| Soooo... This is basically the Nisekoi of 2022 but with an even more absurd plot lol Oh boy... xD I'll give the anime a chance but I'm not expecting much from it. |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| Yeah as some have pointed out, I can see it happening if they were both boys or both girls and got mixed up (there are some irl cases of that happening) but how did both parents and doctors not know the gender of the child before or even right after birth? But I guess we just have to suspend our disbelief cause it's an anime and we're just here for the romcom hijinks. |
| The recent trend of a manic pixie girl to be the insta-wife for no particular reason while the protagonist overreacts is not one I'm a fan of. Lord knows that this kind of show has been around even in the 'good' age of trashy slaspstick fanservice, in the form of things like Amagami or KimiKiss and such, but even To Heart realized that it was probably better if one of the harem was a robot maid for no particular reason. Or maybe it's that despite the stupid faces, it's really not much of a comedy. Which begs the question of whether it's any kind of drama or romance either. This episode wasn't overly concerned with being any of those, instead choosing to focus on how there's a harem, and here's the first three members. Speaking of which… She's rich and the stereotype of females on instagram that MRA types rail against. He overreacts and accidentally sexually harasses her, but luckily, there are some stereotypes of males on instagram that MRA types rail against for him to beat up. This is sandwiched between the other two harem members, his stepsister (or whatever you want to call her), and the airhead-yet-savant rival. Then it declares that this is totally a romance. Yeah, I can tell that from all the groping, sexual harassment, constant camera focus burning a hole in the girls' chests, and screaming. Literally the only bona fide this episode had about any kind of character was spawning a bunch of what-the-kids-call simps for the protagonist to beat up and make her swoon over before reminding us that this is indeed unabashedly a harem. Pick a lane. |
| I love Nisekoi so I guess I am going to enjoy this as well? I guess I'll give it a shot, I liked the premiere anw and the mixed-up babies come engaged plot. |
   |
| Ah yeah, definitely its a full of Nisekoi vibe with the arranged marriage setting, but with the twist of the mixed up baby, like what Yamada-kun did with the whole supernatural plot, and some different rival of love coming from the literal rival for mc. Since i actually ironically liking those two franchise, and love how stacked up the list of the va, Nao, Akari, then also don't forget about 'your sister actually not your sister' plot. I may just turn my brain off and just enjoy how silly this harem show is until the backbone. Because i really need some of these kind to freshen up my barren lives. So, yeah, enough my standard initial impression reply and lets just go straight to the next episode! |

| Well, it feels the same as the manga so far, mid production and kind of silly story but it's entertaining and quite fun, though that's a odd decision to see that it's getting two full cours, I wonder if it will feel repetitive since the manga is kinda like that at this point, but why not, I like it so far I guess |
 |
| Nice visuals, good OP, hot waifus this seems promising. |
  โค Incessant Rain โค “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| Why'd they have to make the MC look like such a derp and generic. All the females are designed to be other-worldly attractive while the main dude is left behind. As a straight dude, harems are so much better when the MC is attractive (e.g. Tomoya, Clannad). If anything, having a slightly punchable-looking face as MC is more annoying than not lol |
| Good first episode so far, literally the most enjoyable anime of the season. Harem, waifu cliche concept but it has pretty good art and fluid animation, character design look nice. 5/5 |

 |
| w0w this was nice! i want moar!!! 5/5. |
 |
| The Rent-a-Girlfriend vibes are strong on this one, but hey studying freaks are always better than a complete idiot amirite |
| The art style looks promising tho. Interesting! |
| nice |
| Mmm... I already assumed it was going to be a lousy anime in romance... but the animation is cute... I don't know. |
Yt_LapPlayz said: The first episode is a great one. As expected, something have changed unlike in the manga but still it's a great one. The animations and as well as the visuals in the OP is great. The OP is colorful and the song is great. About animations, great job animators. I really liked the story in manga but I'm sure I'm going to be liking the story in the anime more than the manga soon. I'm looking forward to the next episode. Could you tell me how the first episode was changed a little from the manga |

surf78987898 said: So we got a fiancée who you were switched at birth with, your crush that serves as your rival that you plan to confess after beating her in the grades and your fiancée's sister who's also your stepsister. I love how Erika plans to punch Nagi as promised at the end. Whoever runs the hospital nursery should be fired for that mix-up. I was about to nag about this, those irresponsible nurses should be punished even if they not exist |
| Honestly surprised at how enjoyable this episode was. Nothing mind blowing, with the usual anime cliches and somehow I still enjoyed it. The setting is nice and I’m looking forward to continuing watching this show. It could go either way, if it ends up being bad , it’s not a problem, seeing as I don’t really get disappointed anymore with this type of show. Most harems tend to be too generic and bland, but this one seems to be a bit better than what comes out nowadays. |
| This is such a great episode that I feel like melting while watching such a cute and enjoyable atmosphere. It isn't that unique and was more like some cliche plot but for anime watchers only, this should be a blast. P.S. Now I have a 2nd romance series to look forward to like Shikimori-san. |
| 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. |

Dropped Shikimori hard after the first episode, it was just too boring for me. Might go back but idk, been checking the reviews and ratings and they are falling off. |

This conversation will be off-topic but for the sake of this conversation, I'd say, I don't really bother much from others' perspectives. If you truly enjoyed a series without the consent of someone other than you, that would be enough. If you didn't, then it's probably not for you or you lack something to enjoy it. |

| It will be a lousy romance... |
| was entertaining but yeah kind of has some problems with suspension of disbelief stuff. how tf you switch 2 babies with different genders lmao also erika is kinda toxic will continue watching tho cuz animation is pretty nice and it seems good quality otherwise but the plot is kinda dumb so far imo |

It's fiction and a rom-com don't over think the switching part |

| I've always been a sucker for harems, although lately my expectations for them were super low, to the point I skipped quite a few new titles. But this thing looks good. All of main cast is interesting and not overly bound by archetypes, and most importantly protagonist is kinda cool. Decent art and good VA choices obviously help too. On top of that 24 episodes? Unless they pull some major shit in coming episodes, I can see myself enjoying it weekly. I don't get why are people so bothered with lack of realism in the baby switch. I mean, it's a rom-com and we've seen much bigger BS pushed into those for the sake of unique story, and usually nobody bats an eye. And if I were to be picky, I'd rather argue how did he turn out the way he did when growing up in such environment. I honestly doubt any "genes" can make up for parents/upbringing. |

| Don't like that ending, please don't tell me this is another DomeKano |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
| Mishmash between Nisekoi and Love and Lies? Seems generic but I'll probably finish it. |
 |
| Gosh, I love this series too much~!<3 <3 X'3> My only issue were the subtitles, I don't know who did them for the version I watched but they were pretty bad in some parts of the episode..>:'( |
   |
| Yes this is exactly my kind of trash! Can't believe I almost missed out on it this season. |
| sighs.... random boob grab on the first episode? -1 point the female lead was a bit annoying at first lol 'you're gonna meet you real parents? idc be my fake boyfriend' lovely now let's watch his sister and rival fall in love with him for the next 20 episodes plus 24 episodes? damn |
No matter who much you regret or wish, if you couldn't do something in life, you can't do it after death, either. - Hanako |
| Holy shit this was so good. Can't believe I didn't start watching this earlier. 5/5. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
