Sueharu has such a punchable face lol

Not going to lie, the animation quality wasn't impressive but they threw in some priceless expressions especially for Shirokusa. Besides her, Kuroha also stands out as one of the main girls and easily one of the more popular types at school. Idk how to feel about the story yet as it obviously carries rom-com elements.

Probably going to be a popcorn comedy of the season. Sueharu really does have a punchable face...

So this is a comedy romance story that is quite unique, besides that the character introduction is pretty good, it's just that I don't like Maru MC who always runs away, I don't know what to say when I see a teenage boys is about to be kissed then runs away, doing dogeza with rotating 360 degrees, it doesn't help. I hate what I hate and I do it on my own accord. keep in mind that childhood friends will never lose, no matter how good the Heroine is when Against with osanajimi, you know who Will win.

Even so, I like this character. With big oppai, how that girl is being teased, I feel this is so cute. Starting from episode one I felt osanajimi is an important thing in life, especially for romantic relationships.

The best way I can sum this show is: OreSuki meets HenSuki. HAH there I've said it, the two Sukis in joint storytelling.

Doga Kobo isn't a studio you would think of producing a rom-com, but here we are, and we have the one and only Ui-mama for the soft character designs. And to think that we got Kirito's VA for Sueharu, he's a mix of OreSuki's Jouro and HenSuki's Keiki...well, more towards HenSuki for being overtly ridiculous. Even the rom-com girls bear some semblance to HenSuki, only that the love aspect is geared towards OreSuki in tandem...that the childhood girl will win at the end.

So who will win this game of "love is poison": the studious all-rounder Shirokusa Kachi, or the older sister figure Kuroha Shida? Or there'll be more in the "harem"? I feel like beating up Sueharu NGL...more than getting revenge for the pent-up frustrations of losing his first love to someone superior than him.

Not sure what to think of this one, but I'd fear that this is your standard rom-com seen too much before.

KURO IS SO CUTE.

I love Inorin, hearing her voice makes my day. Everyone else in the VA cast was great too. I liked how the sky looked at the first scene, it was a beautiful pink and orange-ish colour. Shiro was looking hot in that magazine. Kuro made my heart skip a beat when she was about to kiss him, she was cute as always. I liked the OP.

Kuro for the win.

The animation doesn't convince me, but the comedy is sometimes good 0.0
Honestly, I like Kuro a thousand times more than Shiro ╮( ̄ω ̄;)╭
First episode, almost a kiss, well, let's keep progressing 😂

Such a good services from Kuroha.
Typical standard rom-com anime, but still enjoyable to watch anyways. Somewhat of this anime reminds me of Hensuki.
Kachi was looking hot in the magazine. Imagine your classmate is a popular gravure idol. That's very great.

A romcom made by doga kobo so I was looking forward to it and this premise was certainly kind of cute (Kuro that is) but not exactly what I was expecting it to be.

I dun get Kachi, she does gravure shooting which is fine but if boys from her class look at those photos they are perverts? Lol wut? Don't do gravure modeling in the first place if u dun want people to look at ur dirty photos lmao.

Kuro's just too adorable. A very cute loli senpai childhood friend, she's the perfect girlfriend material. That kiss bait was lewd.

My first impression on Sueharu is not that good but he will be likeable enough I think. Also woa he was a genius child actor? That's a surprising twist.

I have mixed feelings about this show. After further thinking, I actually like the concept but for what I have seen in episode 1, the characters seem rather unlikeable and the pacing seems all over the place. Still think I'll continue watching though. Might turn out good. I don't know. The 1st episode was ok-ish imo.

I didn't know MC would rly be going down the path of getting mad over a girl he likes choosing another dude while he has literally hasn't even confessed to her. Man hasn't even been rejected lmao. I didn't really enjoy it that much tbh, it was OK ig. Will still watch a few more eps since I always root for the childhood friend (yeah my ships always sink pretty much) and the plot is pretty unique.

The animation is actually yikes, kinda reminds me of that shitty imouto anime: Ore ga Suki nano wa Imouto dakedo Imouto ja Nai

Well I thought it would have better animation, and it was not near to what i expected but let's leave that.
I'm glad all the confessing and rejecting best friend, and the popular girl getting
in relationn happened in the first ep.
The plot seems alright, nothing new to what we've been seeing for years now.
I thought the trashy show this season would be Higehiro but I was wrong.
Not anything exciting that makes you wait for next ep, but it's too soon for final judgement.
So should wait.

