🚨DANGERS REPLACEMENT POLL🚨(CLOSED)
🕑 Added 2024-12-16 20:00:33 +0000 UTCThis might've been the hardest poll to make! We honestly had about 12 contenders but decided on these final 7 (we were aiming for 5 MAX😅)
There is of course some snubs but we chose to leave some for other polls or felt like right now isn't the best time for us to watch them yet (e.g. 100 Girlfriends, Clannad, Komi can't communicate etc.)

Cmooooon Too Many Losing Heroines, a few more votes guys, we can do it!
Charles Baldwin
Romantic Killer is such an overlooked gem.
Billy Nowosielski
Looking forward to angel being watched will be diabetes injections each episode 🤣
Pedro Lobo
Yeah it can change with each poll, specially when you put so many heavy hitters in the same poll. Toradora and Oregairu are acclaimed as 2 of the greatest romances of all time, but Alya, Tomo-chan, Angel Next Door and Too Many Losing Heroines are more recent shows, so they happen to get more votes due to recency. Angel Next Door was heavily loved by many ppl who watched it, and Losing Heroines was the biggest surprise of the year for many, as almost nobody knew about it, but it surprised everyone with the quality of the show.
Cara&Prez
The reason we always re-do polls is to see what everyone wants to see at this time, for example last time Alya and Tomo Chan came in 2nd behind Dangers, now they're both bottom 2😂
Pedro Lobo
That's a good idea too... both short 1 season shows.
Pedro Lobo
OR... Just an idea... You could react to both! 😎
Trencha
Is there any consideration for watching both shows in order, since the poll is so close, rather than doing a new poll after you finish watching whichever show wins? Both Angel Next Door and Makeine are only 1 season each currently, so I think it'd make sense.

Loosing too many heroine Want Toradora to win, not only is it a good anime but everything on this list is influence by it as one the most popular OG Romcoms. but base on the ones ahead I pick Loosing too many heroine, With that said this is a good list, Tomo etc are underrated but very funny.
Cara&Prez
We might have to count the votes😂
Pedro Lobo
Damn this poll's contest is crazy... both shows with the same % since around 17% and always going up together...
Trencha
This is looking very close. I'm hoping Angel Next Door wins. I have heard great things about Makeine and I'm sure it would be a worthy winner too, but I haven't seen it yet myself and I prefer not to watch reactions to shows until I've watched them properly myself, so I have to support Angel Next Door.
Hari Viswanathan akZNIpCfAg
No Angel Next Door is losing 🥲
Nancchi
I hope Wotakoi makes it for the hell of it one day. Y’all want no high school kids? That’s the one. OR let me one up that one since this one’s done. — Golden Time
Richard Bone
I do hope Tomo Chan makes it through one day, as I think you’d have a blast watching it.
Eli Gamarra
GUYS THEY FINALLY ANNOUNCED DRESS UP DARLING SEASON 2 IN 2025!!!!
Pedro Lobo
Yeah Angel is more of a slowburn, Makeine is gold comedy since ep 1.
Hisaki
Just checked Angel and losing heroines. Nothing against all who love sweet Angels, but if its about this two im switching to heroines..1 EP got me already hooked.
Hisaki
Beside Toradora, also recommend Romantic Killer, Gekkan shoujo nozaki kun, Wotakoi, Shikimori is not just cute too. They are hilarious. And love story with yamada-kun is also a nice watch, especially when you also like games :))
Roger Powell
Especially seeing expression changes. They did it so well in S1. I doubt it will get to THAT scene, but I'd love to see Marin's expression changes that Fukuda hid.
dolo
It's absolutely the définition of Romcom. So yes.
dolo
So far the best rom(com). Can't wait too see that. I've read the manga so I know what is coming but the anime is a real added value
dolo
Komi can't communicate is cool too. Blue box is in my opinion the best romance of the year, it's so chill.
JAMES D'ALESSANDRO
I would skip Clannad.
Roger Powell
Breaking news for romcom fans 2025 is going to be another good year: My Dress Up Darling S2 scheduled for 2025. No exact date yet. Announced on the cover of this weeks issue of the magazine that publishes the manga.
Roronoa Zoro
Personally i think 100 gfs would’ve been the best choice since season 2 starts next month
Mad Man Moon
Some day we'll get My Love Story! Honestly though, I'd love to see all of these so I'm picking a (possible?) underdog - Wotakoi! A workplace story sounds like a nice change up.
Eric C
My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU is a classic
Savingstumps
Should just watch them all! (voted for WOTAKOI, Although Carol is a frickin treasure too)
KZ
Huh? When did I say that? You do realize the word “romcom” exists right?
Dooly
So it’s impossible for an anime to be both funny and romantic?
