We have all at least once watched romance animes. My personal favorite has to be Golden Time and as I start my second semester of college I find myself laughing at the old troupes I found myself always watching.

Anime is an amazing thing if used correctly, this idea of a perfect life where everything is happy ever after doesn't exist or well takes more work than anime shows.

This brings me to Golden Time, one of the most realistic animes I have seen in a long while.

It brings the flaws of humans to life, I have a game for anyone who watches anime after reading this. When you complain about what a character does pause the video and ask, "Is it human?"

If you were in the situation would you have reacted differently?

If you answer, Yes and No respectively then there was no point in your complaint and the author was actually doing well at creating real characters.

We are so drawn into fake, perfect idealistic characters that we forget humans are flawed. Golden time is a reminder that humans are flawed, and when we are looking for a partner we look for someone with flaws that we still love, not someone who is flawless.
