Love romance animes this fits the mold the tropes are too much at times but it also feels like there are multiple genuine characters to grow and learn more about here

a pink girl who thinks it's ok to be rude to a spineless virgin just beacause she didn't get what she want. a male mc who blushes like a little girl whenever a woman makes a move, his love interest who always clings on to whether it be chad, virgin, or a girl's butt. the colorful scenes may fool u that this may be cutesy, teenage romance story but the actual premise is that this dystopian society is actively encouraging to make disingenuous human interactions to get better grades, and they even put cameras in the living room as if students are actual guinea pigs. that's some pervy big brother shit. i'd bet they secretly make money off by distributing the videos as reality shows, and who knows if there aren't any cameras in their private rooms? this show is very dark, even trying to fool the audience with its flashy colors and idiotic characters. i'd watch 2 more eps and drop if it is harmful to my mental health

Off to an okay start, some things could have been a little better, and I really don't know how I feel about the jealously thing going on, but I'm going to keep watching cause its a really cool concept and I genuinely enjoy the main characters.

they added some new original scenes and some minor changes from manga (like jirou and shiori met at starting outside classroom in manga but in anime they met in classroom) bright colors and cute drawing what else we want?!! 5/5

I already forgot their interactions with each other at first but after seeing the first episode I realized that their attitude towards each other is very, very different on the latest chapters. You really won't expect that these two are so lovey dovey and horny for each other on the latest chapters.

It's disappointing to see another male MC that is, so far, a spineless doormat with no will of his own. I guess a wimpy male lead is a main ingredient in the basic recipe for most (or all) Rom-Coms though. Automatic average in my book at current...we'll see where it goes from here though.


I generally hate it when people compare the source material but in this case I think it's justified. For reasons I just don't understand they've totally nerfed the mc compared to the manga. I mean, he is supposed to be a somewhat nervous and introverted where in the manga it's shown realistically given the situation.

However, this adaptation is portrays him as some sort of jittery beta otaku wreck. It's not right and really irritating to watch as it doesn't work well with the rare moments when he's supposed to have a little confidence. Everything else about the adaptation is great but it's is enough to make me want to drop it frankly.

bro i cringed so fucking hard during the ketchup omurice scene, what was that shit? am i the only one who found that part cringe?

lmaoo the post-credit, made me LOL.

the ED is nice.

i'm having mixed feelings about this. sometimes it's good, sometimes it's overdone, sometimes it's cringe. i'm conflicted but it's only first episode, let's see how this turns out. it's decent enough that i'll follow this till the end. the premise isn't really new, kind of similar to koi to uso. don't think it can be better than that though.

shiori is acting a bit too cutesy-innocent-girl that needs to be protected and i'm hating that. it's like overacting, didn't seem natural to me at all. same goes for akari she's like wannabe tsundere i guess? her rudeness is exaggerated and then her cuteness too.

i don't like the way theyare showing the MC during comedic parts, it's all overdone, his reactions, his lines, the stutter etc.

but bro's got guts, he actually went for the kiss. akari's reaction to that was cute. didn't like the complete lack of mention of that kiss though. they started acting like it never happend. why?

didn't like the scene where shiori just grabbed onto our mc's arm. seemed too forced and it was put only for the purpose of showing the reason why she grabbed onto minami that morning.

both mc's seem to have the usual traits of taking care of others, kindness, nice people etc. akira is also a great cook, it's nice to have an fmc who's good at cooking.

things happened very fast though, i mean kiss in first episode? and then they both are already falling for each other wtf? how many chapters did they adapt? it was way too forced man. at the start of the episode they showed how akira doesn't pay any attention to guys like our mc and how our mc doesn't like girls like akira but by the end of the episode they are roaring to go for another kiss.

the color palette is really colorful though and it's bright too. the scenes looked pretty.

i know it's only first episode and i complained a lot but all these things really ticked me off. really what's with the overacting in this season's animes? there's bocchi from bocchi the rock with the overacting and then there's fmc, mc and childhood friend in this anime overacting. they seemed normal at times but the overacting ticked me off.

