[@vildiac]

I love this anime to pieces. It's fun, it's sweet, and despite the multiple instances of obvious fan service, it's incredibly wholesome, and it just doesn't feel out of place. Their relationship seems so genuine and human. There's now weird "will they or won't they" thing going on, because it's clear that it *will* happen, just eventually, in their own time. The story and the characters, and the animation and music just all...work. This anime is a work of art and one that will be a favourite of mine for a long time to come. Also Marin Kitagawa is absolutely 100% best girl from any anime ever, there's no changing my mind about this.

[@genderenigma8276]

I love how gender roles are portrayed in MD-UD. It pokes fun at them, while showing how people are just people and they can like whatever they want.

[@DarthPoyner]

How are the "gender roles" being poked or changed? He is a craftsman that works hard and is not very outgoing. But he takes charge and gets things done. She is a confident beauty that "happens" to be a model. Just because he is introvert and she is extrovert does nothing to the "gender roles". If nothing else this show supports the traditional "gender roles". He is a man who likes a pretty girl and wants to be around her. His skill and talent makes her dreams come true. Her emotional strength brings him comfort and strength. This is exactly what a traditional male/female relationship is SUPPOSED to be. Most of the hate comes from people who think she is too feminine and that he is still too masculine. Marin is what nearly every man in the world longs for. A supportive, caring, thoughtful woman that takes responsibility for themselves and doesn't feel entitled because she could easily get anything from a man.

SPOILERS for the manga (and hopefully season 2): ... They'll eventually meet a guy who crossdresses as cute girls. And Gojo (a guy) knowing how to do make-up is questioned at some point. ... END SPOILERS

[@dylanhaugen3739]

j P Hijo is literally judged for liking dolls at the start of the show because he's a boy, he doesn't even just see doll making as a profession he genuinely likes them. He also comes to enjoy doing marins makeup and clothes, later in the manga he gets excited when he finds new types of makeup at a store. There's even a stereotype that men who enjoy doing makeup and fashion must be gay. Marin on the other hand isn't just a pretty outgoing model, she's an open perv who talks about her favorite porn game to gojo even though they barely know eachother. Anime and Ecchi games are traditionally marketed towards males. Marin has many traditionally feminine hobbies and interests, but she also doesn't care if people judge her for her traditionally male hobbies either. Gojo puts everything he had into his interests, but that just means he's really focused and passionate about his interests and isn't satisfied until he finishes what he's doing. This isn't even an inherently male trait, if a woman didn't fully devote herself to taking care of her children or doing her job shed be called a bad mother and employee. Did you even try to understand the show? This is like when I met a libertarian who loved the video game bios hock and didn't even realize the game was a critique of libertarianism, and Andrew Ryan was based on Ayn rand and rapture was the city from atlas shrugged.

[@alexhooper6625]

One of my favorite things about this show... The cosplay event is seriously well done. Her little, "What's it matter? Those clothes are your style!" was so great, because people truly do not care what you look like at these events. It's all about sharing an interest and being yourself, enjoying your hobbies. The number of compliments I've gotten, given to people, or even just casual conversations struck are to many to count.

[@benjaminlammertz64]

As someone who makes my own and my fiancés costumes for living history and thus knows a thing or two about tailoring: The creators of this actually sat down and did their research! Taking measurements, choosing the right fabric, the right stitch... everything about the craft is presented extremely accurately and i am in the very niche demographic that *really* appreciates this.

[@davidmclean357]

The Manga (which i recommend) really goes into detail about how they went to stores (many of them in the anime exist in RL) and talked to people in the business. They did all the homework to make sure they had all the details.

[@aaronbredon2948]

Some of the scenes that look photorealistic were actually done from photographs. And Swallowtail is a real wig shop that gave permission to be used in the manga/anime. The Mangaka really put in the time to learn what is really needed. FYI-my mother had an old treadle sewing machine very similar to the one that breaks down in the anime. I can vouch for the authenticity of that imagery, and pretty much all the sewing related references.

[@Dkgow]

You mention the "win" for the outfit Marine was wearing when Gojo comes to her apartment, but NOT for the fact that she always wears contacts because she "hates" her real eyes, and doesn't want him to see them at all. That is a win itself for character development.

[@Seto_Kyle6743]

I can’t tell you how many times I love how this guy points out small details and gives props to them! His reactions and input make me feel like I’m watching this anime for the first time! Thank you for continuing to make amazing content, Anime Wins.

