This anime's overall message to its young female audience and its fetishization of mlm relationships was concerning and annoying.
CHARACTERS: 2/10
Every single romance option (aside from Asuma Mutsumi) was EXTREMELY shallow. They only wanted Serinuma because of her weight loss. Not a single one of them truly cared about her feelings, her hobbies, or her overall personality as long as she stayed thin in all the right places. There are so many moments in the show where each of the love interests do things to court Serinuma at her own expense. None of them were all that likable. (aside from Asuma Mutsumi) Serinuma herself was a flawed characters. I get this is to poke fun at the fujoshi community but she was still disturbing. Definitely not saying women have 0 right to enjoy mlm media as I…

reverse-harem "Insatiable" with an assorted cast of: fiery bimbo, bland dudebro, chad self-insert, raging fujioshi genderfuck lesbian, and a goofy useless twink.
so many harems and isekais have cringy self-insert protags and this isn't an exception but at least it's self-aware enough to make fun of it. it's just mindless dumb fun for the girlies and the boys actually serve really funny BL fanservice while having some cute genuine moments between them.
most of its humor is akin to Earth Defense Club's, so if you enjoy that kind of extreme parody self-aware riddled with shameless fanservice vibe, you'll love this one.
pay no mind to the annoying in*els that are too hard on this anime because the protagonist is cringe and then turn around and call Accel World an underrated masterpiece or…

Save yourself some time and don't watch this.
I've never seen a more delusional fantasy written by someone who probably lives on a basement and is a social outcast who has never interacted with men or women that are not fujoshis, not to mention consent is probably something this person doesn't know about either given they seem obsessed with yaoi and yuri to an extent i guess.
The only pasable characters in this whole anime are Senpai and maybe Igurashi.
Expect a lot of fetichizing gays and dub/non con/sexual harrasment.
The character development (when there is any) is terrible, i don't think i really got to like most of the characters in here. The caracters are just really bland and their backstories are equally lame. Voice acting was pretty mid, some were irritating at points (cough M…

I hate this series so much, I cannot believe that the rating is so high. This story is just gross and fetishize-y, I feel gross just thinking about the main character behaves. Her entire personality is fetishizing MLM relationships, shipping her classmates, and being the definition of a fujoshi.
Even if I look past that, the characters are just boring, and the only decent character is that one dude who isn't a total asshole and liked the MC before she was 'prettier'. The story is just your typical harem anime with gross behaviour from all characters.
The one scene that really pisses me off is when the MC gains her weight back, and her motivation for exercising is seeing two guys hold hands and interact. It doesn't feel right, it's so off-putting watching a girl be so obsessed over the…

First off let me say how horrible this anime was. I cant believe i sat through 12 episodes in a discord call over the period of about 2 weeks watching is absolute flaming pile of D O G S H I T.
The story starts off with a fat chick who OH GUESS WHAT DEVELOPS A SEVERE CLINCAL DEPRESSION OVER THE DEATH OF AN ANIME CHARACTER. Nevertheless she loses about 300 pounds and her soul by not eating for a week.
She goes to school the week after starving herself and magically is liked by all the boys, i. kid. you. not. they all started treating her like a princess in a fucking fairy tale. Over the course of the anime the story gets more shallow, and the oc develops SEVERE PTSD over tripping on rocks, getting kissed and being told somebody likes her.
overall this anime sucks and please do yoursel…

So this started out quite well and as a BL fan myself, I was having fun purely because of the anime's unique concept and potential.
However, as the show went on, I was really missing some character background or development in order for me to understand them better or develop some kind of a real understanding for their motives. Everyone just likes the MC once she loses weight, alright. I found that really shallow, there was no real depth to it. I was not expecting a deep show, however, but I would have appreciated at least something.
I would say that it was fun at times and that I did laugh at quite a few scenes, but that was it. It could be a good filler anime for when you have nothing else to watch and like BL, although the BL aspect recedes into the background at times. I was expect…

I don't know how I feel about this anime. Its a harmless show with a fujoshi protagonist who doesn't take advantage of the amount of dick she's surrounded by. At the start of the anime Kae is portrayed as an ugly obese girl who gets off to boys being lads. However when she goes home and finds out her favorite character in some anime dies. She instantly loses weight over the hard loss. She manages to go from ugly girl to pretty girlie within about a week.
Although now shes a pretty protaganist shes got theese four boys that are after her even though shes an otaku and a fujoshi (but she dosent tell them that) I dont think the anime spread a good message from Kaes transformation and everyone suddenly going head over heals for her. It kind of puts in my mind "no one will love you if your unatt…

