Refreshing, refreshing, refreshing!! Netflix did such a good job!! I was skeptical when starting this show, because a lot of anime Netflix has made has not been the best. But I enjoyed Kotaro Lives Alone and Komi Can't Communicate, so I gave this a chance! This show was so enjoyable, and the animation was really good in my opinion! I love how there wasn't any overload of fanservice, that's fine if you want that in a show, but sometimes it's nice to watch a rom com that isn't ecchi, and this one was perfect.
I feel like it's hard to find harem-themed lead lady romance anime that are a great watch, but this show was really good! It does have tropes that are commonly used, but it does not feel aggravating or forced. It is pretty much considered a harem (even though I would say it's more so a love triangle) but the show actually focuses more on the character development with the characters as friends than the actual harem itself.
The MC is great. She's an "anti-heroine", so not your typical girl you would see leading a romance anime. She's smart, funny, and she does not care about the attention of boys, which is so refreshing. She cares more about her friends, gaming and her cat. Hence the title "romantic killer". The storyline is also very clever, there's a magic entity which shows up in the MC's life and forces her into this dating simulation style life, which the MC is completely against. So, essentially the show starts out with the MC trying to ruin the romance she is being set up into, but then it turns into a wholesome story about friendship and love. There's also drama towards the end of the show which was great.
The boys in the show are great characters too. It's pretty obvious who has the highest chance of the MC falling for them and he's obviously the best boy! *cough* Tsukasa *cough*. Riri the magic entity is sooo funny and I loved the dynamic between Riri and our MC Anzu. There's drama, comedy, romance and the show actually hits deep topics as well (like sexual assault and our society's obsession which good looks). I don't want to give too much away, so I just think you should watch this if you like rom coms!
I also wrote a review because there potentially will be a season 2, which is hinted at the end, and hopefully if the show gets good enough ratings Netflix will do a season two!
