Rent-A-Girlfriend
| You know I have watched my share of these harem comedy shows and I really do enjoy many of them. That said this one is really standing out from the pack. I think the animation is really great. I also really like the character designs in terms of how they look and how they are characterized. They are all endearing.. even the supporting characters! The opening song along with the intro is bang on and honestly this show is simply a wholesome, fun, easy watch. I am surprised to have read before how bad this show is.... that is so far from the truth since this show brings smiles to me so easily. |

The production of the first season was made to grab people by the balls and vest them into the series. It really was phenomenal and I was also a victim to it. Welcome! That said, as a manga reader caught up in the story, I rate the series a humble 1/10. Enjoy it while you can. I see. Well It wouldn't be the first time that'd happen. Somethings are best left as they are when they reach their point... if that never happens we can typically expect bad outcome. I will definitely temper my expectations moving forward. |

| Haha I hated the first 5 or so eps, but it gets so much better |
 |
| This series is hated because of its wimpy, silly, and atrocious MC. It shows how important MC is in any series. This is not the place for ranting, but it's high time we needed manipulative, genius, immoral, crazy, and chaotic neutral or good MCs in romance and harem series. Characters like Yuuichi Katagiri and Light Yagami. It would be such a refreshing take on this trope. We need better MCs asap! |
| Remember what Master Oogway told us: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present. |
Fazbear entertainment arc was the best dude. Also wth spoilers dude! |
| It was really funny. I always had a good laugh watching RAG. |
| WISHED I COULD ALSO GET TRANSPORTED TO A WORLD FULL OF MAGIC And DUNGEONS, please take me there too if you could ( ◜‿◝ )♡ |
| It isn't the worst thing ever like people say but I got bored of it quickly, it just lacks that spiciness of a good trashy harem. |
| You like this show? I thought so too when I didn't know any shit. You can start reading the manga to see how bad it is. Though it isn't THAT bad. If I did not have anything else to read or watch, this would be a good time killer. If you like it, then don't listen to others. 80% of the community will just tell you to not watch it because it's horrible. |

I believe that the story can always continue and there can always be a good script. |

I believe that the story can always continue and there can always be a good script. Well of course there could always be a good script; that's if the authors/producers have it in them to find such script. But if they see that their ideas are basically looping and leading to the same net viewing experience then it could be argued that its best to let the ship sail before it sinks. I think most great anime's are less than 100 episodes long. The anime's that tend to be longer are battle Shonen's which is very typical of them because these anime's are primed for looping narratives and long term viewer engagement. |

We need badass and stoic characters like Ayanakoji. Kazuya has to be the worst protagonist ever. Like the guy is just a complete loser. I don’t find his character appealing. Not one bit. This is the problem with modern animes. Instead of focusing on the Mc and giving the Mc the character development he needs, authors disregard that and focus on the heroine because people are obsessed with waifus. He is not so bad so far; I am up to episode 3 of Season 2. I think one character that I was particularly put off from was Ryūji Takasu from Tora Dora. That character, Taiga and the way the anime's narrative went really left me disappointed overall by the end. |
HatTrkPatrk said: Nmasih8193 said: Who’s gonna tell him… Don't worry, I got this. @LordKirkis Enjoy it, it's a good show with some criticizable flaws the likes of which are present in damn near every series of its genre. Its biggest flaw is being popular, as this causes it to draw hate from insecure Full Metal Edgelords who get irrationally jealous when they see a loser guy get more attention than they do, causing a mental meltdown that manifests as an evolutionary regression wherein their personality becomes the collective effort of every shitty TikTok meme in existence and their vocabulary is simplified immensely to include nothing more than "bruh," "touch grass," "cuck," "simp" and "despite talking all this shit I have never once even seen a vagina, let alone gotten laid, and I watch every episode and read the manga the instant new chapters are released... But it's only so I can continue to talk more shit okay? I don't like it, I hate it, this thing I faithfully follow, watch and read. Just don't tell anyone, because I'm both watching and reading it for free online" Hmm that's a lot. You might be right though.. popularity does tend to garner the widest and harshest ire. I can definitely see the show having its flaws. I could also see it dragging out and overstaying its welcome. At the same time I do regularly see peoples frustration become excessive. With these sorts of folks there really aren't a middle ground just a love it or hate it perspective. |

| I don’t get you, the show is utter garbage in every single way you look at it, the cast sucks, the “comedy” sucks, the osts suck, the backgrounds suck, the animation sucks, the plot sucks, everything everything everything is just bottom of the barrel garbage. I hated every second of the show. Truly appalling. |
KarateJones said: I really don’t understand the hate for this show. I’m genuinely perplexed by the absolute merciless bashing this show so frequently receives. I finished the first season & starting up second season soon and it’s a nice drama/harem. It’s unique & very enjoyable. Whenever you ask anyone what’s so bad about the show, literally the only thing that is mentioned is how bad of a character the MC is. After watching the show, the only thing wrong with him is how cowardly he is but then again without his personality the way it is, the show would be drastically different so i don’t get it. Just because someone can’t agree with a characters’ methods doesn’t make a show bad. Many people don’t agree with Light from Deathnote.. doesn’t make Deathnote a bad show and neither should this show be It’s truly bamboozling Sure, in the anime, he's only a coward. But in the manga, calling him a coward would be a underestimation. Though it doesn't matter for the anime I guess because the studio won't risk showing off his terrible personality in the manga. And I quite like the manga even though he's much worse, I guess it's so bad that I like it. I am neither on the offensive nor the defensive side when it comes to this anime. Though the artist is questionable... |

