This anime is about a gamer boy who plays something that seems like Brawlhalla but with more complicated mechanics. My man never touched grass and has zero social life but is the best player in Japan. He is literally #1 on the leaderboards and is unbeatable. You disrespect him he won't give a s#!t, but if you disrespect his game, he will beat the s#!t out of you. Anyways, the person who is #2 on the leaderboards one day asked him for a meet-up and that person later turned out to be the heroine of his school, the most popular girl. Ah yes, looking at the romance tag people would think that this would be another Most Popular Girl dating the Least Popular Boy anime, but in reality, nothing romantic happened between them and the fandom even started shipping the male MC with a side character. A…

Honestly I can’t even tell you why this show pisses me off like it does. It’s pretty basic and formulaic but it is so pretentious, like it thinks it is so smart. It’s acting like My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU which is actually smart, but it just has no fucking idea what it’s talking about. They try to do the whole social commentary thing but it land flat on it’s fucking face. It was so in your face that any nuance just went right out the fucking window. I mean it was like that in SNAFU as well but at least that one had something interesting to say and actually had a lot of different arguments and examples. This show can only say one thing and they shove it down your throat at every chance they get. None of the characters are interesting in the slightest and the fucking premise on how they…

shit is trash bro
aint much more to say, had to watch the last few eps at 2x speed idk why i even finished this garbage
what kills me is they tried to shoe horn in some physiological shit towards the end
one i finished this anime i felt like tearing off my cock and feeding it to myself
what a fucking horrid show, if i where to be more objective a 3/10, but that would just have been if i dropped it like 3 eps in. watching this fully has caused me so much suffering imma give it a 1/10
shit is trash bro

the high scores this anime receives from other reviewers shows how unfortunately mainstream anime has become.
this entire show reads as just an excuse to deride the socially awkward for "not trying hard enough". the examples and methods are awful. the people on here calling the MC "cringey" are the exact people this anime is aimed towards. he's just a normal socially awkward teenage boy, and he's right. games are balanced, life is not. people can and do end up failing through no fault of their own. not only is the plot nonsensical but it seems like it was intended to be deliberately insulting to "losers" as the MFP calls them.

Where to begin with this one... Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun is a boring, uninspired mess. The protagonist is introduced as an antisocial loner who is the number one ranked player at “tackfam” ,or Smash Bros as we know it, and meets his rival who happens to be the perfect girl at his school. She is smart, athletic, popular and the ideal role model for everyone around her but to me she was unbearable. The school has this unwritten rule that popular girls wear neck ties and the unpopular ones wear bow ties which leads me to my main criticism of relatability.
Relatability is a key part of anime and this one did not handle it well which ruined the show for me. The characters introduced, other than the MC, are so “socially perfect” that it eliminated any potential relationship to form between the…

I only score anime from 8-10 overall for the appreciation for their hardwork. I scored this 10 because i can feel the characters. Not that totally understand them but i get what they are pointing out. im not that good in reading subtitles quickly then understand them as a whole cuz i hate reading and it make my head aches xD. Even now, thinking what to write here consumes too much energy cuz i'm not the type of person to explain things very well. So going back to the anime, it is good, both art, story and the characters. I enojyed the anime a lot. The sound is also complemented too, i think that's all i have to say.
After all, this anime isn't for someone who's privileged that doesn't live in a grey-scale world with almost nothing to talk outside your house and to those people who lacks u…

I've seen plenty of reviews rate it a 2, but I don't understand why. The anime is very good in my opinion.
It's well animated, and the sound is phenomenal. The story is a bit lacking, and the 'romance' isn't really there. It's just about a girl who gets a guy to be more like a normal person. Some of the story was a bit cringe, but I just went past it without much worry.
The character design is amazing, and when our MC gets a glow-up, you could have them side by side as different people.
Overall, very nice, and I would watch it again in a year or two.

