Comments

Lock in

As long as Horimiya or My dress up darling lose, I don’t really care who wins

Sam

My dress-up darling will make Flexi blush a few times haha

Shucks

the fragrant flower into horimiya pipeline is REAL. LOVE a romance slot

Oliver Segelhorst

Maison Ikkoku. There is no better Romance Anime out there.

Unholy

Love is War 👌👌👌

Justin Navarrete

I think horimiya is a bit quicker to finish and is really good; but they’re all good

Charles

I've never watched any of these. My vote can be bought though. $1 on venmo

Hildegarde

Love is Peak, I hope it wins. Fk great series

Ecodude

Just watch them all in a romance show slot lol

Charles

This is a joke. Please don't @ me and please nobody do this for real 😆

Just Me

Love is hard for an otaku suggestion here it's underated

Jan Negrey

My Dress Up Darling won once already. Second would be Horimiya to me. Though technically I would prefer Horimiya before MDUD.

Taylah

I love Horimiya 🥰

Shucks

this is crazy

Ajax

The only one I wouldn't vote for is 'Lie in April', but thats because I have not seen it yet. Kaguya, Dress up darling, and Horimiya are all great options!

HxPunisher

I cant say im too fond of Kaguya Sama with its recent treatment in the anime. Hoping for Dress Up Darling tho

Miguel Veyta

Dress up darling all the way

OfficiallyGames

Horimiya best option. Love is war is basically pointless since they've skipped over a bunch of stuff now (literally skipping 100+ chapaters, major arcs and characters development).

D.Pirate.K

PLEASE, my dress up darling😍 buuut, kaguya sama is so damn good, I wouldn't mind if u did that first🥰

Kalab Ford

Damn that's an insane poll, they are all so good

BrokeMillennial

Your lie in april is chefs kiss. Can't wait til she gets to it.

PokeDexs

horimiya is great also its the worst time its watch kaguya-sama

OfficiallyGames

Should react to Horimiya regardless since its finished with only 2 seasons - the 2nd basically just adaptating parts of the manga that were skipped/cut in the first season.

Alpi

Kaguya sama is the one I would highly recommend. Even though I loved the other ones, Kaguya is amazing

Cyber

I really want to watch your lie in April. But I'm willing to wait for it to be watched IN APRIL because it would fit so perfectly with the theme. So maybe my dress up darling? Horimiya was... Ok? I personally like dress up darling a bit more than horimiya. But your lie in April is peak music and romance story telling. (And other stuff about drama and healing that I can't get into)

MoPHL

Your lie in april is fantastic, wouldn't pitch it as a romance, but more of a musical drama. But I love it so voted for it anyway 😊

James B

Your Lie in April is one of my favorites.

Asa Boyes

This year is going to be stacked

Mad Man Moon

Hope we get MDUD and Horimiya both eventually!

SekaiiArts

I feel like she would connect more with dress up darling, as an anime fan and cosplayer

Chris bolieu

Love is war is so freaking good. Best rom com

JC2297

MDUD or Love is war. Both great.

BulldogB

It was between 2 of them, and I choose the one that won't make you bawl your eyes out. Why? Because you've cried enough with MHA. I'll pick the other one next time. 😋

AttackRunRepeat

MDUD is the most wholesome fanservice anime I have ever watched. 100/10 must watch

Chicken_Man06

But they are both sooo good tho?

リュウ

Y’all got this. I’ll be waiting for The Dangers in My Heart’s turn. Peak among peaks.

Shin

Kaguya-sama FTW

Mad Man Moon

I really hope she watches Dangers too, it's sooooo so good!

Sarah H

MDUD won the previous romance poll, didn't it? You just chose to do one of the others out of personal interest, and people told you the other show would be a better introduction to romance anime. I'd say do MDUD now, and then what wins this poll (or comes 2nd, considering MDUD is winning) can be the replacement for that when it's over.

No Swear

My dress Up is overrated, kaguya and horimiya was better

Animakosei

my dress up have ONE big flaw and it's principally just season one if you tank this flaw and appreciate all the other part its really good

Zectorman

Kaguya is amazing and the new 2 parter came out with a movie on the way! Now is the time! But i enjoy the other options too.

xLunaCelestiax

Never would’ve watched Kaguya-Sama without my little brother and I must say I never regretted it. It was really good

Indigo

Kaguya sama is tiers above DD please ppl what are we doing

SageJ

A good set of shows. I am a bit surprised Horimiya is so far down. Get the tissues out if Your Lie in April pulls off an upset.

