Reiji Miyajima's Kanojo, Okarishimasu is back after last Summer, Kazuya's harem trainwreck never dies.

halca's OP introducing the movie arc, it's a decent showing.

Kazuya wanting to crowdfund for Mizuhara's movie, and consulting a company for help, the idiot sure isn't prepared for the reality he's about to face. With such shoddy work, the project can't be started, though the producer sure is fazed at her compliments ahout him. And it's where the both of them met their next-door neighbor: the much-anticipated Room 202's Mini Yaemori finding their "lover's talk" on the veranda being too noisy and unbearable, which Mizuhara retreated without a bat in her eye. The next day, Kazuya and Mini's Senpai-Kouhai formal greeting with her friend. But the secret between Kazuya and Mizuhara has to be kept as such, and Mini's an iDOLM@STER Million Live! zoomer idol fan of all things lols. But getting strangers to pay 10,000 yen, it just feels like it's asking for too much.

A reply from Mizuhara wanting to enter Kazuya's apartment, he's shocked to the point of being an OCD to clear all his trash, anticipating the dirty things in his mind. With Mizuhara's fresh new set of clothes and Kazuya's non-ulterior motives, the movie creation meeting gets going between the two. Kazuya did his thorough research on cutting their total budget limit to 1.82 million yen, and for the first time in a long while, Mizuhara gets captivated by Kazuya's seriousness, though the idiot is only focused on her male-destructive qualities, apart from the fact that he wants to see her act, involving Granny Sayuri as well. Kazuya has not had dinner, so Mizuhara opts to cook a meal for Kazuya, though his laziness of stocking ingredients is the only moment of regret, and even an omelet rice would make his heart flutter more for her. Seeing the push, Kazuya would also rather spend his savings on her as well, which is his dream to chase after her anyways.

But of all things...Ruka has to be at Kazuya's doorstep, which the love triangle drama ensues!

TRASH CRINGE...is becoming greater with every moment.

Oh boy, Kazuya is back and so is Chizuru. They got to spend some alone time together so it was a way for them to catch up again.

His priceless face was so punchable though and miserable to watch. On the other hand, we got introduction of a new character so maybe this season
will have some new gimmicks. Mini seems like quite a bubbly girl with that personality of hers.

MEGAcringe is back, and is making sure right off the bat that we’d have to suffer the same way we did last two times as well. 

Also the fact that it got three seasons within three years is beyond baffling.. but hey we know Japan makes impossible possible. Leave it to those shut-ins and their parents' money making it possible for this manga to rack up millions of sales;)  

Anyways, as we know last season this loser promised Mizuhara that he’d help her make a movie and all, dude really did go the crowd-funding way to make it possible lol, I mean it makes sense when he doesn’t even have a speck of resource or connections, but know how to talk big. Goes without saying he got no results right on his first try. 

Though hey the lust for a pussy can change a totally incompetent loser like him too, even if to an extent of some picometers. But the monologues, those FUCKING MONOLOUGES… dude is over twenty but still can’t handle when a girl merely just sit beside him lmaooo. Could give less a fuck that Mizuhara cooked for him, and then he attained euphoria.

No opinion over the new girl to be honest, I mean it isn’t as if we haven’t already seen millions of her types. Also of course dude's home is like a polar magnet which attracts chicks every other minute. Happened in the end with Ruka.

Kanojo, Okarishimasu has returned with its highly anticipated third season, and the first episode sets the stage for another rollercoaster of dogshit! 

Picking up where the previous season left off, the series continues to explore the complex relationships and personal growth of its characters, all wrapped in a delightful blend of romance, comedy, and drama. The episode wastes no time in plunging us back into the lives of our favorite characters. We find Kazuya Kinoshita, the self-proclaimed rental boyfriend, grappling with his decision to take a step forward in his relationship with Chizuru Mizuhara, his temporary girlfriend.

The animation quality remains consistent with the previous seasons, with vibrant colors and fluid character movements. The attention to detail in the background and character expressions enhances the overall viewing experience as if there is any with this show.

The episode introduces new challenges and obstacles, ensuring that the story remains compelling and unpredictable. It sets up the actually only good arc I'd say from the manga The Movie Arc, I have actually high hopes this time I guess although calling it the best arc doesn't say much.

In conclusion, this episode successfully reignites the flame of romance and introspection that has captivated audiences since its inception. With this time actually being a actual digestible part of the story to say I'm intrigued is an understatement. 

Let us embark on this new chapter of Kazuya and Chizuru's journey!

No mami so a 3/10 ep.

Yaemori is a nice introduction to the cast. Looking forward to seeing more of her. Send her all over twitter for years and always liked her design.

We finally see somewhat of a development between Chizuru and Kazuya. Only took 3 seasons but she’s finally come in his apartment. Their conversations have improved as well. Kazuya is still a degen loser who can’t even go grocery shopping, but it would be disingenuous to say no progress has been made.

Hating agenda aside, a decent episode.

