Actually in this current season, only 5 out of 45 new anime have the Romance tag, and one of those def doesn't have romance as the main theme, while another is ecchi. If you include continuing series, it's 5 out of 86 with the romance tag, though Chihayafuru should count so let's make it 6 out of 86 for romance.

Comedy is indeed popular, but that's recency bias thinking things have changed dramatically. It's far easier to remember the really good anime from the past than it is to remember all the bad, average, and kind of good ones. The 2000s and early 2010s were loaded with comedy and romance. They're easy to produce on a low budget so they'll continue to be popular.

Yaoi Yuri all in this movie, now a days 75% of all anime is romance as main theme and light hearted comedy dramas, this is a bad situation, and totally different from 00s and early 10s. I feel bad.
