> implying realism ever mattered in a medium where people routinely take beatings that would cause permanent brain damage to people IRL

I love it. Every second of it. The constant shouting, the over-the-topness, the silly gags, the earnestness of the main characters. The manzai-style banter is hilarious and heartwarming. It's not the representation polyamory needs or deserves, but I don't think it was ever meant to be, so who cares? There's plenty of much worse relationships in fiction, and fiction != reality anyway.
Yet these hands will never hold anything.
Thus I pray, Unlimited Waifu Works!

Saki is hot.

I liked the first episode, and I HATE harem, but maybe these characters will be able to make it interesting with all the comedy and this MC, interested to see the next episode and I hope they don't waste all the potential this has.

After this and that run through rom-coms.. yeah this MC’s fun... looking forward to more of his stubbornness and stupidity (lol) just like other MCs of the authors other works. He did good work to put his that kinda MC (like aho girl and assistant to mangaka) in a romcom... definitely the speed of this first episode got me, I mean I don’t know whether this will turn to shit or something good but the first episode definitely has got me into the series... good to hear you again Gabi Braun Sakura-san, definitely she does her part.. and damn minase is kawaii, I would definitely like some saki x minase (hell yeah!)... the setting seems fun and thanks that atleast it doesn’t feels cliche (it maybe)... go on for three**** man!!!

Interesting premiere episode nonetheless, gonna have some fun with this after rubbing off the distasteful OsaMake.
Thanks for reminding me 😭
If there was no one else within a 5-kilometer radius from Shimamura, and she was in a deep sleep and an all-knowing deity just happened to reassure me that she wasn’t going to wake up the next 24 hours, maybe I’d get bored after 23 hours and I might kiss her once to relieve some boredom...

My incel meter is off the fucking charts

im just a little upset that the MC is played by Enoki Junya. When I hear that voice I expect it be in a wholesome anime ):

But will probably keep watching this all the way through, just to have a memento to add to the garbage bin.

Enjoy how straight forward the MC is compared to all of the other MCs we've had who are so wishy washy.

Will be checking it out again next week for sure.

Episode felt like a 7/10 to me.

Given the poll breakdown, I'm not reading through five pages of comments...the first page gave me enough of an idea of what I'd be seeing in the rest.

The VAs are Da Bomb. The music director deserves sainthood. The animation is so right for the story. The script writer(s) are right up there with the rest. Haven't read the source materials, so I can't comment on it as an adaptation.

I had to pause it partway through and go off and do other stuff for a bit. Why? Because no one else is here this weekend, and it'd be bad if they got back tomorrow and found me dead from laughter. I have a strong suspicion I'll be having to do so with the other episodes as well...even if there [i]are[/i other folks home. This is not a show I'll be watching when the housemates are attempting to sleep...

In all seriousness tho, I was interested in another romance anime and I wasn’t deterred from the shows title as it didn’t dawn on me that it straight out suggested polygamy until I started watching it but I was pleasantly surprised at how much this show made me laugh and at how nonsensical the characters logic were. I literally had to rewind and pause at scenes to make sure I was absorbing this information correctly. The pacing was very fast which I think helps this show legitimize itself as an enjoyable comedy. A short 12 episode stint of this show’s antics wouldn’t be a bad watch realistically acknowledging this show as a parody, it’s actually a parody done pretty well and I’m sure this show will blow up with attention soon in the anime community

Imma hop on this masterpiece bandwagon because it is indeed a masterpiece and I implore you all to follow suit and perfect it’s score so it can be the top on the summer season and garner more attention because this perfect anime deserves to be shared

We got a not that generic protagonist which is good and waifus in the show.
2-timing is bad but this is an anime so I won't be taking this issue seriously.

It defines it's genre (Rom-Com) perfectly for now and this anime got me laughing and face palming Everytime which I don't do usually when I'm watching a Rom-Com anime.

It's good for now and maybe it will be getting better as the story progresses.

This is the most different romcom I've ever seen. It's almost a Koi to Uso, but with funny scenes. Naoya surprised me with his idea. He's very naughty, and I expected that Saki wouldn't accept it. Nagisa seemed innocent at first, but she also thought it would be ok. I got no idea what to expect next, let's wait! ^__^

Ps.: Nice opening and ending. The first has a very different rythm and good riff, and the latter is upbeat and catchy.

Kanojo mo Kanojo first episode impression:

First of all the artstyle is good, the overlapping and the character design reminding me of Nisekoi, and that's a good thing cause it's immediately feel fresh, eye catching and stood out. The opening song is unique. Not especially good, but unique it's enough to stay longer lingering on viewer first impression. And the character design already established the unique trademark of a large eyeball, so overall it's a good job

Move on to the plot

In regards of first episode, the "Baito" effects really the only aspect they been rely on here, and that's not a surprised anymore after the patern established in HIGEHIRO and Nagatoro. So i say, yeah good job to make us triggered and created a conversation

The MC is a fakboy, there's no denying it. The honest character aspect can't justified anything in here (and if the author think it can, it's only shows how childish they are). He's the type of guy who will easily distracted by any other girl who shows affection to him (and i will not surprised if there's gonna be the 3rd and a 4th girl with the same case's showed up soon, as it already hinted). The fact that he can easily two-timed his childhood crush, showed how immature he is.

Well some people might able to empathized with him by saying "atleast he's honest about it", but the problem is, honesty is exactly a childlike behavior. How he surrender for his visual desire and using honesty as a justify tool to get whatever he wanted to, and implemented it on a serious mature relationship will created a bigger issue on morality. Then some might say "They are only a high schooler, and it's only a teen relationship. It's common so don't take it too seriously" Well the problem is, there is not supposed to be a thing called 'not-serious' or 'just-to-have-fun' intercourse be existed on the first place

And the two heroine, barely had an any explanation on their background record. The fact that they immediately agree to move in, showed how swallow their character being written on. Yeah typical shonen romance girl character, being there just to completed the harem plot

I'm gonna stay longer because of the artstyle, but they better start talking about consequences soon, and showed how the guy and their relationship matured along the way. But let's not have high hopes. With the first episodes premises, this is seems already carved the path to be just a regular harem rom-com, with the 3rd and 4th girl coming along soon. And if it is, this is potentially become the worst flag/scenario of a harem story on my list (alongside Rent-a-Girlfriend), and i don't see any point of staying any longer, for a show that glorify this kind of behavior

Anime cover and synopsis kind of misled the impression, to think this is a romance drama is quite the opposite, it is extremely comedic just the same level of dramatic comedy as Aho Girl.

Brilliant and bluntly smooth is all I can say, haven't had a real laugh for a long time.

Don't worry, in the manga,
. The arc was around chapter 30, and judging the pace of the anime, it would be in some final episodes. Hope the adaptation would do justice to manga, or else it's gonna suck miserably.

The anime pretty much has Osamake vibe, with now a slight different twist. And this time the MC is double dating

Quite cringed, but I guess I can live it out for now. The anime is pretty much awesome to the point of Naoya even allow them to live together, with an added bonus of no parents living there. Can't wait to see how it goes now.

I just hope it doesn't turn out like how Osamake did though. The MC is too straightforward which in a way annoys me.

I read the manga, it's nowhere near as funny as Aho girl and of course turns into haremshit. Considering anime was announced when there were only 35 chapters out I predict shitload of filler. A
Also QUALITY faces in first episode are really bad sign.
