As I wrote in my review of season 1, Kaguya: Love is War feels like the characters were generated by a machine learning model prompted to create the most generic leads possible: Kaguya and Miyuki are even less compelling than stock tsunderes, Ishigami is your rinsed-and-repeat otaku, and Chika is the embodiment of every single deredere trait possible.
There's no story here: every single episodes starts and ends at the same place. The characters spend most of their time within the confines of the student council room, and little, if any, character development ever happens. The plot, of two characters attempting to convince the other to confess their love, is held together by the flimsiest twine possible The story relies on the cast acting like caricatures of real people, and the jokes fall…

Only first four episodes of the first season were watchable, everything else is just cringy sentimentalism and penis jokes. This season really disappointed me,
I was hoping to see some kind of evolution, but this series really loves the status quo. Was Chika meant to be funny? Every one of her appearances made me want to drop this idiotic show.
Don't be fooled, guys. References to other media were the only things that made this anime stand out among the others all season (which was really bad).
I'll give it a 3 because production was decent and the opening is catchy.

not RomCom. just a comedy show.
It's not even funny.
Story is written very badly. or in this case; very average. mostly boring. = 4/10
Art very average 4/10
Sound kind of ok = 5/10
Character = Ok 4/10 I can sort of enjoy it if I turn of my brain. But I won't spend a cent for this anime.
That.s how bad it is. Not worth the money.
Is a great starter anime for noops though.
newby will easily find this anime fun to watch as it is easy to understand. Very easy to understand, if they can't understand; probably had some serious problem on the education ends.
This anime does teach some values, but are mostly crooked. Don't try similar things if you go to japan unless you want to be an actors.
Then again, this is something like for fantasy. This anime do not need you to be a litter good i…

Ok so wtf was studio A-1 Pictures's exe were thinking when they decided to come up with a sequel of this anime, given that this simple just ended in a opening ending where nether Kaguya nor Miyuke had confess their love for each other and IMAO, that last episode's ending was just too too lame to say the least....so let's get down to brass tax:
Story- Mediocre 5: The first one was just A "OK" but as somebody decides to make a sequel of this anime, well, from there it was just mediocre and IMAO, there was just no fun in it anymore.....When nothing has change, It would have been better if the last episode features Miyuki's term as president ended and that's the part where they should've given the open ending where both Miyuki and Kaguya were attempting to confess to each other.
Art- Medioc…

I've always thought of Kaguya-sama as a mediocre happy show offering nothing more than comedies just for laugh. Not until I watched the second season where my entire perspective of the series changed dramatically. Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai?: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen, or the second season of Kaguya-sama offers more than just comedies.
The second season of Kaguya-sama offers more aspects of High school. Which of course obviously include depression and tiresome. Now people might be thinking, "won't that just ruin the reputation of the show as a comedy high school?". I think otherwise. And apparently a lot of people agrees with me, judging by the skyrocketing score this season has received which is nearly as high as Steins;gate!!
I'll be honest. I started this not expecting much but…

This season kaguya-sama: love is war is the most popular, funniest and most enjoyable title, and although it is true that there was not much competition, the series is as good as many think?, we will know, I will try to make the most complete review possible.
Story
The main plot is very mundane and weak, so I will just say that, like other series of its kind, it is just an excuse for history to exist and It will not be relevant until a climax, it must also be said that it is irrelevant because it is not that the series ends only because The objective of our protagonists was achieved, which is to confesses their feeling (or rather that the other confesses their feelings).
Character
kaguya and miyuki are well characterized and have very good jokes, my problem is that their main joke is…

The first season of Kaguya-sama: Love is War was a breakout success. With its over the top direction and comedy along with its cast of well-rounded characters with amazing chemistry, the show became easily one of A-1 Pictures’ best works. On top of that, it was helmed by an acclaimed director of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, Shinichi Omata. Not only did he return for a second season, but the show would be adapting material manga fans consider to generally be better than what the first 12 episodes covered. With such lofty expectations, it’s difficult to see how a show would really top itself, at least until you see it in action.
Visually speaking, it’s an absolute oddity. There are moments where the show tries to escape its blander art style and delve more into something different and mor…