What I loved about the main character is that, interestingly enough, Wakana Gojo my be on the Asperger's Spectrum; the way he has difficulties socializing, becoming weirdly obsessed and focused on a hobby, the way he doesn't understand certain social cues or norms, and how at times he can switch between understanding the sexual tension and being oblivious. Loved their portrayal of this disability and am looking forward to the second season. Note: I noticed this because I am someone who is diagnosed with Asperger and Gojo appears to be low on the Spectrum like me.

[@kremit_frog4031]

He is just socially awkward

[@ryansnowberger3177]

@@kremit_frog4031 No, if it was just pure social awkwardness, he wouldn't be hyperfocused on his sewing and outfit designs. I mean, for Shizuku-tan, he straight up played an ENTIRE EROGE and didn't bat an eye at the porn elements, focusing squarely on the outfit he was making. We even saw him crafting BLUEPRINTS for the outfit. His friendless background, how it's caused by people judging him for his 'special interest' (hina dolls) is a hallmark of the entire Autism Spectrum, whether it's high-functioning like Asperger Syndrome or not. It's actually a major source of our social issues: the lack of meaningful interaction with others in school or out means less experience, and since our minds tend to be hardwired for logic rather than emotions, we struggle to pick up on social cues that would otherwise be GLARINGLY obvious. Hell, my girlfriend (best friend at the time) was dropping hints for _months_ , and I never noticed because I was focused on the fact that she was getting more and more distant and shy with me. I genuinely thought she didn't like me at all, and was trying to find a way to break it gently. Imagine my surprise when she barges into my house one day, _kicks my bedroom door open_ , and pounces on me before I even realize it's her. So yeah, he's got a lot of the hallmarks of High-Functioning Autism. Social anxiety isn't so much struggling with social situations; rather, it's a struggle to _stay_ _calm_ in those situations.

[@Jack-kx5rf]

Yeah, he reminded me of a guy I went to school with who has Asperger syndrome. What got portrayed in the anime was definitely more than just social awkwardness.

This show was an unexpected W

[@Sylau369]

Ikr

[@maaxorus]

That very first scene hit a little hard for me. I also was surrounded by extremely judgemental people as a kid, and them dismissing or making fun of my hobbies and passions was a very formative experience back then, and it strongly influenced how I express myself. Seeing this stuff be a running theme in the show was oddly therapeutic.

[@KMadden_]

Have you read any of the manga since writing this? It may resonate even more with your experiences if the first scene struck a chord with you. It gives readers far more introspective Gojo moments. The arcs following where the show left off are honestly some of the best imo.

[@unsoundmethodology]

One of my favorite things about #80 - "Are these your girlfriend's?!" - is that it's not just that she cares if he has a girlfriend, it's that she's really worried about the possibility. Anybody else would be, of course he doesn't have a girlfriend - but Marin already knows he's boyfriend material. One of the very nice characterization choices made is that the Inui sisters both, when stressed, play with their hair by just grabbing fistfuls of it and sort of scrunching themselves up around that. You see it on Juju in her introductory scenes and when freaking out when inspecting the studio; Shinju does it when introduced and when she's worrying about upsetting her sister by cosplaying wrong - and then you can tell she wants to when she's first seen in her full costume, and the camera focuses on her from the waist down; her hands go up a little, and then she forces one down with the other, clearly remembering she has a wig on - and that's when Juju grabs her hands.

[@eadanime1741]

Win 27 really hit, I thought about it and for me most meroably loved character for me was kisagi chihaya from idolmaster. At the time I fell in love with her in the anime, my parents were getting divorced and someone special to me passed away. But that character (spoil alert) she lost her brother at a really young age but by the end of the anime she sang because she loved it and felt no more guilt, letting her inner child out, and she just became so beautiful I cried the first time I heard “yakusoku” her friends singing the beginning… THEN she bursts the most beautiful voice I ever heard. She warmed my heart and gave me a song that I can sing nearly by heart, especially when I need it. (Ps life is good now so I don’t sing it often lol)

[@DonotmesswithStormfeoUA]

In the name of all Ohmygoshing and UMAI in this world - thank you so much for your time and effort making this video. Have a wonderful day man!

[@fullmetalmasify]

I remembered when I first saw this show... I wasn't sure what to expect. But by the end of episode 1 I was hooked and slowly but surely with each episode, the show felt more and more great to me. And this wins video does help remind me why this is one of my personal favorite anime (also of why Marin and Gojo were my favorites from this show). If we do a s2, that would be amazing to see.

