Yeah, it’s watchable if you just want to kill some time.
This show is the kind of anime you start expecting absolutely nothing from, only to finish thinking, "Well, that was an experience." It’s not exactly bad, but it’s far from anything I’d call special. It’s generic from start to finish, packed with tropes you’ve seen in dozens of other rom-com anime, yet it manages to be reasonably fun and does a good job of passing the time.
The story is pretty wacky. We’ve got vampires, aliens, werewolves, basically every supernatural creature the authors could cram into this high school. The premise revolves around the protagonist discovering the secrets of the girls around him, and the comedy builds on those absurd situations. It’s not exactly a new concept, but the sheer variety of creatures man…

This is an anime which plays on the uncommon traits of multiple species, an unassuming protagonists, and a little bit of sci-fi and sorcery to give an experience which is rather something that only occures in some select anime. Anyways our cast is diverse by that standard of several species... and our protagonist has a couple of traits missing to be desired and whether or not the can or are being established in this anime is something to be up for grabs in this field. Not to spoil, but there is at least one that is fulfilled.
Note that this anime is highly playing on a clique of a harem which is something that wmay dismay those lookign for a rom-com or a vampire-tagged anime
Thus the rating of this anime should reflect the lack of certain qualities but approved of the flow.

If this anime were released today, it would be one of the best.
It perfectly balances romance and comedy. The premise is simple but effective: a boy who is in love with a girl who is a vampire, and they become friends while trying to hide her secret from everyone. The characters don't feel forced, and the voice actors are very good. The music in this anime is incredible, although unfortunately it hasn't been officially released, and the animation is very well done. Sadly, there won't be a second season, although I would love for there to be.
I highly recommend this work, and especially its manga.

Man, I'm so glad I stumbled upon this anime! I remember seeing a reel on Facebook with this adorable moment between the main character and the heroine, and I just had to add it to my watchlist. And yeah, it was definitely worth it.
The storyline isn't exactly groundbreaking, but there's something about it that just works. Maybe it's the lovable protagonist, Asahi, who's just so bad at hiding his feelings. Or maybe it's the fact that the girl he's crushing on, Yuuko, turns out to be a vampire (which, btw, is just the coolest twist!).
I love how the anime balances the humor and the heartwarming moments. There are some genuinely laugh-out-loud scenes, and the supporting cast is amazing - especially the ones with their own superpowers!
What I appreciate most, though, is how the anime doesn'…

My Monster Secret (Jitsu wa Watashi wa)
Rating: 8/10
Every once in a while, you come across a rom-com that doesn’t just make you laugh but also warms your heart. My Monster Secret is exactly that—a delightful mix of supernatural chaos, endearing characters, and wholesome romance that kept me smiling from start to finish. It’s quirky, it’s funny, and most importantly, it’s unapologetically sincere.
The Premise: Refreshingly Absurd
The story follows Asahi Kuromine, an ordinary high schooler with a not-so-ordinary problem: he’s terrible at keeping secrets. When he discovers that his crush, Youko Shiragami, is actually a vampire, he promises to protect her secret. But things don’t stay simple for long as more supernatural shenanigans (and secrets) pile on.
It’s the kind of premise that sets…

A romance anime that initially delivers a slightly different proposition. A boy who doesn't know how to lie discovering the secret of a vampire in his class.
During the anime more secrets of other characters are presented, and until then the anime was very fun. However, from episode 6 onwards, the plot begins to decline and what was fun in the anime began to take a backseat.
The introduction of some characters from episode 6 made the anime quite disappointing with the direction it took, along with its ending, which opens the door for a second season, but does not bring the feeling that the story has arrived somewhere.

