Just normal Sydney

@@Kongaii are u fr

Just Sydney being Sydney

Have you... seen Sydney EXIST before?

@@izumitodoroki-ej6wmyeah I don’t know how to tell you this but Sydney is just kinda like that

No way Golden Time was actually Placed at S-tier. I saw the thumbnail and prayed to god that it was a clickbait. GOLDEN TIME IN S-TIER?! C'mon Garnt

​@@jke680 why not?

​@@jke680TF is you talking about?? It's one of the best romance, my favourite even

​@@jke680Haven't seen Golden Time but I'm pretty sure than both Domestic Girlfriend and Rent a Girlfriend being S tier are more debatable lmao

Shut tf up we dont wanna hear brainrot peoples opinion​@@jke680

Naw. I actually rewatched Toradora recently. Shes actually REALLY fucking aggressive for like half the series. I dont mean like tsun tsun mean words, like physically assaulting him. Granted, for me it makes the second half of the series that much sweeter. Would put it higher on the list than they did.

Whoever doesn't get the appeal of Nagatoro probably has extremely low t, I see no other explanation. A cute sporty and extremely energetic tanned girl who teases you daily in an very sexual way is a peak fantasy of every straight man. It's so much better than all those frigid kuderes and tsunderes that need 3 seasons of courting and warming up just to hold hands.

Correct, at least Nagatoro going out with mc is so cute in the manga ^^

I think the worst Nagatoro isnt even close to normal Taiga. Initial Taiga tough? Serial killer, psycho and totally crazy

nah man rewatch toradora, the female mc actually throws hands

part 2

No relife either

I think both of them wouldn't like anime like Oregairu. Like... It's Sydney and Garnt. Oregairu is almost the opposite of the types of show they enjoy.

Or even hyouka that show was the best Ln adaptation I have seen

​@@rumplstiltztinkerstein garnt said that if he had watched OreGairu S3 in 2020 It would've been his anime of the year but as he didn't got the time to re-watch the whole thing he picked Re:zero

I was like Hey, cool outro cover song, sounds familiar, I wonder what is the original *looking in the comments* Ain't no way!

I was just coming down here to comment that. I was like "did Garnt just...rickroll us in Jpop?"

It’s an absolute banger cover by Caitlin Myers et al. Some supreme harmonies in there.

it was just meh tbh

Yeah, He has actually used in a vidoe before this, on of his seasonal anime vids I think

Literally I cant.

He is beyond saving man

He completely forgot the whole theme of the list lmao. It’s about how good the romance is, not how much you can’t look away from the romance. And RAGF is as bad of a romance as you can get.

it's prob. the goat in romance genre.. btw am serious

Hahaha yeah. That's crazy LMAO

it's funny how different his opinion is 10 years ago lmao

YLIA was the worst anime I have watched so far (I’ve watched Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, My Dress Up Darling, Steins;Gate, Naruto, and Toradora)

Bros really out here doing gods work 🙏

Wtf no Clannad? Mid list

@@OK-mv4ih No chuunibyou? F tier list.

No clannaf or oregairu just sad haha

W

It broke mine.

I watched it recently and I gotta say, it's trash, but it's the good kind

@@Bronimin agreed

that isnt a joke?

Domestic Gf shouldn't even be on that list jesus, that anime is a waste of time and honestly know there are better romances to put up there rather than that.

You should have known what was coming if Sydney is on the screen.

Yeah. Rookie error.

You should always be prepared when Sydney is in the thumbnail

wear earbuds dude wtf

Cool pfp bro Never seen it before

Exactly! You can feel natural chemistry. Not enough anime do romance like that. Spice and wolf and Steins gate are two other anime that don't make the romance the focus but the chemistry is excellent.

Gotta comment so people see this

Where is golden time

Thank you

atleast they're both right in immediately putting Love is War and the Monogatari series in S

@@vosamul Kaguya sama nowhere near S tier for the romane, the comedy is top tier though

@@rifqimfauzan6809 Comedy was boring af, went thru whole episodes not laughing once and some annoying af characters. Watch more comedy anime, then you'll know what actually funny

@@OK-mv4ih there is difference between comedy in romance and actual comedy anime. For romance anime Kaguya comedy was top compare to other romcom anime but if you compare it to actual comedy anime like Chiyo, Asobi Asobase, Danshi Kokosei, Hinamatsuri, JK Mudazukai etc yes it was boring. For another example of top romcom is Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun or Tsurezure Children

only someone as equally insufferable deserves to be with another lol

Lol😂

I really dont get that one tbh. Mai is such an insufferable piece of shit with how she sadistically hurts him. I get that like 90% of anime fans seem to be masochists, but she is genuinely completely nonconsensual in how she does it. Yes, he "enjoys" it, but she never stops to obtain consent or even to check his boundaries, mainly because that has literally nothing to do with why she does it. She does it because she is upset or feeling sadistic. How does someone who isnt a supreme masochist enjoy anything involving her? The fact that they put bunny girl above dress up darling, which is a healthy romance, is just appalling to me.

