This is my impression for the anime after watching the first episode:

-The story setting about the mc's revenge to his crush' BF is pretty interesting

-characters: yeah the MC is not the chad kind but I think it's still good for comedy purposes. And for the heroines, I really like their designs and personality.

-the comedy is ok. Like I said before, the MC personality is pretty funny.
The jokes given also not bad.

-my biggest disappointment is on the animation. It's not bad tho, it's just mediocre. The characters, especially the MC looks different from the illustration. I also witnessed some inconsistency on their faces. Yeah I know it's still TV version but it's still somehow disturbing.

My temporary score: 6/10

Idk how in an anime season featuring an adult letting a random 16 year girl live in his place, an adult making repeated advances on a high school girl, and multiple anime sexualizing their female characters, this is the grossest anime airing.

The MC wants to get back at a girl that he “fell in love with” after talking to her a few times, which includes trying to ruin the reputation of her boyfriend that has done nothing to him. All out of this feeling of entitlement that she belonged to him or cheated on him in some way.

What is one good quality about this character that makes his childhood friend fall in love with him and gets him a haram? Actually, what is one good quality about him that lets him make any friends, period?

This anime just steals other characters and aspects from other series and it still sucks. The pacing sucks. It felt like I was watching a second season with how poorly characters and their relationships with each other are established.

The only decent-to-good aspects of this anime are the VA performances, art, and animation.
I’m not mad about the story being criticized but seriously does no one recognize that the mc has the mind of a 13 year old and then the childhood friend literally is using manipulation to get the mc to take revenge you should not be mad at the mc for being spiteful but instead for how gullible he is if anything also I think when a show gives characters rather detestable personality’s but not bad people overall it works

Yet another unoriginal aspect. Even so, there still has to be some quality that attracts them to him.


He's the main character. That's apparently enough of a quality to attract them to him.
I mean the mc is pretty over dramatic and he is very quickly nervous and the childhood friend specifically called him cute and genius child actor not that hard to see why some would either be inspired of fell in love also that is very unrealistic but it is anime so it doesn’t have to be but their 3 things in the first episode and don’t tell me people don’t like over dramatic examples plenty of people like Megumin and if you want a guy example look at Kazuma

Megumin and Kazuma are both comedy characters. Granted, this anime is also a comedy; except it seems this anime's going to take itself a lot more seriously.

Ah, sorry, I guess I sidetracked. But anyway, going back to what you said:
Being a smart child actor and cute, are not enough to create strong romantic feelings; there needs to be more to that; a more strong, interesting personality, chemistry (ie having common interests).

Yeah, I agree; the characters' "love" for each other is basically a one-sided, puberty crush. Which is why I don't understand why the show takes their "love" for each other so serious, to a point where the MC is a revenge seeking incel. In fact, most romances I've seen in anime, are just shallow crushes, that the shows take very seriously.

oof... baby doga kobo what are you doing my bias means i always need to watch your works but this is some low tier Romcom shit that's main selling point was banking off it's title that might still be bait, i was fine with at first being a same old generic romcom we used to get all the time till we starting channeling some incel revenge plot .

for now it's just a romcom so i doubt it will get that awful but it's a weak opening hard carried by the VA's i couldn't stop thinking about Matsuoka getting teased by Inori and Ayane recording this

I always love a good romcom harem, and I liked this one, and it even surprised me with the plot since I went into it blind. As someone that typically gravitates toward the childhood friend-type characters, I really like Kuro and the title of the show makes her promising, Kachi is also nice so I’m excited for the harem antics that’ll come out of this. I like our MC so far and I’m interested in his backstory based on the end of the episode.

That one bit where that random classmate tried to copy Kachi’s notes and Kachi casually ripped them up was kinda goofy lol, probably the one part I didn’t like, but it was alright.

The harem king is back once again. We got Fuutaro, Itsuki and Yotsuba in here lmao. Well, Sueharu is a dumb bitch ain't he lmao. After seeing that photo, I thought that he must be famous before or something to, and behold he was a famous child actor.