Have you ever heard of or watched the famous Twilight? It's a serious romance story between a human and a vampire. If there's an opposite version or vibe of it, I think this is the one, but seriously hilarious.
So this anime was part of my getaway animes since 2015. Jitsu wa Watashi wa or Actually I am is a supernatural romantic comedy show about a love story of a human and a vampire. I just found this anime somewhere on google, and seriously, I didn't regret a bit watching it. Heck, I watched this anime numerous times and I never get tired of it.
The story was somewhat cliched. It's a story of a timid, yet honest boy named, Kuromine Asahi. He was known as "the leaky basket" by his friends and classmates because he can't keep a single secret. He's 100 percent honest. Even his secret that…

Your typical go nowhere harem, just trying to use strange characters as part of the harem to make it interesting, and failing badly.
Where we normally have one clueless male typically as the MC, instead we have a bunch of clueless people, all in love with the same guy, and sometimes a is trying to help b, or b thinks a likes c.
It's obvious and see-through who the show wants someone to be with, as the comparative air time, Though the characters are a bit unique, there is no depth to them, they are generic in thinking and it gets boring quick and is easy to get frustrated at the characters stupidity.
The story is poor at best, with so many times, characters give away the secrets about themselves when trying to allegedly hide it and if they do this in a short spell, imagine a life somewhe…

It's a fun show to watch, but that is really it. There is no deeper dive into what could be potentially a better series as the show misses its mark.
Specifically, the characters have basically little to no depth to them with so many side characters all of them have no back story or anything. Even the main characters their back stories are not touched much really it's enough to get an idea, but I didn't find very much value from them. Along with best girl, Class Rep, while she probably had more air time than most her story is barely touched on. It overall felt the characters were rather lacking in making them have their own personalities and characteristics enough for them to stand out including the main characters.
The biggest different between this show becoming another average school…

Here is an review about this anime, I kinda enjoyed this show but for some reason the the second half of the anime is kinda ok the anime has its fine comedy and the romance. The anime has its own way of saying "i love u " lol. the anime has good animation and the mc is kinda lame but the way he is amusing and fun to watch. so over all the anime is good to watch. The anime is fun to watch, it made me laugh many time for a short time and the dense girl is always dense in all the anime. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

This show had potential to be a 7. Unfortunately, it ended at a 5 for me. Be warned, there will be mild spoilers throughout the review, and at the end I'm going to spoil something about the ending, but if you don't want to waste your time like I did you might want to read it. I wish I knew this information when I started.
Story: 6/10
The story is decent. It's all in the MAL summary; MC has a crush on a girl (Shiragami, Youko), only to find out she's a vampire. It's revealed in episode 1 (and the MAL summary) that Shiragami made a promise to her dad (also a vampire) that if her being a vampire was discovered, she'd have to go home and end her high school life. MC promises to keep her secret if she doesn't go back home, and in this exchange he friendzones himself. The MC friendzoning himse…

It is an entertaining anime like few others but very cliché where it introduces you to the protagonist who falls in love with the co-star and you see if it can be declared at some point or they can end up together I saw the end of the manga and I would have liked to see it in animation but I left the The end of the anime is fine but I need more romance.
En español:
Es un anime entretenido como pocos pero muy cliché donde te presenta al protagonista que se enamora de la coprotagonista y ves si se puede n declara en algún momento o pueden terminar juntos vi el final del manga y me hubiera gustado verlo en animación pero dejo frio el final del anime esta bien pero necesito mas romance.

This review is coming from someone who has read the manga, and let me tell you one thing, this anime adaptation of the manga absolutely shits on the story. If you haven't already, please read the manga, it's a little rough at the beginning but if you stick through it you get a amazing romcom. Anyways onto the review.
Story - 4
The story is well, if I had to put it in words, decent. I would have probably given it a 5 or 6, but one thing ruined it for me, and it's how they changed the source material so much (they didn't even try to follow the manga at all on the last two episodes).
Art - 6
Honestly the art is pretty good, if I had one thing to say about the art is the character design. The character designs look very different from the manga which I'm fine with but these character des…

Anime adaptation of an ongoing anime series...the most recent volumes are still in pre-order status as of this writing. The series is basically one long advertisement for the manga and viewers should not expect a 2nd season. It's a reasonably entertaining generic monster girl harem show. The main character is a milquetoast, bland audience self-insert character whose main flaw is he stinks at keeping secrets and people can read him like a book.
The tension in the show is he is forced by circumstances to keep the "special" (supernatural, etc) secrets of MULTIPLE girls at the school. And this Zero is a Hero because he's secretly adored by multiple girls...who each have their reasons. The girls's sincerity is honestly the most touching thing about the show. They feel DEEPLY for this guy and i…