Kachi though has quite the talent being not only an aspiring author but a model as well. Kachi's the very image of a cool beauty huh. Her method of dealing with class parasites though was pretty interesting. Kachi though was a nice contrast to Shida though who's a bundle of positivity. Shida's comfort of Haru at the riverbank though was a pretty sweet scene. To think that that will transform into a agreement to get revenge though. Thats quite the plan that Shida came up with though. Simple in theory but one that can benefit all while inflicting the best possible damage. Her kiss that was rejected at the last moment sure proved to be a unfortunate moment for her. Looks like our MC had also been hiding a pretty interesting past from his friends as well. Overall an excellent opening ep that while doing well to introduce Sueharu and the main heroines of Kuroha and Kachi also did well to showcase the kind of comedy moments that will be featured within the series. Looks like all three will have some amount of secrets that they're hiding from their peers. Pretty cute ending theme. So far with the veteran cast and the story so far this show sure looks to be one of the best this season.

I'm pretty sure this is not the only one where childhood friend wins. And I don't mind cliche plot as long as characters are mature, logical and relatable... and also writing should be good.

It was a decent episode I guess, not sold on the MC yet.

Kachi and Kuro are both great. For what it's worth, Ayane Sakura and Inori Minase was already a win.

I'm kinda hoping that the series stays true the title even if I end up liking Kachi more. All the Kuro scenes were great.

hmmm the 1st ep wasn't too bad, it was cute and wholesome. however, it wasn't as 'amazing' as I hoped for it to be, but oh well lets see how it progresses in future eps.
the seiyuus were amazing tho, i rly like how everyone sounded. the op was not bad as well, but i dont think its the kind of music i'll jam to when im bored since its not too memorable...

Another classic romance comedy show! The plot is a bit cliche but, it seems to be decent. The comedy in this show is okay. Sueharu is such a loser. The loyal and supportive Kuroha is quite cute. This show is definitely going to be a weird one for me.

So far the show has been very good, can't wait for eps 2, also another Waifu war, I can't determine whose side I will be on XD

Not going to lie, was pretty excited for this because of the childhood friend character, she looked so cute and was voiced by Inori Minase.

Although, after this first episode, I'm starting to fear that Kuro and Kachi (maybe) are going to be the carries of this show, rather than being the elevating factors. The story is pretty ehh and the side characters (Ik it's the first ep) are also seeming to be boring as well.

I'm hoping for the best though!

Another season, another free 10 from DG. Art and visuals are just as beautiful as you’d expect from them. Different type of story than they usually cover though, no CGDCT.

I’m so tired of dumbass MCs. This dude got Kuro all over his dick and is still crying over a girl who doesn’t even want him lol. I just want a competent alpha MC for once. We had one with Keyaru last season, but damn. At least we know that the childhood friend will win this time around.

Sooooo
Whatever I say will be just my opinion. I won't force my opinion on anyone and anyone is free to dislike or hate it. Hates and criticisms are welcome.

Here we go!
Animation - The color palette is adorable! It's up to my alley! The character designs however are generic which is expected of a romcom anime. It is just fine though with a bit of weird scenes like the profile side of the mc. Nothing much stands out for me except for the colors haha

Soundtrack - It's forgettable and didn't live any impression on me

Characters - Their designs are generic. The cool beauty popular girl design, normal dude design, cheerful childhood friend design, and rival popular guy design. Nothing pops out. As for their personality, I may be a bit too harsh for a romcom anime but this is just my opinion: First of all, I feel like the mc is too entitled and a scumbag. He didn't make any moves on his first love and yet he would take "revenge" just because she fell in love with someone else. Second is Clover girl, I love that they put the petite big sister childhood friend role since its unique but her personality....well....let's just say that if someone does what she does in real life, it would be branded as annoying, clingy, and inappropriate. Third is First Love, she did nothing that stands out to me except for that scene where she ripped off her book and proceeds to be rude to her classmate. In the real world, it is not nice since she'll just be putting a terrible image to herself which would make it worse when people assume she's prideful due to her achievements and her standing in school. It would be wise for her to get along since they'll be spending a few more years in the school unless she transfers. That's all for the characters, can't say much for the rival since we haven't seen much of him. We only know he's a young actor, he started dating First Love and he knows some of mc's past.

Story - Masamune Revenge 2x plot is what I see but it is nice that the childhood friend wont just stand in the sideline to be some sort of support and instead would be contribitung a lot to the story.

Comedy -??? well....it didn't really made me laugh. It's just the usual overreacting of the characters and....that's it. All I remember is when the mc apologized so much when Clover Girl joked about not letting him copy her assignment.

