Oresuki was quite something, it stands out in the romcom genre in a good way, I recommend it but I hesitated a bit with the mixed feelings. I woulnd't recommend it if you are new to animes and/or the romcom genre. I'll try to explain why down below.
The show starts off as a parody, and the first half of the season is legit pure gold, the gags keep coming as well as ( really ) unexpected events, you'll actually want to watch the next episodes for the plot, which is quite rare in romcoms where there are tons of clichés and common arcs etc... However, after like the 7th or 8th episode, the story becomes more conventionnal and loses its innovative spark, it starts losing its parody tag and it's a shame because it was one of its strong points. To qualify a bit, I guess we can praise this ani…

I'm not even kidding when I say that this anime has left an indelible mark on my heart. It's one of those rare shows that I'll always remember, no matter how much time passes. And it's all thanks to the incredible cast of characters, particularly the brilliant and complex Sumireko.
At first glance, Kisaragi might seem like your typical harem lead, but trust me, he's so much more than that. And when all the girls around him betray his trust, it's Sumireko who stands by him, using her incredible intelligence and dual personality to help him navigate the chaos.
I mean, this girl is on a whole different level. Her intelligence is on par with Ayanokoji from 'Classroom of the Elite' - she's that smart. And it's not just her brains that make her special; it's her unwavering loyalty and compassi…

Oresuki starts its first episode by presenting our black-haired, run-of-the-mill high school boy and his two love interests: airheaded childhood friend, and student council president. You'd assume this is another harem anime doing its thing, but that facade quickly shatters when the two love interests come up to our MC Jouro to confess. Because there's a catch; the person they like is his good-looking, baseball player of a best friend. Then there's another catch; Jouro isn't actually a run-of-the-mill high school boy. Deep down, he's a massive asshole who thinks he can get girls by playing up the harem-protagonist persona.
As a concept, this is funny. A dig at harem anime and their bland-ass protagonists getting girls for no reason is satisfying to see. Plus, it's presented in an enterta…

This anime in itself started out with an awesome start. For those watching I recommend going a little past the 10 min mark. this anime was an awesome experience of emotions. Many times, I laughed and many times I got angry. The MC is no typical MC he is a background MC character. I highly recommend it though. in all animation, it is my type of animation sort of like a new style. every character has their story. I think many will like this story. the characters are all very well written. the plot twist in plot twist goes crazy in this anime.

This was a wonderful adventure. I am someone who has been focusing on a lot of light Anime recently (I am also watching Attack on Titan and Death Parade) but my focus has been more on those created on lighter tones. If you like something which just refreshes your mind and where you would like logic but not to the extent of something grave - this is a perfect watch.
I really loved the characterization. The main focus is how the protagonist wishes for a harem and he always misses out on it. This creates humorous plot points, with ideal archetypes for the same being part of the story alongside. I like the art which never left that humorous tone but could touch the wicked side of the protagonist when required. I think describing further would be spoiling the game for those wishing to watch it…

Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo (2019)
Short name: ORESUKI
The show revolves around initially a character Joro who hides his real personality behind a kinder demeanour. He is in fact much more unkind than expected but he has got a lot to deal with. Initially, he has his childhood friend Aoi Hinata and Sakura Akino the student council president who he is very close too. They both want to see him and confess their feelings but initially, it doesn't go how he thought it would. Then a new girl, the one he thinks is weird Sanshokuin Sumireko appears and he ends up on a bench once again. He fears what will happen and a confession occurs.
As the show progresses the harem style show begins building with the possibility of a single girl resolution. Although a harem is what he wants he does…

Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo (aka. OreSuki) presents itself as a comedic subversion of your bog-standard harem romcom following the (mis)adventures of Watering Can Boy (aka. Joro), as he attempts to build his own high-school harem fantasy.
Though the premise is initially promising a harsh and cynical subversion of its genre, trashy teenage drama, an inconsistent tone and shenanigans galore completely dominate this show, which ultimately is an mixed bag of an attempt at meta humor of the average harem romcom.
As with most other romcoms, the story of OreSuki is definitely its biggest weakness. It is intended as a play on the typical, clichéd story where the MC is a naive and innocent "nice guy" that gets surrounded by love interest by essentially just being nice to them at the ex…

