I have watched many shows, I have watched many shows that were bad, I have watched many shows that were utter garbage.
I, however, have never watched a show that has gotten me more upset than this dumpster fire. With every passing episode i could feel myself hating every single character in this show more and more. I never wanted to punch a protagonist as much as this walking nightmare of a human being... After watching this i turned on redo of healer and thought "damn, what a nice guy this protagonist is."
Every single episode is an absolute nightmare that drags you deeper and deeper into the abyss. Every single episode you will think to yourself "this is the worst shit i have ever seen" and then you will remember that theres still way too many episodes left, that you just know will som…

There are only three reasons this show might be pleasing to somebody
1. They're a fan of soap operas
2. They want to want the show where the popular opening 'Kawaki wo Ameku'/'Crying For Rain' came from
3. They heard this show was bad and wanted to check it out for themselves
If you're here for the third reason, Congratulations, you've made it to the right place! If not, this may not be the show for you, even if you like soap operas. In short, Domestic Girlfriend host a wide variety of poorl written characters, making the viewer think "Did they really do that?" to "That would NEVER happen in the real world?" From stupid character decisions to the absurdity of the situations they find themselves in, this show feels like a comedy that is only enjoyable to watch and laugh at with friends. If…

pretty fun anime. semi sad ending that is continued in the manga and the author gives a conclusion where everyone is happy.
only weird thing about the hate of this show is idk why people are so mad about the incest, I'd understand if they were cousins or even 50% blood related but they're completely unrelated. think if you were in love with someone for 10 years then your parents married. would you break up?
my only critique of this show was that the main character was kinda shit, he randomly went for a kiss on a sleeping girl along with other unprecedented moves and is the classic afraid of women character who gets extremely shy and isn't assertive at all so women walk all over him.

The anime ends well and is decent, so why all the hate? Is it because of the manga? I haven't actually read it, so I can't say how it compares, but personally, I believe the anime shouldn't be judged alongside the manga, as they're different products despite sharing the same story.
I enjoyed the anime; it's entertaining, and while there are moments where you might dislike certain characters and some interactions don't feel very organic, overall it's quite acceptable (especially compared to the generic trash that comes out year after year). At least it stays true to the characters' personalities.
The soundtrack is good, both the external (opening and ending) and internal, fitting well with the anime and conveying what's being shown. The use of licensed songs at certain relevant moments is…

This show has so much more than just incest. You have affairs, teachers sleeping with her students (who is also her brother), sex between strangers (who later become siblings) and just a whole lot of bullshit. It’s not as fun as it sounds. This shit is painful. Hina’s a bitch, Rui could have been a great character but she’s in love with her brother, the best character is a slut but she doesn’t get any screen time, the main character is a stupid dumbass and my favorite scene is his best friend making fun of his sister. This was so uncomfortable to sit through. I honestly wish we got more of the slut. When that’s what I’m looking forward to then you know this shit is ass. But what really annoys me is how the show tries to be well written and mature. I can’t enjoy this shit ironically if the…

this anime isnt for everyone, it portrays personalities of unusual people who might not seem realistic to most, oddly my wife is Exactly like Rui and most people cant comprehend or understand her behavior, the plot is more relatable to men, the women they deal with and how they see women making choices, yes women act like that !!!! most women for whatever reason dont think like that, but this is japan, the culture is different
that stuff aside its well portrayed, has suspense but at the same time has cliche's mostly to mock them as far as i see it, reality isnt pretty and things wont always go the way you want, and people make stupid decisions for stupid reasons, and like it or not thats the beauty of this anime, dont expect a happy ending.

