Anime Diss — With You, Our Love Will Make It Through, Fetishization That Make You Raise a Brow

Welcome to With You, Our Love Will Make It Through, the anime that confidently walks up to you, hands you a school-romance setup…
and then casually drops the bomb that the main love interest is a literal dog-man like that’s just a normal Tuesday.

Bruh… this series really had the nerve to look us in the eyes and say:

“Here’s your new romantic lead. He’s a DOG.”

Not dog-like.
Not “quirky personality.”
Not “symbolic animal traits.”
Nope.
Homies got the canine face, ears, instincts, behavior, EVERYTHING except a collar — and don’t worry, the story basically keeps hinting like he lowkey wants one.

The whole thing plays out like someone started making a wholesome school romance and suddenly decided halfway through:
“You know what this needs? Some fresh dose of Zoophilia.”

WHERE IT GETS REAL WILD

1. Every romantic moment relies on the dude being a dog

They didn’t even TRY to hide it.
All the “cute” moments?
All the tension?
All the “kyaaa~” scenes?

BRO, it’s literally:

• “He’s loyal like a puppy 😳”
• “He blushes like a puppy 😳”
• “He tilts his head like a puppy 😳”
• “He tries to protect her like a puppy 😳”

At this point I’m not watching a romance.
I’m watching someone fall in love with a rescue animal.

2. The relationship feels less like a couple and more like a girl who found a stray and said ‘mine’

Mari treats him like a mix of:

• boyfriend
• pet
• emotional support creature

Pick ONE, sis.
Not all three.

The dynamic reads less “romance” and more
“I can fix him… with treats.”

3. The story fetishizes the dog traits like it’s a personality

Dude barely gets actual character development because the show is too busy milking (pun intended, unfortunately) his canine quirks for fanservice.

Like bruh, give him a flaw that isn’t “whines adorably.”
Give him a conflict that isn’t “tail wagging too much.”
Give him a GOAL that isn’t “protect girl like loyal mutt.”

Man’s entire identity is:

“I am sweet, fluffy, and obedient.”
Which is a fantastic résumé if you’re applying to be a golden retriever.

But for a romance lead??
NAHHHH.

4. It tiptoes into fetish land with Olympic-level confidence

Let’s be real:
The charm ain’t the chemistry.
It’s the exotic aesthetic.

They want you to think the audience is swooning for the person —
but the framing is CLEARLY built to make you swoon for the animal traits.

That’s when it stops being “aww cute love story!”
and starts being “umm… the f*uk am i watching”

Like bro, if your romance hinges more on ears, fluffiness, and submissive puppy behavior than it does on mutual emotional development…

YOU HAVE LEFT THE GENRE.
You are now producing furry training wheels.

REAL TALK: FETISHIZATION NEEDS A SPEED LIMIT

Romance can be spicy.
Romance can be weird.
Romance can be “listen this is for the niche crowd and we don’t judge.”

BUT there’s a difference between:

“this character has unique traits”
and
“this character EXISTS to trigger a specific audience fantasy.”

And With You, Our Love Will Make It Through crosses that line like it’s blindfolded in a potato sack race.

If you want furry romance to hit, balance the fantasy with actual humanity.
Give depth, struggle, agency, personality.
Don’t build the entire emotional payoff around “he’s a cute dogboy who loves her lots.”

That ain’t romance.
That’s a kink with plot cameos.

The Final Slap

This story could’ve been a sweet cross-species romance.
Instead it turned into:

“What if your boyfriend was legally classified as a domesticated mammal?”

Ain’t no emotional climax.
Ain’t no mature arc.
Just a girl and her overgrown pet pretending it’s love.

If love’s gonna “make it through,” maybe it should try making it through
a species boundary without turning into a fetish buffet.