> Summary:
What happens when a bunch of simps simp with a sprinkle of gay fantasy? Nothing really, the whole thing is as predictable and anti-climatic as an anime could ever be.
> Thoughts:
There's very little character deveploment and the characters themselves aren't good either. There's some humor and anime references, but nothing that would make me laugh.
Probably the only good thing about this anime is the animation and art style, it's easy to look at. But that doesn't help when you got a really bad story that doesn't produce any other feelings than anger when you realize how much time you wasted watching it.
In the end nothing new to see here, the whole show is comparable to a bland tart, i don't know who is this made for or who thought this was a good idea to animate in the first…

You should probably skip this anime. After reading the synopsis and watching the first episode i was pretty exited about the premise of this show. A reverse Harem where the main character isn't an oblivious moron, but rather a pervert who is going to try to redirect her harem's affection towards each other instead of her.
Then... it turns into a typical harem anime. You get a little fan service here and there with the guys looking cute.. but it is few and far between. The main character becomes an oblivious moron who has Zero character and just blushes or yells about her favorite anime character. The harem of boys immediately make it clear they like the girl, so there is no tension or build up.

This anime was one of the cringiest shows I've ever watched in my entire life. I found myself cringing throughout the entire thing- not even exaggerating. Reverse harems are a huge guilty pleasure of mine, so I found the show and decided to watch. I wasn't expecting too much out of it as it seemed like your generic shoujo anime with a bunch of cute guys, an average main character, and all that jazz. I thought the concept of it would be interesting, you know, the whole fangirl "wants the guys that want to be with her to be with each other."
But God, I wasn't expecting it to be that bad.
So the main character, she's the worst. The whole fangirl trope in the series was something I could relate to, but the way that the show portrays Serinuma, making her "fangirling" so exaggerated to the po…

Looking at the score, I wonder how this anime made it so high. This was one of those anime my group of weaboo friends made fun of and made each other watch on many accounts of i dare yous. Though to be fair, the art is pretty decent.
The story starts out with a fat and ugly kae, eyes like brock from pokemon, and glasses like any stereotypical otaku in akihabara. After a tragic death of an animated drawing of a male yaoi character and about a week of starving herself (wow! promoting that anorexic lifestyle!) she not only loses her glasses and develops some tohru honda eyes, but becomes the next victoria secret angel, loosing over half her initial body weight! Suddenly, all the guys who ignored her before as she was shipping them have turned their heads and looked at her newly evolved form!…

Know that this genre of anime isn't for everybody. The only people who are gonna enjoy it are female otakus, especially if they're into BL. We're the core audience here so if you're a straight male, you should best stay away from it.
For those of you interested in the reverse harem genre, know that somethings have to be accepted at face value, including:
1. Lots of boys will like one girl, for no apparent reason other than that she's pretty (and sometimes, has a sweet personality)
2. The girl is always completely oblivious of how the boys feel for her.
3. There is no plot - all the boys compete in their own way with each other to catch the girl's eye, who in turn sees them as nothing more than friends.
5. The big reveal is always within the last 5-10 minutes of the last episode of the ser…

A series that openly mocks Otaku culture, while being written in a way only otaku will really get, "Kiss Him, not Me" is a functional but completely forgettable series. Centering around a girl who loses a massive/unhealthy amount of weight and suddenly becomes popular, the premise is equally as shallow as most of the cast. Everyone is a stereotypical shonen or shoujo character, the plots cycle through all the main anime tropes (a school festival, a sports event, a beach episode, a dating episode with all 5 potential partners), and it all ends without any of the characters really moving anywhere. The only character who does have an arc still only does so to move the plot to a status quo ending.
That being said it is very self aware and pokes fun at the Otaku culture without pulling its pun…

