Personal stats: as of Aug 2025, I have completed 185 anime with a mean score of 7.33.
My Senpai Is Annoying score: 6/10.
I really liked My Senpai Is Annoying at first. The characters are cute, the interactions are fun, and the premise felt like it could turn into a sweet little romance. For the first half of the series, it really delivers on that feeling.
But after that, things start to lose their charm. The side characters get more story and development than the main pair, and despite the anime covering about two years in-universe, the main relationship hardly moves forward at all. Most episodes end up being the same: teasing, lighthearted banter, and cute moments, but with no real progress.
Because of this, the ending feels unsatisfying. From what I’ve read, a second season isn’t like…

I would definitely recommend this anime to anyone (and check out the manga if you want, it's also good)
I read the manga first and I cannot say that I was disappointed. I loved this anime so much, I couldn't stop smiling, and it hurt my face, then I couldn't stop laughing. Futaba is adorable and funny, I love her personality, its perfect for the scenes and it reminds me exactly the kind of person she is.
My rating: 10/10, I loved how I felt watching this and I was actually relaxed and happy so bonus points given where its due. also I love the soundtrack and art style.

The series had its moments, but oh boy, did it test my patience at times!
The story follows Futaba, a young office worker who's constantly at odds with her senpai, Harumi. Their dynamic is... complicated, to say the least. Harumi's condescending attitude and constant meddling in Futaba's work drove me crazy, but at the same time, I couldn't help but be drawn to their quirky relationship.
The supporting cast was a highlight for me - especially their coworkers, who brought some much-needed comic relief. The animation was also top-notch, with vibrant colors and expressive character designs that perfectly captured the drudgery and humor of office life.
However, the pacing felt a bit uneven, and some plot points were left underdeveloped. And don't even get me started on Harumi's infuriating…

tl;dr: A pretty great light hearted rom-com about working adults.
This anime is a very character focused show that’s mainly about Igarashi and her senpai at work, Takeda. Igarashi is downright tiny and she hates being treated like a child so she’s pretty prickly. Despite that, she’s often really childish. Takeda is huge, jolly, and really dense so he often ends up dealing with Igarashi as if she were a kid. As such, the two of them didn’t get along at all at first. However, over time they got very good at working together and got much closer at a personal level as well.
The anime isn’t solely about these two however, as it spends quite a bit of time focusing on people they’re friends with. For example, there’s a budding workplace romance going on between two of their coworkers, Sakurai a…

Cute but boring.
Futaba is a cute flat-chested pipsqueak office worker. Who gets angry when people treat her like a little kid. She is bothered by the fact that her girlfriends tend to get attention due to their boobs.
She wants to be seen as a woman by her coworker Takeda who is the complete opposite of Futaba. In that he is big, tall, loud and gentle.
Funny enough the two characters you’d think would be the main characters of a romance slice of life, Kazama and Sakurai, are the side characters.
Sakurai is the “perfect girl” whose sweet and who all the guys want. Kazama is the quiet shy guy that the perfect girl likes. As cliché as these characters are their love story is somehow much more interesting than the main characters.
It tries to be an endearing love story but the characters d…

Is it just me or do they not exactly clarify what they do for a living?
Maybe I forgot, because I started watching this anime last year and only now finished watching it. But it feels like everything they do is just vague, "Did you file that paper?" or "I have a presentation with client." stuff most anime do, trying to make it look like they do something.
Anyway, THAT bit aside, this anime is just OK. The height joked got old after the first episode, so the rest of the show wasn't left with anything else. There are no exciting encounters, no fan service, setting is just regular Japan and the relationship between MC and her "senpai" feels platonic.
Really, it feels like the writer had a loli fetish.. a loli working a serious job in drab business clothes. That's why the anime exists. Eit…

