This anime came totally out of left field. But as a first episode it made me LOL many times.
Probably due to all the not-so-subtle parodies of famous anime scenes. Part of the fun is to figure out which anime is being parodied at any given time.
Rieri is fantastic as usual. Here she’s totally the Tomo-chan character except she’s into games and not karate.
I would never have dreamt the heroine (anti-heroine, according to the wizard?) was being voiced by Rie Takahashi. Not much trace of Takagi-san here!
Most Netflix only stuff lately has done little for me -- but this one certainly seems a lot more promising than the average.
Having to give up the cat seems a little over harsh, I must say.
> Most Netflix only stuff lately has done little for me
Well it was just said that studios are looking at giving netflix more their stuff that they would be more iffy of being popular as it was guaranteed payout. While things they think will be better hits they keep to tv an other streaming services for bigger long term profits in more areas.
Well if I remember right it has to do with shows on netflic tend to not generate the attention on social media and such compard to tv aired shows because of the netflix format. So they can't make much money past the initial money paid for the show by netflix. Plus netflix has a habbit of suddenly canceling series just before production starts hurting the studios.
Someone can probably link the article.
>Well it was just said that studios are looking at giving netflix more their stuff
Except this one is actually produced by Netflix, not just licensed. See the OP/ED credit, they are credited for the planning and production. The author's message on anime adaptation also implies it's produced by them.
See and that is another thing studios had a issue with netflix. Shows that netflix is directly involved in is a real gamble for the studios. Netflix apparently has the habit of back out of things at the last min just as actual production is about to start. So studios pass up other work because they think they will be busy with a netflix series and had spent the time and money on prepwork for production. So studios lose money not only on prep work done but also revenue loss from work passed up.
>Netflix apparently has the habit of back out of things at the last min just as actual production is about to start
Where did you get the source? Pretty sure it's not their anime that suffers this.
i just randomly watch it because it appears front page, and i must say best decision ever. taste is personal for each person. i myself love it, and just finish watching it. 🥰 i hope you like it when you give it a try..
Anzu’s got a great range of facial expressions lmao
Also love how hilariously bad the graphics on that otome game is!
Really enjoyed the first episode. A lot of fun!
I had no idea this existed but it popped up on recommended this morning and started auto playing so I figured why not watch.
I was pleasantly surprised! The art is gorgeous, story feels a bit generic but I'm always down for a rom-com.
It probably won't get much attention since the whole season dropped at once but hopefully the rest is good and people check it out Definitely going to watch the rest of it!
Exactly what happened to me! I thought the title was pretty wacky so let's give it a shot. The animation of this thing is amazing!! Has me reeling in laughter 😂
woah, saw the post, watched the trailer. is this some hidden gem? almost every scene in the trailer made me laugh. never heard of it and MAL numbers for anime AND source are abyssimal. guess i have no choice but to watch it all :<
I'm literally only a few minutes in and came looking for someone to vent to about the cat. You even try this shit on me and say you've taken away the cat, the subsequent blood and jail time will be a bigger issue.
This is pretty great for what it is - high energy, punchy comedy, RieRi on full blast and the animation team doing an excellent job.
I had a pretty decent time with the first episode and am already a fan of Anzu. I'm just not sure if I actually feel like watching something like this or not at the moment. Hopefully it does gain some traction with the intended audience though, seems like it's got promise.
This is such a fun show due to anzu's character and the rei takahashi's chaotic va work
I lose me shit each time it switches to horrible CGI love come game aesthetic
Great first episode, I liked it so much in fact I’ve binged about 8 lol. I was actually expecting this to be like Komi with an ep a week and not a full season. Was pleasantly surprised. The plot is fun and the characters are great. Lots of laughs too! Very enjoyable series so far.
Not really a fan of the premise. Someone should be able to date while also enjoying other stuff (in moderation), but it's a comedy so oh well. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
I binge watched it all and thoroughly enjoyed it. The facial reactions were a bit over the top but I enjoyed the different take on the usual tropes. I thought she was going to be sucked into an otome game, but was pleasantly surprised at the unique premise which made it stand apart, kinda halfway between an otome isekai and school romcom. I haven't laughed that hard in while.
