Such a trash Ending to a Bad Show Even What will happen in the Ova is so Obvious that the fact that They are going to make it an ova ınstead of making this series an 13 episode anime and end it in a single go is just so funny, This is not a spoiler cause I didn t read the novel but Let me tell you What is going to happen since İt is beyond obvious and Anyone can see it ''Since Now Hose has 3 votes, Joro will make Cherry and Tsukimi vote for him and İt will be 3 votes with pansy then Sun chan will win the game and VİCTORY for Joro'' We have to wait for Such an obvious ending |

This was insultingly awful. It was a massive train wreck with tracks going off in every direction. At every turn the series became what it originally mocked. Character personalities made 180s for no reason. Every character is scum, so if that is the point why should I care about this abomination of a cliffhanger? |

Really not sure what is going on, a really contrived plot, a load of inconsistencies, Pansy's friends being prepared to sell her down the river, Pansy becoming hopeless, Sun Chan being involved in some intricate plot. Asunaro maybe, but I'm surprised the other two love Joro to the extent that they would cut him off from Pansy forever. Too many characters who are now doing too many weird things and doing 180 degree turns for no apparent reason. At this point, Sasanqua and Tsubaki are the only ones who can be trusted. Of course, there will be some plot twist at some point but i can't help feeling that what started out in really promising fashion has now overcomplicated things somewhat and is having trouble keeping up with itself. And i understand that it is comedy, but why are they holding an auction for their friend? |

Too many characters. Too much plot trickery. Pansy and Joro are enough honestly. Wish they had their own show with bench-kun. |

I had my laughs for sure over the course of this anime, but this episode sure was by far the worst in my opinion. There was something missing that didn't felt right. Oh well, atleast we're getting apparantly already an OVA. Hopefully that clear some things up. In overal pretty ok in a positieve way compaired with most modern rom com anime. Not saying it's the best, but it isn't the worst iether. Pansy is by far the best charather in this anime followed by of course Bench-kun. |

feel like instead of ranting about the amount of dumpster fire this trash ended up being because there's a lot however it's already been said. I'll just say Tsubaki > everyone else in this show because they weren't scheming pieces of shits maybe Sasanqua even if she was a basic af tsundere even if OreSuki had some cute girls and entertaining but very silly moments the amount of characters it had that all kinda just sucked took away most of my joy and the fact it tries to act smarter than it is when it in it's self is just another harem. 6/10 fuck Joro and Pansy and 80% of the cast at that matter god damn lol |

Joro is honestly the worst protagonist I've seen in anime, which is really saying something: at least the bland harem MC archetype is consistent. Joro's personality is so inconsistent, that I have 0 clue what it is: is he a nice guy posing as an asshole whenever it's convenient? Is he an asshole posing as a nice guy when it's convenient? He constantly switches between the two whenever it's convenient for the plot. Kazuma from Konosuba is an asshole because he refuses to put up with peoples' shit, and he's a pervert, but he has a basic sense of moral like any normal person. Hachiman from Oregairu is a good guy, who ACTS like an asshole to act as a social scapegoat to help people, but he never has any assholish tendencies. Joro's personality switches is like Jekyll and Hyde. One side is nice and sweet while the Hyde side is the dark side to Joro. |

Unfortunately, this series was always at the top of my "Okay, I'll get this out of the way and then watch the good series" list, and it never really left that spot. It didn't know what it wanted to be, and ended up being what it originally made fun of. I typically like a good romcom, even a harem when done well (like "We Never Learn"), but when you start out saying you won't be like "those OTHER shows", you need to be consistent and not just try to get by with running gags and 4th wall jokes... though Bench-kun made me laugh every time I saw it, so points for creativity. 6/10 - I pray I never have friends as cryptic as these people. I also hope that Pansy finds her spine. I know she had one at the beginning of the series when she was stalking and blackmailing the guy she likes, so I'm not sure why she can't muster of the courage to say "I appreciate how you helped me out before, but I only want to be friends." |

