A Leftover Fragment of Nostalgia from Yester Decade's Tropes

Romance anime are in a different landscape nowadays, filled with safe tropes that aim to tug the heartstrings of viewers—and it did work in many moments—but it has gotten so stale and homogenized that it would be difficult to find an identity in each romance show. Not to say that romance series now wouldn't dare to take risks—since there are a couple that do and made a step above on breaking the medium—but it's difficult to find a romance show where it is littered with heavy drama between its characters. However, it used to be a norm back in the 2000s.
Romance animes in the 2000s and early 2010s, such as Toradora and Maid-Sama, are filled with characters that often banter with each other, creating this tension between characters and having that satisfying moment where they put their differences from each other aside and create this slowly growing bond, warming up to each other until they have fallen in love. Not to say that this is the objectively best approach for romance anime, but the abundance of these kinds of tropes captured many individuals in the romance genre. Fast forward to today, the strong contenders for these banter-style romance shows have been Kaguya-Sama: Love is War and the recently released Alya, but these animes alone are a few rarities with what romance shows have become today.
There are reasons why these tropes have slowly disappeared, namely that they don't really work in this day and age. People's preferences have changed, and the greater population has started to prefer a more dominantly calmer and wholesome approach in romance—and there is nothing wrong with that. However, at some point you might have a craving for rewatching those old tropes flourish once again. And this is where this anime enters in. ***
“I'm Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in my Class” is basically what the title is. It's a straightforward romance anime with a flair of the good and bad tropes of romance shows in the 2000s. It is littered with your expected spicy tropes that you've expected, ranging from characters bantering with each other—which is the main attraction that has carried this series all throughout—and side characters that are obviously ripped from yesteryear, namely the sister-role characters and a love triangle character—something that is rare too nowadays, apart from harem shows.
With that said, this is not a show where you will find meaning or profundity with its output. The characters in the show are playing their stereotypical roles to the point of having no unique personality that separates them from other characters from different shows, plotlines that you can expect from a mile away, and it can get tedious as you keep on watching with its repetitiveness. ***
This show is not the best romance show out there as it pretends to be, but it is mainly banking on its 2000s anime tropes, hitting that wave of nostalgia for the people who grew up with anime with these kinds of tropes. If you miss these kinds of tropes, you will be better off rewatching old romance series that might've offered better characters, plotlines, storytelling, animation, and direction. But if you're seeking a romance anime that tackles old tropes with a modern flair, this can just serve at its bare minimum. ***

A stupid and goofy anime that "might be fun to watch"
__I'M GETTING MARRIED TO A GIRL I HATE IN MY CLASS__ __SPOILER FREE REVIEW__
I had low expectations for this anime when the season started. However even though it's neither the best, nor the worst, it's still decent. The title... summarizes pretty well what's happening in the anime. There are cringe moments, ok moments, and that's all. Even though it's not an anime to be taken seriously, I found it interesting enough to watch weekly. Actually, I kind of enjoyed watching it every week. Why? Because in my opinion, it's a stupid, yet fun anime. You could call it "maybe fun to watch".
__The Premise - _6/10___

An old, rich grandpa finds his high school soulmate (basically an old grandma). Their nephews, by "coincidence" are in the same class and they are blackmailed into getting married by their grandparents because they believe they should experience the love they couldn't when they were young like them. The main character's grandpa buys them a house, they are forced to move in and that's where the story starts.

The girl starts off as a tsundere and slowly opens to the main character. Even though she seems stupid sometimes, I find their relationship to be quite funny. The main character is this "cool" and smart student who always gets top grades, being better than her without effort. That's why she starts off as someone who "hates" him.
__The Animation - _7/10___

It's a basic, not flashy animation, exactly what you need for this kind of anime. The character designs aren't particularly unique, but they're good enough. I genuinely enjoyed looking at this anime, even though I don't remember a moment where the animation shined. Overall, it lacks fluidity, but remains consistent throughout the series.
__The Characters - _6/10___

Houjou Saito is the male protagonist, being more laid back and doesn't really have a visible character development. He just becomes more attractive in the female lead's eyes and is kind of there for the sake of the plot. He is the usual smart student who doesn't put any effort into his studies, but somehow still nails any single one of them. He has a superior complex and shows signs of liking the female lead too.

Sakuramori Akane is the female protagonist, being introduced as a tsundere, but slowly starting to grow feelings for Saito. Her character development is... there. She starts by fighting with the male lead and eventually shows a variety of emotions, like jealousy or shyness. Even though she is almost a bland character, she is also the reason why this anime is stupid enough to be fun.

There are other characters too like Akane's best friend, her little sister or Saito's little sister, but I didn't think they were worth mentioning.

Their relationship leans more towards comedy than romance - it's somewhat platonic at first, but progresses gradually (despite them already being married).

For me, it's a rom-com fun to watch as long as you don't look for something wholesome, very good story wise or unique. It has a mid premise, with some mid characters, that you'll probably not remember for something special, but even with these drawbacks, I found it a good watch.

So...

If you're looking for deep romance or serious storytelling, this ISN'T FOR YOU, but if you want a lighthearted, ridiculous rom-com with some funny moments, give it a shot!

I also have to say that this anime has its ups and downs, sometimes it becomes weird, sometimes it's tolerable, and other times... I don't know what it is.
