Make Heroine ga Oosugiru!

Despite not understanding much about fleeting teen romance, first-year high school student Kazuhiko Nukumizu still wonders how he would react if his life were to be turned into a love story. Regardless, as a self-proclaimed "background character," Nukumizu is satisfied continuing his life as an introvert with a negligible social life. However, he suddenly finds himself too close to the spotlight when he witnesses his popular classmate Anna Yanami be rejected by her childhood friend in the middle of a family restaurant.

While Nukumizu wishes he could just forget what he saw and move on, Anna ends up forcefully confiding herself in Nukumizu, lamenting her status as a childhood friend fated to have her beloved stolen. As he becomes dragged into Anna's situation, Nukumizu soon gets caught up in the relationship drama of two more girls: Lemon Yakishio, an outgoing member of the track and field club; and Chika Komari, a shy member of the literature club. Now thrust out of his comfort zone, Nukumizu finds himself a major character in the lives of too many losing heroines.

I can't stomach romance shows like i used to, but i still rather enjoyed this one, the way the girls act and deal with rejection is somewhat realistic and you do feel for them in their denial at times, especially the blue haired one, she's no doubt the best character here, very fun to watch and she's definitely my spiritual animal I swear
I could talk about a lot of annoying things in the show but they don't matter much, however my biggest problem with it is the unnecessary fan service, I liked these girls struggles, so when they humanize someone and then use it ... for fan service I just roll my eyes, and in general i just don't like seeing it
but overall it's a good show

Mixed Feelings

Story: 10/2
Characters: 10/7
Art: 10/9
Music: 10/6
Overall enjoyment: 10/5

Story: for me i don't think anything happened in this anime, there is a main character He wakes up in the morning, his sister prepares dinner for him, he goes to school, he talks to his friend on the way to school, he drinks water at school (it's in all the episodes without exception), then he talks to his other friends while eating lunch, then they meet outside, the main character sees his friend home and the episode ends, nothing really changes on further episodes.

To summarize briefly, we are watching a boy's ordinary daily life and that's it.

Art: art ... and color palette of this anime because they are awesome, it's really natural to me,color palette of this anime is one of my favorites.

Characters: They feel like they are really living, the characters of this anime are lively but not too interesting, i didn't like the characters but they are not bad, writers did a good job of making the characters feel alive.

Music: They are okay, nothing wrong about it but nothing special, outro music is good intro music is good, suitable for the episodes.

Enjoyment: At first episode, it was interesting and good, it was a really good start but after the first episode, nothing changes, nothing happens, this anime have no story, just a guy living inside Japan. After 7th episode i said "what am I watching? Why i am watching this? And absolutely nothing changed after that.

"The anime has no point, it leads to no conclusion. No idea, no message, no moral... nothing. A waste of time." (Who ever said this, he/she is absolutely right)

In conclusion, i recommend you to watch first episode but i don't recommend you to watch further episodes.

Makeine was an anime that I had high expectations for. The ammount of hype and praise it got right after its release and the promise of showing us a realistic highschool romance experience was enough for me to pick it up. It should be obvious that it was a horrible decision on my end.

Makeine is the single worst "romance" anime I have ever seen in my life. I won't go into a lot of detail about it but the reasons are as the following.

Makeine was the first anime to make me suffer as much as I did. Not because I related to the painful reality ... of rejection when it comes to highschool romance or anything. No, the reason behind me suffering is how boring this anime was. By the final episodes all I could do was to scream for it to end.

The decision of using the male MC as a tool for showing us what the female cast is experiencing is certainly a unique method of storytelling. I mean, I think it is what they aimed for because the male MC (whose name I sadly have forgotten during the time of this review) is the lamest and meaningless excuse for a main character I have seen in any romance anime. He shows no sign of character for the majority of the anime and when he does it is the most idiotic showing of character imaginable.

The female cast is insufferable. All of the main girl characters are incredibly annoying and far from being likeable. The show's main plot of being overlooked by your childhood friend when it comes to romance is also a huge part of the reason the main female cast suck. They all have the same problem so they all whine and cry about the same thing. What even was the reason to have multiple girls if they all go through the same things with no satisfying resolution in the end.

The only positive aspect of this anime is of course the art and animation. It is perfect. Nothing more to say about it.
