In this episode of Anime Minority Report, we’re asking the real question: Is it more believable to fight demons with friendship—or fall in love after one awkward group project?

Host Jamie is deep in his romance era, bingeing titles like My Dress-Up Darling and I Married the Girl I Hated in Class. Meanwhile, Guerby still thinks slice-of-life anime is just anime without plot (rude). Can Nic and Jamie convince him to finally give heart-eyes and hallway crushes a chance?