Liked all the Pansy reactions and the final but non-final episode thing... ( >OVA ) But the real thing here was... that at least 10 of the 12 episodes were too predictable and ez to read... And that reduces the emotions, impact, surprises and makes it just "mñeh"... Thats why for me this series is just a 6 of 10. (6.43 exact score). |

I loved when Joro spoke English (his VA did an amazing job btw), I loved his mean expressions, I loved when Cosmos slipped into her formal samurai role, loved it when Joro rode off into the sunset with Sun-chan, loved the 4th wall breaks and the baseball match singularity, and last but not the least, loved Bench-kun. I didn't watch the show for the plot, which was horrendous, or the characters (stupid), but for the absurdity.Honestly speaking, I don't understand why people still like this anime after the first few episodes. While I think some popular anime like Re: Zero and Attack On Titan season 1 are bad, they have a lot of appeal: unique and interesting set ups with lots of tension, gore, and big hyper dramatic scenes. Oresuki, I honestly don't know what this anime does, that any other anime hasn't done. I don't even understand how it's "good cliche" like My Hero Academia. |

Well, it wasn't the worst thing i got for Christmas but it was definitely a let down. Not just the episode but the entire series. It started out good but after a while it started to get tiring and the story started shooting around like it was in a pinball machine. I finished the series just because i did enjoy some of the jokes and i wanted to at least see some conclusion to the brain fuck they just did to me just to get told to wait 6 months. Was one of my favorites at the beginning of the season but quickly dropped to about 6 or 7 by the end. |

