| I would have liked this show more but Riri was such an annoying character that it made it really hard to enjoy when they were on screen. Tsukasa is obvious choice but anime ends with no conclusion, I see manga ended here as well. Netflix suggested a season 2 and I hope so, get some anime original, would drop my view of the show further if it ends with nothing solved like this. 7/10 for what it is, comedy outside of Riri was good but everything else about the show was fluff. |
 |
| Riri should've obliviated crazy girl's mind from the start. Motherflippin' Kate! Why is this one's name Kate? This had a pretty promising start, but it started to fall apart as we approached the end. I definitely was expecting something that actively rejected romance, but time and time again the main character sort of just kept falling into situations without pushing back hardly at all. I really thought they would normalize Anzu's less feminine behaviors moreover rather than pushing her to be "more girly." It almost seems like the premise was just an excuse to do a conventional romance series. So, that's a bit disappointing. Though, there were still some good moments throughout. I just felt like it stumbled along the way and lost some of the potential it showed early on. All that being said, I don't particularly know if I'd bother with another season. I guess it's impossible to know where we stand in the story without checking out the source material. Was everything adapted? Wasn't it? Maybe one day I'll check out the manga. I wanted to rate this higher, but I can't really justify it at this point: 7/10 for me, and that's a bit generous. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| This is totally a great watch, I've been longing for this kind of anime. Hoping for second season real soon |
 |
| LMFAOOOOOO POOR KATE Also I didn’t get why they kept trying to humanize the stalker. And what was that about her being the next subject that Kate was going to. Like it didn’t make any sense it felt so squeezed in. They so briefly mentioned her bullying, but that was all so they should have just kept her as a plot device & not bother to hint at the cause of her actions, that was unnecessary lol I’m pretty sure nobody cares about her…… Anyway that’s probably my only gripe. I really enjoyed Romantic Killer! Anzu especially grew on me so much. I liked the development, I liked that it tried to be more than just a “dumb romcom” & I liked how they portrayed the relationships between people. I actually don’t care who she ends up with, I believe that’s not the point lol |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| one of the quite good enjoyable anime i have watched in a long time. the ending is quite roughly paced but the setups are somewhat neatly paid off. it was pretty well made and coherent. I don't have much hope for a next season but anyways it was nice enough to have another one regardless. I liked anzu's character and how steadfast she is. she is what made most of the anime for me. looking forward to more anime like this one |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
LostSpectre said: The last two episodes dropped my rating down to a 5, the angsty stalker storyline was completely unnecessary for a dumb comedy show. I didn't quite drop my rating that far since I still greatly enjoyed the show overall, but I agree that the stalker arc (which I think is anime-only) was unneccessary. I still hope there's a Season 2 that has the same vibe as the early episodes, as I just want more time with these characters even if we never get a "romantic" ending. |
| I hate how this anime was under my radar with so much stuff going on this season, i just watched because a random trailer on Netflix. And i have to say since Horimiya i don't have so much fun with a new School RomCom series. Really, basically ALL main characters were extremely enjoyable to watch. They have deep and funny. Also they really went all in with the JP VAs. And so much details and observations i can do. First favorite character is definitely Junta, because i am always weak for the Baseball Bro. I loved his twist about him actually be childhood friend that already loved Anzu. Maybe this was not the route for him, because he is cursed by the "childhood friend always lose", but he is precious and I like that Anzu recognize that his love for her is true. Talking about Anzu, I loved her. She is great MC and extremely funny. Love how she try to destroy Riri every time and in the he/she join her Harem. Tsukasa also is precious, and yeah this is basically his route i feel. His sister is beautiful! And i didn't see much people talking about his gay friend putting so much details on Junta, i was like WTF maybe this is a hidden route here XD. I will give a 9/10. Because the sad part is how so short and so much stuff they could explore here and never reach (the manga also end here). The stalker arc got me by surprise, but it makes a lot of sense and love how Riri sacrifice so much for Anzu here. In the end the best thing in this series was their friendship, it felt extremely wholesome. |
| YES put that bitch in jail. I can't believe they made me feel sad for Riri. Well that was an ending that i didn't expect. Anzu and Riri VA really carrying this Anime. It was a really good romcom Anime, dialogue was well written and jokes was hilarious. Especially Anzu Jojo face lol 8/10 When I'm decided to watch this Anime is just because of Anzu VA Rie Takahashi, that's it. Going in with low expectations but it turns out to be really good. I really wish there is more, the characters was awesome, there is so much potential for these characters. Sadly the Manga got axed 😭 |
 |
| First binge watch in like 3 years. Was worth it. Finding something like this is rare nowadays. Didn't care for the stalker part though. Since it's drama and I hate that. |