First episode in and Kuro is already best girl by a mile, unless Kachi can change that as we go on,but I doubt that. Well this is gonna be a fun and enjoyable harem shenanigans show. Looking forward to the next episode.

Now the students are ready to compete in track races. Please give them a big hand. The race begins. Wow! This is a very good start for him. He is the real deal of the day. He holds a record today. He has completed so many Harem roles such as Fuutarou from 5-toubun no Hanayome, Aki from Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata Kirito from SAO, and many more. Running ahead, full speed, Matsouka Yoshitsugu!

Anyone else catch the can of root beer in the ending song (which might actually be the OP?) I don't think I've seen root beer in anime before, which makes sense, since I understand it is an acquired taste and is generally only popular in English speaking countries.

Definitely curious to know why Kachi-san was crying a little in the library there.



Isn't it because she is bullied? to me it looked like it was bullying - however she stood for herself and didn't let her notes be copied so she ripped them. Yet in library she broke when she was alone after rewriting her ripped notebook again - so she started to cry. Even Kuroha doesn't seem to like her (another act of bullying?) since Kuro makes MC seek revenge on Kachi for nothing - he didn't confess to her after all.

I'm in a weird position here, where I read the manga for this, but ages ago. I remember that I liked it, but basically nothing else. Without that, I probably wouldn't have picked this up, and probably wouldn't continue after Episode 1... but I do remember that I liked it, so here we go I guess.

I do enjoy Kuro's BLATANT THIRST, I'll tell you that right now.

How on earth is a Doga Kobo show one of the ugliest looking productions in a season with Edens Zero, Mazica Party, and random Mobile game adaptations like Seven Knights.

I was distracted several times just by how off-model and bad this looks.

Not to mention how severely they messed up the scaling on Kuro, the blond girl. Sometimes she reaches just under the MCs chest, sometimes just higher and sometimes she doesn't get close. I'd love to learn more about the production because it appears something severely went wrong.

There is nothing terribly wrong with feeling lost, so long as that feeling precedes some plan on your part to actually do something about it. Too often a person grows complacent with their disillusionment, wearing their discomfort like a favorite shirt - Johnny C.

Not gonna lie, I'm really hoping this show takes a turn from where it's going right now (the last 2 minutes of the episode gives me hope). Usually, the MC in these shows are dense and generic all around but are likable to an extent, and the side characters are either very charming or very annoying.

The MC here is different. He may not be dense, but he's absolutely repulsive. I just don't get what his goal is. To get revenge? Why? It makes no sense. What did anyone do to him? He even points it out himself, but that just makes it even worse. He can't even justify his own actions. He's acting on impulse while acknowledging he's acting on impulse. If he acted simply out of anger and never thought through his actions, I guess it would make sense, but the idea that he's acting like an idiot while knowing he's acting like an idiot confuses me. The fact that he's a genius child actor could possibly explain it or make it even worse.

Kuroha is a pretty likable character on the other hand. Her motives make sense, and we all know that if they do get revenge on Shirokusa it's not going to directly help Sueharu (idk how it would). She is by no means a nice person, but you can at least see where she's coming from, and she seems pretty smart. We know what she's trying to get at. She's so clearly orchestrating the whole thing and Sueharu is openly falling for it.

Tbh, if you told me you found every member of the cast dislikable, I would understand. Hopefully, this next episode fixes that.

The premise is flimsy as hell, why would you need to get revenge on someone just because they are dating someone else? The poor animation didn't help and the MC rejecting his hot childhood friend just seems stupid.

The OP was extremely catchy and fun,and what amazed me was the CV's they got for the characters.

There's something I don't like about it but I can't put my finger on it. I don't like the guy, I don't like the friend, and I don't like the black haired girl. It feels bland and not that interesting.

I'll continue for now, but don't know if I'm gonna finish it.

Contrary to popular belief, but I feel like Ayaneru doesn't really fit to be the 'condescending mysterious' character roll.