​@@_Lumiere_ This is probably... Well, not the worst analysis I've ever seen, but definitely one of them. This take is so shallow, straightforward and dumb, one can't even make this up for trolling. I'm not saying that the majority is always correct, but the fact that this anime is so well received should at least motivate you to look a bit deeper into the characters and their interactions, idk. Or maybe rewatch the thing more thoroughly. However such arguments often set you against the anime itself, so you can't even make an objective take on this. "Nah, everything is obvious, the show is trash" is the most i expect from your response tbh. Some personal insults are also welcome (well, kinda deserved since i might've gone a bit too far but still)

@@perchatka This is a long reply, so let me just say that I dont think that anyone is wrong for liking that show. After all, we are all just voicing our opinions. If you're interested, here's why I dislike the romance in Bunny Girl Senpai. Here's the thing, I can acknowledge that there is some deep romance and otherwise interesting character development in a story. But at the same time a story may gloss over some glaring flaw like physical abuse. Perhaps there's some story with a prince who kidnaps a maiden and forces her to sleep with him, but then they fall in love and their romance ends up being the most well-written thing ever. I can acknowledge the interesting characters and the deep romance, but I would not be able to shake the terrible thing that that love was built on. Or perhaps it's a story of a master and a slave who fall in love and their romance is so deep and nice, but every now and then the master puts his foot down and beats the slave over some transgression. Then everything goes back to being lovey dovey. I would acknowledge the depth of the writing, but I would not enjoy the romance. These examples are exaggerations, but it really is as simple as that. That's how I felt about Horimiya. I didnt like how Hori would get jealous over him talking to another girl, to the point that she straight up threw heavy books in his face (while he was wearing glasses). That would hurt like a motherfucker and would personally be unforgivable for me in a real relationship. So I cant view that as a healthy romance even if it's otherwise written well. I also cant stand how she forces him to act "dominant" and abusive towards her in public without considering his own boundaries about that. That's something that's personal to me as I'm involved in such play myself. That's also what's happening here. Mai is objectively abusing him without actually checking with him that it is ok, as you would do in a bdsm relationship. It doesnt matter if he "likes it". Even if a sub says that they like something, you dont do these things unprompted. You discuss these things and regularly check in with them to see if it's truly ok and that they arent just playing along for you. Mai doesnt even approach this from that kind of standpoint, she just does it because she wants to. This stuff is very close to my heart, so when I see something being done in such an unhealthy way, that taints the entire story and the entire relationship for me. So, unless you can somehow prove to me that what I said is wrong, how exactly is this the "worst analysis you've ever seen"? Does she sit down with him and respectfully discuss his boundaries, what he is ok with and what he isnt ok with, or does she just slap him and step on his foot unprompted? Call him names? And does she do this as a well-defined "bedroom play" or does she simply slap him because she is angry? In an attempt to force him to apologize to her without respectfully considering his side? Can you truthfully answer any of these questions without it seeming like an abusive relationship? Objectively speaking? I cant think of this as some fluffy romance when this is what I'm presented with in the show. And that's as someone who actually does enjoy the whole kink thing irl. Perhaps that's why this aspect of the show ruins it for me, because I can't stand seeing it done in an unhealthy way, it's too close to home. There is a lack of basic respect in this dynamic. But if you can dismiss all these things and if you like masochistic fiction without caring for boundaries or consent (and there's nothing wrong really with liking a fantasy like that, as long as it is a fantasy), then I'm sure the show is great. I won't deny that the characters or plot may be interesting. But abusive, unbalanced relationships are a dealbreaker for me when it comes to enjoying a romance that isnt a sexual fantasy. For me, a "perfect" fictional romance is one that I would actually tolerate seeing in real life. I would never tolerate nor want to see an irl relationship like the one in Bunny Girl Senpai and so that romance will never be on top of my list, even if it may have well-written elements. In contrast, while I'm not like Gojo myself, if I were in his shoes I would be happy with a relationship with Marin. I can view that as a nice example of a romance.

