This was underwhelming.

Do you guys/girls feel disappointed as well, did any if you hoped to see Shikimori kick more ass and be cool to the point of scary. Or Ijumi having an ACTUAL traumatic childhood, where ACTUAL horrible things happened to him.

Basically you just want to make it into a generic RomCom series. Why can't people just enjoy the show, it's about a couple doing couple things, why did you even expect to have drama in it while there's no tag about it???

SofiaBulga said:


Then why was Shikimori's character hyped up so much. She looked like some biker chick, when serious. Also I felt her character had potential that was wasted on this type of show, to say the least.

So you're telling us that you intentionally didn't read the synopsis, nor did you saw its genres or even botherd to watch the full trailer because if you did you'll understand and expect what this show is actually about..
Wow these criticisms are becoming more stupid day by day

I don't think anything could make this anime any better, it's high mid and it's perfect as it is. It being drama or action would just ruin everything ngl. Also Shikimori is just a top tier waifu on the level of Mai herself. In the future make sure to look at the tags.

OozoraShuba said:

Just gonna tell you about this, if you want to see more badass side of Shikimori, you should read the manga. The anime didn't really catch that side while instead showing more of her cute side.

SofiaBulga said:


Why would I spoil myself on purpose! Do I look like you, a sheep or something. Recently you can get spoiled on everything that has even a little hype attached to it. I don't think I need to remind you of this crap. You should start watching an anime hoping to be pleasently surprised, not being able to predict every boring thing that'll happen.

OozoraShuba said:

Lmao, this girl didn't even want to know about the synopsis nor watch the trailer, and then started complaining about it. Peak stupidity I guess.

SofiaBulga said:


Says the plebian that only joined this year. Realise that you need credibility to be listened to and not just heard numbskull.

SofiaBulga said:


The fuck I will, Shikimori's character is wasted here. Kaguya-sama already reigns as the de facto god of rom-coms, for better or worse.
This anime is painfully predictable, it's characters are so surface level it's ridiculous and it's two redeeming qualities are stuck in slice of life like setting where they'll never reach their full potential. If that's not sad I don't know what is.

Ionliosite2 said:
Iwasn't really dissapointed, I think it could be boring at times but it had some good episodes. Definitely not the best romcom out there, but I wasn't execting something out of the ordinary.

Taguri said:

There is no point comparing is to Kaguya-sama as these two anime don't have anything in common besides them both being romance. You might be forgetting that Shikimori is still a girl who wants a guy who cares deeply for her like Ijumi does. If you can't appreciate slice of life genre than just don't watch it. And once again, Shikimori is still a top tier waifu on the level of Mai herself. And also someone told me that Shikimori is more badass in manga but I don't know as I didn't read the manga.

SofiaBulga said:
Okay I apologize

I am being dreadful and bitchy and a pain. It's my own fault that I didn't like the anime and took out my frustration out on you all. Seriously I didn't mean any of the insulting things I said to you.
Thanks for posting.

I’ll be honest, I think Izumi was a pathetic mc. His only personality traits are “nice” and “clumsy in the cringiest way”. It looked like we might get more character depth from Shikimori in later seasons, so I’m not going to say too much about her for now. It also didn’t help that the side characters were extremely basic and felt like they were written in solely to have more than two named characters in the show. I actually like Shikimori’s brother than the boring trio of side characters.

In short, yea, underwhelming so far.

OozoraShuba said:

If you think Izumi is a pathetic MC, you must think Kazuya is a "God".

chainsaw_guy said:

Nah. I do prefer that anime much more though. At least Kazuya’s garbage personality is realistic. Izumi is just the ideal yet unreal boyfriend that others want to pretend they can relate to.

OozoraShuba said:

Lmao imagine calling Kazuya as a "realistic" person. I guess you're no different from him, both are garbage and love to fap on someone you know. Disgusting.

chainsaw_guy said:

He’s just a horny dude that’s a loser. I’d say more people are like that than “oh no oopsy. I fell up the stairs again ):. Oopsy.”

I just don’t like Izumi’s lame personality traits. They’re empty and nonexistent.

OozoraShuba said:

I just hope you'll date someone who's horny af and using other person to fap on instead of someone who's a nice person. Let's see if you'll keep your words on.

chainsaw_guy said:

No no, again, I don’t want that, I just don’t like the unrealistic depiction of Izumi. It detracts from the enjoyment of the show for me.

It’s okay though, we can disagree (:

OozoraShuba said:

Man... This is anime, lots of bullshit and unrealistic stuff in here. If you want to watch something realistic, just go watch a drama series.

chainsaw_guy said:

Yea that’s a fair point, but for the slice of life / rom-com genre, I prefer characters that I feel like actually exist.

That said, have you watched Horimiya? If so, how do you feel about it? Because I think that’s a show that was very well done.

dlee2040 said:

I don't understand your argument. You first call Izumi a "pathetic mc" then you call him "the ideal yet unreal boyfriend that others want to pretend they can relate to." So is he the most worthless person in the world, or is he a borderline Gary Stu? I do think that there are a lot of good traits about him that people conveniently seem to ignore, but he has more than enough flaws to not be perfect.

dlee2040 said:


I feel like the manga's charms didn't really translated well into the adaptation, and as a result, it feels really bland next to the manga. Not saying that everyone who hates the anime will like the manga, but I know a lot of people who think that the anime is a significant downgrade from the manga.

I'm amazed how a stupid creature like you could give Rent a Girlfriend a 7.

Please don't turn into one of those idiots who think going through someone's profile and finding opinions you disagree with genuinely makes your argument better.