Rent A Girlfriend is back once again for yet another season of a trainwreck, and just fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, and now I've been fooled a third time, as just like the first episode of Season 2, I kind of enjoyed it, as Kazuya starts on the crowdfunding on Chizuru's movie, though he's quite naive on how this all works. I enjoyed Mini Yaemori's introduction, and the moment I heard her way of speaking, I was reminded of Kaname from Tonikawa, and sure enough, it was actually the same voice actor at work. Maybe her bubbly zoomer dialogue can carry the show a bit? Who knows?

And of course, the cliffhanger with Ruka at the end... classic RAG move.

Well then this anime is back with a new season. People claim this is gonna be the "best" arc so yeah.

Kazuya helps Mizuhara with her project. Kazuya is at an office or something but his offer gets declined. Mini has become Mizuhara's & Kazuya's neighbor. Kazuya asks Mini to keep it a secret or something a secret. Mami still the biggest piece of shit. Mizuhara comes over to help Kazuya with the fundings but Kazuya being Kazuya as usual and he can't keep himself calm. Mizuhara & Kazuya got caught red-handed by Ruka after Mizuhara walked out the door. This is gonna be awkward.

Well the animation is still the same, MC is still cringe but that was expected.

My guilty pleasure has returned. I had forgotten that they want to make a movie. And it looks like they're going to try and use Mizuhara's grandma as a way to convince people to back the project. It makes sense, considering it's worked before. It wouldn't be a rent-a-girlfriend episode without a misunderstanding, and the episode ends with Ruka at the front door.

Mizuhara still gets on my nerves though. Despite her being fine as hell, she always has an attitude. You'd think she'd become more grateful as time went on. Regardless, I'm looking forward to the season. Hoping we get some more sexy shots of Mizuhara.

Honestly this episode wasn’t even that bad compared to previous episodes, I’m confused how you even got through the first two if this amount of cringe is unbearable for you.

These one on one moments with Chizuru and Kazuya never end smoothly because there is always another girl at his doorstep. This time Ruka is on the receiving end of the misunderstanding. I wonder how the new girl Mini is going to fit in all this.

Our resident degenerate Kazuya is back. Continuing right where we left him and Chizuru at the end of last season. Kazuya offering up his idea to crowd fund a movie for Chizuru to star in that way her grandma can see it before she dies. On paper its a good idea but this new season premiere just displayed how in practice it might not he so easy. Kazuya is having a terrible time getting this crowdfunding thing off the ground. With basically no funding already and not a good layout to entice people to contribute its tough getting funds. This return was sort of a rollercoaster since it showed Kazuya being genuinely a good guy trying to hustle his way to almost two million yen needed to make the movie. While also showing him barely be able to keep his cool once Chizuru came over to his apartment. Like she's pretty and busty and all that but come on Kazuya don't be so overly desperate. We did get to meet a new character Mini Yaemori who's the new neighbor of him and Chizuru. It was funny having her interrupt their clandestine balcony talk. She should be fun. Lets see how Kazuya can pull off achieving Chizuru dream

The romcom has revived 🚬

I honestly don't know how to describe it, I really hate this anime and its characters, but I can't stop watching it ._.

I read the manga and I can only say this: "2 seasons and this third is the only one that matters", we are going to see the prime of the franchise.

Kazuya is an idiot but at least we already saw that if he can behave like an average human being, on the other hand, YaemoriGOD has appeared!! the "character developer" is coming xd

I liked the "mini cliffhanger" in which Ruka arrives at the last moment, I imagine it will happen in next week's episode.

Just like last summer, so good to be back once again, we really need to make this series a summer tradition, because I am one of those folks that unironically loves this series and loves seeing it continue. This first episode starts right where we left off in Season 2 with Kazuya proposing his plan for the movie, but we find out real quick it’s not gonna be so easy lol, but that’s not enough to make our boy stand down. We also got introduced to Yaemori at long last, she seems to be a fun character, Kazuya’s initial reaction to her was good too lol. I also noticed she had a shirt that has “eleven” on it, this means she’s either a fan of the band “Eleven” or she’s a fan of St. Stephen>The Eleven, I’ll take no other answers lol.

I also really enjoyed Mizuhara and Kazuya’s meeting in his room, it definitely reminded us that Mizuhara is a beautiful babe and Kazuya can’t stop simping (can’t blame him lol) but it also showed the amount of research Kazuya did on the movie’s funding so he’s without a doubt dedicated to the cause. And of course, Ruka had to visit at a terrible time lol, but I look forward to seeing how they sort this out.

And no ED visuals yet but we got another very nice OP and ED pair, the series has not missed with them, and you definitely can’t go wrong with halca! Really looking forward to the rest of this season!

Well, Rent a Girlfriend is back ladies and gentlemen. As much as I have a love-hate relationship with this anime, this episode was enjoyable probably because I kept laughing for a good bit of the time on the absurdity of Kazuya.

See y'all next friday, and strap in for the ride.

There were so many little funny moments this ep hahaha. The MC has definitely grown on me after a lot of those dumb moments with Mami-chan in S1 and S2. He's hilarious lmao

Can Mami-chan just not be in the show anymore? Not sure she's relevant at all... But I know she's going to do something this season to annoy me again.

New girl seems nice and cute. And omg that ending XD
