Do you consider Kaguya-Sama one of the funniest animes?

Fine, I'll elaborate then.

Kaguya is the anime equivalent of Moonlighting, with Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd. You're stuck there for multiple seasons, getting blue-balled, while waiting for something memorable to actually happen.

Of course when the payoff comes, it's way too late, and the execution can never be good enough because the timing itself wasn't good enough. So you end up hating it in the end.

I didn't expect the anime to start and end in five minutes, obviously. But there needs to be a clear progression path.
If you're going to have two characters dance around each other for twelve whole episodes, playing "mind games", you can't have them end roughly on the same level where they started.

Again, like Moonlighting, I'm not going to wait three full seasons for the director to throw me a (rotten) piece of meat.

In short: Watching Kaguya is the same as watching a football match for 90 minutes, only for it to end 0-0.
Sure, the teams did a fine job mind-controlling each other. The positioning was flawless. There's only one problem: no one actually wants to watch that shit. We came for the goals.