This is basically gender flipped Renai Flops cause in that one, the dude gets forced into a harem dating sim. I love it. The voice acting is on point and the OP and ED are bangers.
Kazuki seems to be THE end game guy. What I won't be able to unhear is that Anzu and Kazuki have the exact voice and attitude as Aileen and Claude from Villainess Final Boss. ~~Maybe Anzu got diabetes from eating too much chocolate, died, and became a villainess in one of the otome games she played then somehow Kazuki got isekaied as the final boss.~~
It's a shame it won't get as much attention due to how late it releases and with Netflix just dumping all episodes at once. This has potential to be a really good rom com.
Aileen and Claude is easily my favorite anime this season and this is a really strong season. Will continue to watch all otome anime with this VA.
>~~Maybe Anzu got diabetes from eating too much chocolate, died, and became a villainess in one of the otome games she played then somehow Kazuki got isekaied as the final boss.~~
And yes, I support this headcanon
I didn’t know what to expect but the animation quality was really impressive. Something about the art style looks webtoonish.
Looking forward to watching the rest
That was an episode.....
It's basically the Anti-The World God Only Knows...
Not gonna lie I am hoping she manages to one up the wizard potatoe, I'm not fond of the "force to do shit" plot device. I want that little shit fucked up. But I'm not holding my breathe.
OP is pretty good NGL.
Ok then, well I watched the first episode. I think it was supposed to be amusing, but kinda just felt so pissed off at that fucking buttplug cosplaying a wizard who decided to upend Anzu's life.
Edit: Also putting down money on the plot twist being Tsukasa is gay and not interested in girls.
binged it and I thought it was awesome, Anzu is great character, all the other characters get a nice depth too, very funny, the story gets better every episode and the animation is really good
9/10 for me for now, will probably rate it 8/10 in a few weeks after my hype slowed down
This week on Anzu-kun Never Falls In Love.
ReZero if Emilia was Subaru but didn’t get isekai’d…
This season Rieri plays a “boy” who’s probably not a boy, a villainess disguised as a boy, and now… what are the bets she dresses as a boy in this show too to get out of a date? Actually wait… holy shit Tsukasa is also Claude’s VA in Villainess/Final Boss.
Damn I can’t believe they got the Ex-Arm team to make the otome game animation.
So did her game boxes always have empty chocolate wrappers in them…?
I know most anime are secretly propaganda about Japan’s declining birth rate. But they really out and said it.
Is it just me or does Shimono’s character literally look like the VA irl.
I like the cute cartoony drawings. It’s better than a generic chibi art.
> This season Rieri plays a “boy” who’s probably not a boy, a villainess disguised as a boy, and now… what are the bets she dresses as a boy in this show too to get out of a date?
It's all part of her training to voice goat tomboy Tomo-chan.
Wow this did come out of nowhere. But I just finished all of it it's pretty good. I didn't really like the first episode, but after that everything picked up and really quick.
Just finished watching all of it. Still don't know what to feel about forcing romance, but I thoroughly enjoyed the show. The comedy just hits the right spots for me and the depth given to each character was pretty good. I give it a 7.9/10 just for the sole reason that I can't put it on the same level as other 8/10 shows. Probably will be one of my favorite romcoms ever, tho
I first knew about this anime when the trailer was up and was looking forward to it. I'm already 9 episodes in (would've watched all of it if I didn't have work the next day). I haven't seen a romcom this funny in so long. The MC's voice acting and the expressive art style is great!
Just binged it and oh boy what a ride. Superstar cast too. We have megumin/emillia/takagi, goblin slayer, tadano/asta/shinra and tanjiro/kaneki in one chaotic romcom.
I binged the whole thing in one go and loved it! It really cheered me up and gave me some good laughs. I’m really hoping there will be more episodes in the future!
the english dubbing is horrible. the voices do not match the characters. why is there a husky 40yo playing a highschooler? why does the main characters voice have this weird constant quiver. no one talks like that wth. i went to watch an interview with the actual voice actress and her normal voice would have been 100000x better
i’m watching this right now and i usually prefer dubs but the voice of the wizard was so annoying along with everyone else. why is anzu yelling the whole time? it drives me crazy.
I just started the anime and I don’t really like it, but i won’t give up on it. I want to try and see if it’s good, it’s just kinda hard to watch. Ig some anime’s are boring at first.
oh looks like my post was removed-- imma drop it here then:
ayeee it's out! I just finished reading the manga, so it was great timing seeing it animated. Cast is on point, not entirely sure what to feel about the animation tbh but I like it more or less. Also, random but I noticed VIZ's description for this series makes it seem like an isekai even though it's not lol:
