    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.

    Amazingly Hilarious

    This anime is definitely the best comedy anime for this season it's a living meme

    Hilarious, Cute, and Excitingly Over-The-Top

    Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is an unconventional romance that is funny and cute with a lot of hilariously exaggerated scenes that add to it's already brilliant premise of two narcissists trying to get the other to confess. It's a great comedy, and a cute romance. And this show's narrator is just a joy to listen to. Backed up by quality animation and voice acting, it's a really good time. I also highly encourage anyone who likes this show to check out the original manga, which delivers on the same clever humor and cute romance, but also tells a more cohesive story instead of being more of a slice of life type of affair

    One of the most beautiful animes ever! Redefining the romcom genre

    If there's an anime that is hilarious but deep, then this is the one! Love is War is one of the most unforgettable animes ever! The love/rivalry between Shinomiya and Shirogane is a hilarious and entertaining story, and the animation is just incredible! Even the other characters, Fujiwara and Ishigami, are so well fleshed out and they just make me laugh my head off! Season 2 is also an absolute blast, and introduced a new character, Miko, while fleshing out the original gang! This anime never fails to amaze, and it is definitely one of the most iconic animes of the recent years!

    The Tsundere leaders

    Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya are in love with each other. However, they don't want to confess it as they think doing so would hurt their pride. They cannot also resist the feelings for each other and always long for each others' attention. They have to try their best not to give away even a slightest of the hint and instead desperately try to plot wicked schemes so as to try to make or force the other person to confess first. They believe whoever does so first would lose.

    Overall, the anime is hilarious and it's obvious that while discussing this anime, you won't discuss its storyline. There is no room for such discussion. Instead, you would discuss about some of its iconic or hilarious scenes. The season 1 was out and out a hilarious one. The season 2 is hilarious too but it has some very serious moments, which could make you contemplate about your own life. Sometimes, the narration and some random situation is exaggerated and you might feel bored but most of the time, it's a good laugh and you would enjoy watching it.

    This show has some very funny and intense characters. Its not difficult to figure out that both the main characters Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane are typical Tsundere. In fact, one of them could even be a flag bearer of this era of Tsundereness. Among the supporting characters, Fujiwara Chika is an airhead and she is there mostly for the comic relief. The one character who literally stands out is Ishigami Yu. A kind of an introvert, with whom any Otaku could relate and the way his character was developed in the season 2 was amazing. You cannot help but feel proud of him. The new character Iino Miko isn't much into romance or comedy so far but just like Kaguya and Miyuki, she too has an habit of overthinking. Hayasaki Ai too cannot be ignored. She is one hell of a maid.

    The anime has some amazing theme songs and they really suit to this kind of a theme. Out of those, Chikatto Chika chika is easily the best song. Although, appeared for only one episode of season 1, both the song and the Chika dance are classic and unforgettable.

    Is this anime recommendable? I don't know. In this case, a lot would depend on one's preference. I have enjoyed this anime and I have rated it accordingly.

    • 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).
