| I noticed that this anime has a very high score. I'm thinking about trying it out, but from what I read the title that is airing right now is considered as 2nd season, so I guess I should start from the first season for better experience etc. Can you tell me what's so good about this anime? I generally dislike "highschool romance" animes, so I'm worried I might not like it. I know, you can write "just see it and judge by yourself, lol", but I want to ask fans of this anime first. Using that method of communication led me to watch several good titles about which I was skeptical at first. :) |
| The answer is really just simply its really funny and has a pretty unique style of humor, the reason the manga is so beloved is cause of alot of stuff the anime wont get into till this season but the series overall has some of the best character development in a series and has a really heartwarming overarching theme of seeing people with absolutely horrendous lives overcoming the traumas plaguing them and the negative character flaws that those traumas gave them. It adds a pretty massive boost to the series past just being funny. You genuinely get attached to these characters and their relationships overtime and it thankfully understands that not every development needs to revolve around romance to progress some of these relationships though alot of that is still to come for the anime |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Well, first of all it's a refreshing romcom, since it's not a romance with a harem and some gags nor its a comedy with (basically) no romantic progress. We have legitimate and lasting romantic progress while laughing at their antics, season 2 episode 2 illustrates this perfectly. This brings us to the second point, great cast, all members of the cast have a deep character with room to growth and they all grow, they all are still developing in the manga, actions have consequences, they learn from the past and they strive to be better. The third is realism, while yes, somethings are over the top, and yes who the hell would try to make someone else confess before this? But this series has a lot of relatable moments and believable scenarios It pushes your empathy button, basically. ... If I keep going I may never stop so, fourth and last, about the anime especificaly, the voice acting, sound direction, animation and editing are God-tier, like, seriously, it's been years since I was so surprised by the sheer quality of an anime, maybe since One Punch Man? Houseki no Kuni?.... Anyway outside action series and movies, the production of Kaguya-sama is probably the best one out there. I may have been too concise in fear of being too prolix, but others will fill in the gaps. |
| Comedy is a pretty big crap shoot in all honesty. I feel like Chika did a lot to bolster the popularity in season 1. If it's faithful to its source, that could explain why people respect it. Personally, I find the humor to be ok, and with comedy centric series, your reception to the humor will make or break it for you. I guess it's just struck the fancy of a lot of people's taste. |
What a beautiful Duwang |
| It's pretty funny when it needs to be and the characters are endearing |
 |
| Although I didn't watch the second season yet, I did watch the first, and I'm up to date with the manga. Here are the main reasons why I think its amazing: Great and refreshing comedy. It isn't the type of comedy you would generally see in other shows. Also, the jokes are hilarious and don't get old. Character development. This anime/manga has some of the best character development. To avoid spoilers, I'll just leave it at that, but trust me when I say that there is a lot of character development. Especially in the manga recently. A romance that has development. Again, to avoid spoilers, I'll leave it at that. Finally, it's amazing. Nothing else to say. |
| The romance stuff is alright, But the comedy does it for me. |
| Cause it's kinda unique. Two people trying to make each other fall in love with each other but that's the whole plot. And the cute characters |
| i think a lot of it's popularity is due to the comedic aspect being more prominent than the typical highschool rom-com which makes it OK for dudes worried about their manly reputation being tarnished for liking sappy emotional stuff |
 |
| It's basically Tsundere L and Light trying to get the other to confess in the most over the top mind games imaginable. The main draw is the comedy not necessarily the romance at first granted that starts to get better. The main reason though is the comedic situations and how the characters interact with each other. Depends on how much you find over exaggerated melodramatic situations funny. There is a bit of dry humour as well. The problem with comedy that is very hit or miss so you either are going to like it or hate it/find it boring. Personally I think this is one of the better comedy series I have seen in anime but to others it isn't that funny. For instance I have encountered those that love Daily Life of HS Boys which people praise the comedy but I mostly found dull outside of a few jokes. So it's really going to be about how much you enjoy the personality of the characters and the humour. The romance isn't the biggest draw though you kinda get more into it over time. Honestly it's not until the last episode of S1 where you actually see it play to any common elements of a HS romance anime so even if you don't like shows like that I still would give it a look. If you want to know a drop point where I would recommend watching up to it would be around when Yu Ishigami gets introduced. I would argue that is when the series started getting really good but that may be because I just really love his character the most. |

| Watch it , the character lived the series so much , the comedy is gold , even if this a regular SoL anime it always give you curiosity on what will happened in next episode |

