How girls would prefer love confessions according to Anime

[Sailormoonprincess]

Have you ever considered that females are obsessed with romance titles? Such as Twilight... Titanic... How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days...Pride and Prejudice. Well take a look at how the anime world (japanese cartoons) reveals females imagination towards romance.

god i hate anime... so stupid and their voices are just dumb... and all the overly sexualized women and the sexual encounters that are oh so necessary for the plot

[front2back]

But what if Senpai doesn't notice me?

[jjmarvin]

Bwahaha

[TheDevilInside]

Then I should just fall in front of him with my already too short skirt flying high in the air, revealing my panty-clad bum.

Girl denies love, and tries to hide it. But a kiss can tell everything:)

[BlueSJ]

Hahah I am watching this anime and this video spoiled it lol. xD

[sexyasianboi26]

Yah this anime is weird. Fate/Zero is more of an adult version, Fate/Stay Night is the latest and relatable on the audience. Both series are on netflix.

[JustinX9]

I can't see the video

[Sailormoonprincess]

Is this anime got no yucky stuff?

[lilac_flowers]

People who write 99% of anime are socially innept and that reflects in their work. There are very few animes out there who actually reflect how human relationships and behavior work.

I understand there is some niche corner of the anime audience who enjoy anime's lack of connection to the real world, but most of anime is shit in reflecting reality. It works more like an introspection tool for the creator's soul. Not as much as a story telling device.

[Sailormoonprincess]

If you don't like anime... then go away

[lilac_flowers]

I LOVE animation. I love anime style drawing and I grew up watching Naruto.
I like a few anime, like Samurai Champloo, or Death Note.
I also like anime style western cartoons like ATLA.
I know anime well. And that's why I can tell shit from good stuff. Good stuff is VERY rare. Mangaka and Anime writers are fucking socially retarded.

[Sailormoonprincess]

Damn you are confusing

[Rei02]

Well, anime has reflected stuff that people would like to happen or they have dreamed about but they know that it is impossible in real life, I think that if it happened to them, they could get scared, prefer to follow the strict and social codes they know of respect to others or meet foreigners because their social codes are less strict but there can be culture clash.

This is what I have seen in mangas (and anime):
Shojo: Girls are naive, cute and no matter their temper but they should risk all her health, well-being and happiness for others even for their enemies, and the main goal should be love and looking for their man's happiness. Their reward: a possible selfish jerk, with a lot of female admirers, who has psychological issues (added with a troubled and dark past) who can torment the poor girl because of that, but in the process of the relationship, he will learn how to be more sweet and tender and selfless because of her (LIES, TOTAL LIES).

[Rei02]

Shonen: The guy is timid and has hard time to define and express his true feelings to someone. There can be a range of many girls with many personality traits, the ones who are "more attractive" are the ones who are more aggressive or are ice queens (there the dare is to melt their cold ice heart). Here the sweet and tender girls need to do certain moves to make the guy realize their true feelings, but it has been more probable that they end in the friend zone cause guys are more attracted to the ones who are more bitchy. Although here anything can happen.

Josei: Similar to shojo, but for women.

Seinen: ...

[lilac_flowers]

@Rei02 So we agree. It doesn't reflect reality. Yes a lot of it is author's wishful thinking in shojo and and any other genre, but even when the author's TRY to reflect reality of human relationships, they fail. Everything is way too superficial and unconnected. Characters feel like plot devices there to make you feel good.
VERY few anime do it right, like 1%. While Western anime-like cartoons for all ages, do this a lot better.

You have to consider that Japanese people are very socially retarded as a whole. Most of them are loners and on top of it suppressed by strict codes of conduct, live very sad lives unable to connect to others. ESPECIALLY the manga and anime crowd. There are normal people among them too, but percentage of social incompetence is a lot higher in there.

[Rei02]

I don't think they are socially retarded, but it is pretty sure that they are taught and used to suppress and bottle their feelings if it is for the common peace and harmony of society. Because of a strict code, it is difficult to get a real experience of the people they describe in both the manga and anime.

And I think that part of human nature is to be attracted to what you see different, although in the end you can get married and decide to make a life with someone who has the same principles and rules you were taught since childhood.

