Among the anime works that reached their final episode at the end of June in the spring season of 2026, there are masterpieces that have particularly captured the hearts of fans. Among them, this time I will be featuring 'One Hundred Views of Awashima,' 'The Kusunoki Residence with a Divine Garden,' and 'An Observation Record of My Fiance, a Self-Proclaimed Villainess.' We will focus on three works.
These works have received a great response mainly on SNS due to their topicality and high level of perfection, and although they are of different genres, they have attracted many viewers with elements such as 'healing,' 'emotion,' and 'laughter.' Each story carefully depicts the small kindnesses and hopes found in everyday life, and leaves a warm aftertaste after you've finished reading them.
'One Hundred Views of Awashima' delicately depicts the sparkle and cruelty of youth, and 'The Kusunoki Residence with the Garden of the Gods' portrays the peaceful days weaving together between gods and humans, 'The observation record of a fiancee who calls herself a villainess.' comically depicts the struggles of a beloved heroine. Now that the final episode has arrived, these three are perfect for binge-watching. Let's take a look back at its charm and noteworthy points.
■'An observation record of my fiance, who is a self-proclaimed villainess.' A chain of smiles and kindness that a young lady who aims to become 'Zamaa' will notice
I'm really in trouble. Why is Miss Bhatia, a self-proclaimed villainess, so cute? A young lady who claims to have been reincarnated in the world of 'Otome Games' and the only daughter of the venerable Marquis of Noches family, she is the fiancee of Crown Prince Cecil, the first prince of Alphasta.
Her choices, which seemed to be heading towards 'Zamaa' and were acting in order not to make the people around her unhappy, proceed in an unexpected direction, and before she knew it, the adorable Bhatia's surroundings were filled with the kindness and smiles of the people who were watching over her and the Crown Prince. It's so cute to see Bhatia running around without worrying about the reactions of those around her! Even if you're not Cecil, you won't be able to take your eyes off him.
■'One Hundred Views of Awashima' Aiming for the stage while dealing with pain. A story of an opera school where the light and shadow of youth intersect.
'One Hundred Views of Awashima' is a carefully woven story of the days at the historic Awashima Opera School, which trains all-female opera actresses. An anime adaptation of the popular comic by Takako Shimura produced by Madhouse. Girls from all over the country who dream of being in the spotlight come together, pass the difficult exams, and pass through the gates. Living together in a dormitory and taking tough classes. Relationships with seniors who will be in the same room and time with classmates. The reality that awaits them when they begin chasing their dreams is sometimes kind and sometimes cruel.
■'Kusunoki Residence with God's Garden' The days when the garden of the heart expands, born of the encounter between a lonely young man and the gods.
My heart is excited by the busy daily life of the lively and clean Kusunoki residence where gods and divine beasts live. Minato Kusunoki, who has been able to see ghosts and monsters since childhood, decides to manage an empty house built by a distant relative. As soon as Minato arrives at a dilapidated house that has been empty for two years, the mountain god appears to Minato, who has been unaware of the disturbing signs.
All of the works have a gentleness that goes beyond loneliness and pain, leaving a warm aftertaste in the heart. Now that we are nearing the final episode, I want to revisit these three stories and check the 'warmth' within myself.