| yes. |
| The main reason I can't stand this show and the manga by extension is that the story literally doesn't progress ever. Nothing ever changes. That and Kazuya is so dense it's frustrating |
死人に口なし |
Drewfy7 said: I have seen far, far worse than this. Besides, I actually find this very fun and enjoyable. Kazuya is also nowhere near the worst MC I have encountered. Imo, the worst MC of all time is Rein from Beast Tamers. I hated that show as a whole. Rein is the most bland and meh character I have ever seen. He was and still is unbearable for me. Rein from Beast Tamers huh. I saw some clips of that show, thought I liked some of the designs of the gals but choose to forgo watching in the end. Trimethylglycine said: The main reason I can't stand this show and the manga by extension is that the story literally doesn't progress ever. Nothing ever changes. That and Kazuya is so dense it's frustrating That is a real shame since the show is really good so far. It's a case of suffering from success. But in this case we suffer, and they get the money bag. We then have to choose where the show ends, and be content with that. |

I hated every second of the show. Truly appalling. Well I don’t know about that. Its not a Battle Shonen, but its on its third season. Manga as I hear it is still running.. unfortunately for some. ————————— Anyway I think the anime is great so far. Its an easy 8/10 for a harem comedy. The manga series might be dragging it currently and the MC seems to be insufferable all the more for it. But as far as the show goes I think because of its genre and how inherently light hearted the stories are I can easily detach from it. As soon as the show begins to slow down in any substantial way I could drop it and say I enjoyed my time with it. Couldn’t do that with Tora Dora though. That was a long, fruitless watch. Its source is a LN so there is that. |

Someone Who Enjoys Kanojo,Okarishimasu Despite Reading All The Hate On It, Big Respect Thanks! :D I learned that watching and judging for yourself is the best thing you can do. I also recently watched Kanojo mo Kanojo and honestly.. I loved it. The score here on AL is low and occasionally you see others dunk on it. But I think the show is unhinged and the characters so crazy that I found it to be such a fun watch. If viewers try to understand a shows direction I think they would better recognize its fun factor. And enjoy it a lot more. |

| This show is peak trash, but it's physically painful to be subjected to Kazuya, I didn't even make it through 2 episodes. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
LostSpectre said: This show is peak trash, but it's physically painful to be subjected to Kazuya, I didn't even make it through 2 episodes. No doubt hes been bearable for me for the time... but I cant imagine I could watch for too long either. Best they wrap it up with season 3 I think. |
| Of course this show is good, people hate it because every once in a while there's a show that's overhated and if you don't hate it you aren't "cool" or something, actually the case of this series getting hate is the same as Nisekoi's but much worse. |
| Yeah so I'm on the third episode of Season 3 and this show is still pretty great. They've added a new compelling gal and by now shown some really sweet/sad back story with Chizuru and her family. Ruka Chan is still spazzing and hilarious. Sumi chan is still an MVP contender GF with the biggest heart and the sweetest personality. The only character I am waiting to see more from is Mami... but given how the rest of the characters are written I am not too worried about her being left behind in terms of development. So yes even up to early season 3 this show remain compelling. Lets see how it continues I suppose! but recommended so far! |
| I just finished the first season. I want to be honest. Some of episodes I was paused, because was too much to continue to watch. Not because was boring, but was too much bullshit from MC, the whole episode of following main female character with his male friend, was wayyy not in my style. Mami is such trash person, first she break with him and after that chasing in his business... I wish Mami confrontation with Ruka, I believe Ruka will ruined her, because her mouth is not shy. I really, I mean REALLY don't like MC treating Ruka like that, she like him and they are boyfriend and girlfriend and he still chasing other girl... HOLY SH**** be a freaky man and say no to Ruka, and let her to deal with pain and continue to living, to find someone who will be for her. Instead to giving hope to lost cause. That show is not romance, it is something else, but is definitely is not romance. Any way going to season 2 now ^^ |

| @LostInLove HAHA here is my advice; Enjoy the episodes available now. This includes season 2 and most of season 3. But in terms of getting any conclusion anytime soon you should lower your expectations quite a bit. Treat this series as casual, fun and humorous watch. This way your expectations are leveled and you may enjoy it more. My final grade is 8/10 for this series. Thats an 8/10 within its genre and as a casual, comedy show. A good show… though with some reservations. Also Mami has not seen enough character development. This is mostly why she is not as like able. |

| @LordKirkis Indeed. I watched all season only because Ruka. And I loved what happened in season 2 :) Mami is a person who is bored of everything, and always is complaining "oh im bored" "so bored" I have/has/had :D such friend, and was so annoying when starting to playing bored card - I'm not your clown to make you entertainment. Any way, I kinda waiting for next season(4th), but not really. |
