[@lukasimundza7741]

You forgot an important aspect of Love is War, which is weird since you said that it's a culmination of everything you talked about. Most of the comedy stems from the fact that the battles in "non battle" battle anime only seem so intense from the perspective of combatants and if you can hear their inner monologues. If you zoom out and look at things objectively it can look funny or pathetic, which can be used for either comedy or drama. Later chapters discuss this matter more explicitly. This makes the series extremely self aware. Also, since the battle is unofficial and only within the minds of Miyuki and Kaguya, the "battles" don't matter. For a "battle" to occur you don't even need both of them, which puts even more emphasis on that point, which similarly can be used for either drama or fun. There are many instances where they actually win the "battle", but instead of capitalizing on the victory like they always fantasize, they back away because, again, the "battles" don't matter. They just don't want to face their feelings and the possibility of rejection because of their insecurities. You could say that they win the battle but lose the war *title drop*.

[@the_senate8050]

The OVA does it perhaps the clearest of all. They spend an extended segment parodying Shokugeki no Soma and poking fun at the intensity with which characters there treat their battles which are only that exciting because of the comentary to anyone outisde of the loop.

[@WebbedManiac]

This exact thing happens in Death Note. People have made edits where they remove the entirety of Light and L's inner monologue from the show, and it sounds like the most random conversation you'd ever hear in any show.

What I love about Love is War is that while it works as absurdist comedy that conflict also has real stakes. Miyuki (the commoner) has a chip on his shoulder, a need to prove his superiority and force her into humbling herself so he won't be discarded for someone of higher status. Kaguya (the aristocrat) needs to corner him into taking all the risks so she doesn't have to face her oppressive family. There's this running theme in the story that sometimes people have good reasons to be shy, Ishigami certainly paid a price for following his heart.

How cool would it be if there was a “non battle battle series” about game development? I can see a collection of individuals each with their own skill set trying to kickstart an indie game company. And the “big threat” of the story is the game itself. Glitches, budget restrictions, ideas that seem really cool on paper but are ultimately broken. You can have a lot of drama, tension, and even heartbreak over watching these people struggle to create a game that they are passionate about and believe in. You want to see them succeed. I’d read/watch the hell out of that. ❤️

And there's also some plot elements that were inspired by real life cases like in the bakuman manga the manga reversi is about to reach its conclusion but the editor declines it cause the anime hasn't being aired yet at the moment meaning if there were no manga being published along side of the anime there will be no commercial push for the manga from the anime.

[@Dominator150395]

I love how Araki very early on realized that straight-up "my power level is bigger than yours" fights were unsustainable and likely to become cliche'd, so he switched the focus on the kind of metaphysical 4D chess that JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is now famous for. It's especially ironic that JJBA ended up being a huge influence on shounen manga, which ended up getting a reputation for cliche'd "my power level is bigger than yours" fight scenes.

[@Nowaylarry]

Indeed! It did take him pretty much the length of part three to really get a feel for writing stands in an interesting way but by part four most of the stand battles moved towards mind games and manipulating an advantage using their stands over the mostly simple stand designs of part three. I am a particular fan of the way stands in later parts started to have prerequisites or conditions where they would be over powered and most of the fights revolved around setting up those conditions.

Kaguya-sama is easily one of my favorite shows so far, I'm really happy to see it get more attention. As a side note, I'd love to see a traditional battle anime in the same format as a lot of early Kaguya scenarios. Two rivals battling, countering each other blow for blow nonstop... only for the entire thing to get diffused when a good friend of the two shows up and gives them an alternative solution while being completely oblivious to the situation.

The best part is, I really have hope that this one won't devolve into giant Kaiju bellowing at each other... I hope anyway! :)
