Horimiya is a little romantic comedy from the most recent anime season that when observed firsthand is interesting for its narrative “twists,” and that’s about it. The show centers primarily on two characters, whose names make up the portmanteau of the title.
Hori is a responsible, hard working, pretty popular girl who doesn’t spend time with classmates because she’s always busy taking care of her family. Miya is a quiet, bespectacled loner boy who is picked on for being a quiet bespectacled loner, yet turns out to actually resemble a bishonen rock star with his tattoos, long eyelashes,and homebrew ear piercings. The two become friends after Miya carries home Hori’s injured little brother, then romantically involved after they spend copious amounts of time together.
The first weird little twist the show introduced was two episodes back when Miya, himself prone to occasional violence toward friends and very occasionally toward those he sees as bullies, gets an urge to stick his foot on top of Hori’s head one evening after they started dating. This little act of “degradation” starts Hori down a path of wanting Miya to engage in various forms of BDSM by calling her names and even slapping her at times. This set the anime fans in the US on fire as they first were excited by fictional teenagers exploring the world of kinks, then angered because it was the boy striking the girl, then further enraged because the girl was “bullying” the boy into doing it in their ill-informed opinions. The fervor died down a bit and then...
In the most recent episode, Hori confronts Miya about other girls being interested in him and whether he has any interest back. Miya admits he’s actually not close with any girls other than her, and he’s closer with more guys. This becomes a brief, mildly paranoiac exchange where Hori tells Miya that if he cheats on her, it had better not be with a guy.
This event caused a Twittard meltdown of epic proportions as Hori was branded a homophobe and calls began for Hori’s dialogue to be fixed, and predictably, for Horimiya to be removed from all channels for this “blatant anti-LGBTQP” dialogue. The show isn’t terribly interesting or unique, but the idea it has a male character dominating a female character who is insisting upon it, and the female character makes statements that trigger faggots leads me to declare it the greatest anime series of 2021, and possibly the last twenty years. Heil Hori.
