Make Hiroin ga Ôsugiru!

Okay, I'll admit it... I went into 'Make Heroine' expecting your run-of-the-mill rom-com. But man, was I pleasantly surprised! This show sneaks up on you with its quirky humor, lovable characters, and relatable storylines. I found myself actually feeling for these girls, you know? The pain of unrequited love, the struggle to confess... it's all so real. And that main character? Totally neutral at first, but slowly wins you over. The friendships, the drama, the FEELS... it all adds up to a show that's way more than the sum of its parts. Only complaint? That ending! Left me hanging, man. Need. More. Episodes. 8/10, would def recommend.

I have to admit that I didn't expect such care to be taken with "Make Heroine ga Oosugiru! The graphics, animation, character design and direction are incredible! The level of detail in the visual storytelling is astounding. Some of the exchanges between the characters take place not just through dialogue, but through what they're doing in the background. You literally immerse yourself in following the adventures of our protagonists.

Humour, love, drama, suspense, with lots of nods to other works.

This is the kind of anime that reconciles me with Japanese animation, because it's so sensitive, mature and exciting all at once.

A wonderful series to follow over time.

Another high school anime, with its typical festival episodes and such, where, on this occasion, the protagonist befriends several girls thanks to their heartbreaks.

The male protagonist is quite bland and reserved, while each of the girls has very distinct and well-defined personalities.

The best part of it is the humor, although it's mostly concentrated in the first episodes and gradually decreases over time.

Good production, with character design that is slightly above the average level of the genre. The sound is also noteworthy, as it helps enhance the comedic moments.

Entertaining, but it's not going to go down in history as one of the best animes.

I went into this expecting nothing. I put it on, on a whim but I am so glad I did, I love the unique twist on an otherwhise stale genre. One of the only anime to actually make me laugh. I don't think this would be good for new anime fans as alot of the comedy relies on knowing about the troupes of anime - specifically romance. The animation is amazing, A-1 at there best with this. I love the characters and the contrast between the main two. I can't wait to see more and I hope it keeps up the same quality throughout the season. I'm not sure how to describe it but I really like the soundtrack it just made me feel a lot more involved in the characters.

This anime series is centred on Kazuhiko Nukumizu, a high-school boy who describes himself as a 'background character', and various female friends. He is a somewhat reserved character and the girls have one thing in common; Kazuhiko has witnessed them being dumped or rejected by boys. Over the course of the series he tries to help the girls in various ways.

I thought this was an enjoyable series. On the surface it looks like yet another harem show but it manages to do things differently. Rather than the typical stereotypes the characters and their issues feel real which gives in emotional heft while still being amusing at times. The character designs and animation are of a high quality. Overall I'd definitely recommend this to fans of the genre; when it was over I was left wanting more.