Love is war season 2 is the saviour of the spring 2020 anime season undeniably.This anime is like Moses that parted the red sea of despair and disappointment of the spring 2020 anime. The spring 2020 anime season was supposed to be filled with amazing anime and sequels that would entertain and hype us up amidst the unforeseen virus that has befallen on humanity out of nowhere. But with the suddenly lockdown in Japan , many anime were postponed to the upcoming season. Many shows were postponed left and right and to be honest , I thought that the spring 2020 anime roster will be left with bang average anime. When news announced that Love is war season 2 was going on as scheduled, I was glad that at least there will be a hyped anime that was going to air now. And thankfully , I can say withou…

Overall, another solid season. I don't think it was as good as the first season, but it has some really great moments. I think a large part of why it wasn't as good was because there was no important climax in Miyuki and Kaguya's relationship like the first season. Although some could argue that something like that wasn't needed because we had Ishigami's arc as the main focus in the last few episodes, which I really enjoyed, I still feel like the the season petered out. There isn't as much fuel or drive behind Miyuki and Kaguya's conflict as there was at the end of the first season.
That said, the quality of the show was consistent throughout, reaching the same level of quality as the first season. I love the animation and the voice acting is so good and really entertaining to listen to.…

This is such a good anime and the first season was a blast even the second season started with wonderfully. But lately I was so disappointed going into the last 4 5 episodes. I mean they were exceptionally good episodes but it was all about friendship or sometimes just to make you laugh or the emotional episode of Ishigami. But there were no or hardly any episodes related to Miyuki and Kaguya. Production wise it was worst. If all these episodes were on the beginning side it would still be fine but it had the worst possible ending. If I wanted to watch something about friendship and have a laugh wouldn't I watch The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. The ending episodes were really disapointing.

Kaguya Sama s2 is everything that we got in season 1, but 100x better. Simply put, it’s one of the best adaptations I’ve ever seen.
Admittedly, season one of Kaguya sama was pretty meh to me. It definitely had some highlights like the final arc, but for large swaths of it, I felt bored. Kaguya-sama season 2 represents a total shift for me. The series keeps the same comedy that it had during the first season, but there’s definitely a lot more serious moments this time around. Every episode gripped me and went by quickly, to the point where I still don’t know how the hell 12 episodes have gone by this fast.
Part of the reason I’ve enjoyed this season so much is that the source material being adapted is just flat out better than last season. The new characters introduced are fun and the s…

“Are you having a normie moment?” ~Ishigami Yuu
That's us Kaguya-sama fans to all those not enjoying it.
The battle of love between the idiotic geniuses tried to answer the age-old question of "If two tsundere fell in love would they ever find out" is back at it better then ever with season 2.
• STORY: 9/10
The story offering a premise so simple anyone can get behind it but captures the attention of the reader with its funny and entertaining mind games which make the viewer wonder if these characters are stupid or genius!? The answer to that only comes out as a "YES" cause it matters little if they are smart or not they are adorable and as the age-old saying goes:
"KAWAII IS JUSTICE"
• ART: 9/10
The art style of the anime in comparison to the manga is a bit different and can feel unnatu…

Do you know why kaguya sama so popular? Yes because theres a chika - chika dance in ed eps 3 season 1. It became a hot trending in internet until people busy choreographed this dance from various circles both children, teen, adults, men and women.
But it is all just a teaser honestly this anime provides outstanding comedy quality that are comparable to Seto no Hanayome n gekkan shoujo nozaki kun.
For you who have never watched it, then watch it seriously, you will regret it if u miss it due to not only give Romcom but theres also friendship inside. Who have pass S1 let us continue about S2
In S2 I felt there was a slight decrease in comedy quality which proved that in S1 it usually made me laugh until I coughed but in S2 I only laughed loudly. But on the other hand there are a lot of ch…

