While I do enjoy the fast-paced anime shows that are full of giant robots and flashing guns, I have a special love for anime that gives a bit more time to giving its characters space to grow.

Nana. Nana is a fabulous, quiet anime that revolves around two girls, both called Nana, who meet coincidentally and form a strong relationship. Both Nanas are deep characters who are haunted by their past actions—but actions that have made them who they are today.

Peach Girl. This is a sweet anime focusing on Momo, a schoolgirl caught up in a confusing love triangle and a variety of unhealthy friendships. While admittedly fairly light in terms of content, the exploration of the different characters in Momo’s life, and her relationships with them, is quite satisfying.

Death Note. While perhaps best known as a thriller or a mystery, Death Note also manages to bring in some strong characterisation, and you’ll be on the edge of your seat seeing Light and L pit their wits against each other, each trying to find the other’s weakness as Light furtively uses the Death Note to kill the criminal population of Japan, whilst L tries to stop him.

Haibane Renmei. This anime caught me off-guard, to be honest, but its characters drew me in very quickly. The Haibane are a group of angel-like children and teenagers who live as semi-outcasts. The show opens with the birth of a new Haibane, Rakka, and follows her attempts to fit in, while contrasting this with the torment of an older Haibane, Reka, who is haunted by an event experienced in her previous life.

While each of these shows is quite different in subject matter, they all did an impressive job of using their characters—rather than impressive battle scenes—to engage me and keep me watching.