@@_Lumiere_ oh, so this goes even deeper into the things i hate in modern society - the Abuse witnesses. I rarely talk about this shit, but i actually have something to say. First, about the relationship in the anime. Sakuta clearly showed Mai that he doesn't mind this kind of teasing and he actually kinda likes it. Also Mai (and us viewers as well) knows Sakuta's character pretty well, so if he didn't like anything about what she did he would definitely tell her. They're ok, i don't worry about how their relationships go because i know they'll be good. Then about the social aspect of abuse. If the culture doesn't let some people cope with abuse (middle east or anything like that) then we can't do anything about that, it takes a very long time to reform a culture. If you live in a more liberal environment then it's all your choice how to deal with your abusive partner and whether to keep them your partner at all. In this case it's only your fault that you're being abused. Marriage, kids? Then you've made a mistake the very moment you married, it's just the consequences of your choice. Divorce is still an option after all. People these days tend to keep yapping about their problems and disturb everyone around them instead of trying to deal with those problems. In my opinion this is a sign of mental weakness. And this is what i never want to think about while discussing anime.

Also my favorite chuunibyou de koi shintai

Clanned also

dangers in my heart is so overhype, its not a terrible romance at any means but its not one of the best

Lovely Complex would be another missing. That said, if a romance story isn't finished, it really shouldn't be on the list, or just automatically dumped into a "Not finished" tier. Because, sure, some shows are trash from start to finish (Domestic Girlfriend), and even the worst possible ending (worst girl wins) won't drag it down any further, but if a show can't stick the landing, it doesn't deserve to be rated highly. And never getting to the landing part means they haven't stuck it yet.

Clannad bro CLANNAD. The peak of romance and it's not even there

Thats what I was thinking

They're really sleeping on the best romance anime, period.

confirmed

there are a TON more anime that could be on this list, but Dangers of my heart is the most criminal for sure

The Angel next door spoils me rotten, tamako love story, strawberry panic, chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai, saenai heroine no sodatekata AND the dangers in my heart were missing

Man I was on my way to comment this as well. Same 100 girlfriends.

Don't give Crunchyroll any ideas, damn it.

Let's not forget that at a panel Patrick seitz while using gamagori's voice made a love confession to mako. And yelled out it's Canon bitches

Gamagori's a good guy. Fiercely loyal and has a strong code of conduct.

Just makes me think of that jpeg of a hamster eating a banana.

Yeah the sheer amount of trash that made it to S-A without any justification was nuts.

she's biased af who's surprised

​@@Hawk7886can you get your incel ass out of here?

Garnt is always like this. He purposefully didn't put Clannad on the list, such a spiteful guy

@@OK-mv4ih He didn't finish Clannad

Planetarian and other robot girl stories are also missing. It's not meant to be complete.

I was more shocked there was no oregairu🤷‍♂️

Ikr? Wotakoi went under the radar for Garnt and sydney i guess

Same but also wondering where Orange is at. How can you do a romance list without best bro who takes the long term L but actually gets a massive W in the end.

True

No love for Ichigo 100% (The Manga, the anime died at ep 2 due to changes) Lovely Complex Ai yori Aoishi School Rumble Golden Boy (Technically, travel romcom)

Yeah and it was also robbed of not having a second season (even though I haven't even watched the first haha) Probably the best yuri, the story isn't anything crazy but the characters are really really good and the execution is almost flawless

Yeah, it's one of the few adaptation where you can just continue in the manga where the anime left off with how loyal it is to the source material.

Still hoping for S2... But we only got one Yuri this year so far, with this pace it ain't gonna happen..

True, and has way different approach to the subject of love than every other romance on the list. (Slight spoilers below) I hate when romance shows just finds two characters and they like each other from the start or after one event. Instead love in real life is more active, you have to put in effort and time to fall in love, it won't just happen. Which is the main theme of the show.

Yeah, Bloom Into You continues its streak of being robbed in this video.

I watched Toradora recently and In the running in the stairs scene I think Minorin Gaslight Ryuji into thinking he loves Taiga because imo he definitely loved Minorin. (This is definitely not my copium that I wanted Minorin and Ryuji to be together)

@@pranavbatra6286 it takes more than just one breaf interaction to properly convince someone

Something that most people won't pick up on watching Toradora as well, is that Taiga is a fundamentally broken character. What she says/how she acts/what she actually things never seems to line up properly. In the last few episodes, where she's actively trying to lie to herself and everyone around her really shows how far gone she is mentally into this disillusioned state where she can never be important to anyone. The characters in this show were absolute peak writing, S tier for life.