KZ
Whoever says lost heroine’s a romance should probably look up what a proper romance anime should look like. It’s a comedy.
rogueknight
Same. Oregairu is a personal favorite of mine but think for now I'm voting Losing Heroines
Kaushal Banninthaya
MAKEINE!
Pedro Lobo
Damn I would love to see a reaction to Oregairu... But as it's far from winning, I'm voting Makeine
Roger Powell
It's an interesting discussion. My short take is that it written to appeal to rom/com fans, so I'll allow it. But it almost defies genre classification.
mark angle
Snafu is an oldie but a goodie!
mellon 100
i think you guys should re run these poles after ending the next rom com to many bangers here
Maw19992
It's a good enough romance, but I wouldn't call it a romcom.
InCre
Man... Toradora only 4th place so far is getting me depressed
Hatoma
You understand what romcom is right? Cause Makeine is a comedy with romance...
Renaud Nadeau
obviously they have done most of what is considered the Peak Romcoms. There are a few others that I personally consider up there but this is where views tend to veer widely. Angel is great if you enjoy more romance focus over comedy, where say SNAFU is more comedy then romance. I would say the bottom 3 on the list are the better overall shows but I feel I would enjoy seeing their reaction to Angel. Even if I am not personally voting for it, I don't have a problem with it winning either.
Mike Baker
The voting is really close here! I think the romcom slot is safely queued up until at least summer with these.
Skilmo
Oh wotakoi c:
James Du Tiger
This has to be the hardest poll to vote in, three of them i wanted to vote for!
~Mercedeez Lee~
Oh please Wotakoi win, such a gem show. One of the best adult rom-com anime
Aleister Crowley
Toradora walked so these other shows could run. it's straight OG, peak romcom for me. in my top 3 with dangers and kaguya included.
Pedro Lobo
Is it possible for you guys to react to all of them? 😁
Pedro Lobo
It is. It's focused on comedy and romance, literally. And it's listed as comedy + romance in MAL, so...
JAMES D'ALESSANDRO
Is Makine really a rom/ com? I say no, but love the show
tracee miasco
Agreed. Angel isn’t peak compared to every romcom they’ve done like love is war, horimiya, dangers
Kurri
im not saying its a bad show. the other shows are just so much better lmao
Renaud Nadeau
Angel is a great romance show. What you mean? Do I need to have my lawyers contact you about that? 😜
Renaud Nadeau
Honestly... Just rewatch Dangers. But otherwise multiple great shows on this list.
Kurri
angel has to be an industry plant bro there is no way its beating all of these other shows
MrGiamMY999
Angel felt like a great source material that wasn’t adapted as good as it should have been, too many losing heroine is great but I feel you should watch more romances before, since it plays a lot with tropes and parody, I would recommend toradora first
soniq
Damn I don’t want to vote on any of these there not 100 girlfriends or call of the night
Roger Powell
No clinkers here, I hope all the non winners return in the next poll. Good call to save some for later.
Lark
Or it should be but doesn’t look like it
Lark
Haven’t commented on here yet, but realistically it’s a three way split in Snafu, too many losing, and Toradora. The others are pretty bland and unfinished. Toradora is decent, too many losing was actually pretty interesting just not finished, and snafu is pretty amazing in its weirdly cryptic sense.
Yellow_hat_gnome
Toradora is the only option here… Makeine is okay i guess, at least is beautiful to watch
Maleny
I want to vote Makeine, but honestly it'll only get funnier the more romance genre knowledge you guys accrue.
JustAway
tbh I'm not interested in any of these
Crofo
I’d be happy with legitimately any of these options except the one that’s in the lead rn. Angel is so bland and cookie-cutter compared to the rest
steindds
Oregairu supremacy tho
steindds
Guys these options are all peak, im happy either way!
Hari Viswanathan akZNIpCfAg
I can't choose 🥲
Kurri
the fact toradora isnt winning so far is such a robbery
Pablo
Fuck all these are too good!!
Calvin Gomez
Yes angel next door is winning
TikiJoe
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL WITH THIS ONE!? Whatever wins, im locked in with yall!!
Eli Gamarra
Setting up this poll must have been really hard cause there’s just so many good Rom-Coms.
William Cruz
Clannad for next time 😭😭😭 but I guess I’ll settle for Oregairu
Kurri
youre cooking
Eli Gamarra
It’s part of the etc
Cen Alvi
omg wotakoi please win🤞🏽😫
flowww
Voted for Alya but damn it would be nice to see you react to Makeine too
Cara&Prez
To clarify! We’ve got call of the night noted for either the Patreon exclusive poll OR later down the line as Prez is somewhat recently familiar with the first few episodes
Giuliano Venturo Gonzales
Too many losing heroines would be fcking hilarious 😂 but I'm ok with any options tbh
jpizzle
The angel next door is pure diabetes
Kurri
no call of the night im going to kms smh
