Coxswain Balls posted:Yeah, I looked up some stuff about Rental GF and hooooo boy is that show attracting some intense incel rage. I don't know why anyone would care about what the average "anime blogger" thinks. Rental GF was super cringy for the first half of the first episode but it really grew on me when the lead girl's actual personality starts to be revealed and the hijinks ensue.

100 degrees Calcium posted:Despite the premise being a bit of a red flag, I actually really enjoyed the first episode of Rent-A-Girlfriend. The main character is an rear end in a top hat, but I feel like he's gonna have to face that down and I'm actually kind of interested in seeing how that goes. The characters over-all are very good, especially grandma. This for me as well. The first half of the episode was pretty yikes and I thought this was going to be a depressing anime played straight about how the Japanese commodify every relationship. Thankfully I was (seemingly) proven wrong by the second half of the episode.

Rent-A-Girlfriend is a story of a slow-moving disaster in the making, and I just love it.

Misfit demon Lord has been surprisingly wholesome. I thought it was going to be a power fantasy of a long dead demon Lord coming back to show the decadent descendants what's what. And while it certainly has that it's been almost entirely focused on the demon lord making friends and patching up a sibling relationship.

Kazuya and Mami are just such awful people. And the whole dynamic they have is EXTREMELY realistic. Kazuya is a pathetic guy desperate for approval by his friends, grandmother, and girlfriend. He's piling lie after lie on top of eachother in order to try and keep everyone liking him. I'm not sure if Mami is jealous or something else, but she earnestly wants to gently caress up Kazuya's life really badly and is lying to him and everyone else in an attempt to break up the fictional relationship he has with his rental girlfriend. The creators have done a really excellent job of getting you to really dislike these two. I'm looking at this show as less of a comedy and more of a drama, so there not being a lot of laughs is fine to me.

InspectorCarbonara posted:I can't believe there is finally a likeable character in Rental Girlfriend and it's the friend of the main character who beats him up and tells him what a piece of poo poo he is. You don't like Chizuru? I thought it was mainly Kazuya and Mami who are unlikable assholes.

InspectorCarbonara posted:She’s not an unlikable character, but Kazuya clearly has no spine was going to keep inventing lies that put her in awkward situations to put off saying they were breaking up (until this episode? But I’m sure that’s going to be walked back because it’s too early in the series) and it was getting frustrating that she kept playing along instead of just leaving him to clean up his mess. Maybe, maybe not. There are four girls in the OP and we've only seen two of them. I would imagine one or two of the other ones are also rental girlfriends. So she may not be saddled with his sorry rear end forever.

Julias posted:To wash the taste of piss out of everyone's mouth, how about some good news instead? (It hasn't been officially announced yet though, but has been teased by the mangaka) Not to be a downer but I'm quite concerned about another character that they might be adding if they do another season of the series. They excluded her from the first season even though she probably would have been introduced already. But it was a good call in excluding her. I don't know how you get away with excluding this character for an entire another season however since she is more intertwined and the other character stories.

I found the teleporting girl in Railgun very annoying, and I've given up watching the first season a few times because of her.

LOL I forgot about that episode. At least basically a anarcho-capitalist fantasy where no one can break the NAP because if you do so everyone will kill you.
