Hmm, so Shuu finally got back his memories. It feels like he became smarter to me with them being reinstated. It will be interesting to see if he'll still have them at the end of the next episode, that is if Kisara ends up joining the battle.

No way this dropped under a 7? People on MAL have such shite tastes lmao.

Absolute masterclass of an episode. Story boarding, voice acting, etc were all great. I still don’t see how they wrap everything up next week tho. We need that second cour or a second season. The mom is still out there ..


Well, the mc is a dubious womanizer, and all the main characters are hopeless (dame). It was obvious that the note would be like this. For better grades, it would be better to invest in a shounen-style mc, or in a waifu-only anime. And avoid any controversial topic.

That’s clearly not the case since plenty of non Shonen have above a 7? Not sure if it’s because you clearly don’t speak English as a first language but that argument made no sense.

I agree with you that this show is underrated. Heck, I even find this show more entertaining than Lycoris Recoil and I am more invested in the relationship between Kisara and Shu than Chisato and Takina.

But he has a point though. One of the main complaints that I see in reviews that gave a low score is the unlikable MC, and the kind of toxic and manipulative relationship between him and Kisara.

This show isn't made for normies who need to have a likable MC.

Been saying this is better than lycoreco since ep 1 but I do agree with casuals hating on it

Which meant that this type of MC would be accepted more easily. Well, in this type of story, the most common would be a dense and very kind character. It has a lot of controversial points, so unfortunately that's to be expected. Which is curious, since it's the Youjitsu season, which has several very controversial points, but I rarely see anyone complaining about it.

Kinda sad the anime is ending next episode. If we got better scenes with Shu actually partaking in the action this could’ve been better. Also, if Shu was a bit more likeable or capable like Chisato (who people seem to rave about but I don’t care about) then more people would be enjoying this. It was a blown opportunity not to have a better mc imo, as that likely would’ve allowed it to garner more interest.

Youjitsu is more like mind-blown messed up. You see many stuffs like this, popular ones at that. To start: Death Note, Danganronpa, and you can go on and on. Engage Kiss is more like, there theyre showing him sleeping with people for absolutely no reason at all messed up.

The voice casts are amazing, Saito Soma to be expected but, Aizawa Saya is too good. If there is a reason it is underrated, it's because it airs the same day as LycoReco. And why this dropped below 7 after ep 11 is because twitter people keep shoving it to everyone's faces saying it's incest (it's not even incest). Also to be honest, when I first saw the poster, I thought this was Guilty Crown. The first episode too. Way beyond the pink girl and the brown haired guy, more like, the girl fights more than the guy and the girl swearing to be his ally.


I was referring specifically to the relationship, Kei x Ayanokouji. But no one seems to care that he harassed her and used her as a tool.
Well, Ayanokouji has a poker face and is cool and smart. So I know what they like about him. Well, I don't want to complain about Youjitsu, despite having watched little of S2, I've read LN.
To repeat myself, Engage Kiss has a lot of elements that people won't like. Love triangle, Yandere, Sex, Sex Jokes, MC who can only fight with the girl's help, betrayal. The MC despite using the others, is not cool or anything like that. In fact he apologizes most of the time (even if he doesn't even know why).

Well, everything to do with Kanna is hilariously ridiculous and dumb in the most anime way. Yandere child sister warped by watching her brother have sex with girl after girl. Wild stuff.

There's no way Shu fucking survived that punch. He smashed the fuck outta himself on the ground. Anyway, brother vs sister is getting interrupted by the goat herself; Kisaragi.

It was the writer's intention for Shu to be unlikable and trashy. I am guessing that they did this so that they can show how Kisara's love and sacrifice for him changed him to become a better person.

Can't really have character development if he started off flawless. Also a morally flawless character does not suit the revenge theme.

Screw normies who only want to self-insert into a perfect and likable MC. This show is way deeper than what normies can understand.

This episode is very funny, I can't believe the reason Kanna went wild because of her brother's lecherous behavior towards women who are close to his brother. Seeing Kanna's reaction like that I smelled BROCON, Hmmm I think this is pretty good.

Poor Kanna

Shu finally has his past memories and became a normal MC.
Still, his lack of prowess are undesirable and he is still a womanizer, now how will he be able to talk to Kanna.
The other company mobs are useless though. It could be better with them around but meh, their characters were messed up.
But still underrated nonetheless.

P.S. I really hate the MC's conclusion that the only thing he can do is to seal her little sister away, again...
That kind of thought process is really boring. He could do better... seriously...

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Hold on. Is Shu 100% human, or is there some type of buff to grabbing the sword? I mean, if he's just human. He should be dead JUST from the whiplash of using the overboard or whatever it's called. And the reason who a demon to kill... wow. 
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

Kisara reaaly did care about Shu a lot. She never actually used his memories for power, but instead she used her own.

Overall :
- The graphic r very awesome, so colorful n awesome animation..
Watched it on 480p but can still feel like 720p..
- OP-ED song r kinda good (not the best but also not bad)
- the character really feel alive with their own characteristic

Tbh I am only watched next n next episode untill the end, just curious with their relationship goes to / lead to..
The hell with the case..
For ecchi/romance scene, we need atleast one or more scene for sister kiss or sayonara goodbye kiss 😅

Really good anime for those who liked ecchi-romance-action stuff, almost rate it 9/10.. But I think 8/10 is just enough..

N yappari (as I guess), his lilsis is brocon N they r lived happy (right..?) 😂

So Kanna had to watch Shuu banging a bunch of strangers for twelve years. Makes Kisara's angst over a single memory of Shuu and Ayano sleeping with each other seem insignificant in comparison.