Jitsu wa Watashi wa (2015)
First off perhaps a bit controversial who knows and who cares. Best girl is Akane the horned demon girl. She is cute, sweet and sadistic.
The show is a harem style comedic romance that has some great attributes. Firstly, the girls realise the harem lifestyle cannot happen so some push where others don't. Although it exists it is not blatantly obvious to the male lead. Secondly, although the male lead is oblivious to the most obvious advances by most of the girls he is also very set on a single girl throughout the show regardless of the past.
It is nice to see one that has a harem in a more realistic format but would be better had the lead been not so dumb.
The art of the show is very nice and the art is consistent throughout the show. The OP skirt flick is…

If you are romantic comedy fan like me -or even if you are not- you might have wondered what happens when two dense people fall in love with each other...
The answer is simple: Jistsu wa Watashi wa or 'Actually I am' in English. This anime provides the EXACT answer to the question above- oh by the way it is an adaptation of a manga by the same name. Weird beginning? Check. Semi-introduction? Check. Informative information (doesn't have to make sense)? Check.
Oh well I think I should be able to start reviewing now.
Story 6/10.
Since you probably already the story, there is no need for me to try your patience and time rephrasing it.
It is gonna take a better fanboy than I am to lie about the greatness of this story. It is no great at all. Basically Asahi (the guy) finds out the secret of…

Jitsu wa Watashi wa is a romcom about a boy who sucks at telling lies who discovers his crush is actually a vampire and he needs to keep her secret or she'll be expelled from school.
(some spoilers)
The plot is novel enough since as the story progresses, more and more of the MC's classmates are revealed as being more than human. The preppy classroom rep is actually a small alien in a robot suit, the photography club leader has magical glasses possessed by the god of luck, the principal is a 500 year old devil and a transfer student is actually a gender shifting werewolf. While there are some interesting ideas for characters, the actual plot itself doesn't really utilize them to their full potential. If you ignore the supernatural aspects of the story, you're left with a fairly formulaic…

(Disclosed in this review will be a SPOILER-FREE section, and a SPOILER-HEAVY section, in that order. If you'd like to stop at the SPOILER-FREE section, go right ahead, if you want to keep trucking along, feel free to.
Let me start off this review by breaking down my feelings of this anime into a simple description:
This anime is pretty much a mediocre reverse Rosario + Vampire, where the monsters go to a human school and it's THEIR secret of being monsters that need to be kept secret, especially the main love interest, who is a bubbly, ditzy vampire girl.
Now that that's out of the way, let's get on with the review proper.
STORY: (I *will* be describing the plot for the sake of highlighting an element that I feel went unused)

Quick Summary:
This anime is a pretty standard paranormal school romance/ecchi comedy series. It does not do quite enough to stand out from the rest, but it has enough character to not just feel like a carbon copy. Enjoyable, if you find the genre enjoyable, possibly underwhelming or disappointing if you don't.
Story: 6
Boy meets girl. Boy is dense, girl is dense. Harem are attracted to his ineffectual, yet kind ways. Hijinks ensue. You've earnestly seen it all before, perhaps better, but do not let that keep you away otherwise. While the story definitely taps into ecchi waters (The Were-person character), I actually think this series is a little sweeter than it is perverted (although, again, it is that too). The story is rather lacking in most senses, it's just a light school romance a…

The anime itself is good with nice characters and light-hearted story. The comedy is top notch, The romance is just good enough. At first, I didn't want to try this thinking this is a harem (Really dislike that genre), and thought this was just gonna be a typical harem. Well even though it doesn't have a harem tag, it is indeed a pseudo-harem if you can call it that, but this does have character development. Unlike a lot of harems, the main pair is the main focus even after the other characters are introduced, in a lot of harem anime's, The main pairing/main focus which the whole show is centered around is just forgotten. Also unlike other harem anime, there are not too many love interests, I mean there are quite a few but not a lot like 7-8 like the other shows.. Also, the MC's devotion t…