Japanese are taught to always be polite and not to complain of everything, and the ones allowed are the ones who are at the top of hierarchy either because of age or job rank. (trust me, I have dealt with an elder woman who didn't let me enter to the restroom to find my umbrella, and after that, she and her friend complained that I put my bag in the table when I just wanted my umbrella back)

[SIGguy]

I confessed my feelings to 2 different girls. After that, I hit a spot of self-awareness. I realized that I'm becoming like my father, a loser, trying so desperately to live the Andy Griffith life. He always raised my siblings and I to believe that we need someone to be with. That isn't true. My mother survived for quite some time alone, why can't I be more like her?

[Sailormoonprincess]

This is anime.. shhhh

[Sailormoonprincess]

But don't be sad :) be Happy!!

[jjmarvin]

Andy Griffith is best anime

[SIGguy]

@jjmarvin Andy Griffith isn't anime. It's a 50's sitcom.

[jjmarvin]

@SIGguy is best at getting sarcasm

[SIGguy]

@jjmarvin You realize I have Aspergers, do you not? Sarcasm isn't my strong point. People have said dumber things, so I about have to expect something dumb from everyone, including you.

[jjmarvin]

Umm ok

[Sailormoonprincess]

I have aspergers and I find you very shameful

[Anonymous]

I'm not sure if it will ever reflect reality, but I always like that romance seems very fair in anime. Guys and girls can both confess, seems nice. Just it's mostly highschool stuff so of course romance at that age is going to be less conditional, plus it's very idealized. If it's reflecting adult relationships then the guy is going to have to have a job or be very capable somehow, and I'm not sure if the fairness will hold up.

[Azara]

Women work. More women are supporting their families than are men.

[Opinion Owner]

That doesn't mean the expectations aren't there. @Azara

[Sailormoonprincess]

Stfu if you ain't just gonna love the entertainment

[Opinion Owner]

I do, but I can let it fuel my imagination about how I'd like the world to be or how it should be.

[Azara]

Last one sucked. She asked permission to confess and he said no and she accepted that. There's no reason for any of that she could have just straight off told him.

And no I dont notice anyone being obsessed with titles,

[TheDevilInside]

The only anime I can stand is doraemon. But that's probably because it's more about friendship and being a good person than about sappy love stories in weird ass voices.

[RationalLioness]

I found those to be ludicrous. I prefer men who aren't as "crazy" and know how to calmly approach a woman to reveal his interest. It's really that simple.

[sailorjupiter]

hi sailormoon!
yes, i definitely love the anime love confession..
but in reality... it's never like that...;(

[Anonymous]

Ugh, I just want a guy to be up front with me. Tell me and/or show me how you feel straight up, no BS or playing around.

[Byakuyarko]

romance, like sushi, in anime is probably way way way better portrayed than what it actually is in real life...

[Sailormoonprincess]

In real life... Girls are more out of control and boys ain't as cool

[Byakuyarko]

anime guys (in the romance anime anyway) are wimpy closet pervs... But I guess some people like characters like that...

[JustinX9]

As much anime girls are confessing to boys, well boys are expected to do the first move

[Sailormoonprincess]

Nah... this be more realistic

[JustinX9]

Well it is easy too watch buy in reality, guys are expected to do the first move. Rarely happens to girls, but I experienced this once only when I was a freshman in high school

[Sailormoonprincess]

Brave girl she must've been

[JustinX9]

I was too scared around girls that time so we never really got into relationship, she is pretty though but end up with another guy

[JustinX9]

I can say she's the aggressive one

[Azara]

Expected from who?

[JustinX9]

@Azara girls expect guys to do the first move

[Azara]

no. guys expect guys to make the first move. women get punished for doing so.

[JustinX9]

I don't really understand this world

[John_Doesnt]

Romance in anime from a girl's perspective? You just ruined anime romance.

[Kelfuma]

Isn't this how the Japanese do this dating thing? I still don't get why their women reply "let me think about it" when the guy asks her out.

[Rei02]

Dude, anime just express people's idealization and things different from their society, they put impossible things in the real world but in the anime they made them possible.
Eg. Ice queens can have their hearts melt and become nicer with the guy after treating him like garbage or like a worm.
Attractive men with a dark and troubled past can be saved by an innocent and naive girl even though they treat her badly or are too possessive and abusive but in the end they are the true love.
Timid girls or guys need to speak up and become stronger and complain more, although they only end in the friend zone if they are not the protagonists.
This can be more tolerated if the person is physically attractive.
If they fight, that means that they love each other or from hate love can come.
In other words: More aggressive, more jerk***, more bad temper he/she has, more hot he/she is.

[ThatBritishLad]

Ahh fuck, romance anime. Few things more sickening for the palate.

[Folklore]

I love anime. But romance anime is retarded.
