Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai? Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen

Only first four episodes of the first season were watchable, everything else is just cringy sentimentalism and penis jokes. This season really disappointed me,
I was hoping to see some kind of evolution, but this series really loves the status quo. Was Chika meant to be funny? Every one of her appearances made me want to drop this idiotic show.
Don't be fooled, guys. References to other media were the only things that made this anime stand out among the others all season (which was really bad).
I'll give it a 3 because production was decent and the opening is catchy.

This is such a good anime and the first season was a blast even the second season started with wonderfully. But lately I was so disappointed going into the last 4 5 episodes. I mean they were exceptionally good episodes but it was all about friendship or sometimes just to make you laugh or the emotional episode of Ishigami. But there were no or hardly any episodes related to Miyuki and Kaguya. Production wise it was worst. If all these episodes were on the beginning side it would still be fine but it had the worst possible ending. If I wanted to watch something about ... friendship and have a laugh wouldn't I watch The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. The ending episodes were really disapointing.

EDIT: This is an older review and my reviewing skills were pretty meh back then so take this with a grain of salt

Kaguya-sama: Love is War is my currently my favorite romcom anime, and I think I have a good reason to like it.

Story-8: The story is mostly about Kaguya and Shirogane trying to get the other confess their love and usually get into crazy antics. A very unique sort of story

Art-7:The Art's pretty solid and has very good detail on the eyes. I really like the character design as well.

Sound-7: Really the only part where Love is War lacks in. The opening's pretty funky ... and the show has some pretty nice soundtracks but nothing that really makes me feel it.

Character-8: The characters are not 2-dimensional and have a lot of personality in them which makes the show even more enjoyable

Enjoyment-9:It's always very enjoyable and fun to see what the student council will get into. You Never can really predict what's going to happen next.

Overall-9: The show's a blast to watch and I highly recommend this show to everyone.

Okay, so this is my first review, I never wanted to write reviews on anime, but this masterpiece is an exception. I have been reading the manga of love is war, but the anime still delivers. The first opening was spicy, but the second opening is more like-able, they even kept the same singer on the first opening.

This piece is really relatable to me, I have been waiting for Miko Iino's debut, because I can somewhat appreciate her hard work and I can relate on how scared she is towards crowds. Crowds is really not my thing, ever since i screwed up when I was ... on junior high, I would always prefer writing than speaking. I can also relate to Shirogane's studious attitude, on how bad he wants to beat Shinomiya with her test scores, because I also study so hard just to pass high school, I slept 2 AM and woke up 6 AM before just to pass high school, and I really don't want to remember those bad times. "Talent can't beat hardwork", I do believe anybody is capable if you work hard enough. The story really makes me remember my times on high school, like when they disbanded the student council, and Chika cried, it made me tear up because I never had a graduation on high school because or Corona virus, we parted ways without being able to enjoy a ceremony.

Art is superb, I cannot ask for anything more, same with sounds, I may not be a professional, but I enjoy the anime more than the manga on this piece because of how they are able to present their feelings well, how the art and sounds made you feel how you were supposed to feel on a specific moment. But if I were to criticize something, I would've preferred if Shirogane's group were a bit more terrifying when they were entering the venue during Episode 6, I think the manga delivered more on this part. Nevertheless, it's only a small matter and overall, I really enjoy this piece and I never miss the opening every new episode has arrived.

As you can see from my score, this shows absolutely deserved a 10/10. One of many recommendation from my sister, this series managed to stay fresh and the gag are original. There aren't any negative aspect that I can think of. The student council still have some decent chemistry.

However, the highlight of this season is Shinomiya x Shirogane moment. Since this season is underwhelming due to COVID-19 postponing some major known shows(Such as, Re:Zero, SAO and Oregairu), Kaguya-Sama should be under everybody radar.

Animation: 10/10
Story: 10/10
Character: 10/10

Mini-rant: The way how A1 Pictures are handling Kaguya-Sama, is making me jealous. Other series in their portfolio don't ... get this type of treatment. Some series ended up being rushed or axed badly. For instance, A1 Pictures mismanagement toward SAO hurted the series.

With its second season, the show just gets better. Makes me laugh, cry and yearn for more all at the same time. Heavy Kaguya x Shirogane shipper here. One of my all time favourite shows.

So far I am loving how the progression of the story is going (Ep4) and Episode 3 was just amazing haha. I can see how the characters are slowly developing and getting closer to eachother and its such an enjoyable show to watch.