Tsurezure Children was one of the best cute romance anime ever. Takano and Sugawara was my favorite couple.

I'd recommend reading the manga if you haven't! It's completed, and actually my favourite couple in the series are only in the manga, definitely worth it.

Same! Best romance ever

​@@cedricmichaud552 yeah agreed, Takano x Sugawara is the most interesting couple 👍🏼

It's really nice, I would put it up high but it's also really short. If I remember correctly the episodes were 5 minutes

I loved how it went from "it felt all icky and incestuous" to "TWINCEST IS WINCEST AMIRITE!" with Syd.

Sydney being BASED

And they're both over Bloom Into You, somehow.

I love Tsuredure Children. It's like they took the high school romance things and distilled it to its purest form. Too bad it never got more anime adaption.

Tsuredure children shouldve definitely been given a second season tbh

Yes sir cried in one episode TWICE deserves S tier

Overrated mid show with cringe romance and bad character design

@@kingdoom5022 ok ur opinion 👍

I like the character design but it is a mid show.

​@@kingdoom5022watched Vinland Saga I have no haters, I love you 😀

Lmaoooo... He looks so uncomfortable when she starts bashing on it.

Oh they was some birds

He will contort his own prior statements and beliefs just to simp for Domestic Girlfriend. That show must have donated him a kidney. Only explanation on why he loves it so much.

I have seen the "taiga realizes she's in love" scene a million times and I still love it

@@dadaucha It still fking breaks me every single time. i can't listen to "lost my pieces" without tearing up like im a fking pavlovian dog.

@@simonenoli4418 "lost my pieces" is brutal. I watched the 3 Christmas episodes every year for Christmas as kind of a tradition (stopped when I had kids, lack of time)

Surprised that Toradora is in the list, because that anime is anything, but romance, lol.

@@Dar-El_Akai if you fail to see tje rom of the romcom you missed 50% of the anime.

Kaichu was goood

And Kimi ni todoke

Because all shoujo series are garbage

I’m waiting for Re:LIFE 🗿 One of the best romance anime the manga ending is perfect

Also My Little Monster

Miscommunication was the most fun part of the show. It was so entertaining to watch. Give me MORE miscommunication situations please.

I'd wager he's of the opinion that that makes it a good *comedy* but a painfully slow *romance*.

@@gregoryfolsom7882 Now THAT does make some sense yeah.

the comedy is A tier prob S, but the romance meh

Thank you! Someone gets it!

you should've known better

second opening is epic, first half of the show is epic. But man, the second half of golden time REALLY killed it. Not enough to make it a terrible show but god that ending hurt me with how much bad writing was in it, felt so rushed (at least in the anime)

@@nebula8893 It's true that it's rushed, but it was a great emotional rollercoaster (and I don't even know why I liked it so much)

@@nebula8893 The only rushed segment I remember was the amnesia episode. Can you elaborate on that?

Have finished the video yet.. Oregairu is not on here !???? What

That second half was so bad. I still can't believe how much love some people have for it. At one point it was like the #1 or #2 rated romance anime and it should have never been there

There was a bunch of skipped content that got haphazardly piled into the second season, so yeah, the whole story was very condensed, but the romance and development between Hori and Miyamura was what we were there for in the first place, so I still liked it. Yes, "Oh no, he's hot" - The Animated Series is definitely a favorite. Also, Sakura got done dirty, change my mind.

It skipped through fillers. It didn't need to take 3 seasons for two people to confess to each other.

Better than the slow walks in anime where you need 3 seasons just to get together 🫠

Romance, D-tier Comedy, S-tier

@@viciousoz4188 Lmao no the "comedy" is corny af. Classic unfunny anime comedy. Watch some actually good comedy anime

It’s an SS, I love it so much. The thing is like, Taiga isn’t even a tsundere. She’s just violent (especially in the start) and how Taiga and Ryūji just grow to be dependent on each other and needing eachother aaa, I love it!

@@Vrileyeah, that’s exactly what they said. Too much tsun and no dere until the end. I feel bad for ryujin. His eyes have been poked out more times than I can count. He is called a stupid mutt on a daily basis

Garnt sold his soul and fell for the I'm an adult so I must conform meme sadly.

bro, me either. Toradora is a freaking masterpiece

@@Vrile yeah, for people who have only senn romance in anime, lol.

Sexist garbage

The anime is only at 6% completion. And to my understanding the manga is around 35%. You can't judge it yet.

​@@takeru3159Nagatoro (roughly 60 chapters yet to be adapted) and Komi-san (250+) are both still running. Yes you CAN absolutely judge a romance/harem just on it's early stages.

