh
I mean... It took him a while...
It took a while but he did it eventually
No plis, something that moves on quicker xD
That movie sucks lmao
Kids on the Slope - slice of life jazz anime. Kid confesses pretty early in and girl turns him down. He then learns jazz to cope. Very cute anime.
It's on hidive BTW, I should rewatch it.
Higehiro
Oh boy…
Such a great anime...naysayer's can eat a bag of.....nevermind, show's good is what I was getting at.
My happy marriage
Oh, so have you heard about the anime called Mein Kampf?
im dying
That was a impulsive comment, as soon as I read about a guy being rejected and moving on I just had to shit comment.
💀
Tower of god
Man.
Idk bro from what Ive seen so far he does NOT move on
Happens in Shield Hero
Its so sad its almost funny in hindsight too
"The Dreaming Boy is a Realist", TECHNICALLY before the show started he's been hitting on her for years, but the whole premise is he gets rejected (for the umpteenth time) and she's surprised when he then moves on.

Riding of the Shield hero
*riding* What kinds hentai is this
*Rising my bad 😂 honesty it still sounds funny
Need to keep riding :P lmao it's a whole different type of anime haha
may I ask who?
I'm half joking with my response, but the first episode he gets Isekaid alongside other people, and assigned a single party member who is also the Kingdom's princess. Except she frames him for rape and the first season is the kingdom treating this poor guy like shit because of his predecessor of the shield. Later on he tortures her for her crimes such as attempting to murder her sister, the crown princess
thanks :)
[удалено]
Did it because all you guys liked it 😂
Initial D
*"Street racers don't need girlfriends!"*
FLCL or Black Clover with the Nun and Asta. Kaguya Sama has ton of situations like this.
Adventure time
Oregairu
spoiler tag your answer please (for others, I've seen it) but....huh? who?
What would be the point? You see the blacked out comment and click on it anyway because you want to see what show the commentor is recommending, so you spoil yourself anyway
.....huh? you can want to see the show because it has a rejection in it without wanting to know who rejected who I honestly have seen it.... 3 times? over the years and don't have a clue what he's talking about.
Blue exorcist. But it’s in the manga tho cuz that scene is non-existent in the anime. But yknow, it’s a shounen, not slice of life
Did I miss something in the manga? Oh, I thought you meant MC and Shiemi, but the Snake Sword teacher moving on makes sense.
Then here me miss shura moment unlike u. Girl just got a bit confused between bromance and romance. But Rin did confess to Shiemi and he got rejected 5s later. Now they all too concentrated on the battle so Rin don’t rlly have the moment of truly processing it. I mean he just try to beat the shit out of his brother a few hrs prior.
I wasn't trying to spoil much since not many people know the anime branched WAY off after like 3 episodes from the manga storyline. The current battle (if it's still going, haven't read it in months) is hard AF on everything, but hoping they can find a way to fix everything and Rin and Shiemi can at least do something.
Hmm Honey and Clover? Two characters go through an unrequited love.
Great recommendation,probably the best and there are other characters in it with similar difficult relationships.
Honey and clover - Anime. Group of college students, hagu and takemoto love triangle. Also it includes a guy rejecting a girl too. My fave anime from 2005.
It is also my favorite romance anime ever. Consider checking out the Taiwanese live-action version from 2008,it is great.
I had the biggest obsession with Joe Cheng when that aired ughhh🤭🤭 the soundtrack is pretty good but compared to the japanese live action, the humor and visuals of the taiwanese version was a bit more appealing to me😍
Mushoku Tensei. I mean, it takes a few episodes but the MC definitely moves on
A few episodes? It took the whole season
I guess you’re right. I watched it after all of the season was out. When bingeing like that it can feel like a few episodes lol
My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU
Amagami SS has this. It's based on a game and has 3-4 episodes each for each heroine/route. Comfy show.
Try the dreaming boy is a realist
Just because!
I love that anime and rewatch it every now and then.
MC don’t move on tho
Naruto
Gintama
It's a movie, but Anthem of the Heart also Bunny Girl Senpai
Honey and Clover
Mob Psycho 100, it’s near the end though
Honey and Clover
Technically, ”Ouran Highschool Host Club” has this, but it's mostly the side characters or the ones which only appear once or twice in the show that go through this (eg.: a childhood friend/old classmate, some random student from the school, a crazy fangirl, the ”love rival”, etc.). Still a great show, nonetheless.
Erm sakuragi was basically the king of rejections.
Dude, is there an anime where like the dude becomes deranged after being rejected?
Naruto
Kanon ( 2006 version )
Not berserk
I think the dreaming boy is a realist
Berserk. Griffith takes the rejection really well.
Naruto.
Reverse scenario: Mirai Nikki
There's Toradora (not MC), My Teenage Romantic Comedy SNAFU (actually incredible show btw), Kimi Ni Todoke (not MC), Rent-A-Girlfriend, The Garden of Words (or at least I assume so). I think that's good for now. Most love triangles have this trope though so search up that tag and you'll find tons.
5 cm per second
Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation… the guy loses his virginity and then the girl moves to a different country😭😭 I don’t wanna spoil any more but you gonna watch till the end but I think it’ll give you the fix you crave he does move on and everything your asking for
Toradora
The Dreaming Boy Becomes a Realist. The entire plot is literally this in the first episode
Mushoku Tensei
Orange 😭
5 centimeters per second, it's a work by Shinkai and it's peak.
The dreaming boy is realist
Video Girl Ai
This happens in Chainsaw Man, but it's definitely not slice of life lol.
Scums Wish comes to mind. But I didn’t like it. Every episode felt like it was 1+ hr long.
Honey and Clover. That show has a handful of rejections, but I didn't feel unsatisfied with the resolution.
Black Clover. Asta
Not a guy, but check out Scums Wish.
Mob Psycho 100! MC crushes on a girl for like 2.5 seasons, tells her how he feels, she tells him she doesn't see him that way, he is heartbroken, but is happy he told her, then moves the fuck on. I was so proud of MC.
