Ahh, the last time I laughed out loud at an anime this hard was Kamichama Karin.
When telling my little sister to watch this show, I said it was like if Gakuen Handsome's animator and Gokusen's script writer came together and made an anime. For those of you that have no idea what that means, imagine if the animator said, we're going to draw this as if we're all in middle school, but we're going to give it a decent story and good character development.
This anime had something unique about it that is something only Mob Psycho 100, Kamichama Karin, and the first episode of Daily Lives of High School Boys have really achieved for me, and that is the parody aspect of the show. You're expecting a trope, it doesn't happen, and instead the show makes fun of it. All those jokes landed for me an…

Murai in Love's biggest shortcoming is its name. Had it been called "Murai in Slides," I think it would have garnered more attraction.
Because that's what it is - a slideshow. Now, is it a very funny slideshow? Humor is subjective but yes, Murai in Love is hilarious and if you argue otherwise, you're objectively wrong.
I don't know the story behind this anime's development - whether J.C. Staff simply took away money from production to fund other shows, or if the crew were blindsided by the $10 budget assigned to them. Whatever the reason, they chose to play to their strengths and make this intentionally crappy, and the result? Very funny.
The "animation," so to speak, consists of characters sliding around the screen instead of walking because the staff knew they couldn't fool us intell…

This is one of those animes that you'd want to watch to have a palette cleanser.
It is a typical romcom backed-up with easy motion animation that would relax your eyes from all the hyper animated animes.
This is a refreshing twist for someone who wants to have a little outside of the box animation. It is funny, simple, and super relatable.
Having the main lead be in love with his teacher yet no matter how much he goes for her, rejection is inevitable with the reality of their ages and social standing. Alas! despite of it all, he still pursued being loyal to her and giving his best to not go over boundaries with her.
Such anime are gems to be kept at heart. I loved how this is light and fluffy for me.

Its been a while since I watched something so romantic and realistic. I was drawn to it after I watched the trailer or short clip of it somewhere which was totally random. Before this encounter I had no idea about the existence of this one. Once I watched the trailer I was hooked and I wanted to watch it for the comedy as I though this was one of those comedy series. But turns out this was more than that, it was truly a masterpiece.
I was not expecting this kind of story after watching the first episode. Since the animation quality was low and it didn't had a lot of animation but more like still frame motion capture thing (forgot what its called). So I was only looking for the comedy in this because animation was like this but it gave me that kaichou wa maid-sama feelings so I was hooked…

Short and simple review.
1.Domestic girlfriend but with a good ending.
2.The premise may sound sus but it turned out good. I think it's satisfying. See it for yourself.
3.One of the good example of not to judge an anime by it's animation. (Seriously, it's just moving stickers but it was so damn fun to watch)
4.the characters are really fun and bright. The decisions made arent bad enough that i can recall it as I'm writing this
5.comedy works for me.
6.dialogs don't suck, made the anime watchable - The english dub that is.
7.fmc is so pathetic and yet so adorable at times. I wish women actually exist though.
If it had good animations though, i could see this anime getting like 7.95-8.15 star or something.

It's surprisingly bland for how popular and recommended it is. In fairness, I'm not much of a romcom slop enjoyer to begin with, so I'm probably somewhat biased against the genre. Very little occurs, and the stuff that does occur doesn't feel earned. The substance of the show is also further diluted by the numerous detours to follow various other characters, some of which were more interesting than the main pair. I also found Murai to be somewhat unappealing (both visually and as a character), which I thought would resolve itself as the character is developed through the show, but nothing ever happened to change my initial impression. The show would probably have been more enjoyable had I been or became more attached to the main characters. Once again, I'm somewhat shocked at how well-rece…

Honestly, this is barely an anime.
I mean, sure, it technically qualifies, but the animation is… well, let's just say I’ve seen flipbooks with more frames. It’s not really my thing, but I have to admit they made the most out of it. The style can be a little jarring and sometimes hard to follow, but despite that, I had an absolute blast watching it. The story is simple, yet it works, and the comedy? It’s been a while since I laughed out loud multiple times in a single episode like this. The characters are all likable in their own way, and their interactions never failed to entertain.
The opening is kind of a bop. I usually skip openings because I’m impatient, but this one actually got me to stick around a few times. The music and visuals fit the show’s vibe really well. The ending theme i…

There are better romance anime out there, there's no shortage of them. And most of them will look better than Murai in Love, without much effort.
This anime sometimes runs out of things to say, and starts throwing random things at you. Yet this tantrum is always entertaining. The back and forth that goes between any set of characters doesn't lack wit, and is never superfluous, I'd rewatch it for this alone, as there were times I felt some things were over my head, though the dialogue can get kind of weird and sort of robotic.
You've read the premise and the story only goes a little further than that, but it manages to surprise in the end and have meaningful character development. What we learn from the characters by the final episodes is also impactful and recontextualizes the narrative.…

