TheInstigatorits definitely wacky and jumps the shark at times but it's also hilarious, entertaining, and had me in shambles multiple times with its unpredictable relationship dynamics. That last part is what is missing in modern day romance / rom com anime besides Fruits Basket (which doesn't even really count tbh since its such an old manga)
need more college setting rom coms/slice of life tbh
Jan 16, 2024·1 replyTheInstigatorthat was kinda my issue with the first episode. I just didn't much care about any character. Yuki and Itsuomi just feel like shoujo fantasy characters. Maybe I'm getting too old but its just so trope-y with the typical big masculine protector with the small infantilized girl trying to see into each others worlds. I also just find that A Silent Voice handled the dynamic in a far more real way. I love romance anime but lately I have been feeling most of the new series are just so predictable now (dress up darling, angel next door, horimiya, tonikawa, sing yesterday for me, kaguya, etc.). I still enjoy some of those because theyre entertaining but I miss the days of shows like Golden Time, Maid Sama, Kimi Ni Todoke, your lie in april, etc. where there were real conflicts and it wasn't just a straight up predictable speed run of two characters ending up together.
Apart from Fruits Basket, my other fav romance anime I've seen this decade were probably Skip to Loafer and Fuukoi because those brought those vibes that I want to see in the genre

havent started s2 yet but my impression of s1 was that its a cute and fun show but very predictable like what I feel about every rom com show right now

Hmm I've only watched Kimi ni todoke out of those four you've mentioned, and tbh the whole drama of season 2 felt rather stupid to me.
But all four of them are 20+ episodes. I think most of the new romance series don't even have enough episodes yet to develop what you are looking for.
