I cannot be indifferent about this one because it wasn't the usual romcom anime I was expecting at first. One reason I generally like anime as a medium is that it can always surprise me. Just the sheer amount pumped out every year makes it certain there is an evolution going on and when you think you have seen everything then comes something new suddenly. (I skipped like 15 years so the contrast is shocking me.)

First of all, Rent A Girlfriend is not a romcom. It's a drama. It does start as a comedy but it turns into a sad social caricature pretty soon. You know that overused and luckily, now overprogressed exposition when the loser guy accidentally gets the best girl fall for him or many of them for the matter. Well, this show looks at that topic and just laughs at it and says, no. Chizuru - as a cold headed professional as she is, going out with guys for money -, would tell you with a straight face, not at all, what were you thinking? Maybe, just maybe, you can enjoy her company for a short period, if you pay enough. Is it cruel? On one hand, it's just an escort business, where the girls are called 'talents', on the other hand, I really felt sad for the poor losers to the point where I felt uncomfortable. Even though, it is fantasy, this approach definitely was the selling point for me, I was bought for the rest of the show.

About the rest of the show, there were some great moments and some annoying moments. The script is well done and was given some thoughts for sure. There are some missteps, like how easily the girls can be found on the Rent A Girlfriend site by anyone by their names. Some scenes - unfortunatelly a complete episode -, were pretty disturbing which is not an issue in itself, but those were unnecessary too. Kazuya, the male lead, is portrayed as simply just too stupid and childish, a bit annoying to be honest, but not unrealistic outright.

On the other hand, besides the situation and the script, I really liked Kazuya's relationship with his friends and how they supported each other; they had some strong moments. Some criticize it, but I also think, Mami's character (Kazuya's ex, dumping him in the very beginning) and role were realistic and important, especially in the last episode of Season 1. Her standpoint is completely valid. Other than that, there is not too much fan service, filler episodes, school scenes, cooking/walking/slacking in general. I dare to go as far as to say that with small modifications this could easily be a western script. As I have heard a live adaptation is also coming, which I see totally feasible. (There are some filler episodes, indeed, like the one with the Sumi girl, I don't know, maybe it will be important in Season 2 or Season 3 coming in July 2023.)

UPDATE: After watching through Season 2 I've came back and lowered my 9 to 7. After a promising start it actually turned into a romcom and a bit annoying one. Particularly it's Kazuya, the male lead, who is annoying to the point it's getting all the female leads into humiliating situations constantly. All conflicts are built on his inability to decide and communicate his intentions straight. This show's strongest point is definitely the ladies. All four of them are likeable, cute, sexy, sensible and well presented, in itself makes the show worth watching; that's the selling point and the script only exists to support that... I really hope there will be a positive spin in Season 3 because it's just getting boring. (Or negative spin for the matter, because it's just stuck. Hachiman or even Yukinoshita would just kill this guy in cold blood...)

This one, oh boy. It is about Kazuya Kinoshita who is about to enter college only to discover that his girlfriend Mami dumped him after dating him for about a month. Distraught over that, he discovers a rather shady app where he can rent a girlfriend. So, he ends up meeting the seemingly perfect Chizuru Mizuhara. After their first date, Kazuya, despite knowing that this was a job, grows suspicious of Chizuru and gives her a low rating. Which makes her angry.

To make matters worse, Kazuya's grandmother collapses and she has the misfortune of meeting Chizuru, so they have to keep up the facade a little longer.

Characters. Kazuya himself isn't really likable. He's a pushover who everyone throws shade at. Everyone, including his own family. He can't stand up for himself; he's pretty much a loser. I get him wanting to have a real relationship, but as Chizuru pointed out to him, what she did was her job. That outburst in episode 1 was really unnecessary. He's borderline insufferable as a leading character. But a lot of that is intentional, so I can't really completely blame him for that.

