I think I can explain a bit of what you might mean. Because I can cite an example of a title I have similar feelings about. I loved it but, Freiren is not an epic quest fantasy. (pause for screaming to die down) There is a distinct lack of the most critical element, a final boss. It is however, very well written to appeal to fans of the genre. Makeine is to rom-com what Freiren is to the epic quest fantasy,

actually goated, whoever won that by 1 vote, you are a god.

The author of Losing Heroines has stated that Dangers and Love is War are some of their favourite romantic manga, and Yanami's name and love of eating are definitely inspired by Yamada from Dangers :)

This was PEAK from last season

Kaushal Banninthaya

Yeah! Please do watch the OP and ED throughout the season as they change every arc

Kaushal Banninthaya

Yeah it's basically like BokuYaba and Tensura and such where two words and smushed together.

Kaushal Banninthaya

Prez and Cara calling A-1 Pictures' background characters as future important characters just shows how GOATed the animation is in this anime. Almost every background and background character are detailed and animated.

Kaushal Banninthaya

No, mine did

I have read the light novel it’s also fun to read

Robert Sanders

Animation quality and sound track on this one show how much the studio put into this anime.

MY VOTE MATTERED LETS GOOO

Damn, was really hoping Angel would win since Season 2 is going to start soon

Kyle Wilber

No offense to Angel next door it’s a decent series but losing heroines clears it easy This is the same studio (A1) that did 86 so the quality is high I think if this is a one and done show it’ll end up being a cult classic based on the characters, story, and animation quality throughout its so high quality Also Lemon same VA as Momo from Danadan which gives her some best girl points

Pedro Lobo

It is, it's listed in the industry as a romcom, so it is. We are not the ones who decide that.

I think a lot of people pronounce the short name for this wrong. It’s a title that trips people up, because knowing a little bit of Japanese actually makes you more likely to pronounce it wrong (literally “a small amount of knowledge is a dangerous thing”!) Boring explanation here (feel free to ignore): Make-heroine (負けヒロイン) comes from makeru (負ける), meaning “to lose”, and heroine (which is pronounced like “hero in” in Japanese, and isn’t a homophone of any illegal substances), and it’s a word only used amongst romcom (ラブコメ) otaku in Japan (especially including harem fans, of course), even a lot of anime otaku in Japan don’t really use it. Nao Toyama is a voice actress famous amount fans for always playing the “make-heroine” character in anime (she was Tomoe Koga in Bunnygirl Senpai) and that’s where I first heard this word used. The fact that she isn’t in this show borders on being a crime! Anyway, “Makeine” (stylised as 負けイン) is just the first part of makeru combined with the last part of heroine (so I guess it should be written “Make-ine”), and that’s how it should be pronounced (although you need to take care to pronounce the e and the i in the middle separately and distinctly, otherwise you end up just saying “McCain” and make me want some proper oven chips). In Japan this is just a fan nickname and a hashtag to tweet about the show, but the translators decided to make it part of the official title for some reason (I will continue to call it “Losing Heroines”, though, because I’m old and stubborn). tl;dr - It’s pronounced “Ma” “Keh” “Inn” as three syllables* *for the people who say “4 actually”, I don’t want to disagree, but let’s not get into what is or isn’t a syllable in Japanese, that’s a mess well above my pay grade.

It really isn't....i can't explain it now why it isn't.

Tittus

finally someone said it. A very good romance anime but not enough reaction materials.

Pedro Lobo

And I thank you for that!

Enrique 99

Oh fak, another month for me, this is peak

Pedro Lobo

A heads up about the opening. It's safe to watch already, there are no spoilers in it. The only thing you still didn't see that it's in the opening, is the appearance of some characters that didn't appear in episode 1, but they just show them and that's it, so it's free of spoilers.

Sean Mcguinness

It's different than most in the genre though, even outside of anime. Since you're not really rooting for the main character to be with someone, and instead It's like a bunch of other RomCom stories are going on and our MC's are on the losing side.

Sean Mcguinness

Oh Damn, I voted for this last minute when my other vote (Toradora) was too far behind!

Pedro Lobo

It's a romance with comedy, that's literally a rom-com.

Maleny

wow, a single vote. democracy matters for once

Kelvin

It's a known trope that the Childhood friend with short blue hair always loses in romance. This series uses many of those tropes for side love interests as the basis for our main heroine cast. I would say this show did an excellent job at showing the nuances of romance and relationships, real life isn't like an anime (ironically enough). These girls after being rejected by their supposedly male protagonist love interest, have to move on, while contending with existing relationships.

JAMES D'ALESSANDRO

Great show...it's not a rom-com though...it's like a reverse rom-com

Ropo Studios

This show is going to be a blast!

toeppoki supremacy

So happy this anime won. One of my favorite romcoms. Makeine also has an amazing cast: from Lemon (Momo from dandadan) to litterature club vice-prez (Frieren) to silver haired glasses (Stark).

Roger Powell

FYI: A1 made different ED's for each character arc with a subtle change at the closure of each arc. Just another indication of how much love the studio put into this title.

Painfoot

Angel next door is very popular but there’s not much to react to. But this is a blast.

Hari Viswanathan akZNIpCfAg

Aah Man!! I wanted Angel to Win But Oh well. This is great too

Roger Powell

Finally got a spit take out of Prez! 🤤 Gosh we had so much fun last summer!. The fandom for this title was a great non-toxic giggle fest. The official X account did an awesome job, posting stuff like Yanami's weekly calorie count and updated relationship charts.

Pedro Lobo

I was torn between Toradora and Oregairu.

Pedro Lobo

YES!!

Niyabinghi

This anime honestly looks gorgeous. My favorite aspect

Crofo

I’m so glad I switched my vote from Toradora to Heroines. They do still need to watch Toradora, but this is far better than anything Angel has to offer