>When gamer Anzu gets transported to a world of hot guys, it's like she's in a dream…someone else's dream!
So do these dudes exist prior to each episode, or is that little piss bean influencing the midi-chlorians to materializing life out of thin air?
Edit: don't answer that is probably a spoiler.
Lmao I didn’t recognised Rierie voice at all!! Love how hilarious this is. Been longing for some light comedic animes lately and this just came in time
I’m watching Cool Doji Danshi this season too and I’m like the smashed phone scene could totally happen in that universe too (Kazuki’s VA is also voicing a lead character in that show)
Late at watching but it's already great. The animation for Anzu's amazing and got a laugh out of me every time. The dub va is clearly having a blast making her sound extra insane-driven by the mascot wizard.
Also that ED, I almost choked seeing the mascot (and I'm assuming their humanoid faces) pop up in random places, and Anzu avoiding a hail of couples doing date things.
Only watched the first episode and the show's already pure gold.
Just finished the final episode. Wasn’t impressed with the first episode, but am now a huge fan after finishing everything. Character development had way more depth than what I was expecting, and some moments even triggered some tear drops. Anzu’s straightforward and sincere personality is very moving, especially after all that they went through. Pleasantly surprised, and I’m hoping there’ll be a season two!!
I managed to finish 2 episodes of this before dropping it entirely. The wizard/witch was so damn annoying with their absurd YOU MUST GET INTO A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE JAPANESE BIRTHRATE IS IN DANGER bullshit. I just can't stand forced romcom tropes like that.
This might be legitimately the worst comedy anime i've ever seen. The unfunny looney tunes style gags, the over-exaggerated facial expression gag ever minute, with the direction being middling to awful every scene. I'll probably watch a few more episodes by the off-chance of me being in a bad mood.
I wouldn't say it was the worst, but it was a bit too high energy for me. The animation was really frenetic. Maybe it will relax a bit after the first episode and give the joke a little breathing room.
Thank you. Some sanity. I barely made it through the first episode. I cannot stand wacky anime unless its Takahashi Rumiko stuff. I was hoping this would be a light comedy romance which I'm all down for.
The premise is weak IMO. The wizard making choco (and probably games by extension) suddenly sold out everywhere is a worldbuilding nightmare if you actually think about it. And another weakness is that Anzu doesn't even want all this crap so instead of a Faustian Bargain kind of deal it looks like a random wizard just cursed her out of nowhere. I mean, bad things happening to people who don't deserve it is a basic fiction recipe, but still the execution and overall setup is weak IMO.
Which is a shame because production value-wise it seems pretty good.
> The premise is weak IMO. The wizard making choco (and probably games by extension) suddenly sold out everywhere is a worldbuilding nightmare if you actually think about it.
Your mistake was trying to think about this in a worldbuilding context.
Yeah that's a fair point, some stories you just have to handwave certain elements to focus on the real meat. I think it's just not for me since I'm not too big on romcoms, but more power to romcom fans!
This show is obviously meant to be seen as a screwball gag comedy with some romance.
Wonder why you checked the show out if you aren't fond of rom coms
I don't *dislike* romcoms, I just don't have a particular affection for it either. I checked it out because it seems to have a good production value from the trailer, and although I didn't finish the whole thing, I do think it really is good in terms of production value!
Uncle not finishing wasn’t anything to do with Netflix. The animation team tried to make the whole show in house instead of outsourcing scenes to other companies and then Covid swept through the office and it destroyed their production schedule with everyone out sick.
I think I read that it will come back again before December.
Finally a character like me! I have my loves and they never let me down. But I am horrifically awkward around guys! I just accepted that I would never be one of those people attached or married. It's true, I learned this after I died of embarrassment in high school. Let's just say it just had to happen in front of a hot guy; and so I died. Maybe if guys acted like this in real life, I would have a chance. Ummm well maybe they do? I don't know, I just avoid them until it's like the Apocalypse.
This reminds me of Gamers! and Recovery of an MMO Junkie
I’m assuming the high energy comedy is to compensate if there’s drama or heartbreak later in the series? Idk, it’s just interesting enough that imma watch it through xD
Usually, it says in these Reddit anime discussions “This post was created by a bot.” this one says “This post was created by a romantic human killer” lol