The other characters are hard to really "like." Chizuru herself at the least is shown to at least see that while Kazuya can be foolish and an idiot at times, there are at least some good qualities about him. It is also good on her part that, while she is overly critical with Kazuya being the doormat he is, she does assist him with upcoming the visage of a relationship. She even stands up for him when Mami was talking smack about Kazuya. Which perfectly segues to...

Mami. Oy vey, Mami. What can I say about her? Out of all the shows I am watching this year, she is hands down the worst character in the show. On the outside, she looks bubbly and friendly almost like an angel. But on the inside, she is an utterly petty borderline sociopath.

For starters, she finds herself insanely jealous of Kazuya and Chizuru's "relationship" despite the fact that she herself dumped him in the first place under the claim that she met someone else she loved. It's her actions that led to him finding the rental app and yet she wants to destroy the (fake, but she doesn't know) relationship between the two because she cannot stand that Kazuya appeared to move on after her. She is a manipulative, verbally abusive young lady who tears Kazuya down with her words. While the show treats him as a punching bag, nothing about what she says is funny as not even the other characters humor her for it. Worse, she even forces Kazuya to apologize for her when she gets called out for her actions.

The worst part of her plot had to be when she was trying to tempt Kazuya when Chizuru was in a position where she likely would have died had it not have been for Kazuya's quick intervention. This just goes to show how much of a ruthless sociopath she is where she does not give a crap about whether someone lost their life because of her. Unlike with Chizuru where she has her own softer side, Mami doesn't have anything remotely redeeming about her. It's really because of her presence that the show feels especially cruel and I'd think that it would be better if she was written out. Maybe die in a car accident or some freakish scenario. She is trash plain and simple.

The friends of Kazuya are mostly one-note except for his childhood friend who does acknowledge that there are some good parts to Kazuya's behavior such as his determination. Kazuya's family...don't like them. His grandmother to me comes off as especially bad partially because of her trying to dip her hand between Kazuya and Chizuru. She has that snooty attitude as well which also makes her hateable in my eyes. Otherwise, characters are hit or miss.

Voice work is also fine as is the animation. It isn't amazing by any means, but it services the show well. Comedy is hit or miss because it revolves around the misgivings of the MC and if you don't care for that kind of humor, it can come off as painful.

I think the anime itself is awesome, but the fact that Japan actually has these is very sad. Japan isn't exactly the best place in the world, along with the birth rates it just makes me kinda sad.

The anime itself is really good, i love the characters and the story, but one minor thing that is really enoying is the superman-like glasses/no glasses thing. like, how they dont recognise her? but, any way, its such a little detail in an awesome anime that it doesnt really matters.

This anime havent been character improve. If you watched anime, main man character contradicts himself in the anime and that stuation so bad for Audience. A few woman character Consistent have it. But other woman characters Fillid the screen and get wasted time. This anime havent another man character. And very different from what he does and what he says,I talking about men character. The male character is so bad that there is no time to criticize anything else. Everything is so contradictory. I think this anime so cringe. I understant someone why watch this anime. But I have to say, this anime Bad even for mid-level. It has some gritty scenes but that's it. No further than that.

Its New story and really amazing from every thing i love the chrecters and the draw is amaizing to its from my top 10 this year

The MC is dog. He was given so many opportunities to get the hot chick. But he crumbles up like a little baby. But it was still a good anime lmao. Apart from the MC.

I haven't really read the manga but anime is awsome! Very funny and really unique! Keep you gripped in its pace and many scenes can be really relatable! Must watch! For me it's age rating should be 16+.

Rent-a-girlfriend is a really honest anime. It is cute, relatable, and engaging. I did not mind it but honestly it struck me as a little frivolous. I have seen many reviews saying it is not for you if you like serious storylines. However, there are some moments of sincerity that even a comic story needs which only makes it human. So many moments for me were destroyed simply because the backing track changed into something comical and the expressions too. As light-hearted as it is supposed to be, a little realism here and there would've only made it better.

