Salah satu anime romance yang LUCU BANGETT, bener-bener ngegambarin haluan para orang introvert di dunia wkwkwkw. Hal yang mustahil terjadi di kehidupan asli tapi yaudahdeh, full season bener-bener nyeritain Kubo yang ngisengin Shiraishi sambil ngejalanin cerita mereka berdua selama sekolah, bikin yg nonton selalu ngomong whennyahhhhhhhshshsh.
Alurnya kaya romance biasa yang nyeritain keseharian mereka dan hal-hal lucu yang mereka lakuin, dari Kubo yang iseng sama Shiraishi yang polosz. Romancenya ga cringe sama sekali karna ga berlebihan, ekspresi tiap karakternya juga dibuat lucu jadi selama nonton tenang banget dan enjoy ama cerita mereka bedua. Grafiknya menurutku pas aja untuk anime kaya gini, ga kurang dan ga berlebihan jadi seru juga selama nonton, adegan romancenya juga bisa…

When you look at the title, cover, and genre, what do you think this show is going to be about? Yes, you are right: this show is a simple, lighthearted romance between a boy and a girl.
This show is pretty good at delivering cute and lovable scenes in every episode without relying on trauma, crazy characters, villains, or misunderstandings. Even though both main characters are stereotypical shonen romance characters, there is nothing exaggerated about them, like making the girl the most popular girl in school or making the boy cringe and dense.
Every character in this series is somewhat basic but lovable. Shiraishi, Kubo, her sister, their friends, and Seita are all easy to root for, and they never become painful or boring to watch.
I have seen comparisons between this show and Teasing…

Ok here it is. This anime is AWFUL.
It has no redeeming qualities. In fact, it has negative qualities. No one should ever watch this anime.
It could be okay for people with autism or something I guess, but that's pretty much all.
So first of all, there are 0 serious themes in this anime. Not one thing that can be considered 'adult' in any way. Characters, tropes, ideas, situations, events, conversations - anything and everything that is presented in this anime is from the most basic, surface-level feel-good perspective. There is nothing of substance to be found here for a human with any level of maturity, and by that I mean teenagers.
If you are already 13-14 years old, there is no other way to view this anime except as absolutely childish.
So then I must assume the target audience is ch…

This anime mainly focuses on the friendship between a boy and a girl, with almost no romance involved. However, if you're wondering how they truly feel about each other, it's still uncertain. At least, there is some progress between them.
As you watch, you might find yourself smiling from time to time and constantly hoping for something to happen between them, just like in a typical school romance.
Their relationship develops enough to bring the two main characters closer together. It starts with one of them being curious about how to talk to an introverted person, and eventually grows into casual interactions filled with jokes and everyday conversations.
It's still worth watching.

Anime romcoms follow a formula, with only a few exceptions. Is this one an exception? We don't know. Here we have something a little bit like "Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro," and a bit like "Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out," and like those we don't know if or how it will turn out, This season has a cute and bittersweet ending, leaving us hoping for a second season while fearful that the second season -- if there even is one -- will advance things rather than so many anime, who spend the second season treading water. We want a second season that at least makes it to the silhouetted kiss with the festival fireworks in the background. We want to follow then a bit longer, but we want them to take us someplace, too.
The opening song in all but the last episode is sweet and wistful. Enough, per…

We need to protect Seita-kun at all costs.
That aside, this is pretty good anime if you have nothing to do and/or want to watch something stupid yet insanely cute and light-hearted.
Though MC here is literally the worst MC I've ever seen in my life, the rest of the cast are balancing him out pretty good. Especially those cute pouts by FMC. But MC here is actually not that M as a C, he's just a walking joke to build the world around him, yet he does his job pretty well (at least for me) despite being sometimes way too dense or straight up annoying with his dumbness.
All in all, it's a good anime to give you a feeling of warmth and overdose you with it's cuteness. Just don't expect some serious romance or drama - you won't find it here for the reasons listed above.