Will love to see more and hopefully it stays with the manga and eventually completes it and not gives up the story halfway. This is gold.

Love is war season 2 is the saviour of the spring 2020 anime season undeniably.This anime is like Moses that parted the red sea of despair and disappointment of the spring 2020 anime. The spring 2020 anime season was supposed to be filled with amazing anime and sequels that would entertain and hype us up amidst the unforeseen virus that has befallen on humanity out of nowhere. But with the suddenly lockdown in Japan , many anime were postponed to the upcoming season. Many shows were postponed left and right and to be honest , I thought that the spring 2020 anime roster will be ... left with bang average anime. When news announced that Love is war season 2 was going on as scheduled, I was glad that at least there will be a hyped anime that was going to air now. And thankfully , I can say without a doubt that Love is war season 2 has lived up to my expectation of being an amazing anime that carry the spring 2020 season behind its back.

Animation - 9

The animation of Love is war season 2 was amazing. From the first episode all the way to the last one , the animation never drop in its quality. I really enjoyed the animation and was really immersed in it. The art style done by A1 picture used for this season was the same as the last one and I’m glad they keep it. The characters design and facial expression were also top notch. The animation really compliments the different scenes in the anime. The emotions and feelings that was exuded by the characters in the anime was able to be felt due to it’s high quality animation and art style.

Story - 9

The premise of the story for love is war is the same as the first season; it is just both kaguya and shirogane finding ways to make the other person to confess their love. However , this season was quite different compared to the first season. There are more screen time given to the side characters. The story also allow the audience to know more better about the side characters and enjoy their presence.The story also introduces new characters and was able to keep the new characters relevant even after their respective arcs have ended.Because of this , the story isn’t just about 2 characters trying to make the other person confess in every single episode. This makes the story less dull and regurgitating .Other than that, as a romcom anime , the story has progression, albeit slowly. All those small interaction and scenes between kaguya and shirogane actually was not only fun and enjoyable, but it was great that those scenes were able to serve as progression toward their character growth and relationship. Therefore, the story is pretty good.


Character- 8

Since most of the characters in the anime were already introduced in the first season, all I can say is that the characters are interesting and are well written. The characters also show character development which really elevate the show as a whole.Well , romcom show sort of suck if the characters have a characteristic of a paper and have limited character development.


Sound-9

The opening and ending of the anime was great.The opening was catchy and suited the light-hearted romcom anime it is.The ending was soothing and was a fitting ending song of an episode. The voice actors and actress also played a tremendous job in the anime, especially kaguya voice actress. She was able to voice act kaguya perfectly and was able to execute all the scenes well especially the transition between kaguya’s inner monologue and her real life interaction.The background music also complements the anime really well.

Enjoyment -10

I really enjoyed this season more than I think I would.I’m glad they didn’t postpone the anime.The episodes were funny and enjoyable and was worth waiting every week.


As the spring season comes to an end , there are many bad things we wish to forget and hope to move forward from. I for one, wish to forget about this lackluster season and wish to move on to the next season. However, if there is one thing to remember about spring 2020 , is that there is one amazing anime that was able to shine brightly out of them all.

Ok so wtf was studio A-1 Pictures's exe were thinking when they decided to come up with a sequel of this anime, given that this simple just ended in a opening ending where nether Kaguya nor Miyuke had confess their love for each other and IMAO, that last episode's ending was just too too lame to say the least....so let's get down to brass tax:

Story- Mediocre 5: The first one was just A "OK" but as somebody decides to make a sequel of this anime, well, from there it was just mediocre and IMAO, there was just no fun in it anymore.....When nothing has change, ... It would have been better if the last episode features Miyuki's term as president ended and that's the part where they should've given the open ending where both Miyuki and Kaguya were attempting to confess to each other.

Art- Mediocre 5: As usual don't expect nay fanservices from any of the girls around here, no swimsuit , onsen and any locker room changing services around.

Sound-Mediocre 5: Even though the opening and the ending themes have change the message were still the same and I have no love for it......As for the seiyuu's , well I just don't give a damn as to who did who.....well I kinda still hate Chika's voice for being a retard...