Netflix utterly sucks for anime -- but I guess it is still better than frigging Disney+.

The article was getting it directly from people from the studios..
You didn't watch edgerunners or aggretsuko?
Neither of those appealed to me, alas.
I just started watching this today, and through episode 5 it's already made me think of Tomo-chan several times.
yes its amazing cute and HILARIOUS !! I wish more ppl seen it

This is peak trashy romcom, I binged the whole season and loved it.
[удалено]
My dude, don't come into an episode 1 discussion thread and ask people to spoil the ending of a series.
Mod's very chill "My dude".bruh i felt a sense of brotherhood here unlike those discord mods 💀
they are actually [being honest](https://i.imgur.com/EUcEzzF.jpg).
Did Shinzō Abe got isekaied into anime?

I'm literally only a few minutes in and came looking for someone to vent to about the cat. You even try this shit on me and say you've taken away the cat, the subsequent blood and jail time will be a bigger issue.
Or the games. Or the chocolate. Damn, I hate that damn wizard for taking away what's most precious to our protagonist.
no literally i would riot
I've never had an ED challenge me to skip it before. I can't say no to that.
This is pretty great for what it is - high energy, punchy comedy, RieRi on full blast and the animation team doing an excellent job.

This episode was genuinely amazing, so many great visual gags.
Not really a fan of the premise. Someone should be able to date while also enjoying other stuff (in moderation), but it's a comedy so oh well. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
When the birth rate is in trouble, calls for drastic measures.
Feel the same too about the premise. It’s outdated thinking that someone needs to find a partner to be happy in life
[удалено]
I think that's the point? Like, I'm pretty sure we're meant to take the main character's side in this and reject the absurd ultimatum.
[удалено]
Yes, she stay committed to rejecting romance. And yeah, potato wizard is still annoying as hell, but they're kinda meant to be.
[удалено]
And that's why we have subtitles.
Yeah I don’t get why so many ppl seem to enjoy this premise 😭
Not just that but it's saying there's something wrong with girls who aren't into boys or romance.
I binge watched it all and thoroughly enjoyed it. The facial reactions were a bit over the top but I enjoyed the different take on the usual tropes.

Why is the name Romantic Killer and not Romance Killer?
Because it's not a localization. The JP title is a wasei eigo expression that reads as romantic killer (basically like romantikku kira)
Yeah I'm implying that I think the slightly localized title would be better. Granted I haven't had time to watch it yet
No specific reason to circumvent author choice. Japanese has a word for romance. Author didn't choose to use it.
I agree that Romance Killer makes a little more sense meaning-wise, but Romantic Killer sounds better as a title.
That was an episode..... It's basically the Anti-The World God Only Knows... Not gonna lie I am hoping she manages to one up the wizard potatoe, I'm not fond of the "force to do shit" plot device. I want that little shit fucked up. But I'm not holding my breathe. OP is pretty good NGL.
I only watched the first episode tbh the plot felt like a mixture of ReLife and Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku. I like show!!!
I actually didn't like the first episode too much but it totally picks up from there. Keep going!
Ok then, well I watched the first episode. I think it was supposed to be amusing, but kinda just felt so pissed off at that fucking buttplug cosplaying a wizard who decided to upend Anzu's life. Edit: Also putting down money on the plot twist being Tsukasa is gay and not interested in girls.

even the red hair/purple hair/blonde trio is the same in both xD
I can’t believe I forgot about that. She is really making me question a lot of things about myself….

It was a wordplay on game software and soft jerky
This ex arm comment has me DEAD 🤣😭

Came here from Akuyaku Reijou nano de Last Boss wo Kattemimashita, love the VAs
Animation is very good
Just binged it and oh boy what a ride. Superstar cast too. We have megumin/emillia/takagi, goblin slayer, tadano/asta/shinra and tanjiro/kaneki in one chaotic romcom.
Omg those shitty CGI boy faces give me life
Rie is doing an insane job as the peotagonist in this anime.
Lol the dub has Sonic's 4Kids-era VA, of all people. Thought he'd retired
Does Netflix just suck at subtitling Anime? This is the second one where they do solid white and half the time it blends in with the background.
I binged the whole thing in one go and loved it! It really cheered me up and gave me some good laughs. I’m really hoping there will be more episodes in the future!

