Personal stats: as of Aug 2025, I have completed 185 anime with a mean score of 7.33.
My Senpai Is Annoying score: 6/10.
I really liked My Senpai Is Annoying at first. The characters are cute, the interactions are fun, and the premise felt like it could turn into a sweet little romance. For the first half of the series, it really delivers on that feeling.
But after that, things start to lose their charm. The side characters get more story and development than the main pair, and despite the anime covering about two years in-universe, the main relationship hardly moves forward at all. Most episodes end up being the same: teasing, lighthearted banter, and cute moments, but with no real progress.
Because of this, the ending feels unsatisfying. From what I’ve read, a second season isn’t like…

I would definitely recommend this anime to anyone (and check out the manga if you want, it's also good)
I read the manga first and I cannot say that I was disappointed. I loved this anime so much, I couldn't stop smiling, and it hurt my face, then I couldn't stop laughing. Futaba is adorable and funny, I love her personality, its perfect for the scenes and it reminds me exactly the kind of person she is.
My rating: 10/10, I loved how I felt watching this and I was actually relaxed and happy so bonus points given where its due. also I love the soundtrack and art style.

The series had its moments, but oh boy, did it test my patience at times!
The story follows Futaba, a young office worker who's constantly at odds with her senpai, Harumi. Their dynamic is... complicated, to say the least. Harumi's condescending attitude and constant meddling in Futaba's work drove me crazy, but at the same time, I couldn't help but be drawn to their quirky relationship.
The supporting cast was a highlight for me - especially their coworkers, who brought some much-needed comic relief. The animation was also top-notch, with vibrant colors and expressive character designs that perfectly captured the drudgery and humor of office life.
However, the pacing felt a bit uneven, and some plot points were left underdeveloped. And don't even get me started on Harumi's infuriating…

Is it just me or do they not exactly clarify what they do for a living?
Maybe I forgot, because I started watching this anime last year and only now finished watching it. But it feels like everything they do is just vague, "Did you file that paper?" or "I have a presentation with client." stuff most anime do, trying to make it look like they do something.
Anyway, THAT bit aside, this anime is just OK. The height joked got old after the first episode, so the rest of the show wasn't left with anything else. There are no exciting encounters, no fan service, setting is just regular Japan and the relationship between MC and her "senpai" feels platonic.
Really, it feels like the writer had a loli fetish.. a loli working a serious job in drab business clothes. That's why the anime exists. Eit…

My Senpai is Annoying (Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi) is an entertaining slice-of-life anime that will leave you with a smile on your face. The story revolves around the workplace relationship between two co-workers, Futaba Igarashi and Harumi Takeda. Futaba is a hardworking and determined woman who takes her job seriously, while Harumi is a carefree individual who often gets in Futaba's way. The show follows their daily interactions, as they navigate their professional and personal lives.
One of the most charming aspects of this anime is the dynamic between Futaba and Harumi. Despite their differences, they develop a sweet and genuine friendship/relationship that is heartwarming to watch. The comedy is also well executed. The animation style is vibrant and colorful, with a playful and…

Its a shame that this anime is really just a father and daughter relationship figure type rather than a romance between Futaba and Takeda. The only thing that makes it an actual couple are Kazama and Sakurai. And even if that couple exists, They’re not much of a main character, which makes it really fall short for an anime that is about romance. Nevertheless its a decent anime to watch with ok storyline and fine art, just not really amazing from what I can tell since you can see that I gave this a 5.
Now, I would only give plus points if they made Kazama and Sakurai as part of the main character since they follow the format of romance for this anime, hence the anime’s genre says its about romance, not only just Takeda and Futaba. It will only happen if the second season comes out hell ev…

If you are looking for a relaxing funny romance anime 'My senpai is annoying' is what u are looking for.
The story is setup in an office where the protagonist of the anime Futaba Igarashi works with her senpai Takeda harumi.
Futaba is a very small woman that is a lot of the times mistaken for a little girl.Takeda however is a big guy.
Even though they are completely different from each other as the story goes on the bond between the 2 becomes stronger and stronger.
The anime is truly amazing and enjoyable and its honestly one of the best romance comedies out there.