Character-Mediocre 5: Still a bunch of retards from the student council, like Miyuki Shirogane, who was trying to be this student council president who acts cool and pretends to be cool as if he knows everything and still pretends to be cool to the things that he doesn't have any idea about in which makes him kinda stupid for a guy who has good grades, Kaguya Shinimiya, still this VP who was as retard as the student council president where she too acts cool instead of being honest with her feelings , and as usual they still beat around the bush instead of be direct, thought their attitude with each other were good in the first sequel , the second sequel that's were they become annoying, Chika Fujiwara maybe a very odd but likable character in the first. But here, she was pretty much annoying. Yu Isigami , well nothing has change about him, in fact she one character that can be sacrifice and nobody would give a shit about him, and new addition, to the student council , Iino, Miko who would have been better of being Miyuki's successor that's if only Miyuki had stepped down....then again who was she anywayz......


Enjoyment- Poor 3: Because it was a sequel , I only felt like being dragged on my ass watching it, TBFH, I did skipped a few episode or two given the predictability of this anime.

Overall- Poor 3: Don't even think about having a season 3, bioch!

I would like to preface this review by saying that this type of show, essentially a Rom-com is usually not on my list of favorite genres. This show is an exception for me.

Kaguya sama has enjoyed major success and has quickly garnered a fan base for it's quirky, over the top humor. What other people see in this show that makes it rated close to a 9,I can't tell you. But, i will say that this is a very enjoyable show.

It takes everything from season one and dials it up a little bit. The show finally has a sense of progression and stakes. The ... comedy is just as good, only this time the characters have grown and changed in their own little ways. This show handles the Rom-com idea in way that it's plenty funny , plenty romantic but never too sappy. The rare moments of actual emotional connection always feel well deserved like the characters somehow earned it. The side characters and side plots are also progressing pretty consistently comparing it to the first season.

Other things you might want to know:

-Fujiwara is still best girl.
-The opener is a banger and is already in my Spotify.
-The animation quality is still excellent

In short, This season is more of the first season, but with a story that actually seems to be moving. If you liked season 1, chances are that you will enjoy this just as much or even more.

Cheers.

I've tried to find a weakness in this anime but there is none. It's a review of S1+ what is released of S2 so far.

Story 10/10 : What can i say? When you got a romcom that is actually romance and comedy in a perfect balance and that is excellent as a romance and as a comedy, you can only yield to this perfection. I've read and watch a LOT of romcom and that's just the only one that managed to make me laugh out loud (and not just snorting air) and being in bliss infront of such a sweet and NOT frustrating romance.

Art 10/10 ... : There is nothing to say here, the animation is high quality, the chara design is unique and well done, i won't say it's ufotable but for a romcom there is just nothing more to ask for.

Sound 10/10 : Be it the OP or the ED of both seasons, they are top tier, and getting masayuki suzuki ,aka japan's king of love song, to write and sing both OP of S1 and S2 and doing a damn good job at that, you just have to give 10/10.

Character 10/10 : I'm not very good putting words on how i feel about complicated matters, all i can say is that each character is unique and god damn, it's really hard to find that in a romcom anime.

Enjoyement 10/10 : There isn't a single boring episode, there isn't any drama that is forced or kept around too much, the balance between comedy and romance is perfectly done, you get just the right amount of screen time between each side characters not overly done or forgotten.

Overall 10/10 : I doubt i will ever find a better romcom than love is war, it deserve every love it gets, thanks for this amazing masterpiece.

Overall, another solid season. I don't think it was as good as the first season, but it has some really great moments. I think a large part of why it wasn't as good was because there was no important climax in Miyuki and Kaguya's relationship like the first season. Although some could argue that something like that wasn't needed because we had Ishigami's arc as the main focus in the last few episodes, which I really enjoyed, I still feel like the the season petered out. There isn't as much fuel or drive behind Miyuki and Kaguya's conflict as there was at the end of ... the first season.

That said, the quality of the show was consistent throughout, reaching the same level of quality as the first season. I love the animation and the voice acting is so good and really entertaining to listen to. I guess the only problem I had with the show was the way the show was paced in the end. Still a super solid show though and the character development is stellar. Can't wait for the next season.

Well this is one of my favorite anime to relax when I have to eat a snack. There are people upset because the anime there is no love or advance.

That is the mistake, this anime should not be taken seriously. There is an attraction between kaguya and shirogane, but it is more comedy with romantic overtones than anything else.

In fact, i doubt that this type of manipulation can be considered love. And if it does, Love advances at the speed of a turtle. This happens because there are no previous love experiences in their lives, they dont know what it is.
Maybe because they ... are so applied.

Perhaps it is giving him a lot of credit. But it's fun to watch and (throw me a flying kick if I'm wrong) how many times do we complicate something as simple as expressing what we feel. I have the thought that this anime works so well for the Japanese culture itself and the way it is well seen to show affection. You have to consider that.