My first romcom slice of life outside of a highschool
The Sounds:The VA for each of the characters suits them perfectly and i can have no complaint here
The OP is just too good and would play it on loop for hours while the ED was pretty calming
-7/10
Characters:I think the story mainly focuses on the female lead and her friends but i like that too but i also want to see the male characters too like their past life
-8/10
The pacing felt a bit slow with the mc relationship to the point where the relationship of kazama n Sakurai felt better but still the last episode delivered
Not the best romcom but still pretty good
I would give it a fair rating of
8/10

My Senpai is Annoying (Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi) is an entertaining slice-of-life anime that will leave you with a smile on your face. The story revolves around the workplace relationship between two co-workers, Futaba Igarashi and Harumi Takeda. Futaba is a hardworking and determined woman who takes her job seriously, while Harumi is a carefree individual who often gets in Futaba's way. The show follows their daily interactions, as they navigate their professional and personal lives.
One of the most charming aspects of this anime is the dynamic between Futaba and Harumi. Despite their differences, they develop a sweet and genuine friendship/relationship that is heartwarming to watch. The comedy is also well executed. The animation style is vibrant and colorful, with a playful and…

I'm not gonna say much about this, as it's basically a standard rom-com, but it's fairly well written and had me laughing every episode. I am however very sensitive to anything embarrassing when it comes to romance and social interaction, so there were frequent small breaks while watching, and I really had to man up to get through most episodes. That isn't a bad thing, it's just how I react, and a kind of trigger warning to others who suffer badly from second hand embarrassment! I handle it with taking breaks and watching alone. All the main characters are likeable. A second season probably won't happen, but an OVA to wrap it all up would be great. Don't think I've spoiled anything by saying that.
Well worth a watch.

You searchin' for some watch while eating anime? You got the right one right here
In fact I have watched all of it while eating and loved every second of it. What I liked the most though was the idea and the cute aspects of this anime.
If you like some romance but a bit different than the usual, this is perfect.
The music was good, decent. To be honest with you I have forgotten everything about it but at least I do not remember anything bad!
And the art was great I really love the lineart and colors that are around recently. MAPPA, Doga Kobo and TMS are good at this, so great job.
To conclude this I recommend this cute anime! It's short and overly enjoyable, the characters are truly endearing!

This show had a lot of wholesome value but I’m a little disappointed there wasn’t really any development between either couples. By the end they’ve all kind of accepted, “I like them, they MIGHT like me but I’m not sure” but then did nothing past that. Kazama gets a leg pillow and Igarashi gets to share an umbrella. I love slice of life with a dash of romance but this just didn’t do it for me. The main setting of working in some vague office and writing vague business proposals just wasn’t all that engaging, I’ve seen it done way better in other media. And again, the “romance” was underwhelming.

Massive height differences in relationships like this are pretty funny on the face of it. Futaba is a cute protagonist who just can't help getting absolutely mogged by everyone around her and most of all by her based gigachad of a senpai. This absolute unit towers over not just the short girl of the office, but just about everyone in Japan with his massive 6'2" frame... just Japan things.
Senpai isn't just imposing physically, he also has a massive presence and loud personality that just dominates any room he's in. His laugh probably shakes the windows every time it's belted out, which is frequently as his affable personality tends toward finding most things humorous. Hence the title of the show. Of course Futaba is only annoyed in the tsundere sense where she actually likes getting teas…

Its a shame that this anime is really just a father and daughter relationship figure type rather than a romance between Futaba and Takeda. The only thing that makes it an actual couple are Kazama and Sakurai. And even if that couple exists, They’re not much of a main character, which makes it really fall short for an anime that is about romance. Nevertheless its a decent anime to watch with ok storyline and fine art, just not really amazing from what I can tell since you can see that I gave this a 5.
Now, I would only give plus points if they made Kazama and Sakurai as part of the main character since they follow the format of romance for this anime, hence the anime’s genre says its about romance, not only just Takeda and Futaba. It will only happen if the second season comes out hell ev…

At a glance, the anime is a light breeze between those isekais which are all about fighting and killing (meh) in its airing season. But when we actually look more closely, its charecter development was not so good, if not poor, this anime or its manga is somewhat like series of short stories with same charecters rather than a complete whole story (you can easily notice this after 1 or 2 ep/chap of manga/anime because they are actually not much related to others). Why I still give it 9 out of 10 because each short stories was really good and they are all absolute joy to watch. Being a collection of shorts do mean that this anime has literally no drama at all, just sweetness and comedy so not recomended for those drama-heads but definitely do for those who just want something to enjoy.

