| I just don't know how to word it, none of these characters feel like they were written to be likeable. Every time there is even the slightest inconvience with the main character, his so called "friends" just lash out on him like he's some kind of super villian. Not only that, the main love intrest is just so insufferable that I genuinely don't see how anyone can like her at all, she's a spoiled rich girl and when anything bad happens she just cries and tries to force pity from other people and for whatever reason, despite many of the main cast recognizing this flaw, when everyone just lashes out on him and doesn't try to hear his side. And don't even get me started on Banri himself, he has absolutley zero backbone and just gets walked all over for the entire show. These characters don't feel even remotely real, and yes, I understand that they're not meant to be but they just feel like what an alien race would view humans as, overly emotional and irrational... |
| I think Hayashida and Oka are the best characters. The orders are messed up. The MC should've ended up with one of those two. |

xXGoreGrinderXx said: they started out okay and I was hoping for the best but they got worse and worse as the series went on. don't know why people think it's one of the best romance animes. I think it's relatively poor on all fronts. toradora is much better in every category imo I agree, the first few episodes I thoroughly enjoyed but everything after the two got together just wasn't it for me, maybe I'm just heartless but I never once cared for koko at all, i actually dislike her quite a lot, she does countless terrible things and never once pays for it, all she did was whine and play the victim the whole time, it got old very quickly and she was just unnecessarily rude, especially to oka. |

Yes taiga was a bitch, but she did eventually come around, koko literally never changed, and for the record, I was team minori |
xXGoreGrinderXx said: right?! Kouko was a terrible character and an even worse love interest. I held out through the series because I thought, or at least was hoping, banri would get with linda but apparently not. it's not a TERRIBLE anime but it's not that good either. people on tiktok especially have made golden time out to be, like most anime that are talked about on that app, incredibly overrated. I've stopped taking any anime opinions from that app altogether. yeah, I was hoping for more diversity in the romance but it was pretty one track the whole time. idk, I watched it till the end so it could've been worse but I was waiting for it to end for a good chunk of those 24 eps |
Uruichi said: Rsdakilla said: well ain't that just the lovely thing about opinions? Yes taiga was a bitch, but she did eventually come around, koko literally never changed, and for the record, I was team minori well I understand that koko was annoying at first but atleast there wasn't the whole trope of her hitting the mc for no apparent reason which toradora and nisekai adopted 😂 but she did though, any time she got upset with banri she hit him, not to mention gaslighting him any time there was a disagreement, I have no problem with the tsundere archetype, in fact I like it but in the case of koko it was just too much for me, the whole time I was expecting a "I only dated you to make the other guy jealous" thing to happen, their "romance" never once felt real, it always seemed like an act to me |
Moppit said: That is a major occurrence in a lot of animes. No one listens to problem of the one that's having troubles. They turn and act blindly not fully understanding what's going on. Then again if they knew what was going on and act accordingly there wouldn't be a anime. I'm more so upset about the ending, it's kind of how I felt about a silent voice, by the time the curtain closes, nobody has faced any repercussions for their actions and everything goes back to normal |

Ricky16 said: I agree with you 100 percent. the more people I see agree with me the more I wonder how this show got such a high rating lol |
| I absolutely loved Golden Time and its characters. It's amongst my favourite anime of all time...Kouko is amongst my favourite characters of all time. |
calebchetty said: this anime is a little messed up but it's still a good story. for some reason I'll never forget watching this anime I gave it a 10/10... just my opinion aye, I get it, I myself have quite a few shows that despite having flaws I still love to death, I didn't wanna stomp on anyone's opinion, I just saw the ratings were pretty positive and wanted to see if I was just missing something. |
Nyamaste said: This is definitely one anime I've never understood the hype on. A lot of people swear by it, say it's the best romance anime they've ever seen. I'm surprised I actually finished it. But hey, different strokes for different folks I guess. yeah, I sat through it till the end but I certainly feel like I could've spent my time somewhere else lol |
Moppit said: Rsdakilla said: I'm more so upset about the ending, it's kind of how I felt about a silent voice, by the time the curtain closes, nobody has faced any repercussions for their actions and everything goes back to normal Unfortunately that's another common thing with any show. No matter what happens or anything significant that happens. Everything seems to return to status quo or very little of importance changes. Especially with romances yeah the couple gets together but nothing really changes. I watch most animes I end liking one of the characters doesn't even have to be the MC and I want to see what happens to them you do have a point there. |

Unless someone's got you held at gunpoint while you browse MAL and/or watch shit, you are free to feel however you want about them. On the off chance someone is, you should probably do whatever they tell you to for the time being. 😭 I just saw all the positive reviews and such and decided to ask for some other opinions, despite me and my two friends that have watched it, everyone else seemed to love it so I was curious if I was just missing something. I have a similar opinion on clannad and clannad after story, I personally loved clannad and wasn't a huge fan of after story which some see as a big taboo 😅 |
Volts71 said: Kaga was supposed to be made that way I guess I mean she was supposed to be a spoiled girl in this show for the story to go on I know what you mean but I was kinda hoping for a little more growth in her character but for the most part she stays selfish until the very end. |
| Unfortunately us humans indeed ARE overly emotional and irrational.... I had an ex that acted exactly like Kouko, and she was very insufferable😬 I enjoyed that they showed us the realization they all had because, frankly, how many times have you told one of your mates "bro, she's TERRIBLE for you. Just leave her already." only for them to never listen to you. But there's always that "aha" moment when you finally see reality for how it is. Love and hormones and all that shit blind you to the simplest facts. I enjoyed how much these things at a high level did indeed reflect relationships. Anyways these are just my thoughts based on my own life :) buy I totally understand how it's unwatchable for a ton of peeps |

| I think so, I like many horrible characters, but these are horrible, and I hate them, meaning the author intended us to like them, but failed. |
 |
| agree. i actually like the story structure and premise but it feels like with these characters it comes off a bit bland and weird |

-Rand- said: What do you expect from the author of Toradora? idk, I watched toradora forever ago and I really liked it, maybe I'll rewatch it and see If that changes but I never really actively disliked the show |

Hype ruins everything....atleast that's the case with me. So I understand where you are coming from. Mindless praising a given piece of media in excess (which many people do nowadays) as "peak" and "going hard" etc. just ruins the experience for others because said praise is subjective and is often accompanied by vitriol towards similar works. This type of extreme praise first occurred for CSM and now it is happening for JJK S2. The tragedy is that the praise cannot be substantiated alone...so it is forcibly justified by the bashing of something else. Golden Time is one of my favorite romance anime. For some it may just be average. For some it may be trash. All opinions are justified because it's a matter of preference. ALL OPINIONS ARE JUSTIFIED AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT FORCED UPON OTHERS. |

Well, Well, what are humans without flaws... What are humans without hypocrisy and most importantly what are humans without emotional outbreaks. Rationality is a case of its own... wouldnt speak of it much as they are not the brightest of cast I never wanted them to be perfect but after a certain point you gotta point out problems, like brah, a character straight up insults banri for no reason because she was upset that SHE decided to cut her own hair. I get that they're characters and not real people but God damn they were just too much. |
AnimeOverflow said: Honestly I just don't enjoy any of the characters, there's no redeeming qualities about them. They're either very bland and 2d or are so annoying that I want a new character to be there. I personally don't see how people rank this high as a romance anime, the relationship is just not good and feels forced and rushed. I will admit I am dropping the show at 14 episodes, so maybe it improves later on but to me if I'm half way through the show and I hate the characters and the relationship then why continue further. nah, I wish I dropped it sooner, it only gets worse and the characters only get more annoying. it's really not worth the time. |