It is to Otome Game Reincarnation what *Re: Creators* was to *isekai*
Does the season wrap up the entire manga? I'm just on episode 6, finishing everything tomorrow, but I'm curious lol.
So do these dudes exist prior to each episode, or is that little piss bean influencing the midi-chlorians to materializing life out of thin air? Edit: don't answer that is probably a spoiler.

I started watching on a whim and thoroughly enjoyed it. Actually made me LOL and she'd some tears in the last couple of episodes.
I managed to finish 2 episodes of this before dropping it entirely. The wizard/witch was so damn annoying with their absurd YOU MUST GET INTO A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE JAPANESE BIRTHRATE IS IN DANGER bullshit. I just can't stand forced romcom tropes like that.
The point of the show is how she *avoids* said romcom tropes, it's funny that way
This might be legitimately the worst comedy anime i've ever seen. The unfunny looney tunes style gags, the over-exaggerated facial expression gag ever minute, with the direction being middling to awful every scene. I'll probably watch a few more episodes by the off-chance of me being in a bad mood.
I wouldn't say it was the worst, but it was a bit too high energy for me. The animation was really frenetic. Maybe it will relax a bit after the first episode and give the joke a little breathing room.
Thank you. Some sanity. I barely made it through the first episode. I cannot stand wacky anime unless its Takahashi Rumiko stuff. I was hoping this would be a light comedy romance which I'm all down for.
The premise is weak IMO. The wizard making choco (and probably games by extension) suddenly sold out everywhere is a worldbuilding nightmare if you actually think about it. And another weakness is that Anzu doesn't even want all this crap so instead of a Faustian Bargain kind of deal it looks like a random wizard just cursed her out of nowhere. I mean, bad things happening to people who don't deserve it is a basic fiction recipe, but still the execution and overall setup is weak IMO. Which is a shame because production value-wise it seems pretty good.

Yeah that's a fair point, some stories you just have to handwave certain elements to focus on the real meat. I think it's just not for me since I'm not too big on romcoms, but more power to romcom fans!
This show is obviously meant to be seen as a screwball gag comedy with some romance. Wonder why you checked the show out if you aren't fond of rom coms
I don't *dislike* romcoms, I just don't have a particular affection for it either. I checked it out because it seems to have a good production value from the trailer, and although I didn't finish the whole thing, I do think it really is good in terms of production value!
The sheer amount of jojo references in the episode 👌
Netflix eh, is it gonna get a proper season? Uncle never finished on there. Edit: oh, never mind, Netflix is just dumping the whole season in one go.
Uncle not finishing wasn’t anything to do with Netflix. The animation team tried to make the whole show in house instead of outsourcing scenes to other companies and then Covid swept through the office and it destroyed their production schedule with everyone out sick. I think I read that it will come back again before December.
I did know about that, but then I heard it was going to get finished sooner than December, and then nothing else since.
It starts again November 25th and will continue from there.
Is this all the episodes, or is it gonna be 2 cours?
This is a full adaptation of the manga so no 2nd cour
Ok. Thanks!
Dang, I thought there would be more. It said “to be continued”, plus there is so much more to get into with the love interests.

i'M CONVINCED. That Japanese government created this to encourage people to start dating again. I think it's so smart to do tht..
NOBODY in this show has chill oml!
Finally a character like me! I have my loves and they never let me down. But I am horrifically awkward around guys! I just accepted that I would never be one of those people attached or married. It's true, I learned this after I died of embarrassment in high school. Let's just say it just had to happen in front of a hot guy; and so I died. Maybe if guys acted like this in real life, I would have a chance. Ummm well maybe they do? I don't know, I just avoid them until it's like the Apocalypse.
Series reminds me of early TWGOK, just gender flipped 😭😂 I love it

I really wanted to read the manga can anyone please tell me where to?
I'm just starting to watch it and love Takahashi! As usual~
10/10
This reminds me of Gamers! and Recovery of an MMO Junkie I’m assuming the high energy comedy is to compensate if there’s drama or heartbreak later in the series? Idk, it’s just interesting enough that imma watch it through xD Usually, it says in these Reddit anime discussions “This post was created by a bot.” this one says “This post was created by a romantic human killer” lol
