Everything GREAT About: Horimiya

[@AnimeWins]

Had so much fun covering this one, I knew it was something special from the first episode which rarely is the case for me. I hope you enjoy the video and any support would be great!

[@aymenab8956]

love the vids

[@ICU23000]

now we'll just have to wait till June 1st for the second season! Would love it if you make a EGA vid of it too!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Love your videos 😊😊😊

[@anegwa]

Stay out of my amazon cart

[@thatanimationfan9649]

Thank you for the video I loved it

[@BenganGamer]

Horimiya is such a breath of fresh air from normal romances where they beat around the bush all the time.

[@LordElpme]

or it's a never ending stream of misunderstanding

[@nuxxism]

@@LordElpme That's why I eventually stopped watching Gamers. Eventually everything feels way too manufactured and you never achieve catharsis.

[@kallistikaleid]

​@@nuxxism Eeeehhhh.....as much as I adore Gamers! I can hardly defend ANY of the negative points about it. I think the source material is a good bit better, but also more of the same. Barely counts as a romance.

[@Jay-gq1mo]

I don't like Slice of life anime but I really enjoyed this one, I hate strories that don't progress so I liked this one

[@salvadortoscano2534]

Believe it or not, that's actually the excuse many people gave on why they *don't* like Horimiya. They claim it "got boring" after Miyamura and Hori got together. Like, if you complain about romance anime being the same, and then you don't like one that *isn't* the same, stop complaining and watch your samey romance anime.

[@Mr-Geist-Bong]

one of the better written romance anime's. It has good comedy but is also able to make things feel very genuine and realistic. Blew me away when I first saw it.

[@LordElpme]

I hoped this wouldn't be another trainwreck romance series like Gamers... I wasn't disappointed.

[@yetiornot5726]

I think this show is lowkey slept on. For romcom anime, this is sitting very high. Not many anime have such supporting cast development.

[@fadedc]

Its been 19 videos since the last romance wins. I'm so glad that this anime is being reviewed.

[@Hittori123]

I read and watched this for the first time last month so mad the anime missed some scenes.

[@egoaltar5999]

14:30 When they all all their desks up to Miyamura's as if it's the most natural thing right after he's fretting is such an understated powerful and emotional moment. Brings the tears every time

[@RidOne285]

Rushed ending aside, Horimiya is an AMAZING adaptation of the amazing manga it was. I cant wait for Horimiya Piece to be out that can potentially patch up the holes this otherwise perfect anime has.

[@Dadan-dan]

Some would argue that the rushed pace actually did it some good, what with the manga taking forever at some points (though that's mostly after they start dating). On the other hand the anime skips a lot of interactions between characters that are just brilliant and I'm a bit dissapointed they were skipped over.

[@krasherom]

@@Dadan-dan is it just me or was it never properly touched upon who the little girl was in Hori's house near the end?

[@Dadan-dan]

@@krasherom I... don't really remember if it was mentioned in the anime. In the manga she is presented as Souta's, the little brother, new friend from elementary school. I always remember this one scene where he tells her the reason he stay out late playing (besides wanting to stay out playing) is because he wants to give the MCs some space for themselves.

[@Tigrion]

@@krasherom i think Shouta mentions her a few times when going out but we didn't saw her in person before that ending shot I'm guessing its a moment the animators included to give the character a cameo as they didn't include her in the animation itself gives all the more reason to people that have watched the anime and didn't read the manga to check it out if they want to read more moments that where left out of the adaptation

[@MIK-oj7jq]

i was always really confused with the timeline of horimiya especially after the second season aired

[@grantharriman284]

19:44 is one of my all time favorite moments in anime. Her freaking out over realizing that most people would expect her to freak out and she didn't. She is more concerned about how people would expect her to act than about how she actually acted.

[@greybey4385]

Tbh this is kinda off topic but I keep forgetting Shindo has a girlfriend because he's gotta be the most homiesexual character in the entire anime

[@JigglinJewels]

Horimiya is an anime ive seen once, and yet it stands as an easy top 3 anime I've ever seen and a comfort anime I'd eagerly watch again if I had the time. Everything is organic, real and satisfying, and I adore it

[@salvadortoscano2534]

16:53 And *here* is the big reason apparently lots of people hate this anime. They claim it got "boring" after Episode 3 because the romance *actually developed.* What's so bad about *not* revolving the anime around one thing for the entire run?? I loved watching Horimiya, and I'll gladly watch it again, it's such a good show, in my opinion :D

[@paullow3377]

The thing I love about Japanese culture and their anime is that their names are significant in many ways. Eg, 48:30 Yuki is her name and it also means snow in Japanese. There are so many deeper meanings when she said nobody wants it to snow, she's literally putting herself in that context of the love triangle. The other girl's name is Sakura which is also the flowers of the cherry blossom (aka Sakura) that normally bloom after winter. This reference was also present when they both made cookies, especially the flavours.

