At least A Couple of Cuckoos is funny. KanoKano, despite it claiming to be comedic, is not.


I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I found KanoKano absolutely hilarious while I found A Couple of Cuckoos extremely annoying.

Why do you think this is annoying?

The big thing to consider with comedy is that not everyone finds the same stuff humourous.

I'm a huge fan of dry, witty sarcasm. It makes me laugh a lot. I also, on the completely opposite side of the spectrum, find overblown and intentionally unrealistically stupid characters absolutely hilarious. KanoKano appealed to me because everyone is inept in their own unique way, and it's funny to see how all the characters will mess up even seemingly the safest scenarios.

Not sure what you mean, Nagi told his parents at the beginning of the episode that he won't get married to Erika. Also, Erika shouldn't be blamed for being nervous, I mean imagine if you're 16 and you are told that your "parents" aren't your parents, breaking the ice won't be easy for most people.

Kanojo mo Kanojo (Girlfriend, Girlfriend)
Ohh....that I've watched it
I feel it was actually pretty funny
It was really chaotic most of the times which was entertaining
Def a 8/10 if not a 8.5

KanoKano is intentionally satirical. It is supposed to be outrageous and ridiculous; none of the characters' actions are supposed to make any sense.

This, on the other hand, is trying to take itself seriously. And it's failing, hard.

People failed to realize that about Kanojo mo Kanojo. That anime was hilarious. Also, idk if this anime will improve but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Can’t get any worse than Shikimori, right?

It was a good and fun episode lol So, Erika really likes her biological parents. First, I thought Sachi was angry with Erika but she seems happy to have a big sister.

Damn imagine rich dog got the same house as yours. I feel you, Nagi. But honestly, with that much amount i think its understandable for the dogs to had their own mansion!

Anyway, looks like Erika its not what you think. Nagi overthinking about them getting a gang fight kind of amusing. His reaction still priceless and creepy at some moment. But at the same time, even if i feel like Akari as Erika va kinda not fitted much for me, considering i am still not getting used of her filling the harem show cast list. Still, Erika this episode kinda grew on me. She's so sweet when she really wanna get closer with her real parents, yet kind of forgetting the whole engagement with poor Nagi xd. Though i feel like i need to know more about that chick, Sachi. Guess its not the right time to get along more with her, its seems. She's still hiding inside!

Alright. Based Erika, or Nagi father plan with the whole kmk setup, living together in the same roof within two weeks, sounds about right. Right?

Ep 1 was great but this episode lacks finesse.
I didn't get surprised from the "poor vs rich house common sense joke" because I've seen many similar stories like that, the emphasis was rather average at most but it was kinda enjoyable, especially the main heroine crying on the bridge.
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.

I love how Erika just wanted to become close to her real parents despite their socioeconomic status. I think it's too exaggerated though that she thought Nagi's house was a tool shed. 😂 I mean, although she was raised rich, I'm sure somehow she had watched shows and movies with regular people's home. Anyway, it's a fun episode - lighthearted but humorous. I bet it will even be more fun once they live together.

Lmao the contrast between poor vs rich is comedy gold and yeah I may potentially drop this because the cringefest is about to start next episode but anime and manga are both separable mediums so let's just wait and see, only time can tell.

I definitely enjoyed the reactions to each other’s homes, I guess Erika is the pinnacle of rich people being clueless when it comes to how normal people live, it was funny tho, and of course Nagi was surprised to see Erika’s place and the fact she has a doghouse that’s an actual house lol.

The best part of the episode was when Erika met Nagi’s parents at the restaurant, I honestly thought the scene Nagi thought up in his head was real but I’m glad it didn’t go that way lol, I’m glad Erika wants to get close to Nagi’s parents, they’re pretty wholesome parents as well, I love the “former delinquent” dynamic they have and it works well for parent characters. Lastly Erika’s dad buys her and Nagi a house to live in for two weeks, this is taking me back to Girlfriend Girlfriend lol, I can’t wait to see what happens from here.

And I like the tidbits of Sachi we got as well, I’m wondering when she’ll truly enter the harem that’s budding lol.

Erika is just a sweetheart. While others have the trait of of being bitchy living a prosperous life, she's a meek one. That's the kind of character that we must protecc.

Enjoyed the bonding of this ep. Shows how 2 different people living in opposite worlds getting to know each other's life.

There is NO such thing as "alpha" and "beta" males. After all, is ALWAYS the woman decision at the end:

About the show, it's pretty funny. I wish I were the guy, but I know this is the author's fantasy. Let's just enjoy it.

Erika please give me a bit of your (parents) money... though that was cute how she could properly meet her real family after crying because she couldn't at 1st, well now it seems like they're already gonna live together because of Erika's family, but it's not going to be that easy and peaceful of course.

So far so good. Emphasizing the comedy vibe more than the romance aspect of it is really helping it a lot. But since it has 24 episodes, I'd still watch with caution and prepare for a heart-breaking disappointment in case it ends up having a very generic rom-com/harem execution later on.

This Erika girl must be joking right, How can she even sit on a bookshelf and not on the floor with her huge dump truck, Anyways I can see the difference between her lifestyle and Nagi's

"I'm rich, losers" is the most wealthy thing a rich person would say, Yeah I thought that was real for a second because I was honestly convinced that can happen, I can see where she inherited her attitude even Nagi was that shocked daydreaming

But instead the Umino parents were kind of nice I did expect that from them too at least, Honestly this guy even surprised the two to live with each other things are going to get wild.

That mutual culture/class shock went well.
Nagi's misunderstandings quite funny & kinda believable. Sachi's weird, but family allows her own pace of accepting her real sis, nice how they presented her quandry.
Erika more rounded personality than the annoying ojou trope from ep1, just silly rich.
Umino's 3 story standalone house + restaurant is far from poor, maybe above average. What about big families cramped in a studio apartment.

overreacting at every little thing is already a big nope in my books & its probably the worst "trait" a character can have. i can't put up with that for 20 more weeks. inb4 someone looks through my list and tells me that i do indeed like an anime that has a screaming overreacting character

These characters are frankly awful and have the ability to communicate of toddlers. Actually, wait, that's insulting to toddlers. At least they can cry and pitch a fit to express their feelings. These idiots just don't say anything at all.

Dropped.


Did you... did you watch the show? Are you seriously watching a show called "A couple of cuckoos" expecting Beserk level writing?