FlexiejayAnime

Yeah the last poll was just to gauge what people wanted. To see it winning here again is a big sign 🔥

Cameron

I'm kinda disappointed to see it back in a poll instead of on the schedule 😕

Sam

This poll is impossible. But I gotta say… of all rom com animes, kaguya sama is literally the only one where I audibly laughed and cracked up. Shit is good stuff.

jtet

kaguya-sama is so so good hopefully you’ll still watch it someday!

Sarah H

Yeah, I understand doing the newer, more-hyped show first, and of course, you can choose what you want to watch, and we're all along for the ride, but there is definitely a strong percentage of your subscriber base polling for MDUD. I'm glad the interest in it didn't die down after the first romance poll back in September. Excited for whatever wins, but you can guess where my vote lies, lol.

Saku

Your lie in april..... The music is amazing.

Sinhsieusao

Kaguya-sama is the best romcom

Deprox

Kaguya is the best romcom of all time

JBlack

The only romance anime I have ever watched is Golden Time. Which of these should I vote for?

Dominik

As for romantic series, I would like Lovely Complex, an older but great romantic series, incredibly entertaining, which I think Flexie in particular would really enjoy.

Saint Benny

Kaguya is great but unfortunately the dub is the best version to experience it. Subbed goes to Your Lie in April.

aimi stp

Mdud was waiting long time. Many people voted before and now again. It will win.

Isaac Noël

DUD is so good but guys if you havent seen Kaguya honestly it's one of the funniest ones out there, trust me on this!

MESHA

KAGUYA!!!

MESHA

Kaguya sama

Sarah H

It depends on what you liked about Golden Time. If you liked the relationship struggles, including jealousy and misunderstandings, then I think you'd like My Dress Up Darling, as the ship in that has plenty of those struggles, but is less mature as they're in high school instead of college and is overall very lighthearted. It does have fan service if that's a concern, but it serves a purpose rather than just being thrown in for the sake of it, as is often the case in anime. I couldn't get into Kaguya Sama, dropped Horimiya, and haven't seen Your Lie in April, so I can't vouch for them. I'd recommend looking them up and reading the synopses. Ultimately, your vote is yours, so you shouldn't vote for what others tell you to. If you can't decide, it's okay not to vote; sometimes it can be fun to just go along for the ride.

Clarissa

That takes me back +

Shio

Horimiya and Your Lie in April is so good tho😭

Capt'n Ren

One day I hope to see The Dangers In My Heart make this poll.

Capt'n Ren

I agree. Dangers is the peak of diabetes romcoms.

No Swear

I didnt say its bad, but doesnt matter bcs hori and dress up are only 2 seasons so its fast so She Can watch All of them in future

Bravaman

My thoughts exactly

Ryne

I'd probably watch Darling Dress Up or Horimiya reactions, but can't say I'm too interested in the other two.

Cameron

MDUD then Love is War 🤩

Marek Kysela

They’re all good, but I have to admit that Kaguya entertained me and made me laugh the most.

Da OnlyTEEMZ

Kaguya is definitely a good watch!

Topseller

If Love Is War isn’t winning, we’re having actual war.

Zelusive

Honestly since Flexie recently finished Fragrant Flower, I think it's best if she watches Love is War first and then MDUD to get the best of both shows

Malik Ford

I think it’s best she watch your lie in April come on people

Hari Viswanathan akZNIpCfAg

Except For You Lie In April i will be happy with any of them. Preference is Dress Up Darling (I can't handle You Lie In April Heartbreak)

Taka Ii

Guys stop, we need to put her through Your Lie in April. We had to suffer, let's share the pain.

_kags

KAGUYA SAMA GANG RISE UP

Trisha Shapiro

Aww I hope Fruits Basket makes the list next time !

LucaXavo

Only gooner vote for my dress up darling

aimi stp

For me Mdud and The dangers in my heart are the best. There is nothing better than them

aimi stp

It's you poor guy

LucaXavo

Oh someone felt addressed

Sinhsieusao

Kaguya-sama is the definition of romcom

aimi stp

It's not good way to support your anime. You shouldn't belittle others' choices

Nazim Belaidi

Didn't she say that she isn't into fan service? People just don't want listen. She won't like it.

brandon

I don't understand how Kaguya is losing when the comments are overwhelming in support of Kaguya. Frankly, I thought MDUD was alright at best.

LucaXavo

It’s not that deep, bro. I’m not saying this to support my choice. Every other romcom anime is more of a romcom than this. It only got so many votes because of the name, the name is more popular than the others

brandon

Yeah, I love K:LIW, but Fruits Basket is the goat.

