It's the title of the show, so it's "why is" in this case. If we were literally talking about a group of children, it would be "why are," but the title of a series is not a collective noun even if it contains a collective noun. Blargh, grammar. ^^;

Ah, okay, I was wrong. I barged in here without reading the context of the article so I'm clearly incorrect. Carry on and apologies.

My only problem with this show is the subtitles translating it as "Dating Master" when the manga translation is "Love Master" which sounds a fair bit better

I haven't been keeping up with the anime but, oh god, they do? What the hell. Dating Master? That's so wrong. That's disgraceful.

I'm not sure if the purpose of this column is to hook us in or not, but I'm gonna start watching this show. Rom-coms are not my cup of tea, but comedy is and if this is as funny as Nick and Jacob mentioned, I'm in.

My favorite couple changes pretty much every episode, but I really like the comedy duo. They remind me of one of my past relationships the most. Or most of my past relationships really. I think one reason this show is so exceptionally relatable is because it runs through so many scenarios that at least one of them is bound to stick with pretty much everyone.

The purpose of This Week in Anime is generally just to talk about whatever we find most interesting from the season that week, good or bad. In this case, it was good!

AoTS for me. My favorite couple is Yuki and Jun, mostly because of Yuki making their segments comedy gold. Then I like the same couples as Jacob and Nick: Goda and Kamine, Chizuru and Takurou.