Okay, one thing first, I don't hate the show. I think it has some solid moments and it can be cute and wholesome.
The thing that bothers me the most is the pacing. No matter how likable the characters are, there is barely any progress. The main couple just stays in the same pace as the beginning for twelve episodes long. Yes, there are some moments they become a little bit closer, but they just revert back and it gets annoying and boring to watch.
The dude is supposed to be annoying I guess, hence the title, but the way he just keeps seeing her as a child is getting old and I'm sick of it.
Little rant: also getting sick of this trend how some people seem to think every girl when they become a woman have big boobs and are tall. Bodies don't work like that. Stop thinking that every small p…

I am really happy that this came out. Honestly, most of the shows coming out now, no matter the genre, have me wishing for better shows especially with amount boob shots and/or ecchi scenes that do literally nothing to add. That being said, this anime is a much-needed break. I would not say that this show offers the most development nor is it the most complex plot but that is what I like about it. just the fact that it is simple and cute I am giving the rating that I am. It is comedy - romance, in that order. Recommend.

My sempai is annoying.....You can say that again, so let get down to business.
Story-Mediocre 5: What we basically have here was a combination of Toradora with Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san, Service X Service and Working, but with a sub romance pertaining to Sakurai and Kazama has that added Wotaku in it and we can see that a certain original Creator , named Shiromanta got his inspiration from those said anime.
Art-Good 7: Cu'z there were those quintessential swimsuit services where we see both Kurobe, Natsumi and Sakurai, Touko being hot.
Sound-fair 6: Cu'z I basically have no qualms as to who did who.
Character-Mediocre 5: For the Takeda, Harumi X Igarashi, Futaba was more like a Toradora romance, where we have a tsundere/damsel In distress Igarashi in a what can be called as a sempai…

As far as the Slice of Life genre goes, this anime isn't far from the standard despite its mature setting. If you've read the synopsis on this anime's page, you'd know that this show is set in an urban, business-heavy setting. Most of the characters are fully grown adults with paying jobs, and a decent amount of experience in the real world. So with that, you'd expect a romantic comedy with seinen-oriented humor, right? Well, that's not exactly what you get.
I went into this anime thinking the humor and common struggles would be par for the course office life stuff. In reality, this show mostly just feels like another high school slice of life, despite the separate setting. It doesn't exactly go the extra mile to properly use its setting as a driving force for what happens. Most scenes co…

Don't be fooled my the high mal score for this show. Its honestly the most mid tier show of the year. The show has flat character dynamics with repetitive jokes. The main loli girl cries in almost every episode over nonsensical crap. It adds nothing new to the rom com genre. People that are giving this high ratings are people who have never watched a rom com before. Because there are loads of actually good rom coms that at least try to be different. Watching it weekly was fine but if I tried to binge watch this I'd probably get bored right away.

I"m not diabetic, but the sweetness of this anime pretty much warmed my heart on this dreadful season this pandemic.
I started this anime last 2 months ago and waited every week, expecting something to calm my troubled self. And on every week full of stress and problems that this world continuously offers, there's at least a day of pure bliss and relaxation that I can sit down and enjoy a slight moment of my life because of Senpai Ga Uzai.
Expecting a generic romance full of cliched setups and is targeted to horny teenage males, this anime is truly far from that. What awaits is a much more mature writing that surely may not be relatable, yet manages to become slightly more realistic and humorous due to the nature of the characters themselves.
Spoiler-free review of course — it's hila…

IF YOU'RE TIRED OF THE HIGH SCHOOL ROMANCE SETTING THIS IS FOR YOU.
First of all, I know some of you had read the manga and some of you watched this because of the disappointment (Spoiler) that "Wotakoi" won't have a second season after those post-credit scenes from the OVA. Or maybe some of you got interested and tried to watch this series. (Some spoilers may be in this short review).
Ok let me make this nice and short. "Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi" or in English Titled "My Senpai is Annoying" is a wholesome, cute and cheesy romance anime that is set in a sales office setting. All of the characters in this anime are lovable and somewhat relatable if you're in the line of office work. The story between Igarashi and Takeda is fine as it is, some may get weirded out because of their h…