| I came to this with zero expectations and was pleasantly surprised. It was pretty good, really easy to watch and funny. I would have loved if there was conclusion to the romance, but at the point where it ends, I guess I can only see her ending up with Kazuki. |
my thoughts exactly. |
| 8/10 2nd Season lets go! Obviously it's not confirmed, but at least they left it open. The story was good and the conclusion was nice. The English dub was almost perfect, they cast everyone really well (except maybe the rich kid, I'm pretty sure it's the same voice actor as Chisaki/Overhaul from MHA and I can't get him out of my head). This episode wrapped everything up nicely. I was touched by Riri's concern for Anzu, and the scene where she visits the yandere in hospital was badass. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| I enjoyed this show so much that I finished it in a day and I rarely do that. |
| I went into this anime thinking it wouldn't suit me, but wow the amount of times i laughed and enjoyed it is expectational, this romcom comedy anime was amazing, from the visuals to the plot and everything else. I love how Anzu was just an regular girl loving her games and other things and out of nowhere Riri appeared and her whole world got an full 180, I really really hope we will get an Season 2 because on the end it said "To be Continued...?", all in all it was an nice experience and an heartwarming anime. Oh yeah I'm still rooting for Junta even though the anime ended. :D |
  |
| Tsukasa is such a good boy, gotta protect that smile. It's nice that the stalker gets a chance at becoming a healthy person. |
| So while Riri failed to make Anzu and Kanzaki all lovey-dovey, they succeeded in creating a bond between them stronger than any kind of romantic love could ever offer (although, nevermind, scratch that, Kanzaki loves Anzu now). They also go from rather annoying character, to goated character. Riri actually becomes a great character when they're off screen. DID THEY JUST KILL SOMEONE?? Oh, just erased her memories- but at the risk of getting punished for committing what is a taboo in their world. In fact they committed several apparently, all for the sake of Anzu, whom they ended up truly caring for. Those scenes being replayed but from Kanzaki's view gave me chills, especially the first scene where Anzu accidentally knocks the phone out of his hand as he was read texts from old classmates. It was like Anzu came into his life to literally knock the pain away. It then ends with him returning the hug that Anzu gave him in the last episode. I also like how Junta and Hijiri were not added to make pointless, annoying drama, but instead simply to spice things up a little, neither overstay their welcome (because the focus is mostly between Anzu and Kanzaki of course), and instead just add to the feel-goodness overall. You just feel for Junta with every scene he's in, and of course who doesn't want to have short little rich and entitled tsundere boyfriend over here. Idk about you, but to me they managed to make two boys living alone with one girl not seem that weird. I think it's because that despite all the romantic vibes floating about, the show makes you view these three primarily as friends, all helping each other out. And with that, the wholesome overrules the weird, to the point where imo the weird doesn't even exist at all. Man I'm so glad this didn't turn out as generic as I thought it would be. I watched Texhnolyze, Serial Experiments Lain, and Ergo Proxy before watching this, so it was so nice to watch something fun and easy to watch again. 8/10 There doesn't NEED to be a season 2, I'd freaking love it if one day we got one, but that won't even be possible until the distant future until more manga is written for it to follow. But again, while I'd love for more, I don't feel there is any need for anymore. I don't think Anzu needs to "end up" with anyone. Imo it just has to end with all of them being good friends who have each other's backs.... and that's exactly what we get here. |

