MAL's tags are weird.

This is a good chance for me to drop this request :

Someone tell me if SpaceBattle Ship Yamamoto has romance.

yeah, mal can be a bit arbitrary with tags
this is one of the things anidb and anime-planet are better at
but (especially @Robiiii ) i still dont think the romance was one of the main points of the series anyway.. even on anidb, it has just 1 romance transparent star

but really u should expect romance from anything with boy and girl on the cover

I'm actually glad MAL doesn't tag every single relationship in an anime immediately as ''romance''. I think it should be like that if romance is a more persistent theme throughout the entire series, because I usually tend to stay away from romance.

Seirei no Moribito is a good example too of not having the tag and Jormungand.
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Hunt: Showdown 1896 again when you read this

Jormungand isn't romance .

It's the story of a based child soldier and a funny shotacon .

Exactly what I'm saying. It isn't romance but it has romance. Did you even watch it?

Not every single anime with a bit of a romantic relationship is a romance anime. That would be dumb.

based on your post I think romance tags should just be put in a show that shows constant interaction between characters to mark it as a romance other than that it shouldn't bet put in it.

There was a little like Koko and Jonah but that's just that tiny bit of romance you could hardly see it though but its there.

There are also anime like Berserk and Elfen Lied that have the romance tag without being very romantic at all. The romance tag was removed from Amagi Brilliant Park due to it being irrelevant. I've heard people complain about seasonal harems getting the romance tag without the harem tag only to be tagged as harems after they finish airing. MAL tags are inconsistent in general.

That's not romance .

That's a sibling-ish relationship. Koko fawns over Jonah a lot but not in a romantic manner. Their relationship isn't so normal/simple that it can be described as a romance. Especially with how Jonah doesn't see Koko that way.

Heck first ep has Koko asking Jonas to see her as a big sis

Not every anime with subtle romance has to have the romance tag. MAL is weird with its tags.

>No kiss scene
>No declaration of love
>Siblingish relationship

What did it develop into? Jonah ends up liking Koko and the gang but that's pretty much it. All the chicks love Jonah. Valmet, Miami,Chiquita, Chinatsu.

I might as well call him a harem protagonist.

I wasn't even talking about Koko and Jonas, what? When did I ever say that, I said Jormungand, not a specific pairing.

There is a kiss scene but I agree with you, their relationship is not romantic.

Still Jormungand features romance for other characters.

I don't really remember that. Most that I recall is how one of Koko's henchmen was once married to someone in the series. That was just a touch up with no influence on the series. Who else?

I did say a little and besides there are other kinds of Romance you know -.- not just limited to that kind of interaction between characters.Also there are other characters in the show that shows hints of what your talking about.

Valmet is in love/has a heavy crush on Koko, which gets mentioned a lot and Valmet keeps no secrets about it. Then Chiquita or whatever her name was and one of Koko's guys, the older one with white hair, have their moments throughout the show and it's very obvious that they have history/still have feelings for eachother.

@Pyrrhussieg

Koko's henchman and Chiquita is a relationship that gets brought up very rarely in the series. It has little impact on the story as a whole but I suppose it can technically be counted as "romance". Valmet's case as well though at least that pops up more frequently. In any case, romance isn't so prominent in the series that it can even be called a sub-plot.

Well if you're so ready to dismiss Valmet's feelings for Koko since literally her entire motivation on being with Koko's squad is based around it and gets explored throughout 2 seasons, then fine do so, but I am simply answering to the OP. And clearly your memory is hazy when it comes to Jormungand so, let's end it here.

My point still stands though.......Let's not even talk about how Koko doesn't seem to like Valmet that way. There are so many series that are more accurate examples of having romance subplots but no romance tag yet the one that's extremely vague is a good example? I wonder how many people would rec Jormungand to people looking for romance subplots.

But you're right. I'm not in the mood to argue anymore. We might as well end it here.