[@boonwolf9266]

How yuki mentioned the muddy snow being ugly and how everyone wanted it to disappear really hurt. I'm glad she had a satisfying ending.

[@LLL....]

Now i want to rewatch horimiya again

[@qBigBoo]

Horimiya is stil to this day, my absolute top romance anime. I´ve seen it like 5 times already and twice was in eng dub, since its really good imo. Probably as good as My dress up Darling eng dub was.

[@Elchinoalto]

I honestly really enjoyed the dub they sounded like actually people my dress up darling and love is war both dubs are fantastic I swear the dubs for romance and comedy’s be so good

[@gamingmanipulation3333]

This is my all time favorite romance anime right next to Call of the Night, so i'm so very happy you are covering it. Thank you for all the amazing work you do!

[@AnimeWins]

Thanks so much for the tip its very appreciated and super glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@akachi7933]

I loved this anime but haven't been able to get any of my friends to give it a shot so listening to how much you enjoyed this anime makes me absurdly happy, thanks for making these awesome videos

[@merlyworm]

My 15 yr old daughtet was shocked ibe watched this anime. Im 51 and i thought this was the second best romance anime i eber watched. Only Bunny girl sempai beats it.

[@MrRisenKill]

Honestly, this is one of, if not my most favorite Anime of all time. Its just so good that, every time I decide to rewatch it, I would binge watch it withing 2 days. Also, the English Dub is nearly as spot on as the Japanese original. This is art and it needs to be protected!

[@Crazael]

27:22 The dad's line about wishing he could go back to high school hits different when you find out he had to drop out early because he got Kyoko's mom pregnant and they both got kicked out of their homes.

[@No_OneO_N]

Wait what? Did I miss this info through my first two watch thoughts?!

[@ChannelSurfer661]

This is by far my favorite romance anime. Its the best example of what a studio can do with creative freedom and a solid budget. Its a pure diamond in the rough when compared to other romance anime and anime in general. Its the show that brings about so many complex emotions and the fluidity of the storyline and the believability of it makes me yearn for more shows like it. Its, in my opinion, a masterpiece in its own right.

[@Professor_Wisteria_]

i think another win in my book is the fact that both Subbed and Dubbed VAs are incredible. like, not just good or alright, but INCREDIBLE. its one of the few shows that i dont actually mind watching either version in

[@almas9421]

One of the most well writen love story in anime, Horimiya is such a masterpiece in my opinon only Kaguya, Oregairu or Insomniacs After School are on this level for real. I feel blessed to see this anime that I love so much being reviewed, even if it skipped a lot from the manga it doesn't feel it's missing, everything is flawless, but I'm still very hyped to see the new adaptation and to read the manga (alrdy bought the 1st 10 volumes + the graduation artbook (THEY ARE SO CUTE *inserts Marin Kitagawa reaction*)).

[@themadgroper]

The Mrs. and I will celebrate 24 years this December and I love her more now than ever! Praying that you and the Mrs. have as many happy years as we have!! The feels you get in this anime are same no matter how old (50) you are… the right story with the right characters can make you feel like it was yesterday!!

[@katiepatterson3160]

Horimiya was one of my first romcoms and is the one that really got me into the genre, even after watching countless other since then it still remains one of my favorites.

[@a-jokerxd8658]

Doing the scenes in the way they do is very unique and make a feeling that makes you just want to keep watching these moments unfold

[@a-jokerxd8658]

It doesn't go overboard and so you dont feel like any of its forced

[@colt1903]

Quick personal shout-out to the English Dub of this show. I've been watching it lately and HOLY SHIT ITS AMAZING!

[@etheriousnatsudragneel9612]

The comment for the algorythm help is here!! Also what a BANGER of a video for my personally favorite romance anime!!

[@harmanpatel8692]

OFFICIALY THE MOST WHOLESOME ROMCOM! Super excited for Pieces!

[@AmatMN]

8:22 is when i fell in love with this anime. As a bi guy it's so nice to hear a character be confident enough to be like we're not a good match instead of immediately being disgusted or angry.

[@midas7332]

This is probably my favourite romance anime cause it feels kinda real compared to a lot of other ones. Also a second season i think is gonna come out that's about other stuff we didn't see in the anime so far

[@danielmongui4660]

If someone asked me why I wouldn't be able to tell them why, but this anime simply became one of my favourites I still remember just dumb smiling while watching it. Sooo glad you made a video on it

[@vexxus3425]

I love Horimiya, so for you to pick out everything you like just makes me happy😊

[@Bigvig_of_bogvog]

52:32 oh good, I thought I was the only one who cried over their sibling relationship. I got teary even from just this video

[@Sgt_SealCluber]

Speaking of Violet Evergarden and getting all watery eyed, that empty title card at the end of that episode always gets me.

