If there’s one anime character this year that I want to punch, one character that I want to throw off a bridge, or one character that I simply want to say ‘you’re pathetic’ to their face, it would be Kazuya Kinoshita.

Imagine living in your neighborhood and all of a certain, there’s a hot girl living right next door to you. What’s the first thing you’d say to her? For Kazuya, his first conversation with Chizuru Mizuhara doesn’t exactly go his way. He’s far from an alpha male and his social experience is far from his set of skills. In fact, his girlfriend Mami even dumped ...

Prostitution with an extra step.

Rent-a-girlfriend. An app that allows you to rent a girlfriend for a large fee. Mediocre humor with a bunch of thots. Nothing is worse than bad humor with cringe. I'm not sure if I can last all 12 episodes. It's not even good shit.

Story - 1/10
Slightly unique storyline. Obviously not the first time we've seen this. Throwing in more and more girls. Just a big mess. Basically becomes a harem show and it seems like all the girls fall in love with the main character.

Art - 7/10
The art looks really nice. It's well-drawn and well animated. Pretty cute. It ...

This is a positive review on Kanojo, Okarishimasu. So if you wanted to watch it but were discouraged from some of the other reviews, this is for you,

So basically this is the first review I have put out there on MAL. Konojo, Okarishimasu has had my interest for a while, basically since it was announced. For the past episodes I have really enjoyed this anime. The main genre of anime that I watch is Romance Comedies so this is right down my ally. Every episode so far is enjoyable and the endings make me want to see what happens next.

When you decide to watch this ...

Everyone really be out here hating on this show for its depiction of a hopelessly perverted protagonist and a morally questionable theme whereas I’m just over here enjoying the heck out of this cute yet cringy anime.

Rent-A-Girlfriend is the latest installation in the ever popular RomCom genre. Anime of this nature are often criticized for generally following similar structures and plot progression, so each individual one often comes with its own “quirky’” gimmick in an attempt to set itself apart from the crowd and draw in some intrigue. The one in this anime happens to revolve around rentable girlfriends. That’s right weebs of culture! ...

Wonderful, magnificent, splendid, extraordinary! I couldn't take it, I went to the manga, and it improved my impression, with its exciting and totally addictive story.

History:
The story has a striking premise, as it is different and denotes potential. In spite of this, it starts in a simple way, with some situational constraints creating a love triangle, involving an ex-girlfriend, a rental girlfriend, and a boy with problems typical of the age and culture to which he belongs. However, this is just a hook for something much more complex, dramatic, and profound, with many other things being inserted into a great plot.

It is a story that has ...

Way too many people fail to understand what this story is all about.

It's NOT a story about renting....
It's NOT a story about lying....
It's NOT a story about a useless protagonists....

It's a story about unlikely relationships!
It's a story about funny mishaps!
It's a story about discovering your true feelings, doing the right things despite all odds and fighting for those you really care about.

Kanokari might be the worst show I’ve ever watched. The story is built on a lie that snowballs out of control, told by a beta knucklehead that just couldn't stop boasting, and filled with smooth brains that can’t act like adults. I spent half my time watching these 4 episodes cringing at the male protagonist Kinoshita’s actions and their consequences.

There’s so much to say I don’t even know where to start. Right from the first episode, the idiocy of the protagonist Kinoshita is already on full display. Renting a girlfriend, then proceeding to get angry because of her “acting” is the kind of 10/10 mental ...

I’m not a big fan of harems. I personally dislike harems (judging from the trailer and cover) so i didn’t think this show would be anything above average, yet i still gave it a try since i just loved the art

story: 7

to be honest I found that parts of the episodes were cringey especially the first episode, but I liked the fact that i usually don’t see a “rent a girlfriend“ thing, i got to give it props for making me laugh quite a bit!

art: 8

I liked the art style it was very refreshing to look at!

Rent a girlfriend, the title says it all but I'll actually explain.
Our main character is known as a simp. Or if you are reading this when that word is no longer a thing, Somebody/Sucka who Idolizes Mediocre Pussy.

He is a desperate virgin obsessed his ex-girlfriend. A girl he only seems to really like because she is attractive. At least he never says much about her personality when talking about her.
After she breaks up with him for very good reasons, he goes online and pays a girl to date him.
A girl would goes to school with him...and lives next to him...and their families know each other...

Rental GF is the next entry in my Despair Saga and as usual it has taken a toll on me.
If it wasn’t noticeable by the already highly upvoted influx of negative reviews this series isn’t good by any criteria of requirement.

The romance genre in anime is vast and popular. In recent years however it seems to have become the trend to adapt more “incel” type stories. Yes, I will not beat around the bush here, Rent a GF is an incel anime. This is not to insult anyone who potentially gets enjoyment out of this series by implying they are such, but the main character ...

Story:
First of all the story, but they are not really true to reality. But to say it is not too bad. The layout, as well as the psychological development of the character are quite good. That's the point of the story: it's about changing to become a worthy person, as well as being a man.
But: But the anime was cut a lot compared to the manga so actually.... Meh

Art :
As for the art, it's really good. I have seen many anime but to say the drawing is quite cute, lovely, close. Especially for the emotional description.

Sound:
The music is really catchy. So really there's not ...

This left such a bad taste that I couldn't help leave my first review.

Story - 1/10
There is no story. It is a bunch of forced interactions strewn up together to result in an unbearably horrid plot. This is supposed to be a college rom-com. There is neither romance nor comedy. But I suppose that is only natural, after all, how can a grade-schooler with an immeasurable libido in the body of a college student with no dignity or self-respect, falls in love with a rental girlfriend knowing that she is being a professional and providing the required service, whilst still having an erection whenever he ...

Rent-a-GF, I really wanted to like you because you had good art, had a banger of an OP, and had stellar waifu designs, but I just couldn't. You were a toxic relationship, and one that I want to forget as soon as possible.

Rent-a-GF has a unique story I guess. You rarely encounter "romantic comedies" where a guy conveniently rents a girlfriend to get rid of his woes after a break-up. However, this novelty was all I enjoyed about rent-a-GF because although the plot was passable in its own bizarre way, the characters weren't.

Chizuru was an odd character and one that I didn't really ...

Without a doubt, one of the most stressful experiences I've ever had when watching an anime. There are very few things that save here, I even liked the changes in tone caused by the change in personalities performed by the character Chizuru Ichinose that comes up unexpectedly and changes the tone of the plot for some time, but that's practically just that.

I even understand what he wants to try to accomplish, trying to be this anime that will play with these everyday conventions of anime of the same genre, on paper he can even try to do that, but the formula itself does not escape ...

This one's a bit of a headscratcher. I was discussing the anti-popularity of the series with my girlfriend and we couldn't come up with a solid reason why 'Rent-a-Girlfriend' gets SO MUCH flak.

Don't get me wrong - it's a flawed and rather generic series. The characters are meh, the visuals are great, and the premise is just alright with its edginess. 'Rent-a-Girlfriend' can be summarized as a gorgeously animated rom-com with a shitload of clichés, chronically dumb characters, and rather cheap drama.

That applies to so many other series, though. And by some law of contradictions, it's exactly these hilariously bad aspects that make the series ...
