but with the rise in popularity of anime overall, the quality of dubs has improved by leaps and bounds – at least when it comes to English dubs, that is.
we can not talk situation with other localization! As such, we thought it would be a nice gesture to list some of the best dubbed romance anime you can watch today, where both the story and the actual dub are good enough to watch the next time around Valentine’s Day.

Whether you watched the dubbed version or the sub version, your name was a sensation. Mitsuha and Taki are two completely different people living completely different lives – Mitsuha is a girl living in a rural area steeped in tradition.
while Taki is a boy living in a bustling city. When they begin randomly swapping bodies, they gain an understanding of each other’s lives and begin to form a romantic bond.
But that bond is threatened when it is revealed that Mizuha is living in a different timeline from Taki – and in Mizuha’s timeline, a comet has struck her village. The dub cast does a beautiful job of conveying the desperation of their situation and the love they feel for each other.

| Release date: | May 15, 2015 |
| Director: | Kyōhei Ishiguro |
| Music by: | Masaru Yokoyama |

Your Lie in April is a promising dubbed romance anime series. It is about Arima Kousi, a prodigy pianist whose career is derailed by a tragic incident. But soon, it came into contact with a violinist, Kaori Miyazono, who is a free man.
You know what’s the best thing about it – it’s that – Your Lie in April isn’t focused on the romance between Arima and Kaori. In fact, it mainly focuses on their complex personal issues and helps bring those uses closer in a way that feels natural and authentic.

| Release date: | 5 April 2020 |
| Director: | Yoshiyuki Fujiwara |
| Music by: | Kenji Tamai & agehasprings Takaaki Kondō |
| Studio: | Doga Kobo |
Sing “Tomorrow” to Me portrays romance in such a realistic way that it’s incredibly refreshing compared to other anime. It also takes the classic love triangle and goes with it in an unexpected direction at the end of the show.
We won’t spoil it, but the ending is incredibly satisfying and shows how failed romances can sometimes end in strong friendships.
It is also directed by Yoshiyuki Fujiwara, the director of famous anime such as Titan and Sword Art Online. It is amazing to see that he is so skillfully carried over to a show that presents itself quite differently from his other work.