What the fuck did I just witness?
I am not that new to anime, but I have this goal to watch many different genres and go through different themes (as in the plots) as much as possible. I have seen mixed reviews about Domestic Girlfriend and it's been on my watchlist for quite some time. Because I am a sucker for romance in any shape and form, I decided to finally watch it. And for your information, I did not check the MAL score for this before watching, which I kind of regret now.
I did rate this 4, which I think is GENEROUS. The only character that did NOT make me want to drink bleach and die was Rui. Don't get me wrong, she was a dumbass too, but tolerable. The opening was fire, which this anime did not deserve.
The thing that disturbed me the most was the plot. Like WHAT THE FUCK???…

Look, I'm not like some reviewers here on this website that write a whole ass essay. I'll write my short-ass review here for you readers.
MC: chad as af. Pulls multiple baddies in the show. Alabama 100.
Music: nonexistent. I was too busy tugging my meat to notice it.
Art: decently drawn boobies. The only part I remember so I highly recommend it.
Story: sex and drama, yes there is a story to this anime and it is pretty good. It's like a soap drama but with sex. If you want to beat yo meat to anime, then this show is for you.

This anime is so good. The main plot is taboo IRL and I think that is why many people hate it, but I think that is what it makes this show great, the story is so complicated that I can't predict what happens next. I think the reason people hate it because not everything is going the right way, which is why they are upset, but for me I think that is what the author like us to feel.
This is my first review but I watched tons of anime titles before, I feel like I just need to make a review for this one, as I saw how people are upset about this and some reviews are inaccurate based on what I watched (Haven't saw the manga yet), also sorry for bad grammar etc. English is not my first language.

Please, to anyone who reads this review: don't watch it. If you've already seen domestic na kanojo, rest your soul brother, we may bear the pain together.
This show is like a rollercoaster, you get really excited as you're climbing up, waiting for the drop. The problem is that, just when you're about to go down, you notice that the rails end and you're about to fall to your doom without any control over your imminent demise. As you're falling down you rethink your choices in life, “why did I watch that OP?”, “why didn't I listen to everyone who told me this wasn't a good idea?”, just “why?” in general.
Last episode, you hit the ground at lightning speed.
Natsuo waves you goodbye with a horny look in his eyes as all life leaves your soul. The last thought before you step into the ligh…

i hate this show
dont watch this show
whenever things in the show start to go well and there's hope that it might get better, that's when this show likes to shatter your dreams and just bring everything back down to ruin.
it's still a 6/10 because it looked nice and had good music and i can understand how someone could potentially enjoy such a dumb story. it also wasn't that bad 100% of the time. i might just be being a bit generous but surprisingly i did find a couple redeeming qualities. that still doesn't mean this show is worth watching unless you enjoy hurting yourself mentally.
that's all, that's the tea sis

DISCLAIMER: Let us stop being immature and call sth trash irrationally. Let's look at DomeKano from a new perspective.
I hope that you, the potential viewer, who hasn’t written DomeKano off as trash, who hasn’t let the appalling state of MAL reviews affect you, will take some time to read what I have to say.
Before we know it, it becomes evident for us that as humans, we better find ourselves in love with another, traditionally from the “opposite” gender. This love is supposed to be qualitatively different from all other kinds of love that we either receive, give, or partake in. For instance, this love cannot be an infatuation, cannot be driven solely by lust, and hopefully(?) must have to do with a connection, of the ethereal kind. And when you do find yourself engaged in such a “romant…

This Anime is my undisputed #1 anime of all time.
Sometimes throughout my day especially at night I just find myself thinking about the spicccccy story and plot, the amazing characters, the looked down upon love, the twists, turns, loops, the tall and fine glass of wine that is Rui and Hinas Mother, you know the normal things.
This anime changed my entire outlook on Romantic Anime and Anime as a whole. I used to be confined to just shounen with a little bit of isekai every now and then so a lot of action, fighting type anime but after watching just 1 episodes of domestic no kanojo I realized that I had no idea about anything in anime and my taste was absolutely terrible and not good enough for anything. But after watching this anime I opened up o other genres and now and fluid between al…

Why do I feel like people these days are way too judgmental ? Some of the comments regarding this series are just pure exaggeration. Sure, I'll admit that this definitely wasn't one of the best I've watched so far, but some of the comments are just too much. As for the series, if you're into unrequited love, I'll definitely recommend it. And yes, it is on the border of incest as well. This series doesn't follow the stereotypical romance anime plot. This is gonna be more true to life than you can imagine. The protagonist is a person who is not perfect by any means. He constantly makes stupid decisions that are frustrating. But that's the point of the series. In real life, you're not always going to make the right decisions. That is especially true if strong emotions of unrequited love are i…

