yo, I have utterly no idea why I could complete this anime, I even rated it a 4 (and of the 2100+ animes I have watched by average score is 8, so that says a lot that I mon easily disappointed) but god this is a cluster fuck of fucks with no fucks given, sure, it was an improvement over "aho girl" the authors previous series, but come on I seriously don't know what to think, I both enjoyed and loathed id at the same time, guess ill go with my initial reaction of "I fucking love saki saki" yeah, I love the characters, I just hate the situation and I'm not even sure why, then again this just me ranting that I gave an anime I enjoyed 4, and this comes from a guy that gave eromanga sensei an 8 an oreimo a 9, just to illustrate how i have no common sense.

rant over, ill continue reading the manga btw.

The anime had a lot of cringe moments in it and some way too stupid moments but at least the finale is good.
5 or a 6/10 max.

Damn. It's not surprising that Naoya hasn't changed much throughout the years lol

The focus on Nagisa was interesting for a finale but it was nice seeing things end up happily. UI wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did

[quote=Pre_Yum message=64422921]Man... what a finale. I really enjoyed seeing Nagisa's past and how hard she tried and how much she improved just so that she can be with Naoya, a Pepega like him. Well, getting all flustered and going on what feels like a marathon, Nagisa confessed her feelings, how she feels about being his No. 2.

But, props to Naoya, he sure knows how to win a lady's heart for sure and the same goes for Nagisa. She earned it, tbh. And, yes, they confessed in front of Shino that they are two-timing. Looks like a rivalry is gonna explode between Saki and Nagisa and maybe someone else in the next season. They sure look ready for it tho.

Not my favorite show of this season, but definitely one of the funnier ones, for sure. Enjoyment-wise...? yes, I enjoyed it, more than I initially anticipated. I wanna see more of Shino in the next season. Please.[/quotekiryuu Shino seems so sensible also the way they added that "gym closet three-timing" scene felt like they rushed the ending..More screentime for Shino pls

Story-wise, this anime is very cringe. Comedy-wise, it's made me laughing out loud every episode. So, how to score this one, I wonder.

I'm still questioning why we got more Mirika's development than Nagisa or Saki. We got 4 episode dedicated on Mirika, even when she actually not the main heroine. Even we only learn about Nagisa's backstory in the final episode.

Okay, let's give it 7/10, I guess.

okay, "suddenly" for "plot" sake Shino is also in love for MC -_-"

They dragged out too much Rika´s matter; like I was really starting to feel bad for her, but they kept dragging it for about... half of the anime? -_- "


In general, it was good (although I enjoyed first half more). Unusual anime where the MC is dating 'for real' more than one girl at the same time with their consent.

This anime is cringe sometimes but its fun to follow ngl. Unlike other harem I root for 2 girls here Saki and maybe Shino but I wont be surprised it'll end in tears for these two. Nagisa is the purest girl out of all these 4 and that might make her ahead of everyone else as its always the case for harem romcom

What a way to finish this season, next season when?

I loved this way too much, probably gonna read the manga, a 9/10 for me, it seems the community is divided on those who hate it those who love it, I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed this way more than I should lmao.

Greatest cringe ever, even I need 24 hours interval when reach half of this episode, shrinking screen for dramatic scene was so cliche, and why mukai let her hand off? Just pull the hand and hug her so it much easier and more smooth to animate, but yeah the unexplainable feeling from shion should be appreciated, shion's va carries the last scene pretty hard tho, is y'all have better animation well this show gonna be precious

A far better show than it had any right to be, I give it a solid 7/10. I would've enjoyed it far more had that accursed Rika remained just a short-lived villain and Shino the nosy best friend; their constant intrusions cheapen the original threesome arrangement that already had plenty of challenges and drama to go through without going the tired route of "must add more harem members". And Rika never had any real reason to want in in the first place, yet there she was half the show shoving herself boob-first into the relationship without regard to any of their feelings (especially the MC's).

Actually remembering that blonde bimbo's continual presence pissed me off enough to drop it to 6/10.

I still believe this is anime of the year, only third to Attack on Titan and Quintuplets S2. Of course Jujutsu is going to win thanks to Crunchyroll shenaningans but it's whatever. No one will make me change my mind.

Very entertaining show, even if I got shocked during first episode. Original, excellent voices, and all the cast got jokes. My only complain is Naoya's serious tone. I know it's probably a director thing, but if Naoya voice wasn't so serious, I'd have enjoyed his acting more.

Better buy the fkin bluray. I really want a season 2 of this.

7/10

For a mediocre tier anime, this anime was quite enjoyable.
It was cringe indeed, but still funny in so many scenes.
The absurdity of this anime is the strongest point.

And,,,, I hope this anime get sequel so I could see more of Shino's scenes.

She just feels so shoehorned in compared to the rest. I didn’t care for Shino (we never really got to know her, I assume all the “best girl” comments are from manga readers or for appearance), but at least she was already connected to one part of the thruple and they established she’d had a longtime crush. Where was all that with Rika? A rich girl streamer with nothing in common with any of them and no reason to want to be around them who just happened to catch the three in action; why was she involved at all beyond blackmail and her petty ego? And all the focus on her came at the cost of character development for the main 3.

This was an otherwise refreshing take on the “harem” genre but it’s almost like that woman (and Shino to a lesser extent) was there just to adhere to tired harem tropes.

And not only that, but her character itself annoyed tf out of me. The whole thing with her camping on Naoya's property was funny given the type of show it was at first, but then you realize she was doing that out of pure pettiness and didn't even like him at the time. It just makes you realize how much of a narcissistic. self centered, disrespectful bitch she really is. Then she goes on to fall in love with him because he "protected her from her father" in her eyes, and goes on to ignore the feelings of both him and the other 2 main heroines in her pursuit of him. Really don't like her at all.

This Anime was really enjoyable at the beginning but all the needless intrusions and the constant itching for drama just turned me off. I wanted to see more progress with the three first because their relationship is still a mess, but no just more drama and every scene that has Rika is just so cringe and all over the place.

I have read and watched all Hiroyuki's work. Hiroyuki's joke is cringey but funny, sadly it does not show in this anime.

The jokes are not really funny and too much drama for a comedy show.

I dunno what's wrong with this work, it just doesn't click with me like his other works.

This series is so damn good, it's like the anti-thesis of the romcom genre but it just WORKS, I really don't get how people can hate this, geez human beings can be really dumb sometimes, I mean its fine we all have our opinions and stuff but I don't get how one could hate this beyond the fact that this dude is a two-timer, I mean he admits to it, and his pretty self-depreciating at first when people point it out but at the same time, this is fiction, I won't say its right irl to do this as adultery and cheating are bad, but when you're in a stagnant genre like romcom, it makes sense for new authors to try and come up with original ideas, like in Rent-A-Girlfriend, and if you want a unique experience that just feels good, I would recommend this, no joke, that's just how much I enjoyed it and I want people to feel or know how I saw it, sorry for rambling for so long, lol~^^'>3

I think you hit the nail on the head. There's too much drama for a comedy show. The show wants us to both laugh at the absurdity while also feel empathy for the cast, which way too often comes across as me being told to laugh AT the characters, not with them, when I really just feel bad.

For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations.

I like this anime, don't know why people give it less than 6?
It got catchy op and ed music that always made me cheerful. The first part of the show was better, but as a whole it was funny and I enjoyed watching it.
There is nothing special about Naoya, but I never care about male mc in harem anime.

I hope for second season to see three-timing.

This show is definitely one of the GOOD harem shows out there, in my personal opinion. It's difficult to find enjoyable harem shows honestly. I think the comedy is what made it bearable :) I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
