Tokimeki Tonight is an animated television series that originally aired from October 7, 1982, to September 22, 1983. The fantasy romantic comedy follows the life of a junior high school girl named Ranze. While Ranze appears to be a typical student, she faces unique complications within her family life. Her father is a vampire and her mother is a werewolf. The central conflict arises because Ranze has not yet manifested any supernatural powers of her own. As a result, her parents become increasingly concerned that she might be a normal human being. The series consists of 34 episodes and was produced by Tatsunoko Production. Hiroshi Sasagawa served as the director for the project, while the character designs were created by Magoichi Takahashi, a pseudonym used by Shinya Takahashi. The show is categorized under the animation, science fiction, and fantasy genres. It remains a notable example of early 1980s anime television programming, focusing on the supernatural elements of Ranze's domestic life and her development as a young girl.
