Do you think Romance is a good genre in anime? Is it worthwhile

>>159287862
>Honestly it seems like Anime is the only medium where Romance is portrayed well enough to care.
Because its aimed at NEETs who have little to no social interactions outside of the internet

>>159287887
Even if that's true. It really doesn't matter who it's aimed too.

>>159287887
We're talking about the genre here, not your love life, anon.

>>159287862
Romance in anime is pandering garbage for people who get triggered by adult behaviour and emotions. Fine for escapism, terrible in terms of writing quality or depth.

>>159288020
Pandering to who? Otaku virgins?

Cause after Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, Kanatamonogatari, Mawaru Penguindrum I can't see those "self insert" otakus straight up saying "This is the escape from humanity"

>NTR, cheating, swinging, partner swap, sleeping around, prostitution

Read YA trash if you want those things.

"When the well is dry, we know the worth of water."

Why would any other genre bother to extol the virtues of hand-holding, cuddling, and headpats? The producers and consumers of those materials would find such things so pedestrian and common that they don't even notice how precious they seem to the terminally lonely.

As long as it is cute, who gives a shit.

No.
>Is it worthwhile to make?
Shippers are desperate for their fix and will whine at the first thing they don't like so no.

You're a retard.

Romance in anime is only good when it's about cute lesbians.
No one wants to see some generic anime boy with eye length hair and some ditzy slut that's his sister get it on.
Fucking cancer and probably made by and for cuckolds.

Before Tsuki Ga Kirei I would have said it's pretty meh. After, I have hope in it's future? Probably not for long though.

Just reminding you all before you talk shit, that Tsuki ga Kirei just aired and it is one of the greatest articles of romance ever created.

>>159288020
But since it's anime, you'll never get real writing quality or depth. This stuff is just for fun.

>>159287862
Romance in anime is the most shallow shit you can experience.

>>159293820
Is it any good? I can't identify with teenagers in junior high anymore.

>asking about romance in /a/
Most of the faggots here are virgins, the fuck they know about romance?

>>159294420
>believing the /a/ virgin meme
stop projecting nigger

>>159287862
Depends. Romance is good with a little bit of tragedy. Everything is good with tragedy. Think about it - mecha, action, slice of life, romance, mind games, even sport anime - they are empty until something tragic happens. Tragedy is the heart of any sort of art.

>>159287862
Not really. Romance is good as a side plot. Making it the main plot results in stupid drama to keep the story going. With rare exceptions.

>>159287862
Romances are best when they are relatively short and to the point, while the modus operandi of this industry is to drag shit out as long as possible. As a result romances turn into pointless harems, dumb drama fests, repetitive gag series or retarded trainwrecks with NTR or some other crap.
The other problem is that various aspects of a romantic relationship are divided among various genres and target audiences. There are series that focus solely on pre-dating stuff, series that focus on relationship dynamics stuff, series that focus on ecchi stuff and series that focus on H stuff, but it's rare to see a work that explores and combines all aspects of the romance.
Also nips seriously suck at portraying intimacy, on both emotional and physical level.

cheap tragedy is the worst thing possible.
a basic, vanilla romance beats romance with a shitty written tragedy.

yes, at this point of life watching cute anime couples get together is more fun and important than my own romance

>>159293972
Tsuki Ga doesn't expect you to self-insert. You'll feel more like an onlooker than a middleschooler.

>>159288020
So what it's a good romance tell me one.
The notebook?
Lalaland?
Titanic?
Are they better if so this genre needs to die
