Rent-A-Girlfriend

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