[@TheOriginal561]

I'm so glad you finally came around to review this show. Initially I was put off by the title but boy I was glad I watched. This show portrayed the essence of pure innocence that young love has. Gojo was some awful woman/humanity hating incel/loner, he was a a legitimately good dude who was just a bit closed off to people and maybe a little too nice. Marin didn't just fall in love with him simply for existing and neither did he. They came together over a simple hobby and became friends. And each episode you see a natural progression without any of that "well we have to advance the relationship because we have to". And even though there were some, well, spicy moments. They're done with care in a way that represents, again, that innocence of being young, being friends and that sort of complicated and silly dynamic you have with certain people at that age. And Gojo being a good dude never reacts like a sex crazed fiend. There's a level of wholesomeness that's protrayed in this show I never ever thought could be done in animation. If you watch the dub the part where they're talking about the show that's smutty and the woman hears them and is in shock actually makes a great point in the dub that isnt conveyed in the sub. Basically reminiscing on that feeling of "oh to be young and in love again". Even though she was appalled by what was said she shared that same sentiment that frankly myself and probably other viewers had too. To be young again and have that innocence with dating because you're young and carefree. That pureness that you lose after dating someone really bad or several people that make you jaded about the world.

[@chris.replay]

As much as I loved the romance, characters, details and animation, I find the most extraordinary thing about this anime is its story of 2 people who are essentially embarrassed of their passions finding someone who accepts them for who they are and what they love. Gojo was absolutely suffering from social anxiety and mild depression before meeting Marin, she helped him accept himself and find joy in his life. Anyone who's ever been bullied, made fun of or teased for loving the things they do, knows how crippling it can be to feel the need to hide who you are from the world, and this examination of someone breaking free from their own self imposed chains is just beautiful. It's right up there with A Silent Voice for me in terms of this type of story. Just with a lot more boobs.

[@daggern15]

Brilliant work on this video. Every win reminded me deeply of why I fell in love with the manga and got to experience that same love again when watching the anime. Every beat is just phenomenal, their chemistry is amazing and the word you kept using is just perfect for the overall feel of this show; wholesome.

Thank you for covering this anime. It is seriously one of my favorite romance series I've ever seen. Somehow being both incredibly ecchi and utterly wholesome at the same time while not injecting any unnatural drama via love triangles or chronic misunderstandings. It's a show that knows that teenage love is awkward, goofy, and dramatic enough all by itself. I just really love this show and am praying it gets a second season.

The “matane “ Marin gives us at the end of the season seriously made me blush when I first watched it lol. Just with that simple phrase it was like the entire team was talking to us 😍

[@OscarIna0fTimeVODs]

I love the way this anime breaks cliches, or changes them. The pool/beach scenes, the room scenes, how they invite each other to hang out, she paying for her stuff but also for food for both of them, the way they start liking/loving each other by discovering parts of the other that they like A LOT like she starting to notice him more when she sees him smile from his heart and expressing his own passion, or that despite having romantic scenes ithe story doesn't focus on that, but instead on the growth of the characters and de social dynamics they show and polish throughout the manganime. Even small scenes like Kitagawa falling with Veronica's cosplay has a twist since, normally, she would've fallen on Gojö, but instead she falls backwards. I love everything it does, the narrative and pacing is great, the animation is incredible, the OST is beautiful as fuck, and the development, for me, is the best part of this. They learn and grow so so so much, it just makes me so happy to watch it, and I think it also sets a great example about how to communicate and treat people.

[@cedricsommerscave]

Finally its such a beautyful Anime also i Love how this Anime actually taught me a Lot of live Lessons. With actually getting *me Out of *depression.

At the end i was like "no you cant do my boi like this, damn it tell him when hes awake!!!" I super loved this anime it was super wholesome and cute. Yes there is some fan service, but it feels so natural in this show when it does happen really not forced at all. I had no idea about the tan scene getting some hate to me thats really dumb some people really just want any reason to hate something. I think this is my favorite slice of life anime.

You have pointed out so many great things about this show, there’s not much I can add. But I will add this: never in my anime watching life have I invested as much time into watching other people react to a show. I fell hard for it and it delights me every time a new person picks up Marin and Gojo’s story and falls in love with it, too. You can tell the animators loved it.

I think my favorite part is just how naturally they fit together. So many animas and manga have the MCs be either super awkward or just plain rude to each other. With these two, they are genuinely nice to one another and like being together. It’s refreshing. I also like how they fall in love alongside each other instead of one them being super in love from the start while the other spends such a long time before even liking the other, much less loving.

[@nerd660]

The fireworks scene in the final episode was on a KyoAni level. A very fun, wholesome show that looked gorgeous from start to finish

[@TheActualMrLink]

One thing I really wanna bring attention to is in episodes 2 and 10 how shadows are used to show someone being in a “dark place” mentally. In episode 2 when Gojo is (poorly) hiding from Marin out of misplaced social anxiety, he’s in the shade until she reassures him and physically pulls him out of the dark into the sunlight. Later on in episode 10 when Gojo confessed his reservations about seeing the Veronica cosplay (which was a MASSIVE Guilty Gear reference, btw! :D), he and Marin both walk into a shaded part of the street. After the confusion is cleared up and the two have a heart-to-heart, they walk side by side out into the evening sunlight.

