The Dangers in My Heart
First of all why this show has this high rating, that’s the real question??
Back then definition of romance anime was shows like (Clannad After Story.) From starting to end everything was perfect romance, emotions, story, characters, animation and most important a feeling of satisfaction. Even today you watch it you feel the same.
Now they don’t make shows like this anymore.
But today we have shows like Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu which are crossing all limits of cringness and nonsense with no logic. No matter from which angle you see this show, it makes no sense at all.
Story
We have two school kids as always but that’s not even the problem. The real problem is our MC and FMC.
FMC is literally a brain dead character. Eating chips and giving empty wrapper to…

(Updated review because MAL doesn't let you make new ones for some reason.)
Original Review:
You know, I don’t really mind when a show divulges (or better yet evolves) from its premise, even if it was character based. Of course as the character grows, motivations change and the circumstance changes with it. Like in Love is War, the whole premise is trying to get the other to confess, but when they get together, that premise is gone, but still because of how the characters were developed, there was still a lot more story to tell. The premise evolved and changed. That is a good series. But I’m sorry, you cannot just forget your premise of, oh yeah, your main character planning the murders of his classmates! Like seriously, this kid is actually fucking deranged, carrying around a box cutter…

HAHAHAHA!!! WHAT IS THIS!?
That's my reaction after keeping myself watching until the end of season 2.
You know what? My first assessment of this anime was so bad. No, more precisely until episode 5, season 1. At that time, I felt that this anime was cringe-worthy. In other words, embarrassing!
However, that changed when Ichikawa started to realize his feelings. Ah, Kami-sama, thank you for the opportunity you have given me to watch this anime.
Really, I don't feel strong about this comedy romance. So adorable!! Full of sugar!!! But... The memory that they are still middle schoolers makes me realize this miserable life.
Anyway, if you're feeling curious, you can watch it! Recommended in your free time and alone, yes!

Word of the day: Stammer.
Now let’s use it in a sentence: “I wish Kyoutarou Ichikawa from The Dangers in My Heart wouldn’t stammer so goddamn much.” Dangers is a show I dislike more for its modus operandi than its objective. Put plainly, HOW it does what it does is more irksome than WHAT it’s trying to do. The base premise of a lonely boy learning to love and open himself up to others is fine, but the journey he takes to get there is just so loud, predictable and trite that I couldn’t get attached.
The show is often praised as “realistic” and I find that notion simply laughable. There’s exactly one aspect of the show that I found even vaguely realistic and it was Ichikawa’s thought process, mostly in relation to how he feels about Yamada (the love interest) and how he thinks she feels a…

People love to dump on Rent a Girlfriend because of the brainless plot and the snail-pace story progress. But oh boy, is that show a masterpiece compared to this cringe fest, and I simply can't understand its popularity or why it's so highly rated. First of all, the show is a complete insult to people that struggle with social anxiety and have trouble fitting in. This is the most shameless and lazy wish-fulfilling escapist fantasy that I've seen in recent memory. No chance in hell that a literal model would fall for this tiny creepy guy who dose absolutely NOTHING throughout the whole show or has any meaningful interactions with her. This is the ultimate loser fantasy of "what if the hottest chick in class falls for me for no apparent reason while I do absolutely nothing about myself" whic…

Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu is a show I had low expectations going into. It's a show I thought I would never enjoy, one I thought would be filled with lame tropes and be over the top and stupid, one I thought would be forgettable and pointless but oh BOY how wrong I was. I was absolutely blown away at how everything played out, frankly I was shocked at how good this was, how well written and wholesome it was and just how much I'd become invested in these characters and their story.
Something that stood out to me was the realistic approach this anime went for, characters felt so human and truly changed as time progressed. Characters didn't rely on tropes, didn't feel like "anime" characters, didn't do the silly anime jokes or rely on silly misunderstandings or forced awkward scenes to bu…

I enjoyed this show overall, but the one thing I couldn’t get over was how unrealistic it was for Yamada to fall for Ichikawa. Sorry, but in a real-life school setting, having the hottest girl in school fall for the loner is impossible.
Not only that, she actively pursues and initiates romantic interest in him. This issue broke all sense of immersion to the story for me and made watching less enjoyable. Even the anime is self-aware enough to know how unrealistic this plot is given the characters' reactions to their relationship.
Yes, I know this is a romance anime where anything is possible and it caters to the male fantasy, but it was just too much for me.
I could have believed it more if Ichikawa had to fight to win her over but he literally did a few nice things for her and then she’…

I'm a simple man with simple tastes - if I see a generic romance/comedy in the season, I'll watch it. Even if it's the same copy and pasted show that I've seen a million times before. I'll watch it. As for why... well that's a whole can of worms. But when I saw this airing I thought "well, guess this another one of those". I read the synopsis, saw a tall girl and a goofy looking edgy MC and thought, "okay, this is gonna be a another gag comedy with only one overused joke and appealing to people with a tall girl fetish."
I had it all figured out.
So I watched the first episode, and I was right. He wants to kill her, but she's hot so he ends up falling in love with her, bla bla bla. Fell right into my low expectations. But eh, it was fine so I decided to watch the next episode. Admittedl…

Years after Mitsudomoe, the funniest sh*t you'll ever see if you're into nonsensical comedy, from the same author, we get a romcom with a twist, or is it?
The premise presented is of a protagonist which fantasizes about killing people, specially the most popular girl of his class, who is pretty, cute, funny, airhead, glutton, popular, model... just the most perfect girl possible. A beauty and the beast kind of story. That premise holds for about one episode.
From the second onwards, we can already see that this "fantasy" is perhaps a kind of defense mechanism he has so as to not interact with people. He thinks of himself a creep, and thus, is shy and insecure with girls. He thinks about killing the girl precisely because he finds her so desirable, and with his self-pity, he thinks she wo…

