• It all starts with an online conversation

Online dating is the perfect place to find people with similar interests. Dating sites are popular with anime lovers. Alternatively, you could join a site specifically designed to connect you with fellow Studio Ghibli fans.

If you have no luck with these services, social media sites like Facebook offer a variety of recommendation groups to do with anime, art and cinema. Joining these groups allows you to converse with a variety of compatible, potential dates and partners.

• Watch favorite anime or read manga together

It should be easy to come up with stay-at-home dates together – after all, you're both crazy about the same things. Plan to read and review manga together. There are many romantically charged comics to enjoy together, which are perfect for setting the mood.

Showing a passion for something you are interested in is an attractive quality. If you adore a particular anime movie or show, suggest watching it together. Many people love discovering new and cool things. They will appreciate that someone knows them well enough to suggest watching something they have enjoyed. Be a great host with snacks and blankets for comfort - your date will really value your attentiveness and willingness to go above and beyond.

• Attempt to cook at home

If you want to impress your date, you could learn to cook your favorite anime-inspired dish. I'm talking about delicious noodle soups, rice-based dishes, or homemade kimchi. Another option is buying the ingredients and making the meal together. This can be fun, but if it's starting to feel like a chore, turn your cooking session into a food fight and order take-out.

Make sure you have plenty of snacks or appetizers ready in case dinner is taking a little longer than expected.

• Visit an anime convention together

Make plans to go to an anime convention, which is a great way to indulge in your shared fandom. Start planning your costumes together. You could work as a team to design and create your perfect. Add a little intimacy and go as an anime couple or even anime arch-enemies. You can show off your creativity and practical clothes-making skills. If costume construction isn't your forte, you can always order your costume online.

• Go for a picnic, like many anime heroes

Food is a huge part of anime culture. For a really spectacular picnic, imagine the beautiful bento boxes Japanese children take to school. Sushi is a great picnic option, with a wide variety of fish or vegan options to choose from.

Comfort is an important part of any picnic. Take a blanket to place on the ground and snuggle up with your dinner and drinks. If you can drive, consider a foldable picnic table. Most importantly, check the weather forecast.
