Kaguya-sama: Love is War (2019)
Shuchiin Academy is home to students from Japan's most successful and wealthy families, as well the nation's most brilliant young scholars. Among them, the Student Council President, Miyuki Shirogane, and the Student Council Vice President, Kaguya Shinomiya, are the best of the best. They would be perfect together, if not for their shared pride and narcissism. Two geniuses develop over the top and clever schemes to try and get the other to confess their love first, because to them, love is war, and the first to confess their feelings loses.

    The best rom-com anime of 2019 right now

    Kaguya-sama: Love Is War in my opinion is one of the best rom-com anime ever and a breath of fresh air into the genre that every anime fan need to check out even when the reason you know about the show is through the infamous dance scene of ep 3 that make the whole community lose their mind. The characters are awesome and well developed while the comedy is absurdly funny in a Monogatari kind of way. The two main character Shirogane and Shinomiya is no doubt my best anime couple of the season and fan favorite character Fujiwara is also a strong contender for the best supporing female character role but all my heart and support goes out to Yu Ishigami a.k.a OUR GUY because he a character that speak what on everybody mind and represent a majority of the viewer in a bad but funny light

    The Greatest thing God has put on our mortal plane

    I made my IMDB account just to review this. I usually don't like rom-coms, but I am always floored by the ability of each episode to pull at my heartstrings. This is the most wholesome piece of media in existence.

    One of the best animes out there

    I watched the first episode when it was released because I thought it sounded original and interesting. I was blown away by the quality in just the first couple of episodes. Fantastic and funny writing, characters, voice actors and amazing animation and each episode just gets better and better. I binged the manga after the first couple of episodes and the source material is fantastic as well (and still ongoing so let's hope for at least 1 more season) but you can tell the creators of the anime really but their hearts into this one. Hilarious, beautiful, and enticing I whole heatedly recommend this show. 10/10

    There better be a season 2

    The plot of the show is way too cheesy for me but the characters are amazing and bring a strong feeling of moe. The show definitely has its moments and I do want season 2.

    Amazing Anime

    It is immensely enjoyable to watch Shinomiya and Shirogane's love story unfold. The character Chika also fits into the show in a funny way. This show is spectacular, and I would highly reccomend watching it.

    • Trivia
      Ian Sinclair's version of the Narrator in the English Dub is significantly different than the Original Japanese's version, voiced by Yutaka Aoyama. Aoyama plays the Narrator Straight, as if studying the Characters in the same vein as a Documentary, while Sinclair is more playful, cracking jokes & laughing (most likely Improvisation on Sinclair's part).
