Romantic Killer

Dry humour, entertaining situations with occasional fluff, and vibrantly expressive animation all combine to make a highly entertaining meta-parody on romcoms and dating-sims.

Being ace myself, I was especially interested in the series' premise. I was pleased to find out that the protagonist is likeable (whose voice actress has impeccable comedic timing), and that the show lives up to its premise without falling into overdone "fanservice" clichés that anime is infamous for.

The last three episodes shifted in tone rather abruptly, from a previously comedic setup to a quite tense dramatic one. Nevertheless, I found these well executed. My only big annoyance comes from the final episode's lack of commitment: instead of having a satisfying answer to "will she, won't she", we conclude with the status quo unchanged and a teaser for a (possible) second season.

Such a gem here. Really wasn't sure at first but this sarcastic take on rom-com's is actually hilarious plus in the end we still get some romance like we all want. I am rooting for so many outcomes and I pray that Netflix renews this for a season 2. There is still so much source material they could do. Plus it was left open for more scenarios for a few more seasons. If you like romance, romance comedy, plain old comedy, slice of life type things then you will adore this anime. Just the humor in it was so effortless and I found myself binge watching it over two days. Even my grumpy husband was excited to see what happens next and shipped her with a certain guy. Too good. Keep them coming!!!

This was sort of a mixed experience for me. I did find many scenes funny but the show is a bit unsure about the emotions it's aiming for and the conclusion doesn't feel earned given how serious they made certain matters.

First of all I really liked the main character. Her character designs during comedic sequences were hilarious and Takahashi Rie did a great job voicing her. I think friendships between all characters are nice too. The plot of the show is that a wizard comes to this introverted girl and says that she's selected as a test subject to help her in her romance developments. Naturally, this girl retaliates and that too in a hilarious manner. So this show is at its best when it's a romance parody.

Obviously, with a plot about affecting romance in your life using magic, you don't expect it to get emotionally serious since it won't fit at all. But, from time to time it gets serious and that doesn't work since obviously the romance feels forced. And I'm not a fan of love-triangle drama either. And then the final 4 episodes completely changed the tone into some very serious matters, which felt sudden. And though it's good that they explored a few backstories, if you've seen enough animes you have probably seen the same backstories done before. And after they establish these very serious problems, the way they end them doesn't feel very convincing.

Highly recommend watching. It was fun and engaging and honestly couldn't ask for more! The main character is really entertaining and it flows well with the rest of the show. Also the animation style is perfect and adds to a comedy in an unexpected way. Although a lot of the characters are clique due to the characters premise they all were endearing in their own way in the end. The show also managed to always keep me on my toes switching up and adding in new comedic moments I didn't see coming. I honestly really hope that there is a season two because in anime we rarely see this type of show so I hope this sets a new trend.

It took a few tries for me to get hooked to this and I ended up enjoying it.

It was too predictable but I ended enjoying because the plots got a bit more deep and emotionally twisted.

I liked the female lead and how she literally behaves the opposite of most of female leads. She just runs away of any romance moments and she keeps being loyal to herself and her personality. I enjoyed how caring, strong, faithful she is, putting friendship always first and standing strong against injustice.

Very short and enjoyable to pass the time, now I am sure it will have more seasons so I hope they are also fun.