Mikkel B. Hansen

Ah nuts. Maybe next time Blue Box gets to shine. My dress up darling it is then :)

Saku

simple. most voters ar not commenting.

Saku

Shigatsu OP and ED top other three. please vote Your Lie in April. also romance is not just romcom. it is not all. about laugh and have a great time. romance personally is about story.

Alexiel

Super rare for me to both know and like all choices. I vote MDUD because it won a poll before and it's a tough decision for me anyway, but I hope you will see all of them eventually.

Ryuuji Gremory

Yeah sometimes it's about getting traumatized and depressed XD.

Alexiel

Always the same with MDUD, ive seen this happening at least 5 times, here is how it will go: - MDUD is leading in a poll - people make a huge fuss about fan service and how the reactor wont like it - reactor will indeed not like the fan service - reactor will love the show overall - reactor cant wait for next season

Shiffer

Kaguya sama is comedy, your lie in april is depresion, dress up darling is for normies, horimiya solos all this shows

Shiffer

horimiya and bunny girl senpai are the best romance anime ever

ViennaBloodCH

I am not sure if i could watch your Reaction to „Your lie in April“ im still not over it 🥹😅

Nazim Belaidi

I think flexie is a bit more sensitive than other reactors. That's just my opinion from what I've seen.

Metastatic Malady

Horimiya has to be the best and greatest romance animal to ever exist. At least, its my favorite. It's perfect!

Username123

Idk is it just me or it your lie in April not really a romance

N7omad

My Dress Up Darling AND Horimiya on the poll?? Flexie why do you have to do me like that and make me choose?? WHY???? Seriously though, both are on my "musts" list for Romance, in my book anyways. The characters are just too good. Voting for Darling because it's my first Romance anime "love". Well, and because it's got the second best Gojo ever!

Rahul

Omg how your lie in April is losing 🥲

Armando

If Your lie in April wins I’m staying subbed, I have yet to see anyone react to it.

Lina

it's soon april again, so a must watch ;)

ViennaBloodCH

The month April is Burnt for me and now im sad again.... >.<

Alpi

Just watched Kaguya again, yeah, that's absolute peak.

Wesley Gills

CMON GUYS LOVE IS WAR IS PEAK PLSSSSS

Fae

We have to do it to her cmon guys, theres an obvious choice here....

Cameron

It is, just not a traditional one

Ryne

If Your Lie in April won, it would just be in the same limbo as A Silent Voice

Wesley Gills

cmon guyssss kaguya has more episodes and its soo good:( SAJJJ

Sparky Reynolds

Does it really matter which one wins, I don't think it effects what she'll do...

Alexiel

If you are thinking about the last romance poll where MDUD won, she explicitely stated there that this was to see what people were interested in and that it wouldnt necessarily be the show she watches next. The "Please vote wisely" makes me scratch my head though. Not sure what she is implying or expecting with that. It's not like we are smart and wise, does she not know us at all? 🤣

Username123

Ik it has some romance, but that’s not really the main focus of the show.

starrynyte -

My Dress Up Darling is definitely a fav, but I do wonder what Flexie will think of the fan service 😆... Horimiya is my choice but hopefully she will watch it at some point!

moozii

as unfortunate it is that horimiya is loosing, my personal vote is going to Your Lie in April... not that that one's winning either lmao but whatever flexie puts out, i will watch it 😆😆😆

Noyes33

I do not think Flexie will like the amount of fan service in dress up darling, don’t get me wrong it’s good. Just please make sure she knows what she is getting into.

Carlos Cantillo

My Dress Up Darling is so sweet, I actually think Flexie would like it a lot for its writing… Love is War is the pinnacle though

DietPop

All these shows are great for their own reasons, if she can handle fire force i think mdud won’t be an issue and she’ll see how peak romance it is. It’s quite ecchi yes and has a couple pointless lewd scenes, but the male lead isn’t a lust goblin kind of guy so that helps it immensely in my opinion.

Saku

Sadly. Majority prefer fun romance. We already have one recently. It would be great if there is a change, to make it interesting and attracting new members.

Kruxx

Kaguya peakkk

Mad Man Moon

I don’t get the people freaking out about MDUD, it s a wonderful show. The people acting like it’s a mindless ecchi show are ridiculous. The ecchi is there - yes, to hook viewers, it more importantly it’s there for very specific character-driven reasons. I’m not going to act like it’s high art, but it’s definitely a top-tier romance (as are others in this list). It’s also just a really darn fun show with great characters. If it really makes people’s feels calm down a bit, the author is a woman.