For those who don't to watch the OVA shit I this is a more detailed summary of Volume 4 with Volume 5 in the event they really crammed Volume 5 into one last episode finale. Spoilers down below, this Series is too complicated to make a tl;dr sentence. Volume 4 Brief Summary Our protagonist Joro is contacted by a junior called Kamata Kimie, nicknamed "Tanpopo",the manager of the baseball team. Her intention is to help Panji find a boyfriend and ask Joro for help to get Panji to be with his Best Friend. An extremely vain girl who is found supporting Sun-chan because she is firmly convinced that if sun-chan has a romantic relationship with panji, Her club will be highly benefited due to Sun’s Morale Boost (How the hell did she know Sun’s feelings towards Pansy?). Since, according to her, when Sun's feelings comes true, his pitching skills will improve dramatically. Panji usually has a fairly sharp tongue towards Joro but always usually acts in his favor. Joro decides not to complicate things and agrees to cooperate with Tanpopo. Asunaro of the journalism club decides to help as well. Then, Joro decides to approach Panji as an intermediary. During lunch, Joro heads to the library and discuss with the group with a plan to increase the number of visitors and preserve the library. That's when Hasuki Yasuo also known as "Hosu" appears. He is a member of the library committee of the Doshobu academy that is sent to the Joro’s academy in order to help increase the flow of library users. Hosu seems to be a stubborn and innocent boy, although quite attractive. At first Panji is genuinely kind to him, but later realized who he is and proceeds to treat him coldly (The Demon!), clearly doesn't like him very much. Hosu’s first proposal to boost the library’s popularity is to create brochures to promote the library. Therefore, Hosu asks for help from his childhood friend Kusami Runa also known as "Tsukimi" and also the president of the student council of his academy Sakurabara Momo known as "Cherry ", to help with the design and production of the pamphlets. Both Tsukimi and Cherry are romantically attracted to Hosu and both used to be rivals throughout high school, but their feelings never reached it. Everything happens normally then Tanpopo contacts Joro by phone. Her intention is to approach Panji remotely through him. Of course he is too suspicious and the plan does not work properly. He presses on the matter and ask Tanpopo what her true intentions are. She says her true goal is to help Panji find a boyfriend and that supporting Sun-Chan of baseball club is just something collateral. Joro is discovered by panji with the photos of tanpopo. Then it is discovered that panji and tanpopo attended the same high school and already knew each other. (This makes me feel like Tanpopo was aware of Hosu’s intent and is helping him.) On Monday he received an email from Tampopo to apologize and she decides to approach Panji herself. The girls meet with Joro and Sun-chan in the library for lunch with the food they learned to prepare with tsubaki. Cosmos is sad that the library receives few visitors since was informed that if the library does not receive enough visitors it will be closed and replaced by a computer center. Joro tries to think of a plan to increase the number of visitors and felt that they never managed to achieve it. Cherry and Tsukimi invite Joro to a cafeteria and ask for help so that Panji and hose become a couple without thinking about panji's feelings. Joro, Cosmos, and Himawari refuse to help in that. Joro invites Panji to his house and asks about Hosu. Panji says that before she didn't use braids or glasses, she used to be really popular in high school. Both boys and girls were always behind her and could not even read a book in peace. But among them there was one who was kind but seemed to have hidden motives. He was also very stubborn, annoying and doesn’t understand someone else’s feelings. She didn't like to see people hide their intentions and that was why she always spoke what she thought. The plans to revitalize the library end up being successful and the number of users increases dramatically. Because the pamphlets that were presented in the newspaper, showed that pure beautiful girls attended the library. At the beginning of the final exams begin to arise problems that cosmos had already anticipated. It is revealed that in the journalism department, Tanpopo had favored Hosu. Hosu liked panji and Tanpopo was trying to put them together. Joro finally confesses to Panji that he doesn't like to see her near hose, but she reacts coldly. She simply tells him that he’s dating Sun-Chan and then starts treating him coldly so he stops coming to the library. Sun-chan reveals that he has already forgiven himself in order to be with panji and tells Joro that he doesn’t need him anymore. Sun-chan's Baseball team was able to compete in the upcoming match and Pansy keeps her promise, both of them go to the library. Sun, happy that Pansy is dating him, noticed that she is not happy with the turn of events and is concerned. Joro, depressed for no longer being necessary by panji and unconvinced by the lies of sun-chan, he proceeded to confront Sun to confirm this promise. He calls him out on it and tells Joro what he noticed, voiding the date and hinting him that "this is the best I can do" then walks off. Joro receives a message from Tsubaki. She tells him what’s actually going on in the library, telling him they only did it to keep Hosu away from pansy but failed and stating “He is the only one who can “save” Pansy from Hosu” and goes to see Pansy. (Tsubaki helping out her Savior ftw) Joro meets with Sun before approaching the library. Sun asks Joro if he will be attending the Baseball match, he says he will be there but he will not be showing support during the game as he has a bet to deal with. This is something Sun understood and and joro proceeds to the library Pansy sends Joro an SOS message because Hosu is about to confess to her, completely disregarding that Sun and pansy were dating. Joro, without hesitation, confronts Hose and challenges him to a bet; popularity contest, agreeing that the loser will never speak or to come near panji again. Joro is “betrayed” by Himawari, cosmos, and asunaro and they vote for hosu, yet he remains a great disadvantage to be able to save Panji. Volume 5 Brief Summary As the bet has been decided as a popularity contest using Hairclips as the Tallies, the 3 Rules has been made by Hosu, which is sets Joro to lose. Realizing the situation beforehand he attempts to use the Baseball Tournament that Sun is participating in to collect the Hairclips. Although Joro tried to get a head start by trying to convince Cherry and Tsukimi to hand over their hair clips, but failed in an unspectacular fashion. During the Match, Joro stumbles upon Sazanka and she admits that she’d rather see Hosu with Pansy. Luckily Himawari startled Sazanka from behind, giving Joro time to escape from both girls. Then Joro encounters Hosu, where he informed Joro about the change of rules: if Hosu does win, Pansy’s friends can never go near her again. Which struck a nerve with Joro and makes this a personal goal. His resolve led Hosu to realize what Pansy’s relationship is with joro, and that he’s the same as him. After the turn of events, he meets with Pansy and informs her of the Changes Hosu made. After hearing this, Pansy’s normal calm gets compromised and has a nervous breakdown. (Hence the art of Pansy looking pretty shaken to being scared) After the Match, Cosmos, Himawari, Asunaro, and Sazanka meet with Tsukimi and Cherry to Support Hosu by giving them their Hair Clips. Joro’s received his points from the people he helped in during the Baseball match. Unfortunately Hosu’s votes was above Joro’s and rose even higher by using his influence in his own School, Racking a total of 98 Points to Hosu. Before the bet has even decided, Hosu pre-emptively approaches Pansy to confess to her, thinking he has won the bet. Unfortunately for Hosu he gets shut down by Joro, as if he had just sprung a trap card from under Hosu, he reveals that Sun, using his own influence after the baseball game, received Votes from the girls hairpins on Joro’s behalf and increased Joro’s points to 98. As a tiebreaker, the only person who hasn’t put in a vote yet was Pansy, to Hosu’s disbelief. Out of desperation, he attempts to confess to Pansy one last time, only to receive a line from Pansy: “I hate you. You’re not Joro, I love Joro.” Joro wins the Bet, however declines to date Pansy due to circumstances that led up to the Bet. He instead announced in public his desire to have a Harem as he has received so many confessions to him before the bet even started. Naturally the Girls do not like this and proceeded to beat him up and called him a wierdo. (See the JoJo Meme “Abbachio kicking with group”) This doesn’t deter him as he went to buy skewers and meet up with Sun, the Best friend he could ever have, and sheds a tear as he was happy for the baseball match. |