Situations cliches still exist and jokes can go from fun to boring.
Because even the rest of characters like Fujiwara or Ishigami hardly ever realize what our protagonists feel. It is as if everyone did not have love in their life which is convenient for the plot. Well-defined sound and art are still powerful and attractive

For now, the anime is on top and you have to give it a try. if they get more seasons with the same misunderstandings they will end up boring their audience. The chapters are fun if you have nothing to do and you could even skip a couple. But again, don't take it seriously.


My only wish is that if the protagonists get married, continue to see how they misunderstand everything.

I've always thought of Kaguya-sama as a mediocre happy show offering nothing more than comedies just for laugh. Not until I watched the second season where my entire perspective of the series changed dramatically. Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai?: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen, or the second season of Kaguya-sama offers more than just comedies.

The second season of Kaguya-sama offers more aspects of High school. Which of course obviously include depression and tiresome. Now people might be thinking, "won't that just ruin the reputation of the show as a comedy high school?". I think otherwise. And apparently a lot of people agrees with me, judging by the ... skyrocketing score this season has received which is nearly as high as Steins;gate!!

I'll be honest. I started this not expecting much but another 12 additional episodes of comedy. Unexpectedly getting hit by depression as I'm lying down on my bed comfortably and waiting for them to make more jokes was quite a shock. But as a big fan of psychological and drama. I highly approve of this shit. Although it was quite obvious that it would happen as the expression on their face sometimes look like the expression every high schooler would make ( I don't know if this is just me but I'll just point it out ).

10/10. Very good. Must watch. Recommended to all.

It's a season sequel, so it's pretty great.

Honestly, in my opinion, the first season was alright. I didn't feel like it stood out too much, it was just another seasonal anime I would watch.

However, the second season is really something different. From the first episode, there was something just off compared to the first season. In my eyes, there was an upgrade all of a sudden. It's possible it was just Hayasaka's arc. It's possible the studio just improved on the series. Something felt different, and I knew it was a change for the better.

Really enjoying the second season so far! It's quirky, funny, it ... has some really well made scenes, and the opening is quite catchy. The series is definitely doing well.

not RomCom. just a comedy show.

It's not even funny.
Story is written very badly. or in this case; very average. mostly boring. = 4/10

Art very average 4/10

Sound kind of ok = 5/10

Character = Ok 4/10
...
I can sort of enjoy it if I turn of my brain. But I won't spend a cent for this anime.

That.s how bad it is. Not worth the money.
Is a great starter anime for noops though.

newby will easily find this anime fun to watch as it is easy to understand. Very easy to understand, if they can't understand; probably had some serious problem on the education ends.
This anime does teach some values, but are mostly crooked. Don't try similar things if you go to japan unless you want to be an actors.

Then again, this is something like for fantasy. This anime do not need you to be a litter good in intelligence at all. You can be a kid of 3 years old and will still enjoy it.
basically, the anime is easy to understand. good for beginners.

“Practice makes perfect!”

When hearing that quote for the first time, one would feel motivated. As for the second time, one would probably feel motivated. As for the third time and so on, one would probably not feel motivated- though some exception here and then, as someone like “Ishigami” would probably deny it from the first hearing, or nevermind.

“Kaguya Sama Season 2” suffers the second-season-of-comedy-anime syndrome. Or in simple terms: “The overused/repetitive jokes from the first season or the unnecessary arrival of serious tone”. Or in Anime terms: The repetitive humor of nose-bleeding in Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni!, or the pointless drama of ... Ayumu’s killer in Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? But how exactly? In vague terms, “Kaguya Sama Season 2” fails to innovate new jokes, due to the fact that they didn’t feel the need to expand their “plot-choices”.

