Without spoilers, basically every complaint that you might have about the show in the first 4-5 episodes is entirely explained and justified by the twist. Up until that point it was generic, low-effort, badly animated, with characters so stereotypical that they nearly go to the realm of parody. Interpreting it as some sort of parody cranking every ecchi harem trope up to 11 and practically eating itself was the only thing that kept me going until the twist.
Like anything else that has retroactive justification though, it's entirely reasonable that someone to feel that it's just 'not worth it' to get to the point. And that's fair. When it gets to the twist it's only contextually impressive but the actual content of the themes it's working with are relatively plain and there's any number of…

Honestly, this show deserves way better than a 6.6. I get it, the first few episodes look like your typical ecchi harem with ridiculous fanservice, and I almost dropped it too. But stick with it, because there's actually something meaningful here. Without spoiling anything, the later episodes completely flip the script on what you think you're watching. It tackles some surprisingly deep themes about AI, what makes relationships real, and the nature of consciousness. Yeah, it's not a masterpiece, but it's doing something way more interesting than most harem anime out there.
If you're thinking about watching this, please don't judge it by the rating alone. A lot of people bailed after 2-3 episodes and never saw where the story was actually heading. The ecchi stuff and generic-looking setup?…

Unhinged beginning, strong middle, drawn out ending, disappointing finale. First episodes, I thought it's as demented as FLCL or the deer girl, except sexually. Nope, it actually has a very strong story with a powerful plot twist, all the early shenanigans completely justified by solid lore. Too bad at the end the showrunners lacked the balls to give us a daring, solid, strong end, and instead went for pointless filler and teary "shouldn't have existed" and "It's better that way" melodrama.
It's much better than I thought it to be (actual solid story!) but not as good as it could be (chickened out about fully utilizing the premise).
I hope one day it gets a good remake with last 4 episodes swapped out for the epic they could have been instead.

Renai Flops is an original harem anime, which is pretty rare actually as they’re usually based on manga or light novels. The only other one I can think of is Tenchi Muyou. As such it’s an anime that tells a complete story from start to finish in one season. However, ultimately this anime is trying to do something pretty different from most harem anime, and thus it ends up getting incredibly messy.
The first episode is essentially the prologue that sets things up. The protagonist Asahi is a high school student that’s living alone as harem protagonists often tend to. On his way to school he ends up getting into lucky pervert situations with five girls, all of whom turn out to be bride candidates that begin living with him. This is about as formulaic as you can get for a harem anime. The nex…

What if Humanity fully embraced AI technology from the get go instead of rejecting it? This anime shows what the world would look like if everyone relied more on AI in their daily life. Even going as far as making AI girls for "cultured" guys. You know those AI ads about an app where you can talk with anime/cartoon girls? Well its basically that, but enhanced.
Reason I give just a decent rating, is because the MC somehow didn't question the most important and obvious things and just rolled with it, making the anime feel so slow towards the ending. The MC was stupid, thats all.

This anime is capital S Shit and the S stands for statutory this anime actually could be revolutionary my mindset has always been as long as its interesting and fun even if its bad then its decent but this anime breaks all stereotypes by being the singlehandedly most insane and most boring thing I have ever watched, bland forgettable music, bland forgettable characters, its not funny, its not interesting its like 6 hours of my life ill never get back do not watch this anime its not even so fun its bad its just dull and boring and is going to lower my lifespan by about 30 years the show seems to not take itself that seriously but sometimes it just full sends and pretends its the deepest shit on the planet and its like bruh? you expect me to take this seriously? there is unironically a scene…

The first half is like Spider-man 3, it has absolutely ridiculous scenes while then trying to pull off serious scenes that make you feel for the characters, which in my opinion is what makes it great. To go with this it has lots of actual funny lines that made me actually laugh out loud due to the absurdity of them. It plays all the characters girls very tongue and cheek as they are all the average harem girl stereotype but it's self aware in the fact and uses it to the stories advantages making character arcs around the flaws of the stereotypes.
The twist to set up the second half of the show was actually quite good considering how unexpected it was while not feeling completely random especially with how eery the set up episode was.
The second Half itself was done really well and made…