This show is hilarious. Fourth-wall-breaking like I've never seen, hilarious situational comedy, etc. The humor alone would be enough for me to give this show a 7 or 8 with just average to decent characters and story. Unfortunately, this show fails to deliver on that front pretty hard.
The characters are all extremely unlikable and unrealistic, starting with the protagonist, Joro. Joro is a gigantic scumbag, but in a good sort-of Kazuma from Konosuba kind of way. But unlike Kazuma, he pretends not to be a scumbag and fails to have pretty much any other redeeming qualities. Joro starts out the show trying to win the affection of either his childhood friend or the president of the student council whom he assists, but both of them are in love with his best friend, Sun-chan (who is the actual…

So, apparently, we have the anime that wants to break the cliché of the romantic comedies, wants to give us something new, wants to give us something different from what we are already tired, and I really appreciate the intention, I really do, but unfortunately this anime does not finish convincing me.
And I’m going to be honest, I had no interest in watch this anime the first time, I read the premise and I watched the trailer, but I simply thought that this would be another bland and ridiculous anime…and yes, they shut my mouth with the first leg of this anime. The comedy, the characters and the development was good, I thought that had a particular but funny way to see the things through the eyes of a “non main character”. And I was expecting more of this, but unluckily, in my opinion, ju…

Are you tired of the same old isekai trash that has been ass produced every season? Are you sick of watching shitty romcom anime that has zero plot and focuses only on ecchi and harem? Are you craving for a romcom anime that has a good romance plot and comedy ? Well I have been feeling those emotions and have been craving for a ‘decent’ romcom anime. But those feelings disappeared when I came across the anime “ORESUKI Are you the only one who loves me?”.This anime caught my attention due to the description of its plot and the similarity of the main heroine’s face to a certain doujinshi. When I watched the first episode I thought this anime was going to be another generic shit-shat romcom stuff again but it turns out to be fairly good not only for its characters but also for its comedy.

If I could describe mindful self-indulgence gone awry as succinctly as possible, this would be it.
Oresuki is a show that genuinely blew me away the first three episodes which encompass the first arc. Only to then tarnish that good will for the next seven episodes, only to then at the last minute change course back to what the point of the initial arc was.
What was that goal you say? To subvert with Harem RomCom genre with a Konosuba attitude, adding some sprinkles of Death Note here and there. Or maybe to deconstruct? I'm not a huge fan of the term but it encompasses what the show was trying to do just as well. Let's describe how it goes about its goal.
Joro is a boy who is seemingly the insufferable good willed harem protagonist we are oh so used to. Only to then halfway through the f…

This show took one of the biggest nosedives in quality that I've ever experienced in any media. The first 3 episodes were really fun and entertaining. I loved the constant 4th wall breaks by the main character, the jokes surrounding "bench-kun"were hilarious, it was a romcom with an interesting premise that imo was building up to be something comparable to in the best of cases Oregairu. And oh boi was I wrong because this became a painfully generic harem after that.
After the first 3 eps, the show kept introducing more and more girls instead of making the viewers care about the already existing girls by giving them any bit of characterization more than just being magically attracted to Joro. And of course like in any harem, almost all the girls the show introduces are immediately in love…

Well, this was pretty boring and hypocritical show.
This show started with a pretty unique idea and a couple of episodes later, it threw it trough the window.
The show despite starting like if the MC were the harem main character's best friend, he ends up being the MC of a harem show... and the only girl that seemed to pay attention to him was "an ugly (that wasn't that ugly to begin with) bitch with an ugly personality". But like I said, a couple of episode later, the bitch ends up being hot af (wow, like if I didn't see that coming) and actually, she isn't a bitch, she is dere AF... oh, and all the girls that were into the other guy ends up falling in love with the MC from one day to another... but don't worry, this time is true love. Oh, also some random gurls fall in love with the M…

