Why did this have to suck so much? Why do romance anime in general suck so hard?
Does nobody remember this show?

The girls aren't cute enough
You know the romance had nothing to do with golden time sucking.

I never got why fictional characters being in college was considered such a big deal to some people. It's not like there aren't ten million stories in existence about college kids, or like college kids don't have significant overlap behavior-wise with highschool kids, or like they can't act however the fuck the author wants anyway, since they aren't real. Hell, just in general anonas seem to have bizarrely high expectations for any setting that isn't highschool, even if it's super generic in its own right.

They didn't know how it would end because they started the anime before the LNs ended, then they had to adapt the whole last LN into just one episode but had to have the set up before it be open to having it end in a couple different ways.That's why the last episode in particular was a giant mess.
Also not knowing exactly how it would end is why they always alluded to it being Linda directly making him fall off the bridge since they showed the scooter in his flashback, but then forgot about that later by the end and never mentioned it. If she really did do it then it would explain why she was so guilty about Banri's past.
I know the whole point of the anime is to push the LNs, but they should really use this as an example as to why you should hear from the author exactly how the series is going to end before you start working on it.
Still really liked it though despite its flaws. Ghost Banri was one of the best villians I've seen in a long time.

I didn't even watch it and I remember Koko.

>Why did this have to suck so much?
that horrible memory loss cliche.
that forced drama.
that nonexistent plot.
that shit MC.
golden time is what happens when authors acclimate to writing cookie cutter high school shows. they fuck up on new things then fallback to old habits.

when seemingly every anime is a generic highschool show the exceptions stand out. people put their expectations into them.
>>149883649
But Koko is the cutest.

And I'm saying that's dumb. "They're in college" is not a particularly great or inventive setting, there's no reason to have unusually high expectations for that. Not to mention that it's from an author who does plenty of highschool romances, so you really shouldn't be expecting much different just because the characters' fictional age is two years older. And also not mentioning that it had one of the worst directors in the entire industry, who's done several college romances and not a single good one (I suppose you could argue Nodame S2-3 were still watchable, but they're certainly nowhere near as good as S1 or the manga). Anyone seriously going into this thinking it'd have unusually mature relationships was deluding themselves on stupid grounds.

we're dealing with typical slightly casual watchers.
>see new series
>it's a college setting
>invest hopes
that's all it amounts to. it's not like they do any research whatsoever when building their expectations. don't waste your time complaining about them.
>>149881845
I remember this show I just don't want to reply to such a stupid OP
Koko a caca

>>149884366
Fuck you, the whole 3 seasons of Nodame were good.
>>149888252
Tada banlee desu
>>149881470
Was hoping this would be at least as good as Toradora but fuck it she just had to go and add amnesia, ghosts ruining everything, onii-san getting ntr'd and other shit to it.
>>149888463It was still better than Ever Green.
