The Anime That REVIVED The Romance Genre

[@candralegend4965]

Well what i like about this anime is the progress feels natural, they didn't suddenly fall in love for each other in the first eps. They started out as a classmates then become friend until now become unofficial couple. And it's not just about romance, it also about self love and the development of the character.

[@KebusuNiisan]

The main selling point of this anime is the realistic main characters' development. I mean, you don't expect an apple to grow into a fruit-bearing tree overnight.

@@lunascomments3024 Infact, the main reasons i see people disliking re:zero is that they claim that "The characters are terrible" or "the MC is annoying" or even "The characters have zero character development" ( This last one being completely untrue ), you are the ONLY person i have seen who has complained about the community, which BTW does not affect the quality of the series.

@@delguin5447 I just found one additional person today.... I am not surprised.

[@dotPerson0]

I think even with the bike incident, he's starting to feel jealous but also he's seen her female friends group up to protect her from being hit on by the senpais. He knows she's trying to avoid the guy, but doesn't have the confidence to say anything. Then right at the point he's about to lose any chance to say or do something, he pushes the bike to create a distraction in a way that her can try to play it off as an accident... it's cringe but fits the characters.

[@AriLasso-m9m]

Dangers in my heart isn't like any generic romcom, at first it maybe seems like that but the anime goes deeper and deals with themes like inferiority complex, insecurity, frailty and make the characters overcome those in a realistic way. As a result, The Dangers in My Heart goes beyond just a lighthearted romcom and evolves into a series that can leave a long lasting impact on the audience.

[@Kepreejohnson]

One of my favorite things about this anime is how issues are treated. Misunderstandings get resolved and don’t drag on for whole episodes or longer. They both learn to understand each other’s problems and insecurities. I love how realistic their issues are too. Like how in the first season Yamada thought Ichikawa was ignoring her and Ichikawa lied . Then that same issue is brought up again in season 2 because she knew he wasn’t telling the truth. It’s so great because it’s so realistic. Things will bother you that you’ll think about even after you believe the issue was resolved. It’s just so good

[@craftstar346]

"6:53 hit the nail on the head. I wasn’t watching just to enjoy the romantic moments or to see them get together quickly. What I truly love is the delicate portrayal of their inner struggles and growth. The male lead’s journey of personal growth brought back so many memories for me, and I was genuinely moved by his character. The difference between this and typical 'saccharine romance' is that I can't watch this as a detached observer-it resonates with me on a deeply personal level."

[@WyvernLord11th]

The development was crazy, and my god I never thought I would love this anime after season 1, and season 2 is currently an absolute rollercoaster, and if you read the manga it's even crazier and you love it more :3

[@Kyuujino]

Yeah really crazy

[@MaajidM]

Ichikawa is probably my favorite anime romcom MC. Like you say, his development is of the closest to natural you’ll ever see. You can even see the moments when you notice his growth, but because of his insecurities, he can backtrack…but at the same time he eventually does come back around.

FINALLY. SOME GOOD FACTS ABOUT MY FAVE ROMANCE ANIME. (so is Love is war and Bloom into you) I have watched MANY romance animes, and they almost always seem either fake, or weird, or unrealistically unrealistic, or has too much unecessary scenes that serves nothing the plot, or has cardboards kinnies as side characters. I swear, this anime really hit really hard. The emotional moments, funny moments, comforting moments, exciting moments and EVERYTHING. pls i cannot exaggerate. The quality is just MWAH. And sure people may not like some stuff about this anime, but for me, it just hits the apot and I absolutely love it. Thank god I found a good commentry vid like this- I hunt for commentry videos so I could just show them to people straight instead of struggling to get my thoughts into words 😭💖💖💖

[@rusenakman]

It's not just romance or comedy, it's beyond that. Incredibly well written and well adapted. This is also a delight for people who love details

[@anlomedmed]

Let's be honest, the narrative of The Dangers in my heart is unique in its genre, the subtlety it has in handling topics such as depression, first love, insecurity and adolescent personal growth is simply magnificent. As a romance lover, you never expected to see a series so perfect in this area, thanks to its excellent character writing it has become my favorite romance and made me see the genre in a different way.

It had surprisingly low rating after the first 3 episodes, then it slowly started climbing.

