I really enjoyed this anime from the beginning but not until the end!
The advantage of this anime is that it has comedy which is quite funny, so you won't get bored watching every episode.
Cute character designs and good graphic quality that will spoil the eyes.
The storyline is quite interesting for those of you who like Harem anime.
But unfortunately this anime has a weakness, namely the ending!
The last episode was even filled with debates which I don't think are very important! Especially for a character named Shino! I really hate it!
What business did he have to lecture other people's relationships? I think it's up to them whether they want to be ambiguous or not, Shino has no right to make useless questions about their relationship.
Honestly, this really annoys me, if only there we…

Okay so his dude dates 2 girls openly at the same time and I’m assuming he gets the other 2 later in the manga. Yup. Fucking Christ, why am I watching this shit? I will not watch season 2, I refuse to. I actually showed this one to my brother as a warning not to venture on his own in anime like I did. I will not lose another to the void. I will not have him saying to me, “hey [redacted]? I watched Domestic Girlfriend.” If that happens I think it’s just time to put him down. But... here’s the thing. The most difficult part about a show like this is to make the main character likable, and not a complete scumbag. How do they do this? By making him a straight forward dumbass. And I kinda like that. Not the whole cheating openly but I kinda like his character. He’s so boisterous and lively that…

GIRLFRIEND GIRLFRIEND (GFGF) DESERVES MORE LOVE. ME AND THE 7 OTHER GFGF FANS (with one of those fans being the irl friend who watched it with me) ARE IN THE TRENCHES!!!
when reading this review and watching the anime, please take this with only an ounce of seriousness. both exist to be enjoyed in good fun and arent meant to be judged by the same standards as, say, neon genesis evangelion and jojos bizarre adventure. with that outta the way, lets get down to the nitty gritty, ok?
-* SPOILER FREE BTW *-
girlfriend girlfriend is fucking awesome. it accomplished something no other harem anime has ever done before: be appealing to girls. youd assume that the main selling point of a harem anime is the waifu roster, right? well, if you were expecting rare, never-before-seen girls then this i…

A man and four women become entangled in a web of jealousy, shame, and cuckoldry…
Once in a while, controversial anime like Kanojo mo Kanojo come along and strike a nerve with the audience. These anime can become successes and get praised by fans. Or they can become punching bags—a joke to the whole community. It would be easy to write off KanoKano as cringe, degenerate, and trash, as so many already have, but don’t be so hasty.
Accusing Girlfriend, Girlfriend of being cringe is like saying Gintama isn’t historically accurate. You haven’t figured out something that isn’t obvious. Of course, it is cringy, degenerate, and trashy—harem anime usually are. Most of them are testosterone-induced fantasies written by men. But they cover this fact with melodrama and superficial depth. KanoKano do…

It was so bad, I forgot I even watched it. The first episode is somewhat funny, but the joke gets old really fast. It ain't great.
Do I seriously need to write more to publish this? It's just another mediocre romcom, can't say much about it. I would like it more if it really tried to show polyamorous relationships in a more serious light, focusing on what it is, and what problems people in them are facing. I don't really hate it, but it's just another harem anime, filled with fanservice of underage girls.
That whole two-timing is just a poor excuse to make unfunny jokes, and of course, bring every character under the same roof. It's another show, in which the parents of our main character (Naoya) are absent from the life of their kid. So yeah, two main girls come to live together, and t…

Have you ever dated a girl so insecure, your relationship was plagued with codependence, suspicion, and all-around toxicity?
Have you ever dated two of them /at the same time/?
Kanojo mo Kanojo is an incredible piece of art that deconstructs the harem genre by introducing a protagonist who establishes his harem in the first episode - and in no ambiguous terms either. By allowing MC Naoya to officially date not just one, but two high school girls, the show will be heralded for years after as the harbinger of polyamory in modern romcom anime. Absolutely nothing can go wrong with this premise!
Enter Saki, the OG (Original Girlfriend). VA Ayane Sakura does an incredible job of portraying this high school girl whose feisty character is enough to hide the fact that she is the epitome of an ea…

This is probably the most infuriating anime I have ever watched. The characters are complete garbage and have negative braincells, everything the main character does is dramatic. Nothing makes any sense and every time someone talks their characters gets even worse. This is truly one of the worst anime I have watched and not so bad that is good like other works such as kiss x sis or domestic girlfriend. This was truly a sad and infuriating experience and do not recommend this anime to anyone. I am giving this a 2 out of 10 just because at least I was able to watch it.

