bro what?

Their chemistry is good, and they're both pretty weird, goofy kids, which makes it even better. Perverted humor, which I really enjoy. Kind of plays to the shota fetish a little bit, they really emphasize the size difference often throughout the show, a little inconsistent.

APolygons2 said:
hmmm... but are the perverted jokes funny?

because there is konosuba or prison school perverted jokes, and then there is "insert generic harem" perverted jokes.

I'm very easy to make laugh, so I'm probably not the best person to ask that XD

I thought his inner monologue along with his going through puberty, made for some funny moments. Plus, there's a trio of boys who are also good fun.

APolygons2 said:
don't worry, I'm also easy to make laugh.


for me the comedy being good, isn't the difference of laughing and not laughing. it's the difference of having whole ass belly laugh for minutes, and just laughing at some jokes every now and then.

I don't know what your personal tastes are, but this is a pretty solid high school romantic comedy.

APolygons2 said:
I like everything that is good.

I have my favourite genres, but there isn't really a particular genre that I dislike....


well, I don't like most episodic shows, but that's not really a genre. 

I guess my question is, what do you mean by solid?

cause from toradora, to your lie in April, there are lots of great romance that I have not seen. so is this like good enough to be worth to be a beloved classic like those, or is it just a solid seasonal romance that will be forgotten by the end of the year?

Is it a must watch? depends tbh. If you liked this type of romance shows (nagatoro, takagi, my dress up darling) where the episode is self contained and constructed of 2 or 3 romance segment then you'll love it. I honestly think this is the best one in term of pure romance compared to its kin. Yamada as the MC really sell the show imo. She really feels like a middle schooler who is shy because she doesnt know how to act after fall in love for the first time but still try somehow show her affection in a really bold and awkward way. That alone makes almost every segment end up being cute and wholesome. Ichikawa, for me, isn't special but compared to other MC from this type of show i would say his development and awareness are probably the best. Their relationship also moves in a really satisfying pace so it doesnt feel like we go in circle at least so far. In short, this is a cute romcom where our MC interects in a really awkward but also cute way that leave you happy after every episode, like almost every episode after episode 3 leave a strong feeling imo. The best way to answer whether you'll like it or not i think is to give the show at least 4/5 episodes and depends on that you'll know the general feeling of the show

I thought nagatoro started pretty good, but then It kinda just became a typical rom com.

like it didn't get worse... I may even say the later parts were a little better, but it mostly let go of what made it "unique". which was the EXTREME level of tease.

dress up darling had a lot of ups and downs imo, but overall I liked it. 

if this is better than both of those, I'm sold.

haykall12 said:
Yup i think in term of pure romance its better, but i actually rated my dress up darling a little bit more because i cant help but appreciate some scene and moment that cloverwork did so well like episode 8. Definitely one of the best this romance this season and probably this year with insomniacs which i think will also explode after its last episode

RobertBobert said:
Toradora is dramedy, Lies in April is a full-fledged romantic drama with elements of tragedy, and this is a school rom-com. These shows are different just at the level of the genre. This show is closer to your typical teenage romance about how a grouchy kid opens up and develops through interaction with a more innocent and open-minded love interest.

APolygons2 said:

I know they aren't the same type of romance, I was just saying does this stand out as one of the best romance shows? or just good by seasonal standards?

APolygons2 said:
I know these are all very different shows, but imma just ask out of curiosity.

my 3 favourite anime in terms of romance, are: beastars, love is war, and fruits basket, does this compare in your opinion?

haykall12 said:
Its really hard to compare it to these shows because, as you said, its a really different show so the closest thing i can compare is kaguya

I dont know why you find the romance in kaguya to be really good but here's my reason why i liked it. The romance in kaguya moves in subtle way and really builds up as the season goes so its satisfying to see how it ends. Not to mention the character writing is good too and in the end ties in to the romance in some way which makes it better.

If you compare the pacing with Bokuyaba, its definitely feels way faster and not subtle, but at a reasonable pace because compared to kaguya, this one has bigger portion for the romance than the comedy. I see that you dont have a big problem with horimiya pacing so this one wont be a problem. The character on the other hand is not that special at this moment imo, but just really really likeable because of their goofiness and the way they act around each other. 

To make it clearer, i dont think the show is the best romance i've seen (i'll probably rate it 8/8.3), but probably one the strongest one in its own type of romance (shows like horimiya, nagatoro, komi san, my dress up darling) and probably wont be something that people remember as the best romance standing with kaguya or fruit basket imo, but definitely one to remember in this year

Best girl. That's that happened.

APolygons2 said:
oh really?

best girl in a season with oshi no ko, the megumin spin off, and skip and loafer is high praise....

I may have to watch it!

APolygons2 said:
I saw this show at the start of the season and it looked like an average romance....

but now it's sitting at an 8.2?

the hell happened?

is it a must watch? or did it just hit a certain niche really well?

For people who have seen both, how does it compare to My Dress Up Darling?

Bisalissy said:
For me, it really was nothing more than an average romcom. If two wholesome characters being lovey-dovey is your thing, you'll like it. If you want anything beyond that, this one doesn't offer that.
I'd even say it's rather bad for a wholesome romance. Due to it's harsh, realistic takes and dirty comedy, it somewhat fails to build up that "fluffy, dreamy aura".

I gave it a 5/10 in the end after having it at 6 for most of it's run. I have no idea why the score shot up like this.

I just want to ask, before I start watching it. Does the rating really lived up to the actual anime? Or is it some kind of falsely score by the users?