Well then, that ends another romcom harem themed anime for this last part of 2019 and as 2020 comes in I wonder what kind of romcom we'll be getting next year...........................?
So
Story:
Pros: Basically when we have a romcom with harem theme anime it was usually the garden variety kind, you know where guy gets a harem and guy doesn't know what to do with them. But here the plot was somewhat the same, only this time it always involves guy getting into messy situation where it doesn't involve each harem members but only one in particular and yes, it was the book worm girl who manages the library. Another thing about this anime was that it doesn't make any BS of keeping the guy as this perfect guy thing, rather here, the guy was more like into what we can called as organize chaos…

Finally, a fun and entertaining parody of cliche harem shows that subverts the tropes with levelheaded protagonist... yeah, for about 3 episodes.
Slight spoilers might follow, but not that the story is anything worthwhile.
OreSuki runs out of steam very quickly and became it's own villain - a cliche harem romcom. The protagonis,t with the character design of generic hentai mc, turns into unsympathetic spineless coward that does everything in his power to maintain the status quo and prevent any significant plot progression. His main motivation also turns out to be correlated to being too fixated on his male friend. A friend that also turns to be a douchebag and basically tries to attempt to rape a girl. The protagonist witnesses it. The protagonist doesn't care. Neither does the series. E…

Oresuki is a frustrating show to me. After the first 3-4 episodes, I was ready to call this show the best this season. The writing was on point, the characters were interesting and complex and animation was very nice. I was ready to call this a solid 9/10. Then the rest of the series happened and it all blew up in my face.
If you were to ask me why it simply ends up being what show with short-lived premises: Where do we go from here? This show doesn't answer this question for at least 6 episodes. After those first four episodes, this becomes one of the most obnoxious, repetitious and aimless shows I've seen in a while. Those six episodes do include new girls but they either are used for gags or are forgotten entirely. The fourth wall breaking jokes start as funny and then they become inco…

The main thing that is clamored about when it comes to Oresuki is the “twist” that occurs midway during the first episode, even though it’s quite explicit in the synopsis. Anyway, the gist of it is that the first half of the shows first episode comes off as a generic school romance anime. The protagonist is a by the numbers nice guy with a supporting cast consisting of the obligatory girl childhood friend, the elegant girl student council president, and a cool guy friend to help him out. All together they play through the motions of the show until a point where it looks like the childhood friend and student council president may confess to the protagonist, only for it to slap him in the face when they actually ask for his help to get in a relationship with his friend. Disillusioned and in…

What is this? This truly is the romance of the season.
The main character Joro is basically the mix between Deku and Narancia. Joro is this nice and helpful little fella but of course when he snaps, he snap real hard. Sanshokuin Sumireko aka Pansy is the best girl of this show. She is really manipulative and very smart. Cosmos is the student council president who is very smart but gets flustered really easy, and whenever she is in an awkward position she starts talking like a samurai. Hinawa is Joros childhood friend. She is really into sports. She wants to be helpful but sometimes she is not. Sun-Chan is Joros best friend who is the baseball teams captain and the first 3 episodes are based around him.
It seems this anime is divided into 3 episode long arcs. So far we have had a friendshi…

“Amatsuyu “Joro” Kisaragi is your typical dense harem lead who is showered in affection by a cute childhood friend, a mature student council president, and many others as the series progresses” – this is the false pretense that Oresuki presents to cover its true premise: that Joro is aware of this trope and is actually a manipulative scumbag invoking it intentionally to pick up girls. However, one of these being true does not negate the other, and both are layers of the show’s narrative.
Oresuki is a show that is about subtext and layered narratives. Basically every character in the show lies about what motivates their actions at one point or another, and this is made extremely clear from the very beginning. In doing this, Oresuki is tasking the viewer to try to discern where their real i…

Have you ever had one of those moments in life where you feel as if a miracle is about to happen to you but then suddenly ends up being disappointed beyond disbelief? Someone by the name of Joro sure did. Just when he thought his life would turn into a miracle, he gets asked by two beauties to help them win their loves. Now that’s a slap to the face and reminder that life sometimes just isn’t fair.
Ore wo Suki Nano wa Omae Dake Ka Yo (Oresuki) may be a romantic comedy but loves to flirt with the idea of manipulation. It’s almost like a real life version of a soap opera filled with drama but without the violence. Or is there? Physically, the show has limited amount of action unless you count Joro getting kicked or slapped on around on the occasions. But on a psychological level, Oresuki de…