After reading some of the reviews for this show, I had a general impression on what it’s basic concept was. And basic is all I thought it to be, however I decided to give it a chance since I can appreciate even the most standard of plots (easy to please). Girlfriend Girlfriend ended up being everything I thought it would be and everything I didn’t. Honestly though, I can't believe some of the other reviewers on this site had a bad impression, since, for me, this show is fantastic. It’s difficult to put into words but I’ll try. Girlfriend Girlfriend, I’ll just call it Gf Gf, surprised me with their approach to “Harem”. I’ve seen plenty shows like what I thought this show to be, raunchy and absurd with plenty of fan service. But what jumped out at me most was the surprising lack of raunchy a…

Like all anime seasons, titles of different genres, plots and archetypes appear to fill the gap by season of animes that, according to this viewer, "are watched and forgotten", those titles that will only be remembered one week after it end.
In this case, we have the "typical" Romance-Comedy- Harem anime with the absurdities of writers who live locked up in their home (virgins, of course). With that we have: Kanojo mo Kanojo …
Story.
The series follows Naoya Mukai, who had recently begun a relationship with his childhood friend Saki Saki. Nagisa Minase, his classmate of her, decides to confess her feelings of her to him as well where he accepts. Naoya decides that he will have both Saki and Nagisa as g…

This is my first and likely only review so sorry if it's bad
I think there is some sort of misconception among the viewers of Kanojo mo Kanojo that it is a bad anime. What exactly is "bad" and what isn't is entirely up to you to decide by yourself. So why do most people think Kanojo mo Kanojo is bad? It's because of pretty much everything it has to offer. They don't like the characters and how over the top and stupid they are. They don't like how cringe the show becomes at times and how hard it could become to watch. It's exactly these traits that make this anime so great in my opinion. It seems that there are a surprising amount of people that are not aware that this is a gag anime. Gag anime aren't really meant to be taken seriously they are meant to make you laugh. So is it really fair…

This anime is amazing. I went into this show without knowing anything about it and enjoyed it immensely. This is a hilarious anime about a man that does his best to make the girls he cares about happy.
If I was to describe what really make this show great it would be the characters. The ridiculous premise definitely helps, but really it's the characters that do a fantastic job of taking that premise and maximizing the comedy. The characters all look great, are very well voice acted, and have great interactions with each other. Even the main male character added a lot to the show by being a very atypical protagonist for this type of show. He's a man that knows what's important to him and fights to protect it regardless of conventional morals and without concern about how other people would…

This anime is quality. Its story points may not be the most original. 'Average Japanese school boy getting a harem' - doesn't sound too inspiring, but as it turned out you don't need to make insanely original premise for a work of fiction to be enjoyable.
So, this anime turned out to be really well made and this is why:
1) Humor is on point as it's not too trashy and not too boring - perfect balance. It's a bit on a 'weeby' side with its fan service and Japanese culture. But it still should be pretty watchable for normie people.
2) This anime is easy to watch. It's 'believable' and characters feel alive. It's not some obscure stuff which could be hard to follow.
3) Art and sound - all good, no eye piercing CGI. Picture has unique art style and nice color palette.
4) Pacing of the stor…

Is this anime trash? Yes, it is
Does it deserve the score? Yes
But does it mean it’s an unenjoyable anime? Not at all
Following in the footsteps of the new trash kanojo / girlfriend series (Domestic Girlfriend and Rent a Girlfriend), Girlfriend Girlfriend is here to refill the box of trash shows that are stupidly funny and enjoyable. At first, it sounds dumb; “Why would I watch a show where a dude gets 2 girls and actively two times them?” but once you turn on this, you won’t be disappointed (unless you are expecting a good anime).
Plot is simple. Saki Saki a childhood friend of Naoya because his girlfriend after 10 years. They are the most lovey dovey couple ever, expressing their love in the public. Though, a classmate called Nagisa Minase has skipped school for months to perfect hers…

