And it's so sweet that it makes you sick?

Cloying.
That's the perfect word for this anime.
They overdid it.


Do you agree?

lowered the score from 10 to 8

I wouldn't really agree. Use that for frou frou Doga Koba moe shows like Saint Cecilia airing this season or something.

If anything My Happy Marriage is trying to get you to be mad at the bad guys more than trying to be "wholesome" or whatever.

Why are the politics an issue for you? The show is really nothing groundbreaking but I'm glad there's some tension. It would be mid otherwise.

Nah, just make it sweeter, I won't mind.
Instead of being salty or bitter.
Just ignore the politics and focus on the sweetness. Done. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I don't personally find it cloying, especially given episode 6, but I can sort of see how someone might find the first few episodes that way. But I think as more serious and exciting stiff happens, it's not all sweet.

Kodou is so perfect that at some point you start wondering if it's really a romance or a satire.
Do girls have wet dreams with this kind of stuff?
I got some bad news...

Kodou is stronger than naruto now
and way hotter
and way prettier
and way wealthier
and treats you with respect
And loves you even tho you did nothing to get that love
And he's so wanted by every other girl but he will be 100% loyal to you because... ? (I know this last points make girls go crazy)

Not even Disney princes can compete with this guy...

While I agree there are shows too sweet for their own good, I don’t think this is one of them. It feels more in a similar vein as Ancient Magus Bride or Sacrificial Princess. They have a sweet design in a depressing premise.

I know I know. You are a bit jealous of Kodou now aren't ya.
Anyways that still doesn't change the fact that there is no such thing as too sweet (in a bad way) in romance anime.

If it’s not for you that’s fine. But saying this after the episode where she’s being abused by her family for a lot of the episode seems incredibly silly. This is a pretty depressing anime and far from the most sugary romance out there.

I wouldn't say it's too sweet, but for me it is too traditional. At this point, at least. (what is the year of the novel?)

And I am quite aware that this is a "me" problem hahaha...

Miyo is too much a damsel in distress.
Kudou is too much a prince in a white horse.

After watching this kind of thing so many times before, it does get a bit tiring.

I began to watch this because of the supernatural part and I'm going to continue to watch it to find out about Miyo's powers :) I hope she gets stronger and more able to walk with her own two legs and depend less on her husband.

The romance part is kind of common and average.
And the sad part is indeed sad, but again very common in the anime/manga universe.

But it really is just a matter of personal taste :)

I know such feeling. And I look for my future wife to feel the same for me and you can be sure I will correspond to such feeling.

The love we receive is the love that is saved.

Really? guess gotta read the manga of it then

I read the manga up to the chapter adapted to episode 6 - the anime has not deviated from it. The scenes of the cruelty of Miyo's family just felt more painful now that it's fully voiced and animated. The plot points of going out to the city, the hair tie, meeting Hana again, etc are the same. Though I remember a few conversations (to see more character POVs, but not that important) that were cut off, maybe because of airtime.

I am not sure what OP is pertaining to with the feeling of "too sweet", because on my end it is currently still very painful ahaha ;; Kudou is very protective of Miyo, and Miyo is only slowly opening up to thinking that she is not worthless - I see it more of caring for each other and not yet "love" compared to other romance anime.

Saw only ep 1 cause I will binge it later but the amount of edgy forums on mal just makes me roll my eyes. I don't think anyone in the real world would care about their thoughts so they vent all their frustrations here and try to act superior with their takes.
we all aren't doing anything special by watching anime,for some of us it is either entertainment or somewhat a hobby so ig it is fine to drop anything we don't like or rate it acc to our enjoyment .

Your first line implies people shouldn’t hold expectations of the anime they watch.

Following that logic, couldn’t I say “didn’t know anime were supposed to be good, that’s crazy!” ?

Do you realize how crazy that sounds? Don’t try to shift people’s expectations to make their appraisal of something match yours

And then you go on and pull a stereotypical “would you prefer x thing or y thing”, with both variables being so extremist and exaggerated that it makes one’s head hurts

Sorry for only nitpicking whilst not bringing any actual value to the conversation, I’m just tired enough that I can’t help but reply.

That’s called loneliness.

Either way, this was never a 10. Mio is just not a good enough character lmao.

But aye, it’s still pretty decent. For me, it was an 8/10 from the start.

Might lower it a bit if Mio never develops from her perpetually depressed state, though.

Sorry for only nitpicking whilst not bringing any actual value to the conversation, I’m just tired enough that I can’t help but reply.

I understand your criticism, but the post I was replying to had a bad argument as well. Comparing the show to women's wet dreams because a male character is prince charming-esque in a fictional show is pretty dense. So even though my tactics of making a point aren't the best, does it suddenly make my entire post invalid? I will say I also wrote my post tired and annoyed because of such a weird argument. It wasn't meant to be taken seriously for the most part. So I'm sorry if I triggered something within you lol.

I will say, comparing anime being realistic and being good as a baseline doesn't make sense. "Good" is a subjective term. Generally, people can agree on what's realistic or pertains to reality (objective).

If we are rewriting the story, assuming the events stay the same, and our character weren't that prince charming stereotype, would that indeed mean that he would abandon the main character? Why is rescuing her and protecting her "too sweet"?

I'm just saying that there is nothing wrong with having a loving male lead that cares about a female character. Yes, it can be unrealistic at times, but it's a fictional show with magic. So why does the male lead have to be normal within that world? It is such a bizarre argument. If the show is too sweet and the characters are too lovey with each other, just don't watch it. Which I know that argument is stupid as well, but really I strongly believe if something makes you uncomfortable please don't subject yourself to it, and that goes for everything ever.

It makes me sad to see the shift towards "by default opposition" mindset, no matter the type of story, in the masses viewing media content nowadays.

Like you provide them a dark + tragic story, they would be labelling it as "too intense and dark, our mind can't relax blah blah.." and when you give them a cute, wholesome story to remedy the serious tone they are like "this is just too cute, they overdid it..should've atleast added some intense drama to it". Bruh, WTF do you want in a story then? You do realize that not every plot can be a balanced combo of dark/intense and wholesome at the same time, right?
