# Where to Watch Golden Time

**Golden Time moves its romantic chaos to college, giving the story room to focus on the uneasy link between memory and the person someone chooses to become. Hulu carries the complete TV series. Across 24 episodes, its courtship comedy gradually gives way to heavier drama as Banri's missing past presses against his relationship with Kouko. It is a good fit for romance fans who want emotional friction and an ending that resolves the central story, rather than a school comedy that stops just as the relationship gets complicated.**

## Synopsis

Banri Tada begins law school in Tokyo after an accident has erased his memories. His new friend Mitsuo is soon confronted by Kouko Kaga, the intense childhood friend who has followed Mitsuo to college because she believes they belong together. Banri initially gets pulled into their conflict as an observer, but his connection with Kouko changes the shape of the situation. Their growing relationship must contend with insecurity and with the life Banri cannot remember. The series keeps the premise spoiler light at first, using awkward comedy to establish the group before the consequences of Banri's amnesia take greater weight.