The background with the characters in the first few episodes is very interesting but the character dev later on is very bad so the details that follow are very obsequious and cringe I don't know why and at what part the female lead has such a big crush on her. The same goes for the main, but at first I found him quite strange and unpredictable, but later on I just found him quite "dumb". In short, from a series with potential it became a "sweet" series. Diabetes level is just for "spiritual exploration" for fa guys. It has a good opening so it can still be saved. 5/10

These days there are no shortage of wish fulfillment anime, especially ones that revolve around the very common wish of having a cute GF. As a fan of the subgenre, I can say without a doubt that this one is among the worst I've seen. It's like the ultimate herbivore shut-in fantasy. Seriously, the MC might as well have been isekaied considering how ridiculous this show is.
I can't believe this requires a reminder but guys, if you are the quiet weird kid of your class the hottest girl in your class isn't going to randomly fall in love with you. The MC of this show has no friends and other people in the class generally avoids him. It doesn't help that he's constantly reading grotesque books about murders. It would be no exaggeration to say that he gives off school shooter vibes. Meanwhile…

Anime romantic comedies are a dime a dozen and they have been for over forty years now. The moment some savvy producer looked at the seminal Urusei Yatsura in the late 70’s and was like “We could totally milk the shit out of this,” it was basically all over from there. This reached critical mass in the 2000’s when some iteration of “random douchebag attracts a bunch of socially unstable weirdos and they run around for 13-25 episodes" or "random airheaded bimbo finds some hot piece of bishounen ass to abuse her for 13-25 episodes” became a disproportionate amount of the anime industry’s output. while there’s still the occasional harem manga adaptation, these types of stories have largely been subsumed into the now derided Isekai light novel power fantasy whose continued prevalence in the in…

In the realm that is the romcom genre, there is a lot of trash, and when I read the synopsis of Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu I was sure it was going to be another one of those, like, it looked absolutely ridiculous, but after watching the first episode I could gladly say that I was wrong, the series was actually funny and even endearing.
It is pretty impressive how well this series manages to show the feelings that some teenagers have during their years at school, loving a person and feeling as if the world revolved around that other person and how innocently one can love when you are young, showcasing how naturally love can form during that age, sure, you can argue that a "10/10 girl" won’t fall for a "3/10" boy, which may be kinda true, but the point is how this gets developed and it i…

The Dangers in My Heart is… uncomfortable, not due to its subject matter, but because of its effective satirization of the inherent creepiness often found in male-led romance anime. It cleverly critiques the recent wave of school rom-coms featuring generic boys who mystically attract conventionally attractive girls through exaggerated narratives and voyeuristic direction. Kyoutarou Ichikawa, the average male protagonist, embodies the creepiness to the extreme with his lurking, antisocial behavior, and disturbing thoughts. However, the series takes an unexpected turn by juxtaposing his unsettling tendencies with moments of genuine kindness.
These anime tend to follow men who narrate about their love interests while staring at them longingly, usually as the anime’s director ogles her leeri…

In a season full of good romance titles, Bokuyaba stands at the top for me as the best romance show of Spring 2023 and one of the best overall. A genuinely heartwarming and cute story that features a believable and organic relationship dynamic, loveable characters, a fantastic Ushio Kensuke OST and beautiful direction. This is a must watch.
Bit of a disclaimer. One of the biggest and most unfair criticisms this show got is how edgy the MC is in the first couple episodes and it’s genuinely mind-bogglingly to me that people still don’t understand the concept of character development and growth. If characters started out perfect what would be the point of a story? Yes, the MC is an edgy Chuuni at the start of the show, but his reasons for that are revealed and he has a really good character…

This show, like the title did say was quite ~yabai~ in the first few episodes but trust me it does develop fairly well in the later episodes.
I thought this was just gonna be a chunni freak show with weird fanservice which it manages to fit in quite a good amount of, the boisterous and ultra well endowed little giant of girl yamada anna , (who we are somehow supposed to believe) is a middle school student and a model is alarmingly unaware of her antics of overeating and accidental fanservicing which are fueled by the chunni and Perverted delusions of our main lead ichikawa who also fantasies about murdering people in elaborate ways? Yeah I was gonna drop it soon too.
But,
We actually got a decently written Romance in which the MC actually improves as the story and his love progresses a…

"Murder is born of love, and love attains the greatest intensity in murder." - Octave Mirbeau
You've probably heard this quote about umpteen times already: Love makes the world go round. But have you ever asked yourself how people attain that love that makes them swell into romance with their significant others? I know of some series that specifically render this as part of their woven plot into romance, that are dependent on the people to have mixed feelings and so, carve an identity for themselves as nothing more than just fan fiction. Well, look no more, because courtesy of the creator of Mitsudomoe, mangaka Norio Sakurai is back with a romance "thriller"...or is it more like an obsession of sorts, in the form of Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu a.k.a. The Dangers in My Heart. And to be h…

The Dangers in My Heart has had quite an interesting run, from a full on cringefest to an incredibly wholesome ride filled with great character growth, and moments that really dangered my heart indeed. Granted, I liked the show from the beginning even with how cringe some of it was, but fast forward to about nine weeks in, and this became one of the shows I looked forward to the most every week in the spring anime season. From being lukewarm on the protagonist, I definitely came around on him, and he became one of my favourite male characters of the season. If you want to watch two dumb, goofy characters get together in a very entertaining matter, I highly recommend this, as it’s one of my favourite new romcoms I’ve seen in quite some time.
Many of us have been a cringe teenager at some p…