When you look at the characterization of each characters in the show, it’s clear that they have little to no depth, however it’s fine for a comedy anime, such as this, that excels on the brilliantly directed comedy and witty remarks(sometimes), as the concept of “forcing the other to confess their love” is good enough to naturally grow, and endlessly be funny. But that’s not the case, as it goes on and are used again and again, such concept shares the same fate as the quote “Practice makes perfect!”, but then why does a show like Konosuba works? Well, Konosuba doesn’t have any characterization too, but what truly makes it funny is the natural, fun character interactions between Kazuma and the gang. And something as universal as good character interactions, have infinite plot-choices, that is able to infinitely grow and create something truly unique every time. The thing to point out is that, there are no, one specific joke at all, but it's their character dynamics and chemistry that makes it funny, however those things are not pre-determined, rather naturally created. As for the case of “Kaguya Sama Season 2”, although still having good directing, the “outwitting” concept can only go so far. As for the season goes, the comedy is 80% executed through a misunderstanding, whether it be through Kaguya’s boomer knowledge of the world, or Miko’s bad timing, followed by Kaguya and Shirogane doing “things”. Then another 15% is thrown into the old, repetitive exploits of the characters’ traits, whether it be the interactions, such as Ishigami thinks Kaguya is a devil, or just Chika being “Cute”. While, the remaining 5% goes towards actual fresh, funny humor, such as the manga parody or the balloon scene. One thing to note is, that indeed comedy is subjective, but it’s scientifically proven that the same jokes repeated over and over won’t cut it, and I don’t mean the nature of “misunderstanding” as a whole, as it can be executed in brilliant ways multiple times, but “Kaguya Sama” cannot do this. Not because it doesn’t execute it brilliantly, even if it did, it can’t, because the plot-choices are very limited, in fact the comedy can only happen in the student council room and only to the bland members of the student council. This happens because of the lack of new settings, or bad usage of new characters, or just the lack of characterizations, etc. (Unlike in Season 1, with the Kashiwagi Consultation Arc, or the introduction of Ishigami, and the fact that the concept of the show was still fresh and new)

At episode 6, a glimpse of hope arrived, as a new character is introduced, which’s Miko Iino, a girl who seemed to be a “stickler”. But what surprised me the most, is the change in tone from a fun, lighthearted comedy, into a serious character backstory. This sudden change, causes a huge reveal in what the writer is trying to do, expand plot-choices, indicating that perhaps “Kaguya Sama Season 2”, is willing to characterize more characters- well unfortunately it didn’t end up that way. Although the backstory was believable, and explained Miko’s character to an acceptable level, the show decided to use Shirogane’s magic- I know what you’re thinking, what is Shirogane’s “magic”, well in fact it doesn’t exist, but anyways through the “magic”, Miko is able to overcome her anxiety when it comes to public speaking. Yeah, it’s pretty bullshit, because it is bullshit. Aside from the terrible development, what disappointed me the most is the character usage of Miko. Introducing a new character is good news, if used correctly to make the comedy better, as it allows more plot-choices to happen- but no, instead of using her “stickler” character to develop the already existing concept of “outwitting”, she barely got any screen time. Even when she did, she was only there as a punchline to a certain joke (they did her really dirty), an example is when she walked in to “Kaguya giving Shirogane a massage”, hence creating a misunderstanding by her.

Moving on to further emphasize the lack of characterization of the main gang, it’s easy to say that they’re all two dimensional, except of course Miko and Ishigami.(which I'll point out later), in fact, it’s very easy to describe their whole personality in one word: Kaguya is a tsundere, Chika is cute, and Shirogane is image-conscious. What makes it sad is the fact that the show tries to conceal this fact, through melodrama and the bright, orange color of sunset, as the characters cry while recalling all their activities in the student council, before leaving their last farewells. Yes, I'm talking about episode 3, where the gang bid their farewell to the student council. However, it just doesn’t work, as we don’t care about the characters, nor had the chance to even be attached to them in the first place. The lack of depths, made that whole scene to be summarized as “A wolf in sheep’s skin”.

“Kaguya Sama Season 2” continues to disappoint as it hints characterization here and then, yet it never commits to it. A good example is the romance progression that’s non-existent. There was this scene where Shirogane and Kaguya was stuck in a shed, and Kaguya accidentally fell to a perfectly safe matrass, however being madly in love, Shirogane tried to save her, as a result the two of them were in the position to kiss. Like any other people, they decided to kiss- well almost. Surprise, surprise Miko “walks in” on them and the whole scene became a comedy relief. Not only does that emphasize the bad usage of Miko, it also shows that the series can’t seem to balance between being “serious” and being “funny”. Although, I must give them props on how they handled Ishigami’s development. It was amazingly executed and it succeeded at making me, a person who dislikes the show, become attached to him. However, the timing of this development does no good to the whole season, as it was located at the last 3 episodes. What I mean by this, is indeed it expands the plot-choices, however the show ends after he developed, hence the comedy aspect can’t be affected by it this season. Then, it’s also very interesting that the show decided to develop Ishigami first, instead of Kaguya or Shirogane, logically the leads of the show needs to be developed first before the side characters, but looking at the nature of the show, and its concept of “outwitting” between the leads, a development in a sign that isn’t romance, wouldn’t affect much, in fact it may hurt the nature of the show, whether it be Kaguya maturing, or the other, even if it was only to add depths to her already-existing characteristics, it doesn’t allow more plot-choices to appear, as the show revolves around her and Shirogane’s “love”, trying to make the other “confess”. Unlike, Ishigami’s which would most definitely help a lot in the upcoming season, whether it be from character interactions or the comedy aspects. Speaking of the upcoming season, such development of Ishigami indicates that perhaps even more characterizations will happen, and the show will only benefit from this.