Kazuya is THE WORST. If the characters were in junior high THEN this would make more sense lol. The characters are in their 20's and act like immature kids when it comes to romance, and it get VERY annoying. Like Kazuya rents a girlfriend Chizuru, and then can't distinguish whether she is his actual girlfriend or not, even when he's paying her? Like come out of it. He's in university, he should know what's what. He has moments of clarity where I'm like "ok good, he knows what's going on" then a minute later something VERY subtle happens and he's back in his dillusion again, really makes him off putting and not want to root for him at all lol. If they didn't have him as such a dork with no common sense and more of sensible guy that gets put into the same scenarios with Chizuru but genuinely knows the situation but later on falls in love, it would have been a lot better than putting up with his antics. I gave this a 5/10 only because of Kazuya, as the anime itself was good as I've seen much worse but like 2 little tweeks and a personality change and this would be in the same league as Horimiya.

This show is actually really wholesome and opens up alot of angles/perspectives on love and relationships.

I'm looking forward to every new episode, the good bits are really consistent

The was Really Not Clear And Up To The Mark Would Need 2nd Season fot it

Rating: 2.5

All the the girls are cookie cutter dere types with the exception of Chizuru. Sumi is a dandere, Ruka yandere, Mami is just bad for the sake of being bad (nobody knows why she acts likes a sociopath). This wouldn't be an issue if there dere types weren't their largest character trait. The MC even in the manga is extremely pathetic. His baseline was so low that his character dev in the manga was just him going from from a pathetic pervert, to a normal simp. The show's artstyle is clean and the plot is decent (update not decent it's repetitive 80% of the plot his Kazuya fawning over the girls), but I can't give this a pass because the girls are cute. It's mediocre .

"Absolutely loved Rent-a-Girlfriend!

The characters are so full of life, and the emotional rollercoaster kept me hooked till the very end. The mix of romance, comedy, and drama is just perfect. Every season made me feel something new, and I can't wait for Season 4!

Highly recommended for anyone who loves emotional yet funny romantic anime."I didn't like the first 4 or 5 episodes, but The next episodes are so good. I like the anime so much that I can't explain it. I want season 4 of this. In the end, I just want to say that anime is amazing, and I love it. Best Anime !!!! Amazing story, lovable characters, perfect mix of romance and comedy. Waiting eagerly for Season 4 !!

As the title suggests, this is an episode about borrowing money from your girlfriend. In Japanese culture, there is a word called "papa katsu". Instead of paying money, you go on a date with a man or woman worth the money. Of course, the more money you pay, the more sex you can have. First of all, this story is about a man with a strong sexual desire who wants to have a girlfriend. But does the woman keep approaching the main character? When it comes to a man's charm, it's just ordinary. Ordinary isn't the problem. A character who likes you when you save him, or a character who likes you even though there is no reason, or a character who gets jealous after you break up... It gets worse as the story goes on. So when we look at this work, we only feel jealous. But the production company continues to release series. That was also our goal from the beginning, using a famous voice actor.

Isliye veri good anime to watch it is very relatable to me and I know if you are girlfriend have ever done do you want to love the show I can easily relative it it's character they are very good development but the drawback is that there been introduce many girls and it has not been developed as mizohara is done like we have another strong female lead ruka she has very less screen time but when you was she got the screen time she always prove that it is worth the give her screen time sumi is she is also good but she targets the majority of the introverts momi I guess more character development is necessary over all a very good animated watch it can just give you the pleasure of feelings and I can bet if you are if you are watching the show so you will say at last it was about the to watch it but I think in season 1 that moment when he proposed her was the perfect to end it but in season 2 when I watch I guess no the story must be more so season 3 is coming I will be another review with the season 3 but I have to say it it is very good haram anime with comedy joke human and everything you accept from an funny anime plus.

Plot: this is where this anime lacks. This season seamed a sort of an introduction that leads the characters to find their feelings. The point around witch this story spins is very weak.