I have to admit, I was sceptical at first. The animation style feels more like a slideshow than a fluid experience—but surprisingly, it works. The premise wasn’t initially my cup of tea either, but man, was I wrong!
If I had to describe this anime in one word, it would be: WHACK.
From the get-go, Murai in Love had me laughing. The humour is spot-on, and I found myself chuckling consistently throughout the series. The intro is incredibly fun and unique, immediately grabbing my attention. The characters are well-developed and surprisingly likable, making me genuinely invested in their relationships and growth.
One thing I especially appreciated was how the show maintained a lighthearted tone without resorting to uncomfortable moments—something that can sometimes plague rom-coms. The pacin…

If you're into quirky, heartfelt romances with a splash of hilarious antics, Murai in Love is an anime that deserves your attention. What really got me hooked was how much heart this series packed into its story, and the unique dynamic between Murai and Ayano kept me glued until the very end.
Murai is such a lovable character. His devotion to Ayano isn’t just superficial—it’s driven by his genuine admiration for her kindness. The flashbacks reveal that Ayano once stood up for Murai when he was being bullied, leaving a lasting impression on him. Fast forward to high school, and Murai's determination to win her over is relentless. When Ayano casually remarks she doesn’t like guys with long hair, Murai doesn’t hesitate. He chops it off and dyes it. Little did he know, this makeover would mak…

If you like animes with great animation and quality in the lines then you can go watch something else because you won't find that here, the animation is sloppy and not well done but for the purpose of the anime it works perfectly, the plot starts like a It's a kind of romantic comedy and as it goes on it deepens until it reaches its peak and calls into question what is really true and what isn't, there is a small reference to domestic in kanojo but I believe few people must have touched it , the comedy is great and you get angry several times during the anime, the characters are charismatic and even the antagonist manages to be a cool guy, if you like kaguya-sama style anime, watch this one because it's really worth it

NOTE:-let me say this first it's not for those who like fast paced things and its also not for those who only sees with eyes but also feels with them ,
CREATIVITY next level they use those things that probably anyone in this entire anime industry have ever tried and it fucking works and slaps it even when they have very tight budget.
MUSIC for music i have only one thing to say its PERFECT the choices of songs and the main music of murai i have fallen in love 10\10.
The CHARACTERS firstly murai my murai is the main char? because he knows how a 17 year boy should act he don't act over smart as his ages they feel like they are real living human beings who are in the same same universe as us plus the the voices match them perfectly.
RECOMMENDATION:- I'll definitely 100% very very much re…

Dont judge an anime by its animation, thats what I learne from watching many animes, and that statement applies to this anime very well.
Many will probably be skeptical of the animation but its what makes the anime fun.
Get past 4 episode and judge it all you want.
(I wrote a really good review and while I was submitting it I got disconnected and lost it, it hurts more than my ex leaving me)
I dont have the patience to write one of the same level, but I think it won't do justice for this anime if I don't write a review which may encourage ppl to watch it. It deserves that.
1. Animation:
Slide show at its peak, really the 'fun' element of the anime.
Dont judge it unless you completed it.
10/10
2. Voice acting and sounds :
VA is the best going for this anime…

This anime is a really great hidden gem. I think it's definitely worth a watch for its unique characters, humor, and surprisingly deep moments.
Pros:
1) The biggest and best thing about this anime are the supporting characters. They break the stereotypical archetype of the Japanese beta male and have characters that aren't the biggest losers you've ever seen who have never even spoken to a female and get bullied by everyone including the mailman. These characters are... normal. They aren't the class losers, they've dated girls, aren't afraid to be tough or even physical, and talk like normal kids their age (they don't struggle to form the most basic sentence like most male characters in anime that are basically the lowest form of beta males who need a 30 minute internal monolog before th…

I know why you are here. You probably heard some imbecile call this anime atrocious, or maybe the art style gave you the impression that this is a “so bad it’s good” hidden gem. A good candidate for that drunken watch on a Friday night, right? It couldn’t be further from the truth.
The plot is nothing unusual for a romcom: high school boy falls in love with his teacher but she has a dark secret (is addicted to the 2D world), so he tries to emulate her favourite character. As with any comedy, the quality relies on whether the author is able to deliver fresh scenarios and jokes before the audience is able to predict the outcome in advance. As this is the case here, highlighted by a bright cast, this paragraph could end right here with a succinct positive recommendation.
But this is not the…
