| This anime somewhat delvs into human and robot relations from the simplest form. It gives us a glimpse of how an interaction could form under some circumstances without a world threatening crisis or super powered top secret weaponry. Just a guy and his 2nd hand appliance learning to grow and navigate through life as a normal couple. I'm disappointed in alot of people here not giving this series a chance. |

| It's nowhere near as bad as the ratings would have you believe, hits a little too close to home, I'm guessing. |

| What else is new? Transgressive romance series typically receive this treatment by essentially discriminatory-type folks who don't view any other form of romance or relations between two organisms or entities out of certain established majority forms as legitimate or worthy of being depicted or showcased, even in a work of art and fiction, and in many cases are actively against such depictions as they view them as advancing legitimization of relationships and ways of life, forms of love, expression, etc. which they maintain are wholly illegitimate and fervently wish to see remaining actively proscribed, stigmatized, persecuted, and eradicated. This applies to age gap romance series, this applies to incestuous romance series, this applies to interspecies romance series (like a human-android pairing, as in the case of Boku no Tsuma wa Kanjou ga Nai), any combination of those, or any other variation or deviation you can imagine from normative, NT majority relations. Those with this mentality consider it somehow a threat for others to have a form of relationship - sexual, romantic, familial and platonic, or any other - that they do not have themselves or desire for themselves, and that extends even to its portrayal in art if it's not portrayed in a manner which encourages its demonization. I find this mentality beyond contempt and there aren't strong enough words in the English language to sufficiently convey my rejection of and opposition to it, but this is definitely a thing as these people exist in spades and have influence. As far as the specific rating goes of sitting around 6-something, I don't have an actual problem with it in the abstract or in a vacuum, as I don't consider 6 even a "bad" rating. I rate the sizable majority of series I watch 7s and 6s out of 10s and most 6s are series I like decently well enough, but have some problems or remain lacking/having limitations in some way. But relative to the way the collective MAL userbase rates anime generally, compared to everything else on the website, it is a "bad" rating in that sense. Which, again, only in that sense, is unjustified and unfortunate. Even apart from what I said above though about the particular stigma, reflexive aversion, and built-in prejudice toward series like these and other transgressive romances by large numbers of people, I've noticed as well that a lot of new seasonals coming out, regardless of premise and subject matter, genres, etc., also have ratings hovering above or below the mid-6s if they aren't big name super popular mainstream titles. It's also the case for other series I'm watching: Tensui no Sakuna-hime currently has a 6.63. Ramen Akaneko currently has a 6.44. Kono Sekai wa Fukanzen Sugiru currently has a 6.59. Na Nare Hana Nare currently has a 6.79. Dungeon no Naka no Hito currently has a 6.76. Etc. Again, I'm not saying that these are in and of themselves "bad" ratings. In some ways they are technically even higher than the individual rating I might give most of those series or similar series after I watched them through to completion (not Boku no Tsuma wa Kanjou ga Nai though, which will almost certainly receive a higher one from me since this subgenre of stories is my personal favorite). But just bad relative to how much of MAL rates low effort and unimaginative, copy-paste generic schlocky isekai, a lot of battle shounen, and the like. Which is also shocking, but somehow also not. |

| Just like people tend to not care about male mental health and loneliness in real life. It's actually a cute and wholesome show. |
 |
| A lot of people are saying a bunch of ridiculous things, but it only makes them look bad. I have really enjoyed this show and their interactions are cute. So far it has been written well. I will continue watching this show. [rant] I really dislike that MAL allows people to rate the entire anime only after 1 episode, it is unfair, that’s why I say it ruins the average rating people see. I get rating each episode separately, but I think they should change it to, if you watched all the episodes, then you can rate the anime as a whole. It is a radical change, but at this point, the average rating is unhelpful. [/rant] |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| Quite underrated. 2nd best romance anime of the season after Gimai Seikatsu + funniest anime of the year alongside Isekai Shikkaku. |
 |
| I'd rather see it from this point of view instead of this series to be honest. Does It Count If You Lose Your Virginity to an Android? She does not have any emotions which honestly creeps me out in this robot anime. Kind of bland, compared to the one I just mentioned. Cultured series. |

| @Azuchi I think you and @shash_sama18 are both wrong about her not having emotions, it's clear she's written as experiencing love, even if she doesn't fully understand it. I don't see a logical explanation for why a "cooking appliance" would have that level of sophisticated programming, so there's certainly an argument for sentience here. |

If there is any kind of development in her emotions then it might be a bit convincing (there will definitely be, we are only 2 episodes in so far after all)
Otherwise I would stand on my point, it's really sad that the mc couldn't get a woman IRL so he chose to "hit" with his cooking robot (don't forget that he was just taking a chance and didn't actually have romantic feelings towards her as shown in ep 1)
The set up was rushed and unconvincing, I would say lazy writing. The whole selling point of this show is Robot Waifu - Mina. This show would be a total failure if she doesn't show any observable growth in this series.
| @shash_sama18 Yeah, whether she's sentient or not, there's really no getting around how sad/pathetic the MC is. lol |