Voice acting - It's fine. Nothing else stand out. Im deaf when it comes to these parts. I wouldn't know that the voice actors and actresses are the same with the other shows unless I look at their profiles.

I dont know who the director is so that means I dont have any kind of expectations on how the story should go. I just hope it would turn out into something less generic. The twist in the end caught me though

Damn Matsuoka come back to strike at his harem show again! I think this is a weird start, with a lot of twist, at least from what i feel today. First, i thought the long hair girl was his childhood friend, which make a sense the title hint they've be together in the end of the day. However, its actually succeeded to fools me, when the actual childhood friend was, Minori cast. Lol and shit at the same time. She was obviously cute af. Older sister loli, with such a seduction, whose not gonna denied that paradise shit time? Only a fuckin generic Matsuoka MC shall be able to do that to start the things out for the story wise to progresses. Another device launch at the end kinda bold the whole situations between them.

I honestly couldn't care less with that triangle. If this is not a harem, and just a pure of triangle drama, i shall be able to determined the winner. Its the first love, ofc. But, shit tell me that either one of them can't get a victory and just circling around like a usual harem rom-com. Simple, and take a look to the source to see the real ending. Once again, its simple.

But, lets left aside it first, because i really want to enjoying this as much as i have. So, i really hope another solid Matsuoka performance. Because so far, this first kinda let me down from what i expect before, by how its proceed. However, well, lets see the next episode, then. I will keep this as positive as i can. Thats it all from me.

Yeah, another anime I'll watch just because of the girls.
Really, folks. I FREAKIN' HATE generic male MCs like "oooh my good, she likes me?? (insert overreaction here)" Why, Japan? Why? That's enough, dude.

But it seems like a very funny anime.
Even though its cliché. C'mon, we know how the girls are like just by seeing their faces. Kachi reminds me of Utaha (from Saekano), I bet she was an inspiration.

Summary:
Oregairu but the MC is Raku from Nisekoi?
Let's see.

Doga Kobo is well-known for its moe comedy anime (and a thrash called 11eyes). Let's see how they deal with a romcom.
Honestly, I liked the premiere. I read a bit of the first LN volume and I found it very interesting.
I'll follow up.

So...it looks like we finally got a real, "Incel: the anime."

The author girl is kind of an ass; I mean, she willingly had herself sexualized in a magazine. Yet when some dudes were ogling at her pictures, she called them perverts. Why does anime always shame dudes for having any sexual thoughts? You can have sexual thoughts, without being a pervert. But despite that, she doesn't seem to be a bad person, overall.

Author girl and the MC barely had any interactions; and from what we saw, she made absolutely no moves on him, or hinted at being in love with him, so she wasn't manipulating him or anything. Yet despite this, the MC has turned into an incel who wants "revenge," for...a girl not going out with him? This is pathetic. With other revenge stories, like Berserk, the revenge is much more justified, so it feels much more satisfying to watch a character get their revenge, but here it's...stupid.

I don't get it; the MC fails to get with a girl that he had a hollow crush on. I had plenty of crushes in the past; none of them worked out. So I moved on. No big deal. He doesn't really know anything about her; her hobbies, or even much of her personality, so obviously the crush is absolutely shallow.

The comedy is obnoxious; it's just characters screaming at very small things. The best friend is a 3 timing fuckboy. The MC is an incel. The author girl shames guys for having sexual thoughts. And the childhood friend is a manipulative ass; the guy rejected her, very upfront, yet she still continues to pursue him, and is clearly manipulating him into eventually going out with her. But it's ok, because she's a cute girl! The double standards. Dang.

Aren't there any romance anime, where the romance is more mature? Where characters don't scream at the mere idea of holding hands? Where the romance actually develops early on? Where the characters at least had sex (even if its off screen)? Anime's obsession with purity disturbs me; yes, couples have sex. Lots of sex. It's a perfectly normal thing. Yet anime constantly shames characters for the mere idea of having sex.

I don't understand the appeal of these shitty, shallow, pathetic, romcoms that barely constitute as romance, or even comedy.

I should've mentioned it in my original post, but the MC isn't even particularly "nice." We didn't see him do anything nice, much less exceptionally nice. He's clearly the opposite, given he wants to torment a couple because he couldnt' get into a girl's pants. I noticed throughout the episode, characters would frequently describe each other's personalities, without the anime showing them. Ie, childhood friend girl tells the MC he's very nice, but we don't see him do anything nice.