This anime had me smiling the entire time I watched it. From the moment it began to the moment it ended, my face bore a massive grin.
The art was nice, nothing over the top, but it was there when it needed to be.
The story is exactly as described: a slice of life. Watching office co-workers interact with each other and see the intricacies of their relationships was nice. Everyone in this show was connected in some way or another just as the same as real life.
Overall, I would give this anime a 7.5/10 because it is exactly what I asked for: a slice of life with a side of romance.
This bears resemblance to Ore Monogatari. This is because both entertain a special relationship between a guy that is massive and a female lead.

If you are looking for a relaxing funny romance anime 'My senpai is annoying' is what u are looking for.
The story is setup in an office where the protagonist of the anime Futaba Igarashi works with her senpai Takeda harumi.
Futaba is a very small woman that is a lot of the times mistaken for a little girl.Takeda however is a big guy.
Even though they are completely different from each other as the story goes on the bond between the 2 becomes stronger and stronger.
The anime is truly amazing and enjoyable and its honestly one of the best romance comedies out there.

Okay, one thing first, I don't hate the show. I think it has some solid moments and it can be cute and wholesome.
The thing that bothers me the most is the pacing. No matter how likable the characters are, there is barely any progress. The main couple just stays in the same pace as the beginning for twelve episodes long. Yes, there are some moments they become a little bit closer, but they just revert back and it gets annoying and boring to watch.
The dude is supposed to be annoying I guess, hence the title, but the way he just keeps seeing her as a child is getting old and I'm sick of it.
Little rant: also getting sick of this trend how some people seem to think every girl when they become a woman have big boobs and are tall. Bodies don't work like that. Stop thinking that every small p…

Some spoilers.
This show had real potential, and was really endearing at first. But a show like this walks a fine line, and this show very much seems to purposely step over that line.
When you have a show where a male character depicted with the body type of adult ends up in a romantic relationship with a character that has the body type of a child, you need to need to need to make sure you do not have any pedophilic elements to your story. A great example of this is Ore Monogatari, where there's no ero fanservice, no inappropriate relationships, and it's generally sugary from the top to the bottom. And this series sets itself up in the same light...at first. Then like an arrow to the heart they had this ending illustration depicting the young boy character clearly naked and in a very se…

Question, Are you short?, Are you skinny?,Are you cute?(dont get your ego inflated plz)...Well then this anime is just for you! If you aren't any of these things, it'll still be a fun ride. I wont keep you for long so let's get going
Story:9/10....This is not a complex anime, this isn't Narnia, this is a Slice of Life anime. Cute girl,works in office, has senpai who annoys her but she likes, the end. If you love Slice of Life, this will be a walk in a park.
Art:7/10....It's good and adorable for an average SOL, it's nothing to write home about because SOL almost never are going to have GODLY animation like Demon Slayer. There are some moments though that I almost questioned what anime I was watching (In a good way)
Sound:6/10....It's forgettable TBH, but the music fits the mood durin…

So, I've been growing up watching rom-com anime and I enjoyed most of them. As a teenager, school rom-com were my bread and butter and I felt like I could relate to them. All the insecurities, the pining, the overall sense of not fitting that supposedly falls apart when you meet the "right person". I was a late bloomer romantically speaking so fiction was my only way of experiencing romance for quite some time. For the longest time I felt quite satisfied with the anime offer in that department.
Growing up though, I started feeling a little disconnected from the school anime scene. Makes sense, right? I was growing out of the target age. And now I'm an adult (well, I'm trying my best to be one) and I'm in a long term relationship.Watching teenagers making their first attempts at love might…
