For such an interesting premise, the show really let me down. Kanojo ga Flag is proof that a synopsis never describes a show well since the MAL synopsis is what made me watch it in the first place.
The general idea is fairly interesting; the MC has the ability to see "flags" (in his case, literal flags) on peoples' heads that let him know what may happen in their future, or what their personalities are like. Given this, you might think that it would just be a simple harem romcom with him juggling like seven relationships around, but no. Right from the start, the plot is
...
so thick you can't even tell what's going on. The show doesn't explain why anything is happening until like 3/4 of the way in. And even then, it has more plot holes than a ripped-up fishing net.
The art and music are pretty decent, at least. The art style looks a bit like the older Ghibli films with more modern colorings, so characters may look younger than they really are. This isn't too much of a problem, but it did throw me off for the first three episodes.
The characters themselves are entertaining. There's not much they can do to salvage the absolutely terrible plot, but they can be just funny enough to warrant the comedy tag. I did enjoy the interactions between MC and Akane a bit, but there weren't that many of those.
Overall, not worth your time. Go watch another harem.
