They took the whole ‘not much happens, feel good’ thing way too far. Now some of my favorite shows and movies are things where not much happens. My Neighbor Totoro, K-On!, Horimiya, Tsukigakirei; all of these have nothing going for it plot-wise but are some of my all time favorites. But this show had me straight snoozing. I thought I would like it because the premise said that the main characters were already a couple, which is not something you see much. I loved that aspect in Horimiya and Tsukigakirei so I thought a show where you just see a couples life could be wholesome and comforting. But this is way too unrealistically perfect. There is no conflict, no drama. They are always doing happy stuff and saying romantic things for no reason. Both the characters and the plot are straight up Boring. I remember she was really athletic and he had bad luck but that was all there was to it. I honestly forgot there were other characters when I started writing this. All this show had to offer was feel good vibes but even those seemed artificial and fake. This was not a relationship, this did not show any love. It was a vain fantasy world where everyone is happy and innocent all the time. For some reason I feel like the person who wrote and directed this show has never been in an actual relationship before. Or got out of a bad one and is making it out of spite. And the other people working on it just kind of want the paycheck. It’s bland, the nonstop smiles kind of piss me off and my dude couldn’t even kiss the girl at the end. They’ve dated for 6 months I think and in the final super ‘romantic’ moment, my guy had to go for the cheek. Fucking loser. Still better than Rent-A-Girlfriend though. Also it’s hilarious that the title is grammatically incorrect. It’s supposed to be “Shikimori isn’t just a cutie”. Fucking dumbass.
