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

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?

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?

My prediction is slightly different, but only slightly: The two girls will vote for Joro, but Pansy will hold off. Sun-chan will win. And then it will be up to Pansy to decide the tie-breaker.

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

3) Why are the characters still saying Joro's "true nature" is him being a dick? Yes, in the first few episodes, he was a legit manipulating dick, but then throughout the whole anime, he's genuinely a good person? But now he's a dick, but he's not a dick? I don't get it!
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."

Except after the first few episodes, he's never actually Hyde. He just PRETENDS to be, which rarely happens across the anime.

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).

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.
As someone who doesn't watch harem shows at all, I can tell you why I stuck around: for the comedy gimmicks. The show made me chuckle often. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Alright, that's understandable. The comedy somewhat aplealed to me, and it seems to have appealed to a lot of people. 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

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. You might laugh every couple eps but not every minutes.

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.

In that case, why don't the characters just report to the teachers/parents that Hose won't stop harassing Pansy?

@xkazutox

Yes, I was talking about other anime, but I wish in your post you addressed the context in which I was talking about other anime.
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?

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

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?
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.

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.

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?
The is all I came to express. Thank you for having alreday done so.

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.
Be happy with what you have to be happy with
