Synopsis

Anzu Hoshino needs only three things in her life: video games, chocolate, and her beloved cat. Unlike other high school girls, Anzu has no time for or interest in romance. But as she begins playing a poorly programmed 3D otome game, a bizarre flying wizard named Riri emerges from the screen and calls Anzu "subject one," the first person who will experience a dating game harem storyline in real life.

Despite Anzu's fiery protests, Riri confiscates her favorite things to force her to focus on love. Riri orchestrates a series of unlucky incidents and romantic cliches that lead her to meet Tsukasa Kazuki, one of the most attractive boys in her school. Still enraged, Anzu is adamant about resisting Tsukasa's charm. As all the ridiculous fabricated scenarios help Anzu warm up to Tsukasa's pleasant nature, Riri throws other stereotypical pretty boys her way—and avoiding romance quickly becomes almost impossible.

This was such a fun show to watch. The story follows a girl who happily spends her days playing video games, eating chocolate, and hanging out with her cat—until one day, she becomes the subject of a magical game designed to help her find love.

Romantic Killer is a show about poking fun at common anime tropes, and is honestly entertaining to watch each attempt at a romance be crushed by the main character. Its an interesting take on the genre and it definitely works in accomplishing what it sets out to do. To avoid spoilers, I wont go into detail but this series genuinely dropped the ball at the very last moment. This moment was a scene that was anime-only (as far as I know) and I seriously cannot figure out why they would do it. This scene alone drops this series from like an 8 to a 5 ...

This is the difference between satire and parody. After I announced my frustration with the rom com genre where I finally got fed up with its bullshit in Couple of Cuckoos, I saw the synopsis of this show about a girl absolutely refusing to be part of that bullshit. It was a parody of the genre and I was all for it. There were some really funny jokes in this show shitting on the tropes and cliches. Rom coms are almost always driven by coincidence and contrivances and so this show takes it to the max with literal magic manipulating the events to cause, what ...
