Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie

It's a wholesome anime which follow Shikimori, Izumi and their friends in an high-school setting, the anime revolves around the relationship between Shikimori and Izumi. Izumi is an typical unlucky boy type who has a pure heart and always tries his best while Shikimori is his girlfriend and tries to be cute but always comes of cool while helping Izumi.

It's just a wholesome anime and you cam just pick any episode and have fun watching but fair warning that it's a typical romcom type theme even though the traits are flipped and pretty shallow if we try to go too deep into the plot. But all the characters extremely likable and it rarely feel like a drag.

It's waifu season, and this is exactly what "Shikimori-san is not just a cutie" delivers. The protagonist is your regular everyday normal guy haunted by hilarious bad luck where literally everything he does goes wrong in hazardous ways - to an extent where he wouldn't even be survivable on his own.

Fortunately (and miraculously) he landed Shikimori-san who's pretty much awesome in everything she does: cute, kind, athletic, smart and a tiny bit jealous. She's immortally in love with him, goes out of her way to please him and keeps him safe from all kinds of harm.

Seriously, half a season into this show that's all there is. There's a small ensemble of side characters with some exaggerated traits whose purpose so far has only been to make Shikimori-san appear even more awesome and desirable. There is no coherent storytelling, no character development of any kind and generally nothing you need to understand or keep track of. If you're looking for a shallow feelgood story that will cater to your waifu fantasy then you're gonna have a good time with this show. If you're looking for something more serious or deep though, then you aren't missing out on anything here.

I watched this anime and it's very good and heartwarming which contains a simple love story no complex drama and the nature of true love which makes this anime mesmerizing .I want to request the studio(Doga kobo) to produce its second season. Tis anime explains the form of pure heartwarming love and how a couple stays and it's very different than all the other animes and it is very basic that I personally liked about this anime. Second of all the design and the voice of the characters are very good and the shy nature of both them suits in the anime well and this anime needs a second season. Gud.

Usually when you get a great anime like this with well drawn characters and good animation. As well as acting and a good love story with a side quirk. It can be a home run!

However... the problem with this anime is the characters are already together yet they exhibit the affections of children that are just friends. It's obvious they're soul mates and madly in love yet they won't even share a kiss?? I know they're in school so I'm not expecting them to goto pound town or anything... because then it'd be more realistic. To find something of love and in between can still be wholesome.

6/10 for what it is. Not bad and worth a watch. Just don't expect anything super emotional.

The best thing about this anime is there is no serious romantic drama , just a sweet love story and supporting friends, if u want to watch a simple rom. Genre anime give it a try.