If someone shits on Kaguya-sama in front of me, I have only one reply for them. “Urusai, baaka!”
Kaguya-sama: Love is War was a great show and one of my favorites of the year 2019. It had an entertaining cast of main characters, a group of just as amusing side characters that made an appearance every now and then, and to freshen things up, a simple yet compelling tale about two geniuses trying to outwit each other in a totally contrasting way to Light and L from Death Note, with top tier comedy to top it all off. It had certain elements that we’d previously seen but the overall product of everything it offered was something very unique.
Now, take everything I said above and add a progressive plot, some more characters who’re just as delightful as the ones introduced last season and the p…

Me: “Pfft. What’s everybody raving about? This anime is just a generic romcom and isn’t that good at all!”
Narrator: “He is lying. He’s actually an embarrassingly huge Kaguya-sama: Love is War fanboy and laughs hysterically at just about every joke in the show.”
Ok, I can’t hide it, I really enjoy this anime. The 1st season of Love is War wound up being the unquestionable anime of 2019 for me, and I'm pleased to announce that this sequel matches every bit of the quality and charm of its predecessor. What, you don't believe that a simple romcom could possibly be as good as I claim? How cute. Let me enlighten you to the brilliance that is Love is War.
Love is War continues its trend from the first season of combining humorous character interactions with psychological battles of wits- oh w…

Are you ready to be graced by the charming Kaguya that we all got to know? Want about how much Miyuki has grown since the first season? Want to know how much love this season 2 gives to the fans? I got good news for you because Kaguya-sama Season 2 leaves no shortage for high expectations. You came to this sequel so be prepare for enlightenment by a show that reaches even greater heightss.
The alluring appeal of Kaguya-sama comes from an exquisite colorful cast of characters. From the start, we should know this isn’t just a typical rom-com with lovey-dovey episodes. Rather than just producing romance, Kaguya-sama is known for its psychological warfare, or as in some people calls it, ‘love is war’. After all, we have a story about how Kaguya and Miyuki are both in a mental battle with each…

Kaguya sama wa kokurasetai season 2 is the disappointment of the season. It has its ups and downs, the ups being the final three episodes, and the downs being the rest of the season. Only the final three episodes provide any sense of progression, be it for the characters or for the plot. Ishigami’s long awaited character arc was freaking fantastic, but the same can’t be said about the other characters'.
Even after 24 episodes have aired, many of the characters are as bland as they were in the first episode of the first season. I was able to overlook this in season 1, because I don’t expect the author to be able to completely characterize and develop the personalities of four main characters in the span of 12 episodes, but I do expect that, or at least half of that, to happen within 24 epi…

This show is like my migraines.
This is one of those anime which is so shallow as to be describable by a single word, and in this case, that word is “noise.” Never before has there been an anime which does so much visually which is this artistically lifeless and falls into this many archetypical trappings. Despite all the cutesy little nods and prods found in its (largely unanimated) on-screen jokes and jabs, every visual detail it overwhelms you with can hardly be called thoughtful and invariably boils down to a bunch of visual noise meaning nothing because nothing is actually happening intellectually, thematically, or—if you ask me—comedically, and the references it thinks itself so cultured and smart for including are never done artfully enough to appear as anything more than utterly p…

This season; the boy won't be raised; the cutes lack the hows; Chika doesn't dance. But.. even Haddaway will get to know what tsundere's heart disease is. *Oddly loud Rick whisperer meme* "It's war. He is referring to the war part. Ch [burp].. check the title, it's in there somewhere."
**Disclaimer: Miko is a very capable person and we all love her very much. You may disagree but know that no one's gonna call you a homie where I am from.
Without further ado,
The first 3 episodes are mediocre. After that Kaguya returns to its track with witty humor and new direction. The author seemed to be lost for a short while when he couldn't figure out whether to start strenghtening the already existing cast members with details or try and expand the universe of this series. At the end, he end up d…

Kaguya-sama: Love is War is an anime that came out during Winter 2019 and since then, it has become quite a very popular and well-received series. I'm not going to lie, I liked the first season a lot when it first came out, but my tastes towards anime and things as a whole has changed a lot since that period, in fact I don't like the first season that much anymore, so my negative perspective towards this new one would probably apply to the first season too if I re-watched it. Or perhaps, Kaguya-sama just outstayed its welcome.
As I said before, I'm not sure I'd like the first season if I re-watched it, but I'm dead sure that it w…