Mad Man Moon

Wouldn’t call the scenes pointless, but overall agree.

DietPop

Oh don’t get me wrong! It’s one of my absolute favorite manga and anime ever. But on a recent rewatch there are a few shots i guess i should say that truly add nothing and our boy isn’t even involved. Just the random panty shot stuff with some of the other characters that rub people the wrong way.

MESHA

Still it’s unnecessary most parts MDUD is a great story that I feel most people drop because of the Ecchi shit, gojo and marin are both good characters but even i felt weird having to watch the fan service scenes

Tempered Glasses

Yeah, in the first half Gojo is just expanding his domain but then once the plot develops he hits Marin with a Hollow Purple. Good stuff.

Andy

i wish yona of the dawn was on the list plus season 2 just got announced too after 10 years lool

Ray

ermm please not mdud 🤢

Dog

Season One of MDUD is heavier on the fanservice, but if you get past that initially, you come to adore the characters for who they are, what they represent and the messages they convey. It's a feel good story, meant to promote self esteem and self love while telling a high school love story. Season Two takes the good from the first season, tones down the fanservice a few notches, and places it's theme and subject matter first and foremost, which let's it's characters and message shine through. I'd go on to say the second season is more representative of what the show is about, and delivers a core message that more people need to hear these days, showing the good and loving side of exploring your hobbies and being true to who you are. All of that said without mentioning the absolutely phenomenal job Cloverworks did with the animation and sound design / soundtrack of MDUD in both seasons. Technically the show is a treat for the eyes, animated with love and attention, and is a love letter to cosplay in general. To let the fanservice derail that would really be a true shame. In terms of serious non-comedy related romance series, I would say alongside Blue Box and Golden Time, you have one of the best animated romance shows in a long time.

Saku

i can testify on the animation. it was great even tho i only watch the first two eps because of the reason that you stated first. from the previous poll i guess all three other than april are also good. i just a bit bump that w wont see her reacting to april any time soon. i was asking her lat year on April if we have the time to start watching it on the same month, that would be poetic. i hope one day we will.

RJ Farris

I see it's not going to win, but Horimiya is so good. So well paced and such a great experience.

Taylah

I know right! It's so good, I hope Flexie will eventually react to it 😭

Zo

Mad Man Moon

They're both great. Trashing shows and fans like this is not it.

Mad Man Moon

That and MDUD are my favorites on this poll. Hope she watches both of them.

aimi stp

Definitely Super star get a lot of haters.

Ryne

Alternatively, it's possible that they just like the themes and tropes more. Kaguya-sama is a good series, but personally, it felt more like a comedy than a romance to me, so I dropped it midway through season 2.

Cameron

Your lie in April is absolutely peak, but it's really heavy emotionally where the rest are a bit more silly in most ways.

Alexiel

Thats a bit how I feel about Kaguya as well, its outstanding with the comedy and to be fair, the romance is on par as well, I just dont ship them as much as some other coupes like the one in MDUD. so im a little more invested in the comedy than in the romance there. But thats marginal and only personal preference. Also, if she ever watches Kaguya (which I hope) and we get to the OVA, you will have to explain yourself for that take on MDUD fans ;).

Alexiel

Sorry for late reply. Maybe so, but ive seen several other reactors that are sensitive about this topic and a part of their community was very against this show because of it, like The React Pack or Carlie & Ange. It still won and both loved the show and continued with season 2. Still, its fair to at least warn Flexie about it and let her decide.

Nazim Belaidi

I'm a big fan of carlie and ange and I'm telling you they're not sensitive at all to fan service but my dress up darling just takes it to a whole new level. The amount of fan service especially in the anime made me just flat out not watch it unless I hear it's one of the greatest shows ever which it isn't obviously. I think the fact that it won last time poll and she still didn't watch it is a clear evidence for me. But anyway, maybe she likes it if she watches it. I do want say that I'm rooting for kaguya though. That's my favorite romance/comedy anime.

Alexiel

At least there were several such posts when they had the poll with MDUD winning. Anyway, id be happy with a Kaguya reaction as well if she doesnt want to deal with the fan service. But I dont want her to get the impression that that's all what MDUD is about.

Nazim Belaidi

I think that if the show had no fan service, it wouldn't get even 20% of this popularity. That's just my humble opinion. It doesn't mean it's not good. Popularity has nothing to do with that. I'm just discussing the impact of fan service.

GawkyGamez

I wish my dress up darling has less fan service as it does have decent plot