Animation: The best part along the drawings. Very well done and smooth. A lot of compliments!

Drawings: The best part along the animation! They are very well done, defined and easy to follow. Moreover the choice of the colour is stunning (or at least I found it very amusing). Tons of compliments!

Conclusions: the technical side of this anime is literally high level but it really lacks in the plot with a lot of back and forth and some absurd or nonsense scenes. Chizuru is the only grown up here. I expected more moral stuff about using girls as rental or something like that, but at the and girls are quite depicted as objects.

Honest speaking chizuru mizuhara is the best girlfriend someone could have, na na let me rephrase it, chizuru mizuhara is the best life partner someone could have. Like a ideal of how a elegant girl should be.

And then male character Kazuya Kinoshita, fro crying out loud , don't get it wrong, he is doing his best but still, have some courage, he is taking things too long, but maybe it for every plot twists to feel just right. But still the determination of Kazuya can be seen without any abstraction. He maybe he is just a pusssy sometimes but still he never gave his back on anything. He is a type of person who will stay with you when you ever have left yourself.so yeah he might not be the best but he can give the most important thing to have a happy life and that's all someone should appreciate.

The only way I could do that was if you wanted me too I could come and pick it out and then I can go pick up it from your place or you could just pick me out of there or you could pick me out from the store or you can just come pick me out or you could go to my house or you can pick me out if that's what you're going through or you just have to come home or you don't need me and then I'll just pick you up from there I guess but you don't have the time to go to the store and pick up and get you and then you could come and go to your moms or something or you could go to my house and pick up your car wash my truck and go get the kids are going home to go to work.

This anime is good not bad but yes you can say that the plot is not at its peak it is a bit slow and also the animations like Mami and others were annoying I personally like this anime but must improve the characters.

Rent A Girlfriend is a funny and cutely romantic show.The anime theme is new ,the characters have been animated beautifully and has some wholesome slice of life moments.While its funny watching the protagonist get himself into a new mess before cleaning the previous , it is also gripping and emotionally engaging in a way where you want him to confess his feelings. Definitely one of the best anime of 2020.

While everyone else is over here demonizing this show for showing a protagonist who is hopelessly perverse and a morally dubious topic, I'm just over here loving every minute of this adorable but ridiculous anime.

Rent-A-Girlfriend is a popular Romcom anime that revolves around rentable girlfriends, who can be instant friends for a day. The protagonist, Kazuya, finds himself in a situation after being dumped by his first girlfriend. He and his rental girlfriend Chizuru fall in love, but they get caught up in an awkward misunderstanding that leads to them faking a real relationship and lying to their friends and family. The anime is criticized for following similar structures and plot progressions, but Rent-A-Girlfriend stands out with its unique "quirky" gimmick. The protagonist Kazuya and Chizuru fall in love, but their relationship is a misunderstanding, leading to a misunderstanding and a lie from their friends and family.

Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the story is really simple aside from the gimmick. The show plays out very much how you would expect. There are awkward and humorous moments shared by Chizuru and Kazuya. Other girls enter the scene to provide some comedy and drama, including Ruka, the short-haired girl who is incredibly dedicated and Mami, the home-wrecker disguised as a lady. Additionally, there's this girl named Sumi who appears in the second-to-last episode. I felt that the directors made a strange choice to incorporate her at such a late point. It was interesting to see Kazuya's two pals and grandmother unexpectedly involved in the story.

The fact that Rent-A-Girlfriend made me cringe so many times is certainly its most unusual feature. It came to the point where I had to remind myself that it's just fiction and that I didn't have to feel this way multiple times when I actually had to halt the show. You know what's hilarious, though? Actually, I thought this strategy was good. It added a little more flavor to the show and was obviously intended on the part of the author. That has to be a plus, right? I mean, I cared enough to actively cringe and experience moderate discomfort anytime Kazuya did something dumb, which was probably every episode.
