Kanojo, Okarishimasu 3rd Season

I was trying to stay strong as Mizuhara but at the end, it kinda kicks me in the feelings.
The Design and Details are pushed in a good way, it looks more colorful and cute, perfect matching for this kind of anime style.
Season 1 and 2 were not bad and they had interesting character development but on S3 we finally see most of them more mature and grown up. If there is important takeaway from this season its:
No matter how strong you are its always good to share your feelings with someone, instead of letting them consume you.

i jumped into this show at season 3 and got the gist immediately: it's about the humiliating and demoralizing cycle of relationships and the failure to communicate between men and women. the lead character allows his obsessive, unrequited crush to degenerate him into true sociopathy, exploiting a rental girlfriend's family trauma so he can force himself into her most private, vulnerable moments. his sexual pathology - which drives this concurrent deification and objectification of his crush - is sketched out through racing, overanalytic thoughts ruminating over her every move, her every word. this brilliantly exposes the tragic and dangerous trajectory of unchecked, obsessive psuedo-love.
as a ... show, the experience can be mixed. sometimes it gets boring and you forget the main guy can be a full blown sociopath. sometimes the show devolves into sentimental speeches that make it difficult to discern how self aware exactly its creators are. the quirky supporting cast of "cute girls" come across as totems of fan service rather than actual characters and, while funny, the dialogue can be atrocious and corny, although this is likely a side effect of my needing the dialogue translated (i am not a speaker of the japanese language).
the show is at its strongest when it indulges in excruciating cringe comedy.

Personally I am very disappointed in the direction it was heading. I personally think Ruka is the best girl and Kazuya should have stayed with her but he cant even be fucking loyal like renting out Chizuru when you have a girl should not fly. Why is he not just going for the girl that clearly loves him its stupid and I hate it. RUKA IS THE BEST GIRL. Therefore I do not think others will enjoy the show the only reason I kept watching was because of Ruka. I really wish Ruka won but even though the anime is not finished I can ... clearly see that she is not going to win because of the MC dumb infatuation with his rental girlfriend neighbor. She also has the short blue hair anime girl curse which is really unfortunate. None of the characters were even good, apart from Ruka of course. I also am astonished that nobody but Ruka found it weird he was still renting a girlfriend even after dating Ruka for year. I just feel so bad for Ruka. Honestly I didn't even like Ruka at first. But the more she was shown on screen the more I emphasized with her and the fact she is getting cuck blocked by a rental girlfriend is just even worse. Although I did like the art design especially for Ruka, obviously. Honestly for some reason I just found myself infatuated with her. Come to think of it the same thing happened with Rui from Domestic Girlfriend. I honestly wonder what the connection is there. But it really is a great premise about a guy who leaves his rental girlfriend and ends up with a much better real girlfriend named Ruka but then they fumbled so God damn hard I'm starting to wonder if that was actually the real premise. In conclusion Ruka is amazing and all the other girls suck.