| Man it would be funny if Anzu ends up with Saki instead. XD This anime was better than I expected. Anzu and I had a lot of common. Like... I'm almost in my mid 20s now but I've never been in a relationship, and I'm not planning to anytime soon. That's how dire it is for us "romantic killers" cause we prefer being friends than being in a romantic relationship with people we like. Tho my big 3 would be: anime (not video games), K-pop idols (Momohiki), and junk foods (chocolate). Yup. I'm gonna be single for the rest of my life unless a "Riri" appears and let me meet some ikemen. :3 |

| this was a very funny and fun anime to watch anzu was a treat to see go off and Rie did a great job voicing her, the forced stalker arc does bring it down mostly due to it not really fitting this show Science Fell in Love, was another anime that kinda ruined it self even more with it's final serious arc that came out of left field still i'd love to see more but maybe that wont happen |
 |
| Last episode really amazing! Can't wait to see 2nd season :) |

| I can't imagine S2 for this series. I'm fine with the way it ended (although I ship her with Tsukasa) since it's likely that she does not have any romantic feelings for them at all. Hence the title, "Romantic Killer." I think what killed it for me was that the guys noticed Riri and Kate and they seemed to be okay with this whole shenanigan; this should've been omitted IMO. I'm surprised they didn't end up with stomach aches for finding out just because LOL. My other complaint is that I don't think they should've added Hijiri as a potential lover. There wasn't much screentime or (possible) romance focus between Anzu and him for me to really care. I get that they want to spice it up a little bit by adding him to the plot, but I think it would've been better if they focus on just Junta and Tsukasa. If anything, I'd rather Tsuchiya be listed as a potential lover lol. Overall, I'd give this 8/10. It's been fun! |

| Personally I would’ve chose the yandere stalker. Need that type of love and energy in my life. Lmaoo. Cute and fun series. Ending felt pretty rushed tho and it seems like this was the authors first manga so it probably was. Definitely hit different at some points like saki backstory and tsukasa’s as well. Appreciated the more mature moments. Will miss this cast |

| To be continued? in the end, Man this story already end doesnt mean we cant start another story Solid Ending, i pretty much think that Intro was spoil me that Yellow husbando will win at the end, but them battle still on till end of high school story I really want to see Kishi story tbh, if its possible, she is villain indeed, but as the few episode back said, she was bully in office so i cant help to feel sorry toward her, but i totally against her about how aggressive she to yellow husbando, go away yellow husbando dont want you disturb him At the end its solid 8/10, really fun watch this for awhile but yea at least its end of this story |
| Riri being the Secret Route, using their powers against the rules to erase that stalker's memories was perfect. It's crazy how cool that stupid potato was after falling for Anzu and going rogue to "deal" with that stalker and then kissing her goodbye. Anzu finally got her 3 desires back and even managed to save Riri from being punished for the rest of their life for saving her! AND FINALLY, FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE IS IN ON THE WIZARDS BEING THERE MANIPULATING ANZU. Having to keep such a malicious secret like that is just wrong and it was so cathartic that this new case worker just so happened to be sloppy enough that now finally Anzu could be 100% open with at least 2 others on this magic crap she's been having to deal with the whole time. I do like how the ending recontextualized them "confiscating" her 3 desires. Instead of it being an unfair deprivation, it was an opportunity for Anzu to see the great friends she had missed in life because she was so distracted by them. Still an awful thing to do to her but I can see the good that came of it. Too bad they're still gung-ho on her "falling" for someone before graduation or else they get taken away again permanently. Can't she just be allowed to be herself? She attracts "love interests" easily enough now with this new perspective without them threatening her like this. Interesting twist that the stalker is the next test subject.... |