I am still not sure what this series was going for, and this episode sums up my thoughts. On one hand, it appears to be a parody of the harem genre, while on the other, it is a drama and the type of generic harem that it itself is trying to parody. This could work, but both parts usually clash, and the different aspects are done forcefully. The parody elements come off like they are trying too hard, and the drama/harem aspects feel forced rather than organic among the characters. It wasn't very original either in its parody aside from Pansy's perspective of Hose from episode 11. Everything else parody-wise has been done before in more consistent anime. Regarding the clashing genres, the worst part of the episode for me is the scene where the three girls announce their status as love rivals and support Hose getting with Pansy. Now, it isn't so much that they want those two together, rather they want Joro for themselves, however, they clearly know how Pansy reacts to Hose and how traumatic it is. The fact that she had to change appearances in order to avoid him highlights the depths of her trauma. These girls, who are supposed to be friends(?), act in a way that, while they admit is entirely selfish, is in complete disregard of Pansy's trauma. Overall, the anime's best comedy was in the first few episodes, and its best drama/commentary on the genre was from episode 11. This show is much like its protagonist: two-faced, often trying way too hard to make the desired impression, and at its best and most comfortable when its just having fun with its characters; letting them be themselves rather than act out a preconceived trope. 6/10 |

At first I though this was just a dumb show with a promising premise that unfortunetely failed the landing but was still kinda charming. But after reading some of the comments both negative and positive ones, I think I might've to check again. Though my biggest problem with it still stands in how in the last eps it treated the girl who in the earlier arc single handedly solved every problems and that I was gunning for one of the best girls of the year sigh. |

But at the same time, I don't recall there being many comedic scenes (whether they're funny or not is subjective), and the style of humour in this anime, I don't think is any different than anime like Gintama, My Bride is a Mermaid, and pretty much every comedy anime that relies on exaggerated but not too exaggerated style of comedy. However, if I were you, and I enjoyed the comedy of Oresuki, but thought the story and characters sucked, I would watch a comedy anime like the ones listed. Because yes, Oresuki is a comedy anime, but it's also a drama, so there aren't as many comedic scenes. Pure comedy anime like Gintama have comedic scenes every minute. A lot of anime considered bad by critics, like SAO, Future Diary, Elfen Lied, etc, are still enjoyed by really young people, because the premises are dark, and the stories are gory and intense. If a critic told a very young viewer why they think Future Diary sucks, then they would probably be persuaded. I know when I watched Future Diary as a kid, I thought it was the shit, until I watched critics' explaining why it sucked. Basically when you're no older than 14, you probably aren't critically thinking about the anime you're watching. Yes, it could be argued that the anime I listed have serious flaws, but they're what I would call subtle flaws, in that if you turn your brain off, you won't spot them. But I think Oresuki is so bad, that even if I turned off my brain, I would still spot the major flaws. Even when I turn my brain on, I'm still not that good of a critical thinker, compared to some of the members on MAL. |

