How come there aren't any romance cartoons?
>>
>>150426881
Too boring for kids and the west sucks at writing romance. This includes romcom too.
>>
>>150426881
Because their target audience is playing dating sims.
>>
>>150426881
Star VS
>>
>>150427312
That show fucks up its romances.
>>
>>150428315
Yes, and the psychic agony it inflicted on anons afflicted by tumblr brainrot was delicious.
>>
>>150428331
Just give me recs for anime that don't fuck up.
>>
>>150428388
No :^)

>>150428412
Then end my life.

>>150428315
OP didn't ask for good romance.
>>
>>150428592
Sounds like you did.

>stealth anime faggot thread
Back to /a/ and kill yourself.
Romance is gay and boring and your shitty jap toons don't fix it either. Romance is only fit for subplots in cartoons not the main fucking show. And any romance animation that exists could easily be fit into a better plot. Get out and stop having shit taste /a/ssholes.

>>150428590
I am now.
>>
>>150428851
No I made this because I'm asking for recs. I'd've posted a Star Vs poster as the OP, but I couldn't find one.

Alright I'll choose to believe you, but I got my eye on you anon.
>>
>>150426881
Who needs romance when you have shipping?
>>
>>150426881
in todays market everything has to be multiple genres fused together so the most you can get is something with romantic elements but it has to be a hybrid of a bunch of other shit like steven universe etc
>>
>>150429022
But I thought air goes out of vents?

Why, cartoons should be wacky snd do stuff live action wouldnt properly, if i want romance ill watch those mexican soap operas
>>
>>150429175
Who says you can't be wacky and do stuff that can't be done in live action while also having romance?
>>
>>150426881
What did you think Adventure Time post season 3 was? Still an adventure series? LOL
>>
>>150429175
>mexican soap opera
A horror story in three words!
>>
>>150429232
I don't know what it was, but it abandoned almost all its romance stuff after the triple shark jump to end up a show about smoking a bowl. And then season 10 fucked up even harder and we're still feeling the aftereffects of it in the Fionna & Cake renewal.

For romance to be the backbone of a work, it must be a source of conflict. The last thing an emotionally unstable public wants is for their social hugbox to be a source of conflict.
>>
>>150426881
Why would there be? Books and live-action shows handle the same plots with less production resources
>>
>>150426881

Romance doesn't work when the girls are insufferable and that's the only kind of girl modern western writers know how to write.

>>150430772
Sounds like you have a point. For romance to work, you need the girl to be a normie.

Because the West isn't using animation to make up for their lack of live action media, unlike a certain nuclear wasteland that should have been abolished as a state 80 years ago.
>>
>>150426881
Because cartoons in America are aimed at kids, not teens, who have quickly moved to video games and TV shows.

Similarly, as to why romance comics are no longer a thing.
>>
>>150426881
Cape comics killed them. No seriously that's what was popular before superheroes took over. Just read Archie and laugh at a guy that gets bullied by two women that want to fuck him for some reason.

why do so many manga have abhorrently bad endings? not just disappointing or rushed ones but genuinely horrible, like they were written out of spite for the work and its fans
>>
>>150426881
Who would watch them? Grown men?
>>

>Because the West isn't using animation to make up for their lack of live action media
I would believe this if not for the abundance of absolute dogshit animated sitcoms that clearly only exist because they're cheaper to make than an actual sitcom with names people recognize.
>>
Because you wouldn't watch them, OP.
And just how you wouldn’t watch them, neither would anyone else. You cannot blame the cartoon-consuming public for not doing what you also wouldn't do.
There are romance webcomics, do you read them?
Webcomics such as Lovin' Sis, Darbi, and Uriah. Are you reading any of these? I bet you aren't.
>>
This vacuum was exactly why Scott Pilgrim was able to succeed.
I was surprised more people didn't try to follow it's success.

Westerners get lesbians and cuckholding please understand

>>150432683
Too many voices in my head telling me it's bad and race treason. Find something good.
>>
You can't make romance plots interesting enough for people to care. Look at Regular Show, the reputation of the cartoon is semi tarnished thanks to Margaret and Mordosimp.
>>
>>150433920
It would've been fine if they didn't bring Margaret back and just stuck to CJ. The season 5 finale was really funny with how the conflict was preventing financially invested forces from breaking Mordo and CJ up, but then season 6 just fucking blew it.
>>
>>150433797
You have brain damage.