TsukiAkari8620 said: Chobits exists and is better... I mean, whether it is or whether it isn't is kind of neither here nor there. Chobits is a series which came out 22 years ago. We get 50 trillion isekai a season, battle shounen running for 20+ years, and every variation of the middle school and high school romcom you can imagine. Hollywood remakes and regurgitates the same ideas and properties constantly without end and everyone else and their mother follows them, with recently even anime starting to remake older series. I think that enough time has passed in-between and there is enough of a general lack of works featuring and addressing this topic that more can/should be made and appreciated on their own merits and for what they are. It's not like they're competing series airing in the same season or the market is somehow oversaturated with this concept... |
| thank you for making this post As each episode goes by I feel more and more this anime should be rated higher, there are some genuinely sweet and funny moments, and the story does actually do some work in building to little pay offs like when Mina said she was glad she wasn't the better model because it meant meeting Takuma. Show currently sits at 6.5 on MAL and 4.3 on CR.... I enjoy the show a lot so my subjective ratings would be high, but if I am being objective I think 7.5 MAL / 4.7 CR would be an acceptable position for this show, and of course an increased viewership. |

| It will be pretty wholeshome through all the season, the problem is it picked a horrible season to air and ATRI is going to destroy it in every way possible. |

| @MomoSinX I certainly would expect ATRI to be more of a hit / higher rated / bigger trend etc of summer but for me they are 2 very different shows and my hope is they will both find their own valued position in the season. We always have loads of Isekai coming out and lots of those can be popular in the same season, so 2 x robot should be ok. Hopefully ATRI and My Wife Has No Emotion can both find their success without one being detrimental to the other. |

| @YordaTrico Fair point, I just think the "battle" here is very niche, while there are always like 5 Isekai each season, so people just got used to that and instantly filter bad ones. At least both here are doing their own thing with their own setting so it's not just blatant copy paste. |
| Already saw stories like that, such as Time of Eve and Hal, they didn't interest me much. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| I shame indeed. Having just watched episode 3 I am growing to really love what they are doing with the characters. There are some interesting plot devices being planted too and so I believe its turning out to be more than just a wholesome comedy. Definitely a 7.5+ show for me. |
| This was in my plan to watch list and I finally had the chance to watch 2 episodes and it's great so far. It's not as eye catching as other series but it's wholesome but not overly wholesome which is what makes this so good. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| Ive noticed people have been less welcoming with anime lately, a lot of new shows that at least have good animation dont deserve to be ranked so low. I've stopped really caring about rating for modern anime after seeing Yugioh sevens rating |
| The problem with the show, isn't that it's good or bad. If anything, the current rating for me, is a perfect rep of the show's standard. As it's neither good or bad, but more it's one of those shows, that while can be enjoyable, but isn't the sort you'd jump to watch, or in a sense, super recommend it to others. So it's no wonder it'll get dismissed by people, some for silly reasons more likely, but others more likely don't have much of an attention span, and want something more 'active' in sense in character reaction, and atmosphere. |

| @LostSpectre Mm, honestly he creeps me out more than the robot wife. From comedic point of view, I liked his little sister though in episode 3. Looking forward more of her and possible other better characters. |

| Wait I thought people were overreacting, but what is that score lmao it hasn't been that bad so far. I'm a bit on the fence personally. I didn't like the first episode that much, mostly because of the MC but I liked it enough to keep going. Second episode, I thought it was cute but still not too sure how to feel about it. Then again a 6 is like okay (at least according to MAL), so idk. That's kind of how I feel about it so far, it's okay. I decided to give it a 7 for now, but depending on how it goes further ahead it may drop to a 6 @xZabuzax To be fair it's really not that bad so far. It's okay imo but I'm surprised the score is that low. Plus I've learned to not trust scores on here like at all and instead just give stuff a fair chance first. They've steered me wrong plenty of times |

| @YordaTrico Is a rating of 4.3 really that bad on CR? I'm pretty sure I've watched shows with a rating lower than that and still got some enjoyment out of them, sometimes more so than shows that are rated higher. I've learned to just ignore ratings at this point. I find them unreliable a lot of the time. That being said though, I do think the rating is a bit harsh here on MAL. I thought people were overreacting when they said the score is too low, but I was surprised when I saw it was a 6.4. But hey, it's not like there's any changing it. It seems the majority hate this show, even if it does seem harsh. One reviewer here on MAL for example gave the show a 1, which feels like a bit much, but oh well. To each their own I guess. This show is stuck below 7, and if people keep using that rating to decide whether or not to watch it, they probably won't |

| @Alkimia Yeh maybe I was being a little hyperbolic suggesting that 4.3 on CR is a garbage rating, but it still does seem a bit low for this show vs some other ones I saw rated higher. I went and looked at that 1 review and honestly that just seems like review bombing to me, I know that term gets thrown around but I just can't see how this show is a 1 in any thread of reality. I looked at the reviewers MAL and they don't seem to have a very high opinion of robot stories in general, they talk as if they are just a gimmick which is a very subjective stance, I personally love robot stories. When I started watching anime there were certain genres I knew I would never watch like ecchi....but I don't plan to watch ecchi shows then rate them 1/10 complaining that they turned out to be exactly what I expected....I just won't watch them and in turn I won't be reviewing them. And you are right - so many people won't bother with this show now after seeing the rating which is a real shame. Part of me wants to go and leave a 10/10 review to counter that 1, but I don't want to stoop to the same levels, I want to hold off on my rating until I have seen the whole anime. In the meantime I will keep recommending this show on reddit rec subs if the opportunity arises. |
|
| Absolutely agree. Better than Chobits for me and I don't care other people's philosophy about how wrong a relationship between a machine and it's owner. Guys, it's a comedy, okay? You know, where every scene is based on humor. It's the same as when the heroin is a dragon, a vampire, a thousand-year-old god, or what ever... Anyway the show is funny and Mina is cute, so I'm happy to continue it. |
 |
| I thought the same about the manga until it became shit. |

| I don't mind human-robot relationships but I do have a problem with this one. Takuma is literally TEACHING Mina to be his wife, sure she's developing feelings for him in the process but that's not enough for me to find it cute. That being said, who gives a damn about ratings? A niche anime getting a lukewarm reception is to be expected. Stop seeking validation from strangers for your tastes in anime... |