Finally finished. The anime felt a bit different from when I read the manga but I'll give it a pass score since it still enjoyable. It felt a bit rush and I noticed the missing scenes from the manga. With an sequel OVA instead of a S2. They made it clear that there did not have the budget for S2. RIP Sasanqua... I'll stick with manga and novel for this series Man the comments in this forum are crazy tho...we go off-topic to talking about other anime here RealTheAbsurdist said: Alright, that's understandable.

Bro, as a Gintama fan, I know well you didn't even watch that series to be claiming that it has comedic scenes every minute. Your credibility is off. Yes, it's a comedy series but no it's no every minute. Once a while there are times where to they go fight the villains, so I wouldn't call that comedic every minute. Without those time where they go into a arc, it's basically like a filter/no real plot/slice of life/comedy/laid back most of the time. They explained how filter work and do camoe with the current anime as it aired. Although it has around 300+ eps, it felt much longer than One Piece that I marathon with in 5 months. If I were to suggest a long anime to a friend, it wouldn't be Gintama since it difficult to understand the jokes without know Japanese. Don't expect to laugh every minutes.

Dude do you still think hose will leave her if she just rejects him That dudes a demon and in today's episode even tsubaki said that he won't leave her if she dates Sun chan or anyone else That's why joro got a choice to help her That's when the bet thing came in And i don't like the idea of using pansy as a trophy in this challenge |

It's official...the only legitimate RomCom series to come out in recent years is Love is War. This was just straight up hilariously disappointing. The only good thing was Joro's internal commentary when he was in asshole mode. |
Don't believe the hype. |

I mean, a lot of discussions on topics, tend to branch out, which is common, and I think is very interesting. Sure, in a debate, doing this isn't a good idea, as you want to stay on topic in a debate, but I'm not debating with @operationvalkyri. Sighs I'm really getting tired of having to clarify why I said X, or my intentions, even though they should be obvious most of the time... I don't understand why you didn't check my anime list? I watched 10 episodes of Gintama, and almost every scene, something comedic happens. But based on what you've said, that's not always true in the later episodes. Alright, Gintama wasn't the best example: how about Baka and Test? I wasn't recommending Gintama to @operationvalkyri because of length, I didn't say that Gintama would make them laugh every minute, I was recommending it to them, because the appeal in humor of Oresuki and Gintama are similar: yes, Gintama has references, but for the most part, both anime rely on very exaggerated humor. @operationvalkyri Oh yeah, I'm curious: you said you don't watch harem anime at all. How come? Why did you start watching Oresuki? Was it because of the initial subversive premise? |

When he gave the thingies to the girls I was totally expcecting that LUL I suppose that next episode pansy and the other 2 girls are going to give them to Joro, because they are going to be, for the first time, actually sicere about their feelings and bla bla and then... whatever happens? I'm starting to like a bit Sasanqua, I normally despite the damn stupid Tsunderes but this one is a bit different... even if she says every single damn phrase of the manual xD |

So this trashy, retarded harem romcom has ended. Ignore the smartass anime elitist who got the top review. This is still quite enjoyable despite having an annoying MC. Damn I'm gonna miss my favorite girls, Pansy and Sasanqua. |