[@Blade12113]

Everything great about Horimiya? Literally everything.

[@bennettwu8720]

43:47 you left out my fav line from Hori, "I asked you a question you failed to answer"

[@themetronomian7239]

this is one of my comfort mangas...super wholesome and light on the mind

[@jaltersimp9639]

I need to go back and rewatch this. It's been so long and my god still in the top 5 for me for sure.

[@jumpingspiderjesusfreak6219]

This anime makes me cry every time I watch it. (And I love it for it)

[@nightmare6887]

Horimiya was the one that got me somewhat into romance anime. the story, the characters, the setting, it was all done to perfection. I just loved the way everything and everyone worked so well together. Also can you please cover Redline it's one of the best animated anime movies of all time and seriously underrated. Please and love your videos. Cheers mate!

[@pers0n_13]

You have the perfect timing bro I've just finished watching it yesterday. I think I've never clicked on a video so fast ❤

[@obicortes8199]

I came back and rewatch your video, because Horimiya is probably my favorite romance anime. Something about it just resonates with me so much. I do wish they had made it longer instead of having a season 2 with out of context stories that were cut for time in season 1. As always you do such great work with these videos.

[@outsiderthevoid8780]

YESSS thank you man this was one of my favorites I've been looking forward to it you're the best!

[@Sgt_SealCluber]

The dub in FANTASTIC as well.

[@ENugget]

I'm so surprised to see this getting covered but I love seeing this anime getting the respect it deserves since it's probably my favourite romance anime and in my top 3 anime list, it just makes me feel warm and I'm so happy to see you covering it

[@prydonia]

Horimiya is a delight. There are so few anime like it that treat its characters like real people and not blithering idiots. It looks gorgeous. The writing is great. So glad you enjoyed the show!

[@Patsfan1987]

Yes!!! Every upload just puts a smile on my face!!! Hope all is well brother and thank you for all the hard work!!

[@farmaceut8083]

Horimiya gotta be one of the best written Slice of Life romances that I had pleasure to watch/read. I know a fair number of manga readers didnt like that anime skipped a lot of content and opted to wrap up the story in 13 episodes but I personally think it was a good choice. First half of the season is mainly Hori & Miyamura getting together and becoming a real couple, after that the story becomes more of a Slice of Life showing their school life with some character arcs sprinkled in. I always felt like this change in the story would be too big for 1 cour anime and would turn some people off it. Anime managed to adapt some important story beats and wrap the story up in the same way manga did without making it feel rushed. With that in mind, Horimiya Anime is returning next season with Horimiya: Piece that will adapt skipped content. So those who really enjoyed these amazing characters can look forward to spending more time with them during this summer! I'm 100% gonna recommend it on Patreon once it wraps up!

[@Zenguai13]

The Dub version of the Candy scene was as funny as the subbed. I love it and the interaction between the friends over it all just cracks me up every time.

[@kylebolls8925]

Awesome commentary! Thanks for pointing out even more I didn’t notice! I really hope they continue the show! It’s so good!

[@PeoplecallmeLucifer]

16:00 "Myamura is mine" "Girl u wanna die?"

[@Boodef]

This was the first show I loved enough to actually go and read the manga for and it didn't let me down truly my favorite romance anime ever idk why I'm sure there's much better shows for other people but this one hit my feelings in a different way, Thanks for covering it and enjoying it! :D

[@boonwolf9266]

As someone who reads lots of romantic manga this is by far one of the best I have ever read. The anime did an excellent job of trimming the story and still making it feel just as good.

[@Natedawg1998]

My honest to God reaction to this video "... YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES"

[@tacticallemon7518]

39:31 the end credits scene is more… conclusive Spoilers: It cuts to hori, topless (shot so you can tell, but can’t see), telling miyamura that if he cuts his hair again, the bite mark will show kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHaYpaRjhrmFd5Y

[@laurensky4243]

13:00 casually mentioning the trails franchise showing he has great taste in games too

[@Robot3k]

I love this show, thank you for covering it

[@logangardner6303]

I so enjoy reliving these amazing series with you. Your commentary helps pull thoughts I've had to make me feel like I'm watching a show for the first time over again and I so appreciate that. You're doing a great job, keep it up thanks

[@kallistikaleid]

Oh. My. As usual, a perfectly lovely choice of anime and an obscenely well-made video. Horimiya is a favorite of mine, mainly for being an ACTUAL romance, and for being one of the funniest, most beautiful, and properly directed animes ever. My heart feels like it can go on a bit longer, now that I've gotten to share in a rewatch of this masterpiece with your channel and its lovely fans. Thank you. Also, 10/10 side characters. How friggin often can ya say that?!?!?

