| From what I've heard, this is one of the last good points in the manga before it really turns to shit. You can't really go wrong with an opening from CHiCO with HoneyWorks, though [i]Centimeter[/] by the peggies is just too memorable. Still a good opening though |
 |
| Damn poor Mizuhara. I wasn't too impressed with op visuals but at least Chico did the opening. Not a bad first episode tbh |
 |
| Forgot the whole point and plot of the show but here we are yet again they managed to remind me how shitty of a character Kazuya is and it doesn't seem like that will be changing anytime soon. |
 |
| lol this hate shits getting |
 |
| I shouldn't have read the manga. Now I'm gonna go all over it again in the anime. Feelsweirdman. Decent animation still looking pretty good. The story is meh, idk how much the author been milking this series by extending the plot but it was definitely not a good idea ok? |

OrdinaryFinn said: Anyone can correct me on this, but I think it comes from the manga. You know how some manga have illustrations at the beginning of every chapter? This is basically it. Same goes for the rest of the drawings of the girls.I remember when they announced the second season back in 2020, thank god it finally airs. The first episode was good and at least I liked it. I think it was good idea from them, to sum up the previous season at the beginning of the first episode, because, I mean, there was almost 2 years gap between this and the first season. Also, was the rifle necessary?  |

| The romcom dumpster fire that is Rent A Girlfriend is back for another season and the first episode wasn't as cringy as I thought it would be. The into of the girls were lovely except for Mami because she's toxic. Kazuma is still his usual self and has decided to attend the play that Chizuru starring in. Chizuru gave an amazing performance and the crowd was loving it. Kazuma couldn't help but be amazed by her performance. Unfortunately, things didn't go well for Chizuru despite her amazing performance because the director who was interested in the leading lady from the start due to the nepotism of the entertainment industry. Poor Chizuru was so upset that all her hard work going into preparing for that role has gone to wast as her dreams of being a famous actress has come to a screeching halt. Kazuma on the other hand was still feeling the afterglow of Chizuru's performance until she ran into her. Of course Kazuma told her how amazing her performance is, but she told him that she was unable to get the attention of the director who was in attendance. Chizuru tried to cover it up by saying she had no talent, but Kazuma noticed that she was trying to bottle up her frustrations and told her that she should not give up on her dream. Kazuma went on to say that he will continue to rent her over and over again to support her dream. The two of them manged to cause a scene in public causing Chizuru to run away in embarrassment while the Season 1's OP was playing which was a nice touch. |
 |
| This dude screaming at loud to Chizuru in public place is annoying af. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| Back to the cringe, holy shit lol. That street scene though... Could barely watch that shouting XD |
| ah yes its rentin' time with kazuya |
| Life sucks |
| Man, I’m glad this is back. But they really had to kick the episode off with the Mami recap huh? Anyways, Chizuru really was great in the play. Totally knocked it out the park. But I guess it’s not what you know, it’s who. I couldn’t help but feel frustrated too. Chizuru put so much work into her part, she acted the shit out of it and still in the end it was meaningless. No wonder she’s feeling dejected. Gotta hand it to Kazuya this time though. Most of the time he can be this cringey pathetic loser but he’s also earnest, caring, and a good guy deep down. That’s one of the things I like about the character. He’s not perfect and he knows how much of a mess he is, but he still tries his best to become better. I think he really kind of shone this episode. He really told Chizuru what she needed to hear in a moment when she was feeling pretty low and it felt genuine. Looking forward to next week. I like that the show takes its time with the characters and their feelings for one another. It’s a slow burn, but I’m ok with that. |
| Ahh shit... here we go again Another season of mid but atleast we got centimetres at last |