Bottom-Tier Tomozaki is the hidden gem of this season. Many dropped it at first while those who remained slowly began to notice how their view changed, just like the characters did. It’s a Romcom that isn’t revolutionary but introduces concepts that makes it interesting and engaging to follow.
It was certainly a show that exceeded my expectations.
It’s a true character growth driven story of becoming a better person.
On its surface it’s nothing mind-blowing and appears to be a standard Romcom about an unpopular guy who somehow meets the legend of the class and gets a harem that you've seen countless times yet this assumption is very misleading and Tomozaki, despite appearing as such, is not at all like that.
All the girls introduced are not meant to be part of his harem and the show has w…

TL;DR watch it
Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun starts out as a very cringe-worthy show. The MC is an absolute loser who's only interest in life is to be the best at Smash Bros (or TackFam how the show calls it).
He meets up with the second best player, who turns out to be the perfect girl from his class who's just the best at everything. She is disappointed because her nemesis is such a loser and proceeds to teach him how to succeed in life.
Since they are both nerds, they use Videogame Speak and treat real life just like a game. Aoi (the girl btw) starts giving Tomozaki quests what to do in real life and he does so because he doesn't have anything better to do anyways.
People would call this cringe - and guess what, it is. That is the point, you've reached the conclusion - treating real li…

Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun is about your typical loner gamer dude who plays *not* Smash Bros at a very high level, and decides to one day meet up with the person right after him on the leaderboard, who ends up being a cute, popular girl from his class. After this meeting, this girl, Aoi, having scolded our protagonist, decides to help him out by teaching him how to become a riajuu, a “normie” you could say.
I really wish I were be here right now saying good things about this show and how I used some of the advice Aoi gave to Tomozaki myself, but alas, here I am, incredibly disappointed by what could have been a nice romcom with a school setting. The show presents an interesting idea, I haven’t actually seen anything like it before, but the execution of the premise set in place by the first f…

First of all, I literally thought that this is going to be a typical Harem anime, but it wasn't. It did justify the "comedy" genre, but somehow I felt it lacked or rather did injustice to
"romance" genre. It was basically a gamer trying to think life as a game too and tried to raise his level but somewhere along the line he realised he wasn't doing what he "really wanted".
It did have some comic moments and its a good slice of life but it wasn't, not even a little a romantic anime. It was more like friendly kind of thing and nothing more. But even so, if it does gets a sequel and justifies the "romance" part of the story then that would be something to look forward to.
Overall, you can watch it if you are bored or something like that. But not worth that much of attention though. My rat…

Are there people that really look at life as a game, and play and manipulate it and other people for their goals? Could you do it too? Would you even want to? How much could you achieve if you did? Is it good or evil? Is it real or fake?
It is a surprisingly serious, almost scary topic for an anime. I could write a ton about it but let's not turn this review into a philosophy essay. Like any other highly philosophical question, you won't get a definitive answer out of it. There probably isn't one to begin with, so expecting to get it from an anime is a bit much. But just rising the question is already good enough to make this anime worth it. As a bonus you'll get to see the answers that a few of the characters arrived at, no matter if you agree or not, and you'll enjoy the ride they take…

I'd hate to see a good show with genuine, heartfelt content in it be dried up in what could be considered by some a poor adaptation, and by the more autistic fans perhaps a "normie filter".
It's almost disheartening to see how poor the presentation of this show is in general. The art direction is incredibly bland, with the backgrounds showcasing the most generic depictions of modern day Japan in history and Fly's very pretty art being placed into animation that doesn't quite match up with the pristine glittery nature of his designs. The music, while good, is horribly misplaced and and throws off the tones of certain scenes by a substantial amount. The pacing of the adaptation is horrid, with the first 3 episodes whizzing past you without you having even a clue about what's happenign or w…

If there's one way to sell this show in the most perfect situational case scenario, it'd be this starting monologue:
"Life is a God-tier game...or so one famous copypasta goes. But from where I stand, that's complete BS.
You get discriminated against or treated poorly from your face, build and age. No matter how hard you try, if your HP falls to 0, it's all for nothing. All these absurd rules are gone unchallenged.
I'm a good example. Playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Nintendo Switch with classmates when they hear that I'm good at it. Most of the time, I always keep my mouth shut and don't talk...they're unreasonable and unbalanced. That's what life is.
"Only because you're NOT trying!" is what some people would say, that's just some biased thinking from people born as top-tier charact…