Even knowing there's a twist isn't enough to spoil this show. In fact it doesn't hide that something is amiss pretty much from episode 1. The question is can you stand the first half season before getting there. I managed to make my way through it because knowing there was something coming up to change things up kept me going. If you struggle early on try to pick up on things that don't make sense, it got me through so it might help you.
Then the twist. Frankly, the show completely changes genres and all the weirdness is finally explained. Honestly I think it does an amazing job, I've not seen another show like it. I think this show is actually more relevant now than when it came out. For reasons I can't explain this deserves to me seen.

We live in an era where the genre of 'shounen harem romcom' (yes, I consider it a genre on its own) is going extinct, alongside ecchi, so it was delightful to see a new entry released. To my positive surprise, it carries along most of the major tropes of said genre and if you are a fan of it like myself, you are definitely going to enjoy this anime. I only find it lackluster on 2 fields: a girl with proper tsundere personality and ecchi that is worthy of Rating: R+ - Mild Nudity . There IS a girl with tsundere-like properties, but... to come with an analogy: mandarine looks like orange, but it's still mandarine. I hope it makes sense. As for the ecchi aspect, for the rating the anime has, they are very shy about it. Sure, there are about 3 short scenes that kind of justifies the rating, bu…

Weird, a show that paints itself as mediocre for the twist to be "I was bad on purpose". While I do appreciate the re-contextualization, it ultimately isn't that impactful of a twist. Shame 90% will drop this show before that twist, but it is what this show is, a love.... FLOP. AHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH
Anyway, the show would be ok if it wasn't for the weird bondage, and bestiality "jokes" that smear shit on its own score. There is no build-up or anything, its just I guess the MC is getting raped by a dog, you may now laugh. I would imagine the writer is either getting off to the concept or has no concept of humor and dog rape causes him to piss himself with laughter. Genuinely was about to turn this show off at ep.1 for having the first offense.
just watch the last episode as it is the…

I sort of decided on this anime on a whim. I generally prefer slice of life comedies, so this seemed about right. The first half of the series is rather bland, but I didn't hate it. It was seemingly intentionally goofy, and I don't mind that sort of thing. All of a sudden though, things shifted in a very different direction, and I'll be honest, I don't think it was for the better. At least not entirely. Yes, the last episode is pretty bittersweet, and I admit, it made me feel something, but the overall tonal shift I can't say I enjoyed very much.
Still, I can say that this show was alright. I'd give it a mild recommendation, particularly for some of the voice acting (I watched the English dub for reference). A completely fine anime to kill some time with, but I won't remember it tomorrow.

Starting in a futuristic and sci-fi place landscape, with the high school male main character who has just woken up from sleep in a bit of a hurry, suddenly a fortune teller broadcast on TV mentions unexpected things, the main character is on his way to school, and he's meet other characters who will be in the harem, and so on... I'm also a bit disturbed by the harem scene that can be called illegal things, maybe yall saw it too but I don't know if this is different from censorship
When I watched the last episode I was very relieved, even though the storyline was unfortunate, and I think this anime is highly recommended. "As time goes on it becomes more sophisticated, in short, an AI created by humans that is programmed to make human life easier in reality, there is AI in the virtual worl…

A bizarre school harem.
This guy bumps into a bunch of random girls one by one on the way to school which results in some ecchi situations: boobs grab, underwear grab, face sitting, that kinda stuff.
There are 5 girls (including a teacher and a girl pretending to be a boy).
I dont know what they were thinking with the first episode. The main character gets dry r*aped by a dog. Not a good start...
So all these girls start confessing their love to the main character. But i guess he's the most oblivious idiot in the world since most of this just flies over his head.
And because of reasons that i wont spoil, all these girls are going to live with him until he chooses a bride...or he can just choose none.
This is presented as some kind of big moral dilemma for the main character. When it r…

