| Ojīsan is a bit OP 🤣 i was on the floor when the fate of a empire was going to be left to a dog if MC declined 🤣🤣🤣 Looks like its going to be a fun series. |
| I remember watching fan comic dub in YouTube , but it was at least PG at most while this one the legit one if it is even legit is off the rails to pg-13 at most. XD. I will hate myself to this. But the voice acting is off the charts. I was laughing hard no denying that. XD |
| The female MC is someone that for me needs warming up to but hopefully that will come with time. I feel this anime will have very generic tropes as romcoms do. The one bed situation, the arranged marriage, the two other female characters with the cousin a little attahced to again a generic MC. Reminds me of romances I used to read in my teens with lots of nudity. However, I don't think this will happen sadly. |
 |
| Looks pretty promising to me, hopefully it'll keep up lol. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| Like clockwork, the female lead gets to be an aggressively annoying c*nt while the male lead has to be a bit passive. We are already off to a great start...so average. |
It doesn't matter how the series will be, Grandpa having an Aston Martin was enough to convince me. Such great taste: |
| damn the main girl is annoying as hell that sister though ;) |
| This show reminds me a lot of A couple of Cuckoos. The smart protagonist who is forced into marriage with the main heroine. A (Grand)Father figure who is filthy ho gifted them a house of their on while still in school. A love rival who is also one of their classmate, and a third rival who is somewhat related to the protagonist. The art style for this show plus the voice acting is better. I'm hoping that their hidden relationship plus their antagonistic front toward each other will create better comedic situations. |
 |
| Meh, it's literally just Nisekoi without harem label. Even in both of those it was obvious who's gonna win the harem. They will probably stop hating eachother around episode five because relationship development, which will completely nullify anything unique and interesting about this show and it will become completely gereic romcom without anything interesting. Skipping that one. |
 |
| When you think that this was a generic romcom—you're wrong in more ways than one. The male main character is not that attractive, while the girl's character is attractive in every way possible in my perspective. Main girl's attributes that I love: Feisty. VA's effort is great. |
| 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. |
| Shise is SO CUUUUTE!!!!!!!!! I can’t handle how precious she is! |
| "Do you want me to take you away... to a place in this city where wishes come true?" |
| Funny episode. Just saw this anime being one of the first animes of the season, so watched the episode on a whim, and was a pretty funny one. Excited for the upcoming episodes. |

| Episode 1 and I already hate the characters, never been a fan of forced relationships. |

| Why can't they be a little bit more creative in making main protagonists' faces |
maraviax said: ejleon said: @maraviax Is that something you read in the written material? Because I watched that scene again, but there is no mention of having arranged marriages in the scene, and I thought they just happened to marry other people. I also thought it was that they wished they had pursued each other in their youth, instead of being older when they got together. So they wanted their grandkids to be together when young, like they wished they could have done, yes, vicariously living through them. Yeah I thought of other anime with arranged marriages too. This first episode was kind of strange in my opinion, but I am still going to keep watching. Haven’t read the source material. I was just going off of what the subtitles said in Crunchyroll.  Wow… how did i miss that? So strange. Thanks for patience and letting me know. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| it's giving 2018 "my parents sold me to mafia boss harry styles" wattpad fanfiction vibes but tbh I'm not mad at it. I usually wouldn't like to watch something like this so it's surprising. I like Akane and Shisei though the former sounds like she'd be a pain in the ass to be around irl O-o I'm waiting for the day the anime gods will bless us with a harem where the main guy isn't the most default, plain white bread, vanilla, factory settings human male imaginable. |
| I'm turning off my brain for this one. So far, it's pretty meh. The only issue I got is how tsundere the main heroine is, but I hope she gets some character development. |
 |
| Why do I have a feeling that the author patterned this after Ranma 1/2 and even named the heroine Akane. I'm intrigued by Shisei. Saito seems to be a siscon even though she is a cousin. |

I love the concept, but the delivery falls flat. Why do the characters hate each other so much? Who knows? We're not likely to find out anytime soon. It would have worked better if we had known the backstory first before the marriage was introduced so quickly.
Both characters are so flat and one-dimensional that they become boring. Yes, the girls are cute, and our main character is about as normal as they come, but that's about it. The supporting characters are charming, but again, they lack depth. Saito’s cousin, Shisei, is very cute and seems to have a thing for Saito, which at least means they’re not blood-related siblings, as is often the case in anime. Himari is pretty much a cookie-cutter gyaru friend of Akane; there’s not much to say about her, at least not yet.
Grandpa and Grandma are some serious oddballs, forcing their grandchildren to marry to obtain their fortunes. I’m sure there’s a backstory as to why they are doing this. It’s puzzling since they were forced into arranged marriages after having a falling out as high school sweethearts, which doesn’t make their reasoning clear.
I just don’t understand why they couldn't take their time introducing the characters and explaining the reasons for their animosity. A gradual buildup before the arranged marriage could have worked so much better. I guess we’ll see how the story develops and hope that our characters receive some development.

| @stealthyone Let me guess. Saito is a slacker but he gets higher grades than Akane. There's a scene earlier where she is looking at the scores but Saito couldn't give a damn. Of course, he doesn't have a clue. And perhaps subconsciously she likes him. I don't know about the guy though if he fancies her secretly but their feelings will develop. |
| I was excited for this but damn, this is kinda disappointing. The pacing is freaking fast, and Akane's voice is too damn high pitched it's hurting my ears. *sigh* what to expect from a small time anime studio. |
| A typical RomCom, nothing special but let's see if we got more interesting thing soon. |
This is how I would have structured the content of this episode:First 4 minutes -> first two thirds of ep 1 The next 5 minutes -> last third of ep 1 The next 5 minutes (until OP) -> first third of ep 2 The final 7 minutes (OP til end) -> last two thirds of ep 2 This is the first time I'm rating an anime 4/10 from episode 1! It has managed to make me care less about the characters than when I watched the trailer! |
 I love Poland I love Poland I love Poland I love Poland I love driving by my car And the road is not too far Berlin, London, Moscow too It's my love – I tell you true When I came to Poland I saw my car was stolen It was my favorite truck I said "Poland, kurwa mac!" |
 |
| I didn't realized that Yano Hinaki is voicing Akane until I checked until I checked the cast list here on MAL. First episode is quite good introduction to the premise, I do wonder what Akane's grandma whispered to her to make her decide to marry Saito. And Himari's crush is definitely Saito and she will form the harem love triangle. This show itself is dumb fun and I will most likely keep it on my list to continue this season. |
 |
| i watched this just to hear the OP from =LOVE. Shisei best girl, still haven't had the fun of watching this, hopefully there will be good aspects in the future. |