[@anillodiluna]

I never watched Hoeimiya before I came to this video, but after watching this, I immideately watched it all and did so again yesterday. Amazing!

[@sniezeksniezkowaty6719]

Didnt expect a video about i think my favourite slice-of-life romance anime will be sooo long i love it.

[@tylerstokes4124]

Horimiya is my all time favorite romance. You nailed it on the head with how organic it felt.

[@bobbenson6825]

I literally just got home from picking up my computer from the repair shop and setting it back up to find this at the top of my feed. Thank you! This is a top-tier rom-com for me (the likes of My Love Story or Kaguya-sama or My Dress-up Darling) and it's great to see a nice, long dive into it. Keep up the wonderful work!

[@JAG3003]

Thank you for covering this, it's in my top 5 favourites.

[@neon_lights]

Thank you for finally doing this!!!! Horimiya is one of my comfort animes and it was great seeing a big KZbinr like you watch and share your thoughts!!

[@sadaholic]

wow i wasnt expecting this, but i’m glad you made it! this show is so good fr

[@ashleightompkins3200]

What I love about Horimiya is the almost complete lack of the typical drama. No will they, won’t they, anguished confessions or misunderstandings, none of the manufactured arguments that make you rip your hair out, it’s such a refreshing change up to so many other romances I’ve had to sit through and it’s still as funny as something like Ouran!

[@Sta_cotto]

Horimiya is, with no exaggeration, a perfect story. That's something I can't even say about most of my favorite anime, or works of fiction in general; it's just that good.

[@brenpeter]

This anime just makes me smile. I love it so much! I've rewatched it three times.

[@imyabota5785]

I remember watching this anime at the end of high school. I never really had friends during highschool, but in my last 2 years I found nice people to be with and I tried really hard to be good friends with them. I really tried hard...but then Covid came. Suddenly I was alone buried under assignment, not seeing people for months. In the end everything I worked hard for, everything that gave me strength, crumbled infront of my eyes. I lost long term friends who made bad decisions, friends I just made and a hobby which I loved like nothing else in the world. With no support in this world, since my parents just chewed and spit me out too at that time, I found this gorgous anime. It showed me what my 2 last years could've been, but sadly I wasn't able to turn anything to an happy end. I had to live in the alternate time line of Horimiya. The last episodes really broke me and triggered something bad in me at the time, stripping me off all my will and motivations to keep fighting. But also showed me that there is a possibility in life that things might turn out good in the end. This anime has a really really special place in my heart, good and bad. And if you read it to the end, I'm sorry for wasting your time reading my rant ^^'.

[@cherryaide]

When I watched the 1st season in 2021, I fell in love with all the characters and the story, so I started reading the manga. After reading the manga I decided to rewatch the anime and then I realized I had gotten fixated on the anime lol. Last year when season 2 was announced I freaked out, I was so happy. I didn't expect it, even though I knew there was so much more content in the manga! Since then I've rewatched the anime maybe a dozen times and also reread the manga a couple times, but for the manga I mainly go back to my favorite chapters. Long story short, I love Horimiya dearly. :D

[@spectre8701]

I've been hoping you'd cover this one, its honestly my fav romance, its just done so well and uniquely its hard not to fall in love with the show from the very start

[@CharleneOcampo13]

39:41 I love the writing for this part, tho. Miyamura was referring to himself and Hori as "onii-chan" and "onee-chan" respectively instead of "me" and "her/Hori-san", to reflect how Souta speaks, and how he emphasizes that they are Souta's in this situation, since Souta was sharing his insecurity of Miyamura taking his sister away. He used Souta's language to emphasize that, now that Hori and Miyamura are a couple, it doesn't mean they're both leaving Souta behind to be their own thing, Miyamura just became another person in Souta's world.

[@zygardethefatalscythezygar4059]

There is a time ship chapter where souta is now in their high school n wearing his uniform. He said it was his big brother's uniform

[@MrGrzesiek_]

i just wanna point out how miyamura says "a wild Shindo appears" and in eng dub Alejandro voices miyamura and leon in pokemon so i find it more funny for some reason

[@vik-kun6567]

As much as i absolutely adore the anime you really gotta give props for the manga and the scenes that didnt make it into the anime with every bonding moment and just an entire chapter of Miyamura and Sengoku just doing everything in their power to not have to swim at the school pool and even when they had a sleepover at Sengokus place just was funny as hell but anyways great anime 10/10 would recommend (Ive read the manga like 5 times already and after this i want to read it again, ty)

[@phantom9831]

42:20 well...yes and no, she's not really masochist, she just loves seeing Miyamura treating her like this, she would dilsike it as hell if it was anyone other than him, which is cute in a way
