Kawaii dake ja nai Shikimori-san

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.

Shows vulgar side of anime industry where they keep on adding intimacy to the shows focusing on fan service this show is pure Gem so profouding and no hate no fan service and vulgar side like other it gives so pure and simple chilling vibes.

(10+) I think a younger audience would appreciate this show more than I did, primarily because I could not see one reason the incredibly beautiful, talented, popular, intelligent, and (apparently) super powered female protagonist would do anything but scoff at the male protagonist. Harsh, but he seemed pretty darn average in most respects, AND he also had the absolute worst luck in the world - so the FMC is always stepping in and saving him! Yes, he was kind and upbeat, but it was just a bridge too far for me. Still, if completely mismatched couples are your thing, you'd probably like this!

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.

While the setting is nice, the characters have about 2 personality traits, even though the show is all about them. This is the case in the anime and manga. It's bland and unentertaining. It's not worth anybodies precious time.
