Golden Time - Episode 1
You like romantic comedies with crazy characters, right? Here's some flowers to congratulate you on your first day in college... upside your head! Repeatedly!
I do enjoy a well written romantic comedy, and Golden Time looks like it delivers (so far) on a few necessary things. 1) Likeable main character, but not oblivious, not a sad sack, and relatable by being slightly shy. That's your clue in most anime that he is to be the viewer's avatar (demographically young, male, socially inept). 2) Lots of female characters. Yup. And different types too. 3) Crazy characters. The main love interest is probably taking the lion's share of this one. 4) Support characters with backstories that can drive the plot short distances. Yeah, your new bro tried to run away from some crazy childhood friend intent on marriage. Bad luck, bro. 5) Realistic setting for meeting new people. Usually that means entering a new school or town. College freshmen? Check. Golden Time has made the short list for 10 Second Anime blogging.