The 12-part love anime Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible unfortunately offers more of the same. The premise is charming, but the execution remains conventional.
Junta Shiraishi is invisible to everyone: he doesn't stand out in class, he's constantly bumped into on the street, and in stores he's only noticed when he throws his goods on the counter. But in his new class there is a girl named Nagisa Kubo who keeps “discovering” him and befriends him.
The usual stories unfold from this constellation. Unfortunately. The rest is then unfortunately just familiar flirtations, without the relationship really growing or surprising us.
Nagisa is of course really cute, always scoring points with funny faces – especially her pouting face when she puffs out h…

This is a guilty pleasure show, where you are looking for a romantic slice-of-life to see in the mellowest setting possible. Nothing crazy happens in the show, which very much mirrors the goal... this show is entirely carried by Kubo for 100% of the run time. As a character, her endlessly pleasant attitude elevates the show, and all other characters, out of literal doldrums.
Is there a greater point: absolutely not. Sometimes having a nice time in the moment is all you need. Think of Kubo as a reminder of the people who care about you and are willing to support you, no matter how you feel. Be well!

There are a lot of anime that feature high school protagonists that have little to no presence. However, Shiraishi in this takes that to a whole other level. People won’t notice him even if he’s literally right in front of them. When he’s in a photo, even if people are specifically looking for him in said photo, they still won’t be able to find him. His classmates view spotting him as a rare event that brings about good luck, even though he’s never missed a day of school. It’s downright supernatural. With that said, this isn’t actually that important. It’s played for comedy quite often, but it’s pretty much the exact same joke again and again so it gets kind of old. Beyond that his role in the story is pretty much the same as any other low presence protagonist without anything that uses th…

Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible
Rating: 7/10
You know that feeling when someone actually sees you—not just glances at you, but truly notices you for who you are? That’s what Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible captures so beautifully. Watching this show felt like a warm hug, one of those experiences that leave you smiling even during the quietest moments.
The story revolves around Junta Shiraishi, the kind of guy who fades into the background so effortlessly that he’s practically a living “Where’s Waldo?” game. And then there’s Nagisa Kubo—bubbly, charming, and just the right amount of mischievous—who decides that she won’t let him disappear into the shadows anymore.
My Experience Watching It
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I started this anime. I figured it’d be another generic rom-co…

Seriously though, this anime - Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible is a gem! Kubo's adorable face and smile have me swooning every time.
The show's premise is so relatable - who hasn't felt invisible at some point? But Kubo sees Shiraishi, and she's determined to make him visible to the world. I love how the show balances humor and heart, tackling deeper themes like loneliness and self-discovery. The characters are well-developed and complex, with amazing growth throughout the season.
The animation is stunning, with insane attention to detail. And the soundtrack? Perfect!
If you haven't watched this anime yet, give it a try. Trust me, you won't regret it. It's a hidden gem.

What I love about this kind of Romance-Anime is its ability to crossover both fiction and reality. Kubo-san won't let me invisible is a straight forward anime as the title implies. We are introduced to a beautiful heroine named Nagisa Kubo and a main character that chooses to be a side character named Junta Shiraishi, through Kubo-sans persistent attempt of talking to Shiraishi we are introduced with this lovely series. Truth be told, if you've watched plenty of romance anime some elements will be repetitive for you, however I do believe that this series has its own charm. Growth is the essence of this anime, throughout the series you can just casually ignore and have fun watching the two main characters' interaction and call it a day, but if you critically watch the characters their growt…

Super fluffy and cute romance about a boy without any presence taken over the top like he can tap someone in the shoulder and they would have no idea and a girl that see him and can make them see him and lot of innocent teasing.
The art is a 10 and op and ed are bops all around their is no third wheels and all the characters did their jobs. Wholesome!!!
One of the best romance that i have seen.
I literally have no idea what to write the concept is straightforward and simple i just need to extend this review to upload it :cries:
The story is a fluffy romance and is predictable and I enjoy it for that reason.
Good art slurp