4/5.

wow, i saw a lot of praises, but personally there's nothing special in this first episode for me. The protagonist is superficial, enough for him to be just an insert devices. For the girls, i never get how people with no experience in relationship could behave so bold and baity like that, even for a cartoonish standard she doesn't make sense. The whole mock marriage things supposed to prepared them for the real marriage-life right? So why when they're reached the highest point of their relationship instead of lowest, suddenly they're granted the options to change their partner? isn't that a fucked up lesson and just defeat the whole purpose?

Lastly, did they really expect that with just a fingerprints lock system and a surveillance camera they could prevent the pair from banging each other?
if this is supposed to be our future system, then they must be dumber than a elementary student that could think a way of hiding a pack of cigarette and smoke secretly

I can't take this show seriously, even if its just for an entertainment sake i feel i could lost a braincell

Akari and Jirou are paired up for the marriage couple program but both of them have different crushes and so they try to get along so that their ranking will increase and change their pair. It's an interesting premise let's see how it goes.
I give it 5/10.

"Couple Practical Course"

This anime had a pretty interesting and cute concept but it's kind of obvious where this is going. A romantic anime with the main have/had a different love interests then eventually they will go fond of each other and end up together(?).
But honestly tho', excited to see how will the story pan out.

Who tf in their right mind decided to make it compulsory to pass this sham of a practical in order to graduate? A practical where people get rewarded for faking affection. This might just make Blue lock more believeable.

- A serious me. Horny me sees well-animated fanservice and is already sold. On a side note, funny how it has come out after A Couple of Cuckoos. This is basically that but with better animated fanservice and no ugly art style.

Interesting concept in that there's a course where a pretend couple has to live together and get along (I have no idea if there's anything like that in real life in Japan but given the ongoing declining birthrates I would not put it past it if something similar exists).

I was getting Rent-A-Girlfriend vibes from Jirou especially from his imagination and a little bit from his reactions. Colors & animations are nice as others mentioned, and I'm a fan of seinen anime so definitely interested in watching how this turns out.

I don't watch a lot of anime that have fan service so his may not be my show and the plot sounds a bit cliché. I'll give this anime the 3 episode rule but I'm not having high hopes for this one.

Great episode! Hilarious characters, especially the green-haired dude, the blonde guy, childhood friend, MC and the pink-haired girl.

Predictable? probably for peeps who always consume romance material but tbh, I'm curious what will happen next time.

For a guilty pleasure series, it's decent enough.
Yes, I'm also looking for more.

P.S. I remembered watching something similar like this years ago where they are engaged automatically... I forgot what the title is though.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Well it looks somewhat interesting.
My main question here is how will things turn out seeing as there are several ways this can end, either the main characters realise they like each other and start something, or they are to focused on other interests that they fail to see what's in front of them or thing will get really bad and so on.
It could get interesting but for now the road seems pretty clear.
Have to say the main girl is more interesting the the brown haired childhood friend, the blond haired guy also seems stereotype and my guess is things won't be going so well between them as it appears.
The main couple also needs to work hard tho.

Also are all pink haired girls voiced by the same seiyu, didn't check who it is but pretty sure it's the same voice as a certain girl that ties her hair in a ponytail when she gets serious.

She also has the same VA as the pink haired girl from Food wars (Hisako) lmao

The main male lead is a lot different then I thought he'd be. But the female lead is really cute and I love the fact she's a gal. You don't see many gal MCs. I hope the male lead becomes more confident in future episodes as the stereotypical timid Otaku protagonist really annoys me whenever I see them. It was one of the main reasons I dumped 3D Kanojo. Couldn't stand the male lead.

This series is gonna definitely be a re-watchable one with its wholesomeness.

I'm glad it doesn't cross the line with the ecchi. It does it tastefully enough that it doesn't get in the way of the rest of the show. (Hate ecchi shows that just keep shoving it in your face)

The setting is weird and doesn't make sense but it makes it so the main couple live together so I'm all for it. I love romance series like this that start the romance right from the beginning.
