Anime that features "normal everyday stuff" is sometimes referred to as Slice of Life Anime. "Horimiya" is far from the only one, but it's one of the sweetest for sure. Glad you're watching it!
Like "Shimamura", HORIMIYA is a melodramatic slice, but of a slightly different plan. Although the title focuses only on Kyoko Hori and Izumi Miyamura, the anime itself tells about a whole layer of characters with their dreams and problems. Female characters are usually at the forefront. Their feelings are conveyed to the viewer not only through words, but also through a picture that focuses attention on all sorts of little things, like how the heroine squeezes the edge of her skirt in her fingers, how she looks at how her hands move. The male characters are shown no less embellished. Some of them are even set up in such a way that I wouldn't be surprised if one of the guys wants to add them to their list of waifs. Well, the romance. Not some kind of fake harem and all such "choo-choo" and "wee wee" nya... but rather serious and, even, in places, giving off some kind of breath-taking passion. When you see this, you realize that this is not childish childishness, but real love. The visual in the anime, the plot and humor may be simple, but they are definitely made with taste. It is pleasant to watch what is happening. And worrying is even more pleasant. So Horimiya can safely become an excellent anime for leisure evening viewing both in proud solitude and with someone else.🙆🏼♂️ Great reaction. Thanksss! 🦊🔮
Remember that piercings and tattoos are viewed much differently in Japanese culture which is why everyone freaks out about them and why Miyamura has to hide them at school
im so glad you guys are watching this show. It's definitely a comfort show for me. Be ready to see a whole bunch of self aware mature teenagers navigate their feelings for each other.
Excellent pick with this, one of the best romance animes out there. 1:45 you'll love just how goofy this teacher is with his weird comments. 4:35 excellent eyes, Magy, well done! 7:06 mostly because of the strict dress code, that's the best guess/explanation. 10:17 operation "get me those eggs asap" begins! 11:22 Magy predicting what they were about to say perfectly, love to see it! By far the most adorable scene in this episode. 13:59 good observation there, explains why this is such an important scene. 19:14 not what you'd expect from your typical romance anime with a billion detours and pointless little dramas. These 2 actually communicate and express their feelings, which is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the sweet reaction, you're in for an incredibly sweet ride with this one ❤
I didnt expect having Horimiya here. But im here for it. It is one of my fav animes... Im not even joking, it is really good. Really hyped about it, thanks for the content! :D
As an avid anime watcher, I appreciate this reaction. Horimiya is an amazing anime and Def in my top 10. It is sweet and hilarious in so many different aspects.
While watching Just keep in mind time moves really fast in this anime. Sometimes it feels like things are progressing too fast but in reality Days or weeks passed between the scenes
horimiya yeahhhh the best and most realistic Romcom anime out there man its just the something else , and the feeling of nostalgia that this anime gives u oh god , especially for people like me who are associate with miyamuraa (both in personality and his past kinda) so yeah it just hits different , also well i won't spoil u anything just i am gonna assure you that this anime is DIFFERENT and thats its the GOAT of Romcom , u gonna understand with the time what i mean with it being different , almost every aspect that it has is less ''anime'' and more ''real life'' stuff and thats what makes it just so good
13:22 As an asian speaking, our schools (or specific ones) are REALLY strict with dress codes and appearances. That's why we go ham in coloring it in summer lol
My suggestions: Your Lie In April / Shigatsu wa kimi no uso A piano prodigy boy with a traumatic childhood due to his abusive mother, meets a violinist girl with her own secret, and re egnites his passion to play the piano.

Romance Comedy, this is one of my favorites from the recent anime. S3 coming soon hopefuly. My Dress-Up Darling / Sono bisuku dôru wa koi o suru A popular girl that also does cosplays meets a quite boy that is good at sewing clothes. He decides to use his skills to help her out with her cosplays.(Romance Comedy) Another recent cute romance anime worth watching. Himouto! Umaru-chan An anime about a popular, pretty, smart, in nutshell a perfect high school girl. but when shes home she is the absolute opposite, all she does is playing videos games, read manga, and drinks cola with chips. (Comedy / slice of life) Also one of my favorites, Umaru has a lot of character and the anime is very cozy. Some other suggestions: Death Note: A boy finds a notebook capable of killing anyone whose name is written into it. A detective tries to catch the killer. (Classic must watch anime).