I have never seen a show so uninterested in itself. Like genuinely this show is so unenergetic. Like with most shitty anime rom coms, the issue is it’s too energetic and it gets annoying. But this shit had me dozing off. Like Kubo is supposed to be this tease who messes with the protagonist, the cheeky one y'know? But even she seems sleepy. I don’t know if it’s just the acting or what but everyone sounds so bored. This is the most white bread anime I’ve ever seen. I’m not even sure if I finished it, not gonna lie. There was a weird hiatus when it was coming out where they only released half the season before taking like a month to release the rest. Like they just forgot to upload it. And honestly, nothing could be more in the spirit of this show. It’s like an asmr video kinda. They make jo…

Teasing Master, Kubo-san.
Between all the slice-of-life high school romcom’s about cute popular girls poking and prodding lonely, insecure and gloomy protagonists out of their shells that you’ve probably watched in the past couple of years, I wouldn’t blame you if you looked at Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible and thought “Yep, that sure is another one of those”, which it is, just to clarify.
However, just because it is “another one of those” doesn’t mean it’s not good, and the central gimmick of the protagonist, Shiraishi is such a nothing nobody of a background character that he might as well be invisible to the people around him, to the point where his classmates believe he's an urban school legend, is very funny and the show gets a lot of mileage out of that premise.
Of course, the o…

The Romcom genre is one of the most exploited genres to make a quick buck: Introduce the worthless MC, pair him with the best girl of the school and stuff 24 minutes with overused tropes. You give it a cute artstyle to hide the subtle imperfection to trick people into thinking this is quality. Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai is an example of money that can be used elsewhere.
I'm a person who speaks from the heart, words are not my thing so please, bear with me on this one. All romcoms have their MC stand out on one thing and our little guy doesn't shy from his features: he's invisible. Junta Shiraishi leads a very quiet life with his "curse" of being invisible to everyone; they don't notice him on his classrooms, they don't see him buying stuff...even on his school photo the poor dude was l…

Story: The plot is basic, its about a boy named Shiraishi, who struggles in being noticed by people to the point he's invisible, but his life is slowly turned around by Kubo-san who is the only one (excluding her sister and cousin) who can see him, thus developing a friendship/romantic relationship throughout the anime. I'd say that the anime isn't that memorable compared to most animes I've watched like ngl, I easily forgot how the first episode went until the later episodes. There isn't really anything special about it besides the basic wholesomeness that isn't really heartfelt.
Animation: The animation is very good, I love how the art shifts from the normal drawings to cutesy chibi artstyle all throughout. The movements are also good.
OST + Opening and Ending: The music is decent, bu…

Objectively bad,
The whole premise of the show revolves around, the main (background) character, being invisible.
It ridiculously stupid, i mean, seriously its really stupid, maybe if the setting was in some fictional world with idk magic power or something like that.
Personally i found this "main point" being nothing but a hassle.
The "invisibility" is basically made as an excuse to why the love interest a.k.a the cutie would even dare to look at our MC.
She basically got the power to actually spot the guy, and she is basically the only one capable of that,
so she is intrigued by him and his superpower or super curse.
It also was attempted as an "gag" moment jokes, but in my opinion most of them are just cringe.
Whatever, you see what i get at, the romance is kinda bad, if you are for…

Rating: 6/10
This predictable anime full of sweetness but also frustration. While the anime showcases adorable interactions between its two protagonists, the romance element leaves much to be desired. The lack of significant romantic development throughout the season can be a letdown for those seeking for deeper connections between the characters.
And speaking of the characters, Kubo's portrayal feels one-dimensional, lacking the depth needed to make her truly stand out. Her sole purpose seems to revolve around following Shiraishi, leaving her with little individuality or distinct traits. Similarly, Shiraishi's character seems to be dull and boring, which stays consistent and unchanging from start of finish. Additionally, his obliviousness to Kubo's super obvious crush remains an ongoing…

Overall the pace is a bit slow but good for those who like slow pace. It's a rom com which much lighter than Skip and loafer or Yamada-kun level 999 or any other rom com this/pre season. Most people kinda like the chemical in between the two male and female MC I finds the female MC acted more like a desperate little bitch. The only thing she is likeable because of her soft spoken and well because she is the MC as well.I think the reason I finished watch the anime til the end it's bcuz of Seita kun ( the lead MC little brother) and the jpn voice acting skills that's all