At the end, “Kaguya Sama Season 2” was disappointing, however by the end it seemed like it is finding its feet. Despite the constant criticisms I gave that leads back to the main point of: “expanding plot-choices", “Kaguya Sama” has the wonderful choice to just make amazing creative comedy, that takes a break from the whole “making the other confess” concept/theme. The show has proven that they’re capable on being a creative comedy as shown in several arcs in Season 1, such as the French exchange party and twice in Season 2, with the best being the manga parody in episode 7. With that being said, they can’t entirely escape the main concept, hence an expand in plot-choices is essential to “Kaguya Sama” right now. In fact, if a competent person, or someone looked up by others said: “Practice makes perfect!”, no matter how many times they say it to someone, that someone will always be motivated by it.

Watched 8 episodes so far Have to say it lacks the kicks from the 1st season. Same old jokes in some cases over and over.

Story: 6/10
Story really is dragging the momentum down as each episode airs.

Character: 10/10
But only redeeming thing going for it is its characters. Chika Fujiwara is just amazing as each episode passes. Her and Yū Ishigami's interactions are PURE GOLD and hilarious. Missing Kaguya Shinomiya's cold looks very much like shes completely changed from the core. Miyuki Shirogane is as he was in the first season and a bit expressive.

Sound: 2/10
Sound is horrific and please someone change that narrator. His ... voice bleeds tears from my ears.

Art: 10/10
Art is fantastic like top notch.

Verdict: Watch it for the characters.

Master piece. the only way to describe this show.
It's just so great. the comedy, the story, the romance, cute girls, awesome characters. all in this show.
Kaguya-sama, second season in particular, is the most awesome adaptation. The anime is hilarious with good story progression. not to mention, all the characters are like able with back stories. The opening and the ending are really good to listen.
Every episode has 3-4 part so that you will never get bored. The voice acting is also exceptional. the arcs are really fun to watch. just overall an awesome show. 100% recommended.
This anime's characters, as I mentioned are ... all like able. everyone has different stories, then characters are different and unique. This isn't just any romcom anime, this anime can sometimes be really serious in the arcs and still be quite enjoyable.
in the end, phenomenal adaptation. Trust me, you will love this show

Who gave this show the fucking right?

I watched the dub of this show, which, for those who don't know, is almost a different show in terms of its comedy. Now, it's not like the ever-popular Ghost Stories dub in how much it alters the characters and plot, but it is comparable in that it made me laugh my absolute ass off. The narrator is the main change, and is fucking hysterical; Ian Sinclair is often joked about as probably having done cocaine before recording his lines. And as someone who generally doesn't laugh at shows much beyond a chuckle or a nose exhale, the fact ... that this makes me burst out laughing to the point of pausing to catch my breath is a baffling achievement. The comedy and performances from the dub are spectacular.

But that's more just season 1. Season 2 comes in with unreasonably good character writing and drama to match the comedy, with a portrayal of social isolation to rival A Silent Voice. Such well-handled drama has no right to be so well done in a show this goddamn funny, but here were are nonetheless, nearly making me cry in the same episodes I'm laughing harder than I have in years.

Rating a show that's primary goal is to make me laugh a 9 is impressive, and S2 went above and beyond in all categories, and is one of the only comedy-centric stories I would ever rate a 10. It's just that funny, and the character moments are just that good.

If you're here it means you already watched the first season or read the manga. If not then what are you waiting for?

Just a short review since there is nothing special to add. If you love seeing Kaguya's face then you'll be served. The range of Kaguya's emotions keeps on growing and I couldn't be happier. These first few episodes were heavily Kaguya focused and her character developed even more. She's more in tune with the feelings and emotions. I can see the climax coming soon.

The rest of the crew is still as funny and energetic as before. And I can even see a hint ... of character development for Fujiwara? She's slowly starting to become self aware.
This anime is what you call a teenage love story done right. It's not perfect but it's def more enjoyable than many other titles out here.

My opinion is biased of course, but who cares? Enjoy!