A lot people gave this anime a 3 or lower score, seriously an anime this good, that doesn't follow any cliches except for "Kuzu no Honkai?" Frankly for people to gave this a 3 or lower did a big injustice to this anime, and why not? This was a drama theme anime, and if one thinks that live soap operas were much better than this, then by all means watch it..........Stupid. So my ratings for this anime:
Story- Very Good 8: Like I've said this anime doesn't follow any cliches story plots, though there were some elements in it, but it doesn't contain something that goes in one direction rather the conflict that exist in Fuji household as two step sisters move in with their mom, because Natsuo's dad remarries and hold and behold, the 3 knew each other and in fact have a history with each other…

Domestic na Kanojo had quite an impression on me when I have first watched it, be it the situations showed in recent episodes is quite interesting, to say the least.
(Spoiler Free Review)
Story: 8/10
The story of this anime provides an interesting concept that has gripped me during the start when I first watched it. Essentially it could have definitely been done better, but overall it was still compelling. The story is simplistic in manner and easy to understand, with the concept of love and all, but delivers a complex situation that is hard to fix. The pacing of the show is continuous, The "scenes" I believe deliver their purpose, and satisfaction, if you know what I mean. The individual elements of the show such as the romance between the characters are very interesting for me. The f…

Have you ever watched an anime and been annoyed at how slow the relationship between characters develops? Sometimes the furthest characters go throughout an entire season of liking each other is hand holding. Well, not with Domestic na Kanojo!!! The very first scene is two of the main characters having sex, almost making me think for a second that I had accidentally stumbled across a hentai. This anime immediately strives to set itself apart from the crowd. It endeavors to be special and throws all sorts of drama at us in the forms of forbidden incestuous love and depressed characters as if attempting to get us to be impressed by how far it’s willing to go to be extra dramatic and unique. Though alas, it falls far short of the mark. Honestly, I'd much rather watch those imouto anime that e…

SPOILERS INCLUDED.
(I didn't read the manga so I can't compare manga and anime side-by-side).
Will you do it with me, here? - random passing girl, age 16.
After this awful experience, I have to confirm my theory: don't follow friends' recommendations. I didn't want to watch Domestic na Kanojo, but some guys were saying Wow! It was E-P-I-C, watch it! - and I had time to waste - so in the end I decided to watch it and... what can I say? It was horrible.
- Plot
The premise is quite dumb, because Domestic Girlfriend talks about a random girl called Rui who asks a TOTALLY RANDOM boy she meets, called Natsuo, to have sex... well... okay? He accepts. And Natsuo is in love with his teacher, Hina. Okay. Then, we get to know that Natsuo's father is remarrying. Natsuo's new stepmother is Hina and…

Hmm, how should I sum up Domestic Girlfriend?
Natsuo gets in between his two sisters…..nailed it!
But Domestic Girlfriend is not your typical bludgeoning of the flaps for the purposes of stimulating that intense surge of dopamine. Instead, its primary focus is on the emotional aspects of an awkward circumstance of which the “fated” lovers — Natsuo and Rui — have no say over. It’s certainly not the type of anime that will appeal to the action-oriented crowd or the numerous romcom enthusiasts (although, there are a handful of comedic moments). No. This is the type of anime that offers a semblance of realism to a medium that all too often strays away from level-headed, unromantic situations, in exchange for chuckles and anticipated endings. “Happy-endings” certainly have their place among…

Fate is a funny thing. Some may believe in it while others pass it off as a superstition. When someone like Natsuo decided to have sex with a girl named Rui, and later became his step sister, is that fate too? It’s too bad since this high school boy has been in love with a teacher named Hina Tachibana and his life got even more complicated when she is his step sibling too. What the hell is wrong with this world?
From the way I see it, Domestic Kanojo (also known as Domestic Girlfriend) subscribes to a complicated romance story that feeds off of its drama. The first episode immediately makes us realize that Natsuo is not ready for a serious relationship. He’s pretty much the typical sensitive type of guy who lacks experience with love. Sure, he may have had a one night stand with Rui but w…
