Synopsis

A secret life is the one thing they have in common. At school, Hori is a prim and perfect social butterfly, but the truth is she's a brash homebody. Meanwhile, under a gloomy facade, Miyamura hides a gentle heart, along with piercings and tattoos. In a chance meeting, they both reveal a side they've never shown. Could this blossom into something new? (Source: Funimation)

Horimiya's First Half is Where It Shines, but Falls Flat in the Second Half.

Horimiya is going to be one of the shows that I personally, will have a weird rating for. I'll explain why, but first, the show itself. img500(https://lostinanime.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Horimiya-06-32.jpg) # __Something to appreciate__: I think something that I appreciate about Horimiya i…

Finding the True Side of Horimiya.

~~~ #"Everyone has a side they don't want others to see." img100%(https://lostinanime.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Horimiya-04-36.jpg) ~~~ *Horimiya* is built around this very idea, and I'm not just talking about our titular characters - there's more to this show than meets the eye. As an ani…

So much missed potential

There was really something special about this show and you could feel that as Hori and Miyamura got to know each other in the first 8-9 eps: their relationship was fun, entertaining and you could feel their connection and how much they loved each other. This relationship was what _made_ the show, it…

Horimiya deserves more respect for being the mature, realistic romance sought by many.

During the season of Fall 2020, an anime started airing that promised a more mellow and mature romance that didn't deliver on its premise at all, really. That anime was Tonikawa, and after that anime felt so poorly conceived, I was worried we'd always have the same tropes in anime with the nervous k…

An AMAZING romance story, but a show trying to fit too much for too many characters in not enough time

Romance that made me feel, laugh and think

It all started with the fact that I put off watching this series, and after that I regretted it. I watched every episode with rapture and wanted more and more. This story tells about Hori and Miyamura, who are the key characters in this story, although the author does not forget about the secondary…

Wholesome beginning with a lackluster ending.

Wholesome at the beginning, became flat in the end. This is the summary of this anime. Some people might love it, but the fact that it seems like the plot has been going ever since they did the deed made me thing that it was quite tiring to watch this entire show. I agree with some of the individual…

This anime is so incredibly overhyped and does not deserve the amount of love it so often receives.

This was actually so ******* ***. The plot was **** and the romance was very poorly developed. I suspect the only reason why people actually like this anime is because of the artstyle. Seriously, it was so boring. It felt like nothing even happened. There was no tension. No romantic buildup. They ge…

Amazing romance comedy, only big downside would be the rushed/wasted potential of depth :(

Summary : Good anime, worth the watch. Might seem a generic high school anime but it has it's own perfect elements.

I loved Horimiya, it had everything I could expect from a generic romance anime and to be honest, that's all I need. They didn't waste much time going into relationship and the world around is beautiful. At the last episode, I felt like it would have been better if Horimiya had more episodes, didn'…

Horimiya, the short anime that created a lasting effect on the romance genre.

There are a lot of anime that exist in the romance genre, but every once in a while, a new anime sprouts up and changes how the genre is viewed as. This generation, _Horimiya_ is the anime that did this. From the first episode, we already dive into the lives of the characters. Instead of lengthy c…

Main couple lacks finesse with weak romantic buildup and forced tension. Strong side characters salvage the series.

Horimiya fans swear by the show and you will hear them rate it very high, often among the top romance anime. Having finished the show, the initial verdict is that the show holds elements of brilliance and does some things quite well, but I hated many parts of the show as well. I'm not gonna go too m…

Very heartfelt, very cute, great chemistry. A romcom to escape the real world.

With what's going on in the world at the moment, I'm more than ever looking at anime, manga and video games as an escape from the dready reality of modern life. A friend of mine recommended me I go watch Horimiya, and I added it to my plan to watch list, but it was only after I was caught up with…