This anime started off as your normal ecchi harem series except it felt rushed and was all over the place. It was almost like they mashed every stereotype of anime wifu together all sloppy like. In fact, I almost dropped it. However, the episode I was about to drop it on everything changed. Suddenly, with out saying too much, things were happening that peaked my interest, and from that point on the show went from sloppy and bad to actually really interesting. While most people would hear that it’s better in the second part and skip the first, there is some important information in the first part so I wouldn’t.
So while the first few episodes might not be that good, I do recommend you watch them through to the end as the ending of this anime is really good. It’s also the first time in awh…

The show has 2 clear halves, each with its separate character. Its like 2 different shows were made about the same story. Each half of those shows are then Frankenstein together to made this show.
First half is crazy Echchi Comedy show, infact towards the end of first half it goes as far as absurd. This half is also the worst part of this show. It has absurd pacing, absurd story, some wierd comedy scenes & absurd direction.
Second half is the sci-fi romance drama show. It is just the opposite of first half with great pacing, a story that makes sense with a cover-up of mess of first half, good direction & romance emotional stuff. This is the best part of show. Surely its not as invincible as I had mentioned about it but its still great.
Now that I have covered the story & direction aspe…

This show was in my "Hold" list for months, but I am soooo glad I gave this another shot.
The show starts off as your typical romcom ecchi/harem storyline. Imagine the standard "all the girls" like main protaganist storyline.
The show starts to shine in the second half of the season. This is where the story picks up and you really feeling that there is real depth and quality to the storyline.
The ending was super satisfying and I was soo hooked on the last few episodes.
Overall, a great watch. Don't underestimate this just because of the first few episodes. You will be pleasantly surprised later on ;)

Anime starts kind of goofy and nonsense but it aint all that. Dont drop the anime, trust me on this.
Also I need to write more soooo, I recommend you watch with tissue somewhere close by and an open mind since it does get ridiculous at times. It will all make sense later on though so try to enjoy it like what Jojo is. At this point I dont know what to tell you without spoiling anything but MAL keeps forcing me to write more - so I guess Ill give a proper review here with no spoilers. Its got its ups and down and while its not exactly the best, the references and easter eggs are great, the tropes are actual story devices and not just what the plot is (unlike some really generic ass isekai - which this one is so far from despite its apparent trashiness beginnings), and the overall story is…

Skim the first half and focus on the second half, and you'll definitely have a better experience at this show.
Of course, the off feeling in the first half is justifiable when the second half hits, but we should wait that long. This thing could even be just a movie or a few episodes OVAs with how much the actual plot are heavy loaded to the back end.
Looking back at it as a whole, there was a wonderful story in it, so I would surely recommend a watch. By the end it is a fun harem ecchi rom-com with a twist that may hit your guts like a truck sending people to isekai land or you just feel nothing and already predict how everything gonna be beforehand and just watch to enjoy the journey.

Exquisite! Transcendent! Magnificent! Sublime! Stupendous! Extraordinary! Unparalleled! Ineffable! Resplendent! Superlative! Prodigious! Enchanting! Majestic! Breathtaking! Captivating! Spellbinding! Sensational! Astounding! Unrivaled! Grandiose!
Are just some of the words that fail to fully describe the masterpiece that is Renai Flops: an anime that smacked me right in the face with its wild rollercoaster ride. It was as if I had incarnated into Chris Rock's body as Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars (sorry for using this dead joke, but you should get the idea). Oshi no Ko? Attack on Titan? Farmland Saga? Chainsaw Man? Bleach? All inferior; RENAI FLOPS is the true GOAT of modern anime.
Should you watch Renai Flops? Short answer, yes.

If you're going into this anime with a mind to see 12 episodes of pure ecchiness then you are unfortunately wrong. This anime has some of the best written characters i've personally seen which pull through so much the half baked plot they give it feels like it's been executed by the best author in japan. This anime unlike almost any anime i've watched made me cry a lot and helped to remind me of the importance of treasuring the people you care about most in life. Sue me if you wish but this is the best anime of fall 2022