| A lot was already said, so I keep it simple and brief - the premise and how it's executed is such a breath of fresh air - likeable characters and amusing dynamics - great production, you can really feel the passion and joy Bonus works extremely well as weekly watch |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I don't know really, to me the premise felt incredibly forced, unnatural, only for the sake of "feeling fresh, look how different I am", which in the end only derived into heavily backfiring. The characters also were annoying af, especially that airhead doll. I really couldn't watch this, dropped it early on. |
Muchmoneys said: It's one thing to dislike a show, but I don't get people who go to a season 2 forum and announce how they dropped the show ages ago like it's some badge of honor. The topic showed up in the Anime Series Discussion panel in the forum homepage, and I felt inclined to share my opinion as a regular user of the forums. Nothing more, nothing less, if you interpret things other way that's your business. |
| Comedy is a pretty big thing in this era, look at how Gintama and KonoSuba are so loved by people, its practically the same with Kaguya. |
  |
| It's funny, the romance is good, the characters are good, and the production is good |
 |
| No idea. I sometimes skipped a lot of scenes in the first season due to poor comedy. Yes I get it, they're trying to do stupid shits to make the other admit that he/she loves her/him, but that's plain stupid. Anyway maybe I kinda liked it better toward the end when they were both more honest with their feelings |
| I love the manga because it does whatever it sets out to do perfectly, and defies the standards of normal romcom with amazing character development and an overarching plot that every chapter gives more meaning and substance towards. It mixes comedy and drama well. I love the anime because it's a perfect adaptation of the manga. Season 1 isn't shit compare to what's to come and it's still great for what it is. Only gets better. |

 |
| I still don't know after the first season and episodes 1 of second season, but I'll continue watching it |
    |
| it is pretty ok, the humor and comedy is pretty weird sometimes, it deserve 8 at max |

| Big thanks to all people who responded to my post! Alright, I'm gonna check out Season 1 then. It sounds quite refreshing and from what you wrote it is actually very entertaining. I can't tell if I will like it or not (obviously, I haven't started it yet, lol), but I think this title deserves to be at least checked out by me and I have a feeling I might enjoy it. Thanks again. :) |
| I dropped the first season but after reading some of these comments I've decided to give it a second try. |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| I used to be a big fan of this but it just got very stale, repetitive and the characters went backwards for me in terms of quality, which is a shame. But when it came to my initial appeal, it's just the characters back early on were likable and had charm. Simple but efficient. Sadly after consuming it for a long time, I just got mentally exhausted with how repetitive it became and even the bigger parts lost impact for me. |
| I'm gonna be honest here when I say I recommend the anime more than the manga, cause the latter does feel VERY stretchy and dragged (literally nearing 200 chapters right now). The adaptation cutting out certain parts of the source material actually helps here, imo, though I know a few people here on this thread who are adamant about their critical views on both, regardless. |
 |
| @LoganMcClure21 But like I said, I just realized how big it is in Japan and now internationally, didn't know back then when I watched S1 weekly when it was airing @asukka I updated my #5 point, was incomplete |
 |
| It doesn't have endless amounts of waifubait orbitting around Shirogane to hook people into talking solely about which girl he's gonna end up with and establishes both main characters fancy each other from the very beginning so it hooks you with entertaining scenarios and character dynamics instead. You not finding said dynamics entertaining is fine but is also entirely a you-thing. |
| I wholeheartedly disagree with everything you've said. It seems you were not paying much attention or you just don't wanna see the progression of the story Also, thanks for the fucker who gave spoilers in this thread without tagging it properly Nonetheless, I think comedy is the most subjective thing ever, so it's fine you don't find it funny |
|
| @DamnThatsTheSpot Bro wym? The scenarios are the same, just repeating 1.either kaguya or shirogane will have a plan 2.the plan either will work or didn't 3.Narrator will say who win, sometimes both win sometimes both lose 4.rinse and repeat One dimensional, they still won't know they're in love with each other, both still won't confess |
|
| It's amazing how wrong you are. |
 |
| Patience young padawan. If ya expect the romance to progress within 12+ episodes in a 180+ chapter manga then I'm afraid I got some bad news. How's that gonna work? By rushing through the plot, the pay off wouldn't be as satisfying. Btw the repetitive premise is only prominent for the early parts of the manga. The focus shifts more to drama in the middle. If you compare the first 10 chapters to the current ones, the difference is night & day. The mind games & jokes are there to set up the aforementioned dramatic arcs. It's there to get us to know these characters more & grow attachment to them when shit hits the fan. I suggest you give this season a chance until it ends then make up your mind. If you don't like 'em it's fine. You don't need to force yourself to watch everything. It ain't a competition |