Some anime movie suggestions: Grave of the Fireflies: (Studio Ghibli movie) A Heart breaking WWII anime about a homeless boy and his little sister trying to survive the war. If this is too dramatic you can watch any other studio Ghibili movie, they are all fantastic! Live-action series/movies (If you are tired of 2D people) Good Morning Call (TV Series) Based on A Manga. Its about a high school girl who ends up living with a popular boy from her school due to a housing scam, The two are forced to share an apartment despite being complete opposites. (Comedy / Romance) If you are into romance Anime you should also try K-Dramas, they do romance pretty good. If I remember more anime, ill try to edit the comment and add them. thank you for reading :D
Horimiya is definitely among my top 20 favorite anime. I have never tried to make an official ranking so I couldn't say where it lands, but it is up there. Just for context, I've watched almost every "slice of life" anime on Crunchyroll, Hidive and Netflix. Shonen and other "action/sci-fi" genres are not my thing, so they will never be in my list.
Some of the things that happen in this anime can seem weird or a little out of date, until you realise that this episode starts in July 2007 (so no smartphones, and some of the other things we are now used to hadn’t been invented yet).
recommendation: Lycoris Recoil. If you want another genre of anime to try, there's yuri. try these: Bloom Into You, I'm in love with the villainess, Kase-san and morning glories and, Whisper me a love song.
There is a series who already crossed 350+ chapter(Manga) but no romantic development happened, there are series which ends the series with confession to each other. But this series move faster in romantic development than any other romcom series, that's why it is one of the best. One last thing - Don't Miss End Credits After The Outro (They Are Important)
I want to correct you on somethings Miyamura said "I thought for sure after yesterday, you'd just avoid being around me." he didn't said that because he has crush on hori, It is related to his past (in his chilhood everyone used to avoid him, I will not spoil much, you will see it in later episode then you will understand the line's context). Hori was first one to fall in love with Miyamura, then Miyamura falls for her. The color shade which comes out from their back it actually represents their emotions shades. When Toru says "the two of you aren't anything alike." Toru mean like someone like you (Miyamura) can't date Hori, you are not worthy to date her, he criticize his looks and behavior , I am totally against it. If you are totally different from each other that doesn't mean you can't date each other.
Post credit scene ep.1, 7, 12. Ep.3 big moment is a mistranslation. Enjoy it but don't read to much in it. This anime has a lot of timeskip, between start of ep.1 and end of ep.2, almost 9 month went by.
for as good as the early Horimiya is, later parts of it are boring disappointment. I say it as someone who started reading it way back when it was a web comic called Hori-san and Miyamura-kun before manga publication. Early parts of the series are top notch though.
OMG HORIMIYA REACTION, this is the anime that healed me when i finished watching attack on titan
Ayy
if u want to healed completely, go watch "Boku no pico"
Same
Как же я тебя понимаю. Тоже прошёл этот путь.

Bro, this comment is perfect
Now it will be one of my favorite anime🤗🥹🫶
💯💯💯
Remember that piercings and tattoos are viewed much differently in Japanese culture which is why everyone freaks out about them and why Miyamura has to hide them at school
In Japan tattoos pretty much mean Yakuza in most people's minds

Didn't expect Horimiya to be the next one, but as an old friend used to say, "A surprise for sure, but a welcome one"
Hello there!
As far as romance anime goes, Horimiya is one of the best.
As an avid anime watcher, I appreciate this reaction. Horimiya is an amazing anime and Def in my top 10. It is sweet and hilarious in so many different aspects.
While watching Just keep in mind time moves really fast in this anime. Sometimes it feels like things are progressing too fast but in reality Days or weeks passed between the scenes
👆 yes! this!
Also, some episodes (like this first one) have additional scenes after the credits, so you want to be sure to check all of them.
I'm in my late 20s and this is one of my go to anime, love to see you reacting to this masterpiece
Always happy to see more reactions to Horimiya! It's my favorite anime!
horimiya yeahhhh the best and most realistic Romcom anime out there man its just the something else , and the feeling of nostalgia that this anime gives u oh god , especially for people like me who are associate with miyamuraa (both in personality and his past kinda) so yeah it just hits different , also well i won't spoil u anything just i am gonna assure you that this anime is DIFFERENT and thats its the GOAT of Romcom , u gonna understand with the time what i mean with it being different , almost every aspect that it has is less ''anime'' and more ''real life'' stuff and thats what makes it just so good

