| @nirererin Lol this is pretty much my reaction |
   |
| bro i just saw this. i'm so happy |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Enough couples of other rom-coms have gotten together at this point, while the sad sacks of this series continue to drag things out. |
| Do you think God resides in heaven because he's afraid of what he created down here ? |

| We were going good with the anime announcements in recent time, but guess the need of balancing things out was there after all. |

| @Softhenic03 Kanojo, Okarishimasu - The Great Equalizer. |
|
| Show peaked at season three, but oh well, milk the anime just like the author's been milking the manga. At the very least we'd be one more season closer to that scene. |
 |
| We're going to watch peak scenario |
| I thought they announced season 4 a long time ago because it's quite popular. But damn, it’s hard to get used to the fact that I once watched the first season of this anime, and now they have more than 30-40 episodes. |
 |
| ROMCOM IS SAVED AGAIN |
| So its official that they are adapting the Paradise Arc, which means they are going to adapt a certain chapter that broke the internet. Hopefully that particular chapter gets adapted as a OVA, because it gets very explicit for all the wrong reasons. |
 |
| They took a while to announce it, didn't they? I was expecting the announcement to come earlier but better late than never, ig. It's an okay series in my record and the MC kinda pisses me off at times but man, Mizuhara-san and Sumi-chan are up there among some of the best in the genre, so I mainly watch to see them, lol. |

| what an awful time to still be awake. whatever, mami better actually be in this season |
   |
| Hell yeah! Oops, All Waifus! is back! They can keep making these until the end of time and I'll never complain |
| Many of these comments are laughable, here and on Twitter, Reddit, and even TikTok. “Real peak fiction is back”. “Romcom is saved again.” Lmao what peak? Saved from what? Forget the shit with AI translations and buying out jp studios and publishing companies. Shit like this getting the greenlight for more seasons that easily is what has the industry so fucked. |

| @Ryuseishun >popular series gets another season That's what have always happened in any industry, anime industry is not an exception, they want money and shows that are popular make it. You have your priorities in the opposite way if you think an anime getting a new season is worse than fucking AI translations and things like Kadokawa buying yet another studio to create their monopoly. |
 "Somehow, Rent-a-Girlfriend returned..." Instead of ending the anime on the series' high point, the KanoKari production committee thought it was a good idea to adapt the bloated "Paradise Arc". This was the one arc where things really went downhill for the manga. Oh well, anime onlies will finally get to see that chapter.... Honestly, my biggest concern is how the notorious Chapter 218 will be adapted... if at all. AddaeAkono said: Hopefully that particular chapter gets adapted as a OVA, because it gets very explicit for all the wrong reasons. Agreed. The OVA ought to be uncensored, or else viewers will only get a half baked facsimile of the series' most infamous chapter. |

| So I come back to this out of curiosity and unsurprisingly I get a bunch of triggered replies to my comment on a series that frankly did little to deserve more seasons beyond popularity. The entertainment industry truly is cooked, considering easy green lighting of shows like this and AI translations & company buyouts go hand in hand, ironically enough, but there IS entertainment value in following and witnessing trainwrecks, I guess. |
|
| I mean, if they've animated this much, they may as well keep going. |

| Rent a gf is still going |
Reply to Otakupervert890
@GoldenCash why it wouldn't be? Manga is still going strong past 330 chapters. Sale are there no reason to stop a train rolling regardless what a community in the other side of the world think about it.
| @Otakupervert890 330 Chapters?! Wow, I didn't know rent a gf has that much chapters. Ig it's pretty popular, do you think I should resume watching it? |

| @Ryuseishun You don't know what triggered means if you think people answering you were triggered, and you don't seem to know that entertainment industry has always worked by giving more content to popular/profitable shows. And, again, your priorities are wrong if you think giving a new season to a popular show, whether it is shit or not, is even comparable to actual harmful things like AI translations. |
GoldenCash said: do you think I should resume watching it? Depends with what you liked about the series. Season 3 is where the story unironically peaked. Season 4 will adapt the bloated "Paradise Arc" - the one story arc where the manga really took a nosedive in quality and pacing. |

| @GoldenCash Tbh, I don’t think you should. Popularity equals to profitability as well as convenience in the industry and consequently convenience. |
|
| As someone who’s been reading this weekly since 2018 I can say this season will probably be the last anime season of the show. The Paradise Arc is without a doubt the worst arc so far in the series. The manga since that arc has had absolutely horrible pacing. Paradise Arc has some super frustrating character moments and just a lot of stupidity. The manga recovers a bit after that with Kazuya moving into Chizurus home but it sitll lags bigtime compared to most romcoms. |