| This was good. The starting bit with characters introducing and suff was unnecessary but was nice for people to revise what had happened in Season 1. Those character drawings during recap were cute. The animation was really good, they took their time with Season 2 and the results are already showing. Gotta say though the OP doesn't have the same feel as Season 1 OP, compared to it this OP is pretty mid and they got a bit lazy or IDK ran out of ideas with OP visuals I think. I'm guessing there's gonna be fish-kun lines this season. There were none I think in Season 1 and manga is full of them, this should be fun. The starting bit with Kazuya leading up to the play was a tad bit boring and felt forced and unnatrual but once the play started everything went back to being natural again. Gotta say Chizuru's acting was really good, even I lauged a few times during the play. It's just 1st episode and we got to see Sumi-chan again, as cute and precious as ever. Man it fucking sucks that Chizuru didn't get selected by the director when she fully deserved it, this truly is an acursed world where nothing ever goes as planned, only pain and suffering remains. Yeah I know Kazuya loves Chizuru and stuff but his simp meter was off the charts in this episode, man literally rent her every week. I just hope he uses his own earned money to rent her instead of his parents'. Anyway that was pretty sweet of him and at least got Chizuru out of the dumps to some extent. I was surprised Chizurur didn't reply Kazuya with "how can you say such embarassing lines" and kicked him lmao after Kazuya speech xD. Ah well she did stomp on his leg but that's different. Something very good happened with Kazuya renting Chizuru for weeks to come. 5/5. Seems this will be single cour again, I was hoping for a double cour after waiting so long but :/ |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| the animation looks pretty good hearing centimetre again felt nice the mc is still annoying |
 |
| It's not like this show got high praises from me in S1 but it is simple and easy going weekly brain gum. And also Sumi supremacy. Yeah. |
 |
| Rent-a-Girlfriend is BACK!!! The amount of memories I had when I watched the first season is irreplaceable, this show was one of the first shows I watched as a seasonal/weekly anime back in the good old days of the lockdown, and I can never replace the amount of bullshittery but entertaining stuff that I got and enjoyed with this story and these characters. Ever since then, we have moved on with our lives, 2 years have passed and the world is a different place, yet watching this episode - somehow I still can't help but laugh on what Kazuya is doing, some things still stays the same. Now watching this episode, I felt that this should be the proper final episode of Season 1 considering how it actually feels like a closer, and the credits rolling in at the back end. But it also works well as a first episode, with a nice introduction from our 4 girls at the start, and a very good and catchy CHiCO with Honeyworks OP. This was a very nice episode, yeah Kazuya is still Kazuya, still simping over things (I can still relate), and woah Sumi is actually here to watch as well. But yes I agree the MVP of this episode (and pretty much the whole show) is Chizuhara with a very great performance as a ninja, the way she acts reminds me so much of Aqua (without the whole crying thing), and all was going well until it wasn't. In a way, the events that transpired is a trial for both of them, our boy thinking if he is ready to let go from our girl, and our girl working really hard to make that next step of being an actress. But with Chizuhara being denied that shot, our boy (as criminal as it is) can't help but stick with her to support her further. And yes I still think this should've been the finale back in 2020, but hey this was a good showing nonetheless. Glad to have this series back in my weekly anime diet, cause with how Season 1 transpired, you can never be short of comedy, bruh Kazuya slander, ridiculous moments, and waifu power!!! |
 |
| Jeez, I may have to rewatch S1 as I have forgotten it. The one consolation is I saw Sumi. I need more Sumi.. pass me the Sumi. |
| May the Uguu be with you. |
nixops said: Sumi best girl I love her she needs more screen timeJeez, I may have to rewatch S1 as I have forgotten it. The one consolation is I saw Sumi. I need more Sumi.. pass me the Sumi. |
 |
| Chizuru is a stunning actress, no wonder Kazuya was enveloped with awe. Pity she never got that role, it's not her fault but that shit-bag old Coot's fault. So they still keeping up with the secret. I love it. Kazuya's speech moved me, pity Chizuru never thanked him. Why low score? It won't make me hate this series though, best series in like a long time. Would watch the first season a billion times rather any harem |

| i appreciate the 3 minutes recap, it really helps. everything was so good about Chizuru except Kazuya. but he kinda redeem it a little bit with his words in the end. yeahh Kazuya sucks |
 |
| Its rentin' time as my favourite garbage makes its grand return. Great premier that serves to strengthen Chizuru as my favourite character in this show. I hope Rental Komi-San also gets more time to shine. |
 |
| The visuals are a lot better than s1, and the last part is kind of sweet. |
 |
| Well, well, it looks like this is getting better. |
| Actually not a bad first ep, though i still have low expectations. Kazuyas little speech near the end got a bit irritating. |
| eh. i dont remember kazuya sounding like that , what a jumpscare. first ep was alright, nothing really happened. eh |
| Nepotism in showbiz. Kazuya basically blurted out please dig more of my gold out on the street. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| loved it, looking forward to see more romantic moments between ichinose and the guy. |
| yes. |
| The way this show portrays Simpy McCuck as virtuous character is disgusting. |