OMG YEEEES HORIMIYA REACTION THANK YOUUUU
OMG a romance anime!! YAASSS!! I hope you two continue to explore this genre (a sign of love is also super wholesome)
OMG A ROMANCE ANIME 😍😍😍 And Horimiya to boot! You should start exploring more romance anime 😁Anyways Great Reaction Video can't wait for the next!
Two of those that you might like is " My Dress up Darling" and one of the best comedies I have seen "Konosuba"
Konosuba isn't something that should be seen until you've got several isekai series completed so you get the humor .
If you guys love Romance Anime then give 'The Dangers In My Heart' a ty too. Its definitely one of the best ones in this decade.

I'm really really glad that you're exploring the romance genre of anime as it's the best in the world.
Horimiya is definitely among my top 20 favorite anime. I have never tried to make an official ranking so I couldn't say where it lands, but it is up there.
Just for context, I've watched almost every "slice of life" anime on Crunchyroll, Hidive and Netflix. Shonen and other "action/sci-fi" genres are not my thing, so they will never be in my list.
Wait for teh episode 6 and see the opening, is just wonderfull
Does enyone realize, that hori's voice actress is the same with asuna from SAO
They also made a live action Horimiya series that came out the same year as the anime.
For slice-of-life romance anime, this one is (I'd say) definitely the gold standard. Glad to see you two are reacting to it.
If you like this kind of soul healing animes, I'd recommend Gakuen Babysitters, Papa no Iu Koto wo Kikinasai!, and Acchi Kocchi
Hey a new Horimiya reaction. 😅😅😅 You are in for a ride. Enjoy!
I love Hiro as a character, she is fantastic. One of my fav waifus
Some of the things that happen in this anime can seem weird or a little out of date, until you realise that this episode starts in July 2007 (so no smartphones, and some of the other things we are now used to hadn’t been invented yet).
Can't wait for these reactions!! It's my favorite!
I RECOMMEND MY DRESS UP DARLING!
Horimiya season 1 is beautiful!!Hope u ladies enjoy it!!
recommendation: Lycoris Recoil. If you want another genre of anime to try, there's yuri. try these: Bloom Into You, I'm in love with the villainess, Kase-san and morning glories and, Whisper me a love song.
Horimiya,good choice👍🏻
Maid-sama and Love is hard for an Otaku are both great rom-com anime .
You girls should have reacted to the English dub, I think it's actually pretty good, unlike most other anime English dub
There is a series who already crossed 350+ chapter(Manga) but no romantic development happened, there are series which ends the series with confession to each other. But this series move faster in romantic development than any other romcom series, that's why it is one of the best.
One last thing - Don't Miss End Credits After The Outro (They Are Important)
I LOVE horimiya. Great choice for a new romcom. Wait till you get to episode 9. Omg
5K people demand you to continue this reaction!!!
RomCom in this channel was a no brainer tbh.
Your lie in April will be another good choice too.
An amazing series choice, I have no doubt, you both will enjoy this anime
I recommend "The Dangers in My Heart" and "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War". 😉
The dangers in my heart is cringe
espero disfruten de este hermoso anime viendo como son sus personalidades seguros les encanta horimiya es un muy bune anime de romance🥰
Bruh wait till you see how the dad reacts to miyamura XD
When are you gonna update your playlist gurll !! 🥲😭😭
Next: My Tiny Senpai or Monster Musume. Two of the most adorable anime out there!
One of the best romcoms!
I want to correct you on somethings
Miyamura said "I thought for sure after yesterday, you'd just avoid being around me." he didn't said that because he has crush on hori, It is related to his past (in his chilhood everyone used to avoid him, I will not spoil much, you will see it in later episode then you will understand the line's context).
Hori was first one to fall in love with Miyamura, then Miyamura falls for her.
The color shade which comes out from their back it actually represents their emotions shades.
When Toru says "the two of you aren't anything alike." Toru mean like someone like you (Miyamura) can't date Hori, you are not worthy to date her, he criticize his looks and behavior , I am totally against it. If you are totally different from each other that doesn't mean you can't date each other.
If I’m not mistaken, the piercings and tattoo was his way of self harm
