didn't see another thread about this so i'm gonna talk about it. straight up, all romance focased anime is literal shit and is unbelievably painful to watch because of all the cringe. time and time again no matter how good people say it is romance animes remind me why i'm a wizard. not to mention all the shitty melodramatic triangle shit just makes no sense. while i will admit that those shows have their good moments and that some do a lot better than others, its better to just not waist your time.

I would have agreed with you a couple years ago when all I knew about romance anime was the trash you see posted around all the time on chans, but since I found bl I'll have to disagree, seeing two boy's in love or in a really close friendship really releases the dopamine in my brain.

Do you mean manga or actual anime?
Because romance focused manga can be pretty good, but romance focused anime is absolute dogshit.

 No.26383

>>26382
most anime I watch are just manga adaptions anyway, I think they're fine, though since there's a lot more unadapted manga out there I've probably enjoyed more bl manga than anime

do you any examples of the trash anime you're talking about?

Off the top of my head, Sakura Trick was pretty irritating.

as i said most of them have their moments but i've never once found one better than a 6/10
it's been a couple years the only reason i watched one again was because a close friend said it was really good. i just finished watching citrus and while i will admit it was one of the better one it didn't get good till the last 4 episodes and even then those one weren't that good. a good example of the regular romance anime was this one called my little monster or some shit. just like almost every romance anime, the mellow drama was pointless and agonizing to watch, they tried bringing a love triangle that was poorly executed and the on and off again nonsense that has no real good reason to do so. it's just so fucking annoying, and the fact that it seems like none of those characters have any self awareness and embarrass themselves.

 No.26388

op here
as i said i just finished citrus and i'd say don't bother watching it. now don't get me wrong it's not necessarily 'trash' but its not great ether. its just like every other romance anime out there it just does some stuff slightly better.for example the first handful of episodes were hard to watch because of the main characters lack of self awareness causing cringe so painful that i had to pause that shit and go do something else to keep from blowing my brains out due to 2nd hand embarrassment. and the melodramma in those episodes missed their mark causing more suffering. after that the show really picked up the pace and got better because it stopped wasting its time on nonsense and the melodramma felt much more meaning full and progress was made. the next thing the show did right was the final love triangle was spot on and by the end of the season i was genuinely involved with the main characters struggle and overall it was pretty good. the shows main downfall was the main character, yuzu, was the only likeable character and even thats a stretch with the main character being a bitch in the beginning. mei, being the love interest, was a total bitch. mei not only was a cunt who seemingly went out of her way to start problems, and on top of that she was basicaly and insetuouse rapist, i counted at least 4 times where what she did to yuzu was basically attempted rape. over all the anime was just really awkward the whole way through, not only because it was succubus love, but because they were stepsisters who couldn't seem to keep the cat in the bag. i think there will be a second season and the only reason im gonna watch it is with the hope that their mom walks in on them doing some gay shit.
this anime was at most a 6/10. i think im gonna pick up some romance manga in hopes that will make it harder to feel 2nd hand embarrassment. any recommendations would be nice.

i won't say anime in romance is cringey, but it makes me want to bang my head against something when it starts getting romantic, and when they act all cutesy and awkward i just want to punch something. maybe i have too much wiztosterone

just watch good josei

 No.26394

>>26391
Yes, josei romance can be pretty good because at least it tries to be nuanced. I've read many bite-sized josei romance oneshots (manga) that I enjoyed. Haven't come across a single non-josei romance that I liked, really. Seinen makes everything too sexual while shounen and shoujo romance are just plain dumb.

How about refrain from making a shitty thread next time, OP?

During the past, I enjoy romance anime to some extent. There are a lot of anime that I want to watch.

As I grew older, there are a lot of things I removed from my list because as far as I see it, a lot of anime are just appealing to the normal audience and lots of it were something I can no longer bear. The lack of depth, romance here and there, harem, cure succubi, plots that are reused again and again, I got tired of those.

I am afraid that I'm finally becoming tired of anime at all. I am trying to watch anime again but can't get to it.

I tried Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san but the lesbian succubus annoyed me so dropped.

I tried Skilled teaser Takagi-san but got bored.

Only thing I really found interesting was Kaiji and Initial D.

Can't even try Evangelion because lots of normals like it.

Also, somehow, I liked Shokugeki no Souma. The aesthetics were nice and romance is not really the focus. There are a lot of trivia about food and it inspired me to cook. I will try Darker than Black because Hei is wizardly. Somehow, I think Angel Beats is also pretty nice.

I also liked Aldnoah.Zero. Normals will shove into my face the shit taste stuff, though but it's message is pretty deep, they just didn't carry out the story well but the message is there, it's Urobuchi who actually created it after all. If only they carried it well, it has a lot of potential.

I will also try Mushishi. I think it's an anime that really fits the wizard criteria.

You're either a fucking underaged normalfag or a retarded fucking troll.
From what you've said it is evident that you've not watched anime at all. It seems that you're a failed normalfag who watched a couple of romance anime in the past, never actually got into anime.
The things you've said are unbelievably retarded, the more I read them the more I think you're a troll.

If you're actually being serious like what the fuck are you doing man. How have you not watched eva dude what the fuck… how can you fucking say "I'll try to watch it if it's good enough."… What the actually fuck dude watch everything in 1 sitting you sad mother fucker

now you're implying he should watch it because it's popular

Eva is essential viewing for an anime fan, even i managed to watch it and i only watch anime without plot.

it's just your basic 2deep anime that weebs watched when they were teens and now obsess over for no reason, like ghost in the shell, same deal, really not worth watching unless you're actually into the plot

I can deduce that this is the same poster, he who can't watch "popular" anime, and does not like evangelion, he excuses the fact that he doesn't like evangelion because he has shit taste on "because normalfags likes it and is popular"

I'm assuming pic is unrelated because GLT didn't have any romantic elements to it that I can remember. Just a very close friendship that grows throughout the series.

you have to look for anime where the cast is all boys, if there’s any young succubus at all in the main cast it’s 90% chance there’s romance

what friggin anime has only males

 No.26908

A few off the top of my head right now, osomatsusan, tsuritama, haikyuu. All mostly male with only small appearances by females, or the females play insignificant side roles. There's also seinen stuff like one punch or berserk that basically are all about males even though there's females that appear in the stories.

So sick of that shit happening, I swear. It's so easy to pick up on what will have it and what won't without even having to spend minutes on it but even if it goes without a romance most of the time there will be one thrown in last minute like somebody thought to themselves "oh shit, we forgot a romance. Lemme throw one in there real quick. Perfect."
I can't stand it.

At least telenovelas and hollyjew trash show the romance evnetually breaking apart with a tragic conclusion. In anime, MC-kun marries succubus and then it ends, never going beyond that.

Berserk, the manga defined by demon orgies, is non sexual. Not just Griffith's rape orgy ascension scene but also the goat pseudo-apostle orgy and the crusader's wife who cheated on him orgy and the whores-with-hearts-of-gold that are saved from turning into tang.

I don't know why I said that, I meant the whole thing has nothing to do with romantic sex/love, there's no magical, sparkly, anime romance in it. It's gritty and dark and that includes sex and rape, but it's not romance at all.
