This is by far the worst romance anime...i wouldn't even call this romance like wtf he falls in love like this? thats just stupid what was the creator thinking?
Girl said fall for me and he falls for her like 20 min later out of nowhere.
I was expecting good things but literally the first ep was disappointing

Watching Katanagatari for the romance is like watching Naruto Shippuden for Shino episodes. They exist, but the primary focus is more so the shounen elements and the journey. If all you are looking for in Katanagatari is romance I definitely reccomend just picking up a different anime, but if you like the story concept the journey is pretty interesting.

I don't feel like any of you understand why Katanagatari is actually a romance. It isn't that he falls for her immediately. It is that he doesn't understand what love means at the start and how he progressively starts to learn that feeling over time. Does no one get that the whole journey is about humanizing him as a character through his interactions with Togame including figuring out what love actually means. (which again he has no idea what it actually means in the start) I would personally consider it one of the better romance anime I have met because it handles it quite differently from most romance anime.

Romance isnt the main focus of the anime. Either way, the romance is actually pretty considering their personalities. You nincompoop!

You nailed it champ! I felt the same way with Blue Exorcist. And let me tell you something about Blue Exorcist, its by far the worst romance anime...I wouldn't even call this romance like wtf he....oh wait.....


Have you finished watching this show yet? Just curious, cause I’m currently slowly progressing through it like I’m treating fine wine.

Btw, I never started it for the romance at all, but for how much it’s reminding me of the Monogatari series....even though it doesn’t seem to be labeled by SHAFT.

I was being sarcastic. OP used to have a Blue Exorcist forum avatar. Just doing a meme on his words and critique.


Ahhh ok. Do you plan to watch this show at some point, though?

It's not surprising that it reminds you of the Monogatari series. It's the same author after all.

I can agree that the lovestory isn't very good in this one, but I've seen lot much worse.
It is there, it does have development and culmination, it is logical and there's some boobs and enough panties.
So definitely very far from being worse.

I had no problem getting this.
Still not very good though.
Far from worse double-though.

We need to acknowledge that Shichika initially lacks all the common sense. However, as a sword, he admires honor and seeing someone dropping all her pride and possibly her life in order to fulfill her goal, moves him. It was Shichika father that completely ruined Togomi life after all.

So for Shichika initially, saying he "fell for her" means he respect her resolute.
I wouldn't call it love, nor even close to romance.

We got abit of development, but nothing special. The main goal of this anime, wanst the romance, but a story that starts ok and ends, oh guilty crown? I see what u did there.

About the last words, Togomi says, I wouldn't say they are completely true. She was making plans for after the journey after all. However, even when she was dying if you notice closely her right eye appear whit a cross, which usually applies scheming. The only words she said in her late of death were she wasn't scheming would be
"Even so... would you mind... if i fell for you?" (God dammit they need to stop whit this Guilty Crown, thing completly drops someone moral;_;)

The worst part is if they used "Akutō Bita" on her, she would have survived, but who cares right? We gotta make her die anyway!
put a spoiler tag on that one


Seriously, please put a spoiler tag!!!!!

This doesn't suprises me as I've already finished the anime of Monogatari Series.

Take a look at my webnovel, read and seek the hidden truth behind the cursed ducks.

opinion varies from person to person i guess!
but i did enjoy the anime and so little romance it had!
i really hate it when whole story focuses on romance in action based anime! it kind of ruins the whole story! SAO is an example!
however if you had complains with the last episodes then do count me on your boat! however the last words by Togame did some cover up through!