Well, that was unexpected in many ways. Lol @ the 4th wall breaking, the timing for that was just impeccable. A pretty fine Episode 12 overall though, I reckon. I'm pretty sure the lovebirds of Hose will vote for Joro now as the girls will open up and start a battle for their own affairs, which is actually a fine result in itself I reckon. Credits to (best girl) Sasanqua for waking up Joro. She's just been gold since her 360 degree change xD. So it happens to be another message weaved in complexity and etc. but the message itself pretty straight-forward and interesting, I'm somehow genuinely impressed despite giving up hope for the series after the first 3 episodes. Joro then using a dirty trick knowing fully well that Hose would accept the challenge was just ... I was wondering when he'd use this trick up his sleeve the whole time so it's nice to finally get it. And then ending with all the girls confessing, oh my the title is completely off the mark now innit lol? President Cosmos and Asunaro were being particularly expressive in this regard earlier too but not Himawari so I was a little surprised but well should've honestly seen it coming. What a cliffhanger to end proceedings for now as well, damn. Hopefully, the OVA will be an hour length (it's getting screenings for one thing) on another note. All in all, the arcs have been a hit-or-miss. The first one was simply gold but then the mid 2-3 were pretty bad to be frank and this final arc fine, so it ends up as about average for me sadly. Animation aesthetics, Op/ED and the VA (props to Yamashita-san in particular for the amazing usage of difference vocal tones and Haruka Tomatsu for just being awesome as always) were fabulous though so creds for that! I feel like the show tried a little too hard to break free from the clutches of typical harem cliches and it succeeded brilliantly at first but then just kept getting unnecessarily complicated and all over the place. I really admire this approach though, don't get me wrong. But a bit more polishing mainly from the storyline was lacking, I suppose. As such, I'll award this show a solid 5/10. I feel like I would normally give it a 6 but I couldn't help but be disappointed with the progression of the show during the mid-phase. I was thinking of a 4/10 but this final episode regained a bit of the charm so I feel inclined to up the score a bit. I'll most definitely be chiming in to the Op and ED though and here's to hoping Yamashita Daiki-san gets similar roles because he just blew this role out of the park! |

Brilliant ending. I knew Sun-chan was going to ask out Pansy, but it seems he's still trying to help Joro out a bit. If this were real life I'd tell Joro to just ask Pansy out, tell the other 2 to get lost and then they can be happy ever after. Of course it wouldn't be a rom-com then & would ruin the storyline. If if Joro weren't to end up with Pansy, he's got 4 or 5 other girls to chose from, but Pansy is the one he wants, typical rom com. I like Sasanqua, she's cute, but Pansy is best girl for both her looks (when she lets her hair down) & her acerbic personality. I liked this show from beginning to end, voice acting, animation, bench-kun. The characters, Joro, Sun-chan, Pansy, Cosmo, Himiwari - I can remember them all, which means they made a good impact. So I gave this show a solid 8/10. Come on season 2!!!! |

Brilliant finale! The first arc was still peak Oresuki but this last one was also fantastic. The second half of the episode just made me smile because it had everything that is so good about this, the witty comedy, dark Joro, breaking the 4th wall and so on. Also, the confessions at the end were fantastic. Still, Sansaqua is the best girl of this show and she barely had any screentime |

Do you think we will be getting a season 2 by that ending? Also how come the manga isnt very popular? |

RealTheAbsurdist said: There was no other appealing comedy or romance show this season (High Score Girl started late and I didn't realise Beastars was a romance until later). I skimmed the forum for ep 1 of Oresuki and saw people liking the comedy so I started. Didn't realise Oresuki was a harem until the middle of ep 1 but I was already enjoying it then.Oh yeah, I'm curious: you said you don't watch harem anime at all. How come? Why did you start watching Oresuki? Was it because of the initial subversive premise? I don't watch harms because that kind of story doesn't appeal to me. The objective is for everyone to fawn over one character and that is tiresome. I don't enjoy reverse harms much either. The only harem/reverse I like are the ones where the harem elements are just there but the story is mostly about other stuff. |

TsukuyomiREKT said: The is all I came to express. Thank you for having alreday done so.So the OVA (a.k.a episode 13) isn't coming out until Summer of next year? Yeah, that's pretty shitty. Who thought that was a good idea? I still dislike Sun-tan. Joro really is an idiot and everybody else is selfish. I can't say I hated this series but I didn't really like it either after the first few episodes. It did entertain me when it wasn't cringey. |

Nothin bad, nothing great. Series was an adequate. It had some pretty funny parts, and some pretty just okay parts as well. |