“Sharknado is a 2013 American made-for-television sci-fi disaster film about a waterspout that lifts sharks out of the ocean and deposits them in Los Angeles” (Wikipedia). When you read this description, how do you think this movie performed? Surely a box-office bomb, with horrible ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, reviews shitting on it left, right and center, and the producers wondering what could possibly have gone wrong right?
Well, Sharknado proved everyone wrong. It racked up millions of views over the weeks following its initial screening, developed a cut following, and even garnered a 78% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus stating “Proudly, shamelessly, and gloriously brainless, Sharknado redefines 'so bad it's good' for a new generation."
Why might I be bringing up Sharknad…

KanoKano is the definitive fulfilment of the harem romcom idea. For years I’ve waited for a romcom series with an MC who’s not afraid of women, embraces their advances and takes risks. Finally, after all this time I have one.
While the above may seem hyperbolic, I can’t emphasise enough how much I love KanoKano. From episode one I was hooked. The waifus, humour, lack of traditional harem cliches and genuinely hilarious comedy made it one of the most enjoyable anime I’ve seen in a long time. For the entire season this has been the show I look towards the most weekly. It’s not for everyone. If you want character development, quality writing and all that other jazz, you won’t find it here. If you’re able to turn your brain off and realise not everything has to be Shakespearean, then you’ll l…

Remember when harem anime used to be memorable? Anime like High School DxD and The Familiar of Zero established a fanbase and continues to this day. In recent years, we had an onslaught of underwhelming harem shows. I legit can't remember the last time I found a harem anime that can even be remotely recommendable. That is...until I ran into Kanojo no Kanojo.
Make no mistake. This anime is exactly what it sounds like from the premise and it doesn't shy to exmplify that. Meet Naoya Mukai, the high school student who somehow got involved with not one but two girls in a dramatic love triangle. This sounds like every healthy high school male student's fantasy. For Naoya, his brutal honesty doesn't hold him back to express such feelings and attraction. In fact, the show sells his personality at…

This anime is hilarious, and don't feel pressured by anime "standards" to hide your true feelings if you think so too.
Let me pose a question. What is the reason why we watch anime, and on a larger spectrum, consume all varieties of media? Is it so we can critically dissect all of the aspects of a show and nitpick on all of its faults? While I'm sure this can be...fun?...for some (and a headache for others haha), I don't think so. It's because of entertainment. We crave excitement, something that can function as a brief escape from our realities and act as a stimulus for our minds. That to me is the key component of all media, regardless of genre. While there are a variety of factors that can contribute to a work of fiction being a success, to me it ultimately boils down to two things: D…

Have you heard of "fake stories within a story?"
Take the "Home Alone" franchise, for example. Kevin McCallister spends his Winter holiday evenings watching the noir movie "Angels with Filthy Souls." The fake film and its fake sequel are really funny mafia parodies; despite not originating from an actual movie, "Merry Christmas, ya' filthy animal" is still an incredibly iconic movie line. Both of these sketches are short and sweet, with each sitting at under 2 minutes. I call them fake stories because they're clearly not meant to hold any narrative importance. The same goes for a sappy romance manga titled "Go Sweet" that Shirogane and the gang read in "Love is War." All we know about the manga is that it resembles a bunch of common shoujo plotlines, but to our characters it's a bestselli…

Have you ever watched an anime you hated at first but then came to like it? That's my experience with Kanojo mo Kanojo. "Like" is an understatement though, because I found myself laughing my ass off watching pretty much every episode. In a season which suffered from the "lack of good shit" syndrome, Kanojo mo Kanojo had legitimately been my favorite anime to watch. Yes, legitimately.
First, let's get the bad things out of the way. If you don't enjoy "dumb", "illogical" anime and dislike the awkward two-timing concept of KmK, chances are that you won't like the show either. This is very clearly a hit-or-miss series, you are either going to love it or hate it. Even someone like me, who absolutely adores the show now, had a rough time sitting through the first episode. It wasn't because of t…

Polygamy is a difficult subject. Animes prove this. Harem shows try to treat their romances with increasingly repetitive approaches and at the same time don't know what to do often when it comes to finishing a show. Authors and storyboard creators have the difficult task of concluding the story and convincing the audience at the same time. Kanojo mo Kanojo arrived bringing a very different form of love that exceeds a couple, putting on a relationship that, while seeming innovative and different, demonstrates how lostand desperate romance animes are these days.
For those who don't know, "polygamy" is an emotional relationship in a group with more than 2 people. This kind of thing is still a controversial debate, because it not only involves the group of people involved, but also the entir…