Is it really a romance when it's the equivalent of completing a Pokedex?

@@TuxedoKamina the list is romance/harem, and even then, Rentarou absolutely romances every single one of his girlfriends.

Yeah... it's definitely a romance. If you think it isn't... then I guess you haven't even seen it properly

They both should have been B tier.

Chat cooked so Sydney could burn down the whole kitchen

I can understand DxD but rating To Love-Ru as anything but worst romance anime is awful (For the record, I followed TLR from it's beginning of publication to the end, I gave up because Darkness is just porn)

@@ZeroXSEED not that there's anything WRONG with that...

I agree with you, there wasn't a lot of romance in dxd, and the development of the relationship was so-so. This anime is about hot girls, not about romance. I think they should have created a meme gallery to separate great works from great trash.

its not, dont get me wrong its not a bad romance, its really good, but theres no way its peak romance

​@@MitsuboshiHikarufor pure and innocent romance in a high school setting it is as good as you will find. If you like more "mature" or dramatic romance than it's not.

​@@MitsuboshiHikaruyou just has bad attention span because this anime has a lot of subtle and little details,show u one of the most realistic romance setting in middle school with one of the best dynamic and development. Don't expect some heavy drama shit or mature theme because the setting is in middle school, u should understand the character and the setting first before watching an anime.

@@MitsuboshiHikaru People are so used to silly stereotypes, love triangles and unnecessary drama.... Dangers is undoubtedly an S+ level romance, although it doesn't bring anything new to the genre (which is impossible really), what's interesting is how realistic and meticulously well written it is, its main characters break romantic stereotypes and thanks to that they come to life, it's like watching two real teenagers interact with each other, getting to know each other, falling in love and getting over each other thanks to their partner. It perfectly understands the formation and feeling of the first love that arises in adolescence, criticizes the superficiality in relationships and gives a beautiful message about true love and the importance of a genuine bond. A romance that transmits so much without saying it beforehand and directly? Undoubtedly a masterpiece of showing and not telling, if it were to be analyzed in depth you would realize the enormous narrative potential it has and how well done it is.

🤨

Because best girl (ichika) Didn’t win

One of the things I think QQ did really well is hide the main character perspective from us. And I think that was done really well since if we started to notice from his perspective which girl started to become more special to him as the arcs went by there wouldn't be too much of a mystery or surprise. I think that is the biggest problem and I can understand the argument that the romance of QQ suffers because of that, since I think the main focus was the mystery and not the romance - at least from Fuutarou perspective. So I can understand if it feels out of nowhere at first, like the main guy just chose someone just because. I agree the ending was rushed but I don't think it ruins what came before, since if you really paid attention to the signs given the only real option for the winner was only between 2 choices out of the 5 and only one of those would have felt out of nowhere - which thankfully it wasn't the winner (Itsuki). The fact that people were able to make a 40+ doc page theory of the winner waaaay before the decision was made and was right is a bit of proof of that.

Komi isn't much of a romance but it does have sprinkles in there Golden time is a mess though. It tried to be a romance with other genres and sucked those last 10 episodes

There are two things that cause them to dislike the "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" anime: 1. They don't like anime with a sad intention can also be seen from the ratings of Your Lie in April and Angel Beats!. Especially for Your Lie in April objectively, the sad romantic execution accompanied by beautiful classical music is at least at the B-tier. 2. Their romance taste is trash. Many anime in the high tier are rated based on their fetishes such as domekano, yosuga no sora, high school dxd, rent a girlfriend, etc.

Bruh

Oh no

Ik right I thought it was gonna be an immediate S tier or something turns out it ain’t there ☠️

I don't remember the video but Garnt put alongside Kubo-san so that's how you know that he probably doesn't know how good it got and probably thought of as the 'average romcom 6/10 of the season'

@@ShotterGames dayum that’s crazy ☠️

@@ShotterGames He's insane.

@@ShotterGames Damn, it's one one of my favorite animes oat, favorite romance anime for sure

Absolutely love Kare Kano ❤️

That's one of the very few high rated shows I personally didn't like as much. And generally I like shoujo stuff. I've even seen the OG adaptation back in the day. But I coudn't care about the romance, because I didn't really like any of the characters.

I didn't watch the full second season because of the shift in writing but from what I remember it had basically no romance. Just comedy and pain disguised through comedy. Amazing first season though. It's one of the anime that made me laugh the emost

Would be S tier, similar vibes to The World God Only Knows

@@RetroSmoo Except there's *zero* question if he really loves them back.