Life is nothing but just a game. A game of life that is! Every decision you make will affect what's going on around you, especially your classmates.
Tomozaki Fumiya, our main MC here suprisingly is the best gamer in the popular online game "Tackfam". Despite that, he is actually the bottomless-tier character when it comes to socializing. Lacking social skills and also have a slightly unkempt appearance. Then later meet Aoi Hinami who is a god-tier character, an opposite to Tomozaki-kun. With her social skills, Tomozaki-kun embarks on a journey to become a top-tier character in the game of life.
Throughout the episodes, you'll noticed Tomozaki-kun gradually changing from being an introvert and become better in socializing as he meet new characters especially an energetic and popular girl…

I was really surprised when Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun had a very low score at the beginning. I Really Enjoyed this show. It is true that there were a lot of awkward statements made by our Fumiya-kun But it was so funny that I was barely able to hold my laughter.
::Story::8/10::
The story was quite intriguing. It was satisfying to see a unpopular guy turn into a normal kid with a couple of new friends. And I liked the Idea of having goals to beat in each episode. It was pretty interesting.
::Art::8/10::
The Art was Nice and somewhat different compared to many anime. But there is not much you can point out.
::Sound::8/10::
I didn't have any concerns regarding the sound. If I can say something about it I can say it is calm and refreshing.
::Character::8/10::
The characters are cute and well…

We all have our own ways of separating ourselves from the real world. Video game is a hobby that has become synonymous with society especially with the ongoing worldwide pandemic. Of course, that’s the real world I’m talking about. Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun takes place in a fictional world that shows how one character decided to be a bottom-tier loser. And how does he spend all his time? Playing video games. Talk about being a degenerate.
Based on the light novel, I admit coming into this series intimidated me a bit at first. Watching Tomozaki’s life as a gamer contrasts greatly between his real life image. It’s almost like he’s living a double life. In the virtual world, he is unstoppable and a pro gamer. But from the real world, he’s a friendless loser that people want to avoid. I’m sure…

In a world where terrible humour is rampant and a Super Smash Bros rip-off is so popular that even the outgoing normies play it- cue Tomozaki, a lonely, introverted, outcast of the society. Uh oh, you know what that means right? He has all the qualities to be an epic gamer! Can't we all relate to that?
Out of all the tropes in anime, this trope of how the number one player of any popular game has to be an introverted sad freak who is unsuccessful in life and unable to fit in, is the worst trope ever. It's a dumb and illogical trope. Think about it, if you're the number one player of a very popular game, are you really unsuccessful? Does it really mean that you have no talent and no one has a use for you? Ever heard of e-sports? Let's just say that there's no e-sports in the world of this…

I want to iterate this before all else being it’s important: This is not nearly as gimmicky as the synopsis puts it. Not only is it arguably one of the most fascinating and culturally relevant anime that has aired in the last decade or so, but it’s a show that contains genuine character exploration and growth.
I can’t blame you for thinking that sounds impossible based on the surface level display this show gives off. Though it’s simplistic and very much adapted from a light novel, it’s fully aware of both its audience and the landscape of anime similar to it. It demonstrably stresses the importance of self-improvement, but primarily it's biting against irrational subconscious anti-social mindsets that cause people anguish.
Fittingly to this narrative, Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun opens with…

In a season packed full of highly anticipated sequels, Tomozaki-Kun rose to the top and became my favourite show of the season. Week after week, episodes flew by in what seemed like a few minutes. The characters and premise of the show provided one of the more memorable experiences I’ve had with a slice of life in some time.
For me, Tomozaki-Kun is what most people THINK Oregairu is. The concept of a socially inept loser going from a shut-in to normal high schooler is flawlessly executed here. Normally in these types of shows, the MC’s character development doesn’t feel organic or realistic. Either the MC moves too fast, or too slow. Here we have a protagonist who takes gradual but sure steps out of his comfort zone in order to improve himself and make genuine connections with others. Wee…
