Is it Hard to Watch Romance Anime While Being Single?

I had to come to terms with the fact that I might be lonely for the rest of my life, which is a fact. It’s not like I’ve given up hope on finding someone that’s out there for me, it’s just not a good time for me to seek out a relationship at the moment. It’s better for me to put the thoughts of being in a relationship in the back of my mind and go on about my life as the single guy that I am.  But, when I watch me a great heartwarming and loving romance anime like Wotaku, that thought of me not being in a relationship starts creeping back up from the back of my thoughts, and I hate it!


We watch romance animes for those good heart touching moments and to see two of our favorite characters be a couple and spend a happy life together. Are at least, that’s what they’re supposed to be for. For someone who is single, romance anime can be a torture to sit through. It reminds you of what you don’t have, someone their beside you to hold you and love you. It make your life seem so boring and lifeless compared to your anime counterparts. Sure, a relationship is not always going to be sunshines and rainbows, of course you’ll see all of the bad times that they experience during their relationship, but, the good times always out way the bad.


Wotaku is a perfect example of a show that’s hard to watch when you’re single. Hell, it’s hard to watch this show if you don’t have any friends at all. The main character Nifuji (blue hair), Momose (pink hair), Kabakura (orange hair), and Koyanagi (green hair), have such great chemistry together.The four more main characters are all otakus in their own right, which make the relatability for the viewers ten times more. The more you spend your time watch this show, the more you’ll be wishing that your life could be like them. A group of friends that work together and play together, now that’s the american dream!


They even make conflict look like fun!


In the end, maybe romance shows like this are a good thing. Maybe shows like this are what will finally make us lonely otaku boys and girls get up off our asses and finally go talk to that girl or guy, that we’ve always liked. Hey if Nifuji could do it then so can you!


Wait?! Of course he can fucking do it! He's fucking hot!


Are you watching Wotaku? Is it hard for you to watch romance anime while single? Are you going to ask that special someone out finally? Tell us in the comments below.

It's not hard for me. Then again, I'm not normal. Nor do I watch anime, but reading hentai is sort of similar. Anyway same boat as you Kinky sort of. Looking for a better job, while working in a terrible job, just to pay for the bills, and taking care of my family (mother, and psycho brother) prevents me for looking for love. Plus all the stress from the last 9 to 10 years doesn't help.

For me it is not hard to watch, but hurts immensely. Though i really enjoy romance anime and hentai that has a good story with it. They encourage me to try and find someone, though when you manage to graduate with a class of 100+ and never once had a girlfriend the whole time you were once in school you don't get your hopes up.

I only have difficulty accepting that sometimes the character the MC should be with won't be the one he ultimately chooses. Hardest romance for me to swallow was Golden Time - the girl that was chosen wasn't bad but the other girl that gets left behind got so cheated out of her happy ending just leaves a sad taste. It just depends on the anime for me.

I used to watch romance anime when I was single, and it wasn't so much difficult as make me completely disinterested in it. It's common sense a couple will bicker, but so many of them boggled me in how why people who lack that much chemistry in the first place would even bother getting together. It took BBC's Pride and Prejudice, though more Darcy calling Elizabeth out on her shitty behaviour.

For me, watching a romance anime was the first learned about what love is. I was fully aware that love can be a difficult thing to define for everybody because people experience different kind of love. I’m still having a difficult time understanding it even at 20 years old.