[@tlesser-aase7394]

I love this anime, I was honestly surprised how much I enjoyed it. The lack of the usual clichés was so refreshing for one and the MCs were great. The grandpa definitely deserved his own win, what a sweet soul he is. Also, how ridiculous that people had an issue with Marin putting on a fake tan. I'm brown, hair, eyes, skin, the whole shebang and when my friends faked tanned* they'd always compare to my natural skintone to check their progress. That isn't offensive, I thought it was funny. God. And besides that. Cosplay is something everyone can enjoy and they go to great lengths to get it right to show respect to the characters OR put their own spin and interpretation of the character to make it their own. I'm sure we can think of exceptions, but really there is no wrong way to cosplay. *No that's not super healthy, but neither is ice cream, lattes, fried food and a myriad of other things, but we still enjoy them. All things in moderation.

[@mbot1901]

As an art student I love this show so much visually, it’s genuinely beautiful and the animation is so fluid it’s crazy. I also wanted to highlight the use of rotoscoping in the animation, which makes scenes where characters move look much more slick and 3d by first filming a real person doing the movements and then drawing over them or using it as reference (a good example of this is the end of the opening or this scene at 3:06 where she scratches her head). If you look out for it you can tell when it’s being applied and this goes for a bunch of more recent anime like aot season 4 and JJK if I’m not mistaken.

I will say, this is what got me into anime- it's something my friends liked, but I never got around to watching it until my friend invited me over to watch this along with her. And here I am, two months later, still binging romance/slice of life anime. Absolutely phenomenal show, 10/10

One thing that you didn't mention is the background music from the firework scene. I absolutely love that. It's just so perfect with Gojo discovering the world because of Marin that it had pe watching the anime one more time just for that specific scene. Also, Gojo's development happens so naturally that I didn't even notice it the first time I watched the anime. I JUST LOVE IT

[@Rootz2000]

LETS GOOOOOO! I love your work. Keep it up!

[@Alurkerdood]

That scene with the chainsaw wielding Sadako expy was a beat by beat rendition of the ending of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I'm really glad you got to see this, and that you enjoyed it so much. It felt so strange at first for me, I came for the "cultured" stuff but ended up remaining due to the sheer wholesomeness of them both.

[@scrumvilly2796]

This is by far my favorite show ever

[@MrDjsmooth87]

Damn good to see you back at it my friend. Absolutely love and appreciate all of your efforts. You so deserve far more exposure/subs.

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING VIDEOOOO!!!!!! Also love how when an ep ends and another one starts it feels like I've clicked on another yt video all together. Keep up the good work💙🤍!!

[@themadgroper]

I have already subbed, liked, and shared this video… so I hope this helps beat back the evil algorithm!! Keep making great videos, brother!!

[@AnimeWins]

Oh wow this is the first time this has ever happened so not really sure what to do and why YT didn't tell me about it, (found scrolling through comments). Thanks so much man, this means a lot!!

The English va for her is a big W 🤣

[@douglasnewdell]

Honestly I have to agree. I put on dubs for anime when I need some background noise for something. I ended up watching the whole series instead of doing what I planned on cause the show hooked me.

[@bhargavnarayan2405]

Here we go! Thank you so much for the content 😁

[@donaldsneed8130]

Anime Wins, regarding your comment at 38:45 : Sometimes, just sometimes the universe does us an extraordinary solid. Marin is just a higher dimensional best/wholesome girl that it breaks my heart and fills it with infinite joy on a multiversal and quantum level. We don't deserve her but I'm incredibly grateful to her existence. 😄

[@hawlkman]

Loved this anime too! love what you do and and I hope things get better!

[@klloydplata4098]

The animation movement is making this interesting iconic to watch.

[@tobiasoberhaus2331]

Thanks once more for your time and amazing work.

[@Grapelordz]

Loved your video on this amazing anime. Your videos are always top notch and I love your amazing reactions and interpretations and analysis on animations I didn’t notice. My only hope is that someday March comes in like a Lion will get voted in as I feel like it definitely deserves the quality of attention and detail you put in your videos.

[@Bloodshade]

33:42 you didn’t even reference the absolute parallel that is Marin photographing what she considers to be “beautiful”

[@mickaelanon6908]

Great video as always keep going man

[@OtakuLad999]