I might be biased since I read the manga before the anime adaptation was even announced, but I think that the first few episodes of the first season were great. This is my favorite romance series. I’ve watched and read a lot of romance series.

I have never been so hyped about a romance in a long time. I eagerly expect every episode every week and in season 2, it feels like every new episode is the best episode.

[@MtheUndefeated]

The anime is my favourite and i dont even think it started bad. I consider myself the biggest fan of this anime because its really similar to my life. me being the guy who dont have any friends and doesnt really talk, trying to murder his classmates but i fell in love with the prettiest girl in the class who is also the talles and most popular. our friendship continues as the anime goes forward too. sometimes it even predicted what is gonna happen so thats why i watch it ☺

[@jessquiatchon2204]

@@Those2menoverthere Uhh the comedy in Kaguya is literally repetitive and barely helps the plot to progress in any way. Most of the times it's just completely unnecessary.

[@Those2menoverthere]

@@jessquiatchon2204 Well if you didn't like the comedy that much then I can see someone saying that. Personally, it had me laughing a lot, I loved absurd over-the-top humor. The whole episode when they go out and have a rap battle in a park? 💀 I felt the constant comedy routines was the whole point of the show, I really wasn't there for the romance. In the end, it's no big deal if that didn't do much for you, everyone has their own tastes.

[@zaragachizanparo4948]

If it were set in a Californian High School, it wouldn't be a romance, and Ichikawa would've racked up a kill count by episode 3.

Thanks for making this video. I’ve been dying to hear what other people think of it lol. I don’t even know what got me to watch season 1, but it was around 2 weeks ago and I binged all 12 episodes in one evening. There are so many moments in s1 and s2 where I genuinely got emotional or just had the deepest smile without necessarily being over the top either. It just hits right. And then there’s the OPs and EDs.. They’re so damn good. especially OP1 (shayou by yorushika) Thank you again, for this video.

[@SSRBnero]

red the manga back in 2020 and love it(ongoing). It's kind of crazy tho judging something by watching just 1-2 episodes without giving them a chances.

[@Huno0]

I think that's fair. If you don't like it after 3 episodes, you shouldn't waste your time on it. Although rating it without watching the whole thing is indeed weird.

[@SSRBnero]

@@Huno0 agreed

[@aziouss2863]

It was my fav since i started reading the manga. I stopped reading when i knew an anime was coming. The moment i knew it was something special is when i saw the though process of the typical middle school kid. It felt accurate. Like the class idiots acted that way in real life... It is extremely relatable. And what is most impressive is when i realized the writer was a woman and yet she had such a good understanding that she wrote extremely realistic male char. Which is one of main themes addressed here. Being able to understand the other despite the differences.

I like the fact that we can never point out exactly when Yamada started to like Ichikawa. She most likely wanted to be friends with him at first but it's quite uncertain when those feelings changed to romance. It's a very subtle change compared to most anime, I think.

Man the first few episodes were me just saying "nah this is giving me school shooter vibes", and then after that the whole show pulled on my heart strings so much I was contemplating everything. I loved how they don't even kiss on the lips in the end of season 2, it shows how slow and natural this romance is and how it's more than just looks and impulses, but instead the heart. Also Hanzawa is something a lot of people can relate to, many people just look at romance at a distance since they do not understand it or they cannot participate in it, which saddens you a lot. Man this show is a 8-9/10, give it a watch.

I wish people could learn to appreciate something without talking about something else living rent free in their head Every single romance anime or basically any show in general, haa ther fanbase deeming it as unique and different and trash talking about the rest of the shows in the genre. It just never stops Generally it begins with a detailed analysis of their favourite show and a vague purposely poorly expalned plot of the rest of the shows, to male a point, why their favourite show is better. I'll never understand the obsession with it. Either way, sorry for the rant, the video is well made, and serves it purpose, this anime is truly worth watching..

[@Huno0]

Sorry if it came across like I'm trying to criticize other romance anime. Romance is my favorite genre, and I watch a lot of them because I really enjoy it. I just believe this anime did an amazing job of addressing certain aspects that I felt were lacking in others. However, I couldn't delve into more detail about why I disliked certain aspects of other romances, such as 'Sing Yesterday For Me,' because most people just don't care. Next time I will try to make a more detailed explanation about it. Thanks for your comment.