It's a rom-com, I don't know why I expected more. They end the anime by managing to be under the same umbrella together... The anime character archetypes of big strong guy small defenseless girl are kind of annoying but the anime has cute art and char interaction. The story not going farther than the first episode is pretty trash to be honest.
This is the section where I spam word count because this review system requires me to meet a minimum requirement while writing. A minimum requirement would force me to talk more about the anime and perhaps give you a better understanding of the work itself. However, this also encourages me to talk about specific parts of the anime and thus give more spoilers than needed in a review. They're also destroy creative integrity by forcing people to meet m…

Hey you short stuff! Yes, up here! Listen up. As someone who used to like rom-coms, I can confidently say that My Senpai is Annoying (MSA) is the best rom-com, and probably romance of the year. Yes, you heard me. Now, let’s jump right in!
For those unfamiliar with the show, its premise is not too different from rom-coms or sit-coms like The Office, Parks and Rec and Wotakoi. However, MSA is actually a lot less comedy oriented to the point I would actually consider the series to be mostly just a sweet and wholesome romance-slice of life. While shows like The Office and Parks and Rec focus on comedy hijinks and Wotakoi is more about otaku culture, MSA genuinely wants to just show you who our characters are as people and the really cute ways they interact with each other, particularly with o…

The title is misleading. Well, sort of, just not in the way you think.
When I first glanced at the promotional picture of My Senpai is Annoying, along with its anime title, I instinctively thought the “annoying” part was applied to the big, muscular guy in the promotion picture: Futaba Igarashi’s senpai, Harumi Takeda. I thought this show was going to center its gags, plot, and moments around Takeda actively teasing and annoying Igarashi to no end. I was proven wrong. The “annoying” part is really from the perspective of Igarashi. In the office space that she has been working in for the past two years, Igarashi wants to impress her co-workers and her senpai. It’s the natural thing to do. But given her unusually short height, cute, and charming personality, Igarashi’s co-workers and her s…

An actual *GOOD* rom-com in this dry season.
I almost missed this anime simply because I was so inclined to believe that there wasn't really anything to my liking to watch in comparison to mindlessly watching whatever for the sake of then writing some insincere copypasta-esque about it. Then I found out that this was a romance anime and thought I'd give it a try anyway since I quite like romance anime.
Watching this anime in this dry season was a very good choice on my part.
What we have here, is a *GOOD* rom-com filled with just about every cliche imaginable. A simple innovation of the common plot devices, with the selling point being another mutually simple essence of clarity. I'm sure I don't need to iterate for the 42351st time now, having been a fan of down-to-earth material with a…

Ever wondered what's like to see what the office work environment in a slice of life comedy? Now you can see it with your eyes because My Senpai Is Annoying delivers the satisfaction of entertainment between two unlikely co-workers.
At first glance, My Senpai Is Annoying might trigger some red flags due to the appearances of the two main leads. Takeda looks like someone who is old enough to be Futaba's dad. But don't let that fool you. Futaba is a older than she looks despite having the appearance of a teenager. Whenever you see the duo together, it looks like a mismatch because how different they are. And really, Futaba displays the personality of a child when she's with Takeda. The title of the anime speaks for itself because she finds senpai Takeda annoying. Or does she....?

Wageslave propaganda or wholesome romcom? You decide! On today’s episode of “Get a Job, You Filthy NEET!”
Seriously, what should this sub-genre even be called? The Declining Japanese Birthrates Genre? Newcomers may not know what I’m talking about, but over the past few years, we’ve been getting a lot of anime like this where, by contrast to the usual highschool romcom, we get a show that has every tangible element of a highschool romcom, that looks and feels exactly like a highschool romcom, and that features a cast of characters whose behavior and emotional maturity is fundamentally indistinguishable from those in highschool romcoms, but which instead takes place in an office around allegedly adult characters. The initial thinking was that anime fans were growing up, graduating from high…
