Review By Kamal K
dreams and goals you wanted to achieve when you get older. The anime tells the epic adventure it took our MC, Tomoya Aki, to achieve his goal of creating a game, complete with all the girl problems, and sexual harassments he receives each day from his devious co-workers.
While I was scrolling through the notoriously long new anime section of an unnamed website "how to raise a boring girlfriend" caught my eye, then I thought to myself "better take some notes." At first glance Saekano looks like an average rom-com anime, and being your normal rom-com lover I decided to give it a try, and let me tell you I was definitely in for a treat. Saekano is one of those anime's that you just can't get enough of, not a single episode has left me without tears rolling down my face from laughter.

Again.... Harem genre.... Ad same sadness ..... Why our boy(MC) choose her.. Why not the other one... But in the end it is what it is.... So can't say anything on this... Cause this is very contradictory..... Anyways.. This whole series is very good and interesting...... But be prepared for the last few episodes ad the finale movie as that is very .....see I'm not against why tomoya choose megumi but he has the better option than her.....megumi is also very kind ad good person but those two utaha ad ERI were too good...especially ERI who always loved him right from the childhood days......(if i was the mc then I would probably go for MICHURU)...If u guys have seen OREGAIRU then u can understand what I'm trying to tell..... Good luck.

Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend - where do I even start? I went in expecting a generic rom-com, but what I got was a beautifully crafted story about creativity, passion, and finding your purpose. Tomoya's journey from a bored otaku to a driven creator resonated with me on a deep level. And Megumi? She's not just a 'boring' girlfriend, but a complex character with her own struggles and growth. The supporting cast is equally lovable, and the animation? Stunning. I laughed, I cried, and I cheered them on. If you're looking for a heartwarming, inspiring anime, Saekano is a must-watch. 10/10 recommend!!
(9/10) Not your average harem anime, a story about a group of creatives, their muse, and the journey to create a story so stunning it redefines a genre. This anime is full of moment that will put you on the edge of your seat eager to see what happens next. The combination of the characters snide remarks yet the the ability to put everything aside for a freind makes you feel like you're there with them making their ups and down that much more impactful.
As the fledgling game development team works to assemble itself and the dating sim they are creating, the in-universe characters discuss the many tropes the game is following, trying not to overuse, or outright violating. At the same time the viewer gets to enjoy the characters paralleling those tropes in their own lives. The show occasionally leans on or breaks the fourth wall and lampshades what it's doing as part of its thorough audit of popular anime tropes.
Expect to laugh all the way through Saekano, and to interrupt your own linear watching by replaying scenes multiple times, so as to fully enjoy the layer cake of entertainment.
Note that episode zero serves as an out-of sequence introduction to all the characters' fully developed personalities and relationships - couched, of course, as an in-story discussion of how to best introduce the characters in the game they're working on.
Do yourself a solid and be sure read the lengthy TVtropes page for this anime only after having fully watched it once, unspoiled. Spotting the many subtle references and jokes for yourself is a big part of the fun.
Brilliant work, through and through.
