The romance genre is perhaps one of the most popular and loved anime genres of all time. It’s an evergreen landscape of authentic, tropey, cringey, and heartwarming stories that have kept the audience engaged for decades. Whether it’s first love, a messy high school love triangle, or a struggling marriage, the romance genre in anime has dominantly told stories that are both formulaic and standalone. One of the key qualities of the romance genre is its ability to complement almost every other sub-genre. Romance is so volatile that it never feels out of place when inserted in a hardcore shonen, a comedic isekai, or even a spy thriller. Viewers can enjoy an adrenaline-infused shootout in a high-octane anime, but that same story can accommodate a fleeting love affair between the cold and calculated heroine and the handsome underdog.Romance isn’t definitive or limited; rather, it has a broad spectrum that covers aspects of love, befitting a particular story or genre without standing out too much. Fans have become so accustomed to the idea of love in anime that the fandom would instantly ship couples even if the series never intended to go in that direction. It’s the innate quality of romance to appeal to a broader audience because of its flexibility in incorporating better storytelling, inducing a lighthearted vibe, and creating cross-genre appeal.That’s the beauty of the romance genre; it can influence the viewers into remembering an action anime through an intense yet meaningless kiss between the protagonists. If the villain does not die, the last thing that the audience can remember is the hero and heroine ending up together after fighting all odds. In almost every story, whether it’s about a post-apocalyptic world like Attack on Titan or a fictitious ninja realm like Naruto, romance acts like a binding force that brings the plot together. AoT would’ve felt hollow without the complicated love dynamics of Eren and Mikasa. Even though romance was the least explored sub-genre in the anime, its presence elevated the plot to a whole new level and even served as a significant element in the conclusion. In action-packed anime series like Sword Art Online, Darling in the Franxx, and even Naruto, romance catalyzes giving characters deeper meanings and emotional arcs. While the show may not be about young love, romance does play a vital role in adding emotional depth and complexity.
