To put it simply I find no enjoyment from this show and hate the main character as well as disliking most other characters.

This is basically your average anime for lonely virgins who lack the ability to go outside.

Cringy and a complete waste of time, albeit with some top tier waifus in it.

I love how Rent-a-Girlfriend knows exactly what it is and it achieves exactly what it aims to be. The show wants you to feel distraught over how dysfunctional every character is, and it conveys those feelings to the audience perfectly. I know that a ton of people say that they hate this show, and if you’re one of those people, than ask yourself this: do you still come back every week to watch the newest episode? If you still can’t drop Rent-a-Girlfriend despite how much you say you hate it and you actually find yourself looking forward to watching the next episode, then the show is doing exactly what it sets out to achieve.

Honestly this show is not something revolutionary when it comes to comedy and it's also not something I would normally watch but I still "enjoy" it.

Yes, Kazuya is annoying but he plays his role in an excellent way. The plot just keeps going on and on, but I don't think it's terrible, Kazuya always finds a new way to mess things up.

Female cast is okay I guess? As I said, Kazuya plays his role very well and this is no exception for the girls.

My only complaint about this series is everyone falling in love with Kazuya:

See, first we had Ruka-chan falling in love with Kazuya INSTANTLY, without knowing him at all. She cried and begged for his love, something that Kazuya definitely doesn't deserve. And here we are now, with her technically being his girlfriend but she's still fine with Kazuya dating Chizuru, even if it's not a real relationship (this goes for both sides).

(Spoilers from latest episode)
So... Now we have Sumi who's possibly in love with Kazuya, and she has fairly good reasons to have some interest in Kazuya, they actually developed a relationship before her showing up her feelings for him.





But still... Why? How is this dude who plays the role of a lonely loser have two girls pursuing him? That makes no sense whatsoever. Kazuya losses his purpose, kind of.

Besides that problem, I personally think the series is very well written and I understand why is it so enjoyable for most people, and I also understand why a lot of people don't like this series.

I wouldn't recommend this to a friend, and I can't say I enjoy it, but I'm down to watch it until it's finished cause the story got me interested, you know? Even if it's something I wouldn't normally watch, I think everyone should give this show a chance.

Thank you for reading!

I genuinely didn’t find it funny. I loved the art but that’s all I find appealing about this show. None of the characters’ are particularly intriguing either, Ruka is the equivalent of a child, Sumi is just a cute cardboard cut-out, Mami is a toxic bitch, Chizuru is independent but she somehow sticks to the protagonist? I hate the pathetic being that is the protagonist. The story’s pretty much a basic waifu-bait.

rent a girlfriend was one of the first anime I seen, and my initial thoughts were "wow, this is dumb asf" it wasn't boring at least, but I thought sum shi was so dumb like ruka acts like a child, Kazuya (the worst mc in any anime i seen) is just a down bad mf who simping for what's basically a prostitute, chizuru feels too bland like she could've been alr if she had more, sumi is okay she barely appears tho, and mami is the only character that I like (kibe is aight), like mami has every right to be a bitch to Kazuya, she's overhated, and honestly the idea of "renting a girlfriend" is so dumb like ain't no way sum gon fr rent a girlfriend bro, Kazuya 99% of the time thinks with his dick, also the show is just cringy

I think the hate is mostly directed towards Kazuya because, even if it's on a silver platter, he doesn't do the obvious.

Removing that, my thoughts on the show in general were that it was "another romantic comedy", which I honestly would have forgotten about if it weren't for the second season announcement and the countless memes against its manga.

My core reaction is a constant and unending state of cringe - worse than that of watching Watamote (and that was unbelievably painful enough for me to stop halfway through). I made it through one episode of this one so far this season and can't bring myself to start the next one.

Loving it. MC is terrible, and in a way that’s what’s amazing about him. I pretty much like him, as well as the rest. I see a lot of “cringe” but at this point, I don’t even know what would be the meaning of it, for all I know watching anime itself is cringe LOL. Maybe some are frustrated because they are like him and hate that part of themselves hence despise being reminded of it? Who knows… Love the anime, reading the manga (that I love too) as well which has some pretty crucial information left out by the anime.

I pity for kazuya (like in last episode, when he was crying), but still he somehow ends up doing something cringe, which results in whatever shit is happening.

First season i get while people dont like the show. But if your a person who can keep an open mind and see what stuff they going through you will enjoy it. Also season 2 is really good so far like looking forward to new drops every week

I found the kazuhas decisions and thoughts to be understandable although not always agreeable. I enjoy seeing the mess of this guy's life unfold. Also Mami is pretty cool, so I'm interested in what she does next too

it's complicated, the side characters are nicely done, although not as good as aot or tonikawa side characters but fairly good, the mc just feels off as in I cannot resonate with his decisions and actions, plus they story is average so it's best a 6/10 for me.

Imma be honest sometimes you just need a trash story mixed in with a awful mc and a ton of waifus

Tbh once you watch enough trash you find joy even in the most simple of things

Yo amo este anime me verdad, me río a carcajadas y me emociono como colegiala en cada capítulo jajaja

El anime está bien, sin duda le llueve un montón de hate pero al menos a mí me gusta y se que el protagonista tiene mucho que crecer pero es interesante ver cómo al menos lo intenta y confío en que eventualmente lo hará y será un protagonista respetable.

El creador tiene una relación rara con su obra jajaja pero eso es tema aparte, a mí me gusta Rent A Girlfriend y me divierto mucho viéndola.

It doesn't deserve the hate it receives because it doesn't pretend to be an intellectual work and the fact that its creator is kind of weird is a separate issue.

The anime is fun, it entertains and at least I get excited when I see it, I think it's a very nice work.

It's irritating, yet entertaining. It's annoying, yet exciting. It's just fun to watch. Irrespective of alll the various aspects of this wow which are hated by many people(even i don't like some of them), the anime, as a show/work of fiction is quite good. Plus the animation is really nice.

It's basically an avg anime which can be forgotten once it is over, mc is a complete trash who thinks with his dick...
Even the personality of female characters are questionable...
The only reason people watch it is coz of its art...

It was a decent comedy, romance, Harem anime and i liked it for what it was, but now that everyone says that there's no development whatsoever even after 200 chapter idk what to think. I saw potential in the main character to grow as a person and have a redemption but for what I heard he doesn't change that much