Watashi Ga Motete Dousunda was a really enjoyable causal romance.
It was interesting to see a girls point of view of shipping (which may not be true) never the less it was very enjoyable to see Serinuma reactions to boys love and how much of an Otaku she is.
I liked the typical boy harem aspect where there's a different boy for everyone's taste and how Serinuma sees each of them.
I also thought it was interesting how they brought a girl into a reverse harem which gave boys something to look forward to as well.
I quite liked the side characters like Amene Nakano.
Throughout the series it is constantly reminding you she is an Otaku which made the series all the more enjoyable and I could relate to her.
Overall this series was absolutely hilarious and never ceased to amuse me.
I highly…

*bear with me, this is my first review (also first anime I completed Fall season)*
I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of harems with male leads (mainly the concept of it), but after watching Watashi ga Motete Dousunda, it dawned on me that I love the idea of REVERSED harems--probably typical for a girl though, right? That thrown aside, this anime was quite entertaining for me regardless of it being a reversed harem, and I totally would recommend girls AND guys to watch this if you're looking for a silly, short and easy-to-watch anime to pass time.

I say the first 5 episodes of Watashi ga Motete Dousunda were the most interesting. The first 5 really lure you in. An overweight otaku loses--or I should say drops--weight and transforms into a beauty queen, and suddenly she is surrounded…

To begin, I'm not exactly into BL and stuff like that. I am completely a straight male.
This is my first review ever since joining last October.

Basically, I honestly think that the art, sound, and story is superb. It has all those good elements to it. Once you've watched enough anime (romance and shoujo in particular) in your lifetime you'll get this certain irresistible feel about this certain series that it absolutely has that "romantic excitement" to it that makes you feel tingly all over.
The characters are ABSOLUTELY LOVABLE. Although it may seem like it has the cliche elements of an otome, the characters are still unique in their own way. I firmly believe that this anime is totally and utterl…

[SPOILERS AT THE END]
Ok, so another reverse harem has ended, funny that this 2016 winter season anime was just so full of it, so:
7 over 10
Storywise, at first I thought that I'm gonna be looking at a usual reverse harem, you know where the girl actually is surrounded by guys, and unlike a 1 boy to many girl ration kind of harem where the competition would be fierce , the reverse harem where there is a 1 girl to many boys is usually more subtle and in most cases the girl itself acts more like a mother figure to the guys than a love interest. Here, is where the term "REVERSE HAREM" was given a totally different definition, this was probably the only reverse harem where the main character is pretty much as obnoxious as a guy in a regular harem, and this was also the only anime where the…

As a female who watches plenty of anime and BL, at first I really loved this anime. It was hilarious, light hearted and very cute with great art.
The first 5 episodes I was laughing so hard... however after a while you notice the story isn't really going anywhere and unfortunately that was definitely reinforced with the season ending, it felt like the main character hadn't really grown throughout the anime, which is also good if you think about it in the way that she "stayed true to herself" .
The characters have good development and all have moments in the spotlight but really its just another harem anime (I'm not particularly fond of harem) I still found it very enjoyable and light hearted to watch, quite a few times I found myself laughing or giggling out loud. There are also plenty…

There are anime where there is a girl who ships two guys together, and there are anime where there is a girl who has her own reverse harem. Well, why not combine them into one? Behold! A girl who ships the guys in her own reverse harem! I first heard about the manga for this anime before the anime was even announced; it seemed interesting, so when it was announced that it was getting an anime adaptation, I was immediately on board. Thus, I watched it as it aired, and honestly, I'm really glad I did.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is my review of "Kiss Him, Not Me", a.k.a. "Watashi ga Motete Dousunda".
Kiss Him, Not Me follows Kae Serinuma, an overweight fujoshi who ships her classmates, Yusuke Igarashi and Nozomu Nanashima, and is in love with a character from the anime "Mirage Saga", Shion.…

Watching Watashi ga Motete Dousunda (Kiss Him, not Me!) reminds me of feeling like a kid again. Kind of like a kid walking right into a candy store, the show felt pretty silly at first and even hysterical. I mean, it’s a reverse harem shoujo. Shows like this tends to appeal to mostly a certain demographic and to me, it isn’t something that I favor a lot. However, there’s this something about this show that feels more appealing than some of the other reverse harem shows I’ve watched before. Whether it’s because the series is a parody of making fun of BL or the comedy, this turned out to be a pretty sweet ride.
Adapted from the manga of the same name, the series is about a fujoshi named Serinuma Kae. For those who are not familiar with the term, it basically designates individuals who has f…
