Honestly, this show deserves way better than a 6.6. I get it, the first few episodes look like your typical ecchi harem with ridiculous fanservice, and I almost dropped it too. But stick with it, because there's actually something meaningful here. Without spoiling anything, the later episodes completely flip the script on what you think you're watching. It tackles some surprisingly deep themes about AI, what makes relationships real, and the nature of consciousness. Yeah, it's not a masterpiece, but it's doing something way more interesting than most harem anime out there.
If you're thinking about watching this, please don't judge it by the rating alone. A lot of people bailed after 2-3 episodes and never saw where the story was actually heading. The ecchi stuff and generic-looking setup?…

Unhinged beginning, strong middle, drawn out ending, disappointing finale. First episodes, I thought it's as demented as FLCL or the deer girl, except sexually. Nope, it actually has a very strong story with a powerful plot twist, all the early shenanigans completely justified by solid lore. Too bad at the end the showrunners lacked the balls to give us a daring, solid, strong end, and instead went for pointless filler and teary "shouldn't have existed" and "It's better that way" melodrama.
It's much better than I thought it to be (actual solid story!) but not as good as it could be (chickened out about fully utilizing the premise).
I hope one day it gets a good remake with last 4 episodes swapped out for the epic they could have been instead.

Renai Flops is an original harem anime, which is pretty rare actually as they’re usually based on manga or light novels. The only other one I can think of is Tenchi Muyou. As such it’s an anime that tells a complete story from start to finish in one season. However, ultimately this anime is trying to do something pretty different from most harem anime, and thus it ends up getting incredibly messy.
The first episode is essentially the prologue that sets things up. The protagonist Asahi is a high school student that’s living alone as harem protagonists often tend to. On his way to school he ends up getting into lucky pervert situations with five girls, all of whom turn out to be bride candidates that begin living with him. This is about as formulaic as you can get for a harem anime. The nex…

This anime is capital S Shit and the S stands for statutory this anime actually could be revolutionary my mindset has always been as long as its interesting and fun even if its bad then its decent but this anime breaks all stereotypes by being the singlehandedly most insane and most boring thing I have ever watched, bland forgettable music, bland forgettable characters, its not funny, its not interesting its like 6 hours of my life ill never get back do not watch this anime its not even so fun its bad its just dull and boring and is going to lower my lifespan by about 30 years the show seems to not take itself that seriously but sometimes it just full sends and pretends its the deepest shit on the planet and its like bruh? you expect me to take this seriously? there is unironically a scene…

The first half is like Spider-man 3, it has absolutely ridiculous scenes while then trying to pull off serious scenes that make you feel for the characters, which in my opinion is what makes it great. To go with this it has lots of actual funny lines that made me actually laugh out loud due to the absurdity of them. It plays all the characters girls very tongue and cheek as they are all the average harem girl stereotype but it's self aware in the fact and uses it to the stories advantages making character arcs around the flaws of the stereotypes.
The twist to set up the second half of the show was actually quite good considering how unexpected it was while not feeling completely random especially with how eery the set up episode was.
The second Half itself was done really well and made…

We live in an era where the genre of 'shounen harem romcom' (yes, I consider it a genre on its own) is going extinct, alongside ecchi, so it was delightful to see a new entry released. To my positive surprise, it carries along most of the major tropes of said genre and if you are a fan of it like myself, you are definitely going to enjoy this anime. I only find it lackluster on 2 fields: a girl with proper tsundere personality and ecchi that is worthy of Rating: R+ - Mild Nudity . There IS a girl with tsundere-like properties, but... to come with an analogy: mandarine looks like orange, but it's still mandarine. I hope it makes sense. As for the ecchi aspect, for the rating the anime has, they are very shy about it. Sure, there are about 3 short scenes that kind of justifies the rating, bu…

Weird, a show that paints itself as mediocre for the twist to be "I was bad on purpose". While I do appreciate the re-contextualization, it ultimately isn't that impactful of a twist. Shame 90% will drop this show before that twist, but it is what this show is, a love.... FLOP. AHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH
Anyway, the show would be ok if it wasn't for the weird bondage, and bestiality "jokes" that smear shit on its own score. There is no build-up or anything, its just I guess the MC is getting raped by a dog, you may now laugh. I would imagine the writer is either getting off to the concept or has no concept of humor and dog rape causes him to piss himself with laughter. Genuinely was about to turn this show off at ep.1 for having the first offense.
just watch the last episode as it is the…

Starting in a futuristic and sci-fi place landscape, with the high school male main character who has just woken up from sleep in a bit of a hurry, suddenly a fortune teller broadcast on TV mentions unexpected things, the main character is on his way to school, and he's meet other characters who will be in the harem, and so on... I'm also a bit disturbed by the harem scene that can be called illegal things, maybe yall saw it too but I don't know if this is different from censorship
When I watched the last episode I was very relieved, even though the storyline was unfortunate, and I think this anime is highly recommended. "As time goes on it becomes more sophisticated, in short, an AI created by humans that is programmed to make human life easier in reality, there is AI in the virtual worl…

A bizarre school harem.
This guy bumps into a bunch of random girls one by one on the way to school which results in some ecchi situations: boobs grab, underwear grab, face sitting, that kinda stuff.
There are 5 girls (including a teacher and a girl pretending to be a boy).
I dont know what they were thinking with the first episode. The main character gets dry r*aped by a dog. Not a good start...
So all these girls start confessing their love to the main character. But i guess he's the most oblivious idiot in the world since most of this just flies over his head.
And because of reasons that i wont spoil, all these girls are going to live with him until he chooses a bride...or he can just choose none.
This is presented as some kind of big moral dilemma for the main character. When it r…

This anime started off as your normal ecchi harem series except it felt rushed and was all over the place. It was almost like they mashed every stereotype of anime wifu together all sloppy like. In fact, I almost dropped it. However, the episode I was about to drop it on everything changed. Suddenly, with out saying too much, things were happening that peaked my interest, and from that point on the show went from sloppy and bad to actually really interesting. While most people would hear that it’s better in the second part and skip the first, there is some important information in the first part so I wouldn’t.
So while the first few episodes might not be that good, I do recommend you watch them through to the end as the ending of this anime is really good. It’s also the first time in awh…

Love Flops is a show that seemed like ecchi harem bait but grew out of it with a quickly advancing plot and change in narrative pace. In the beginning, generic plot, general love interest development, character per episode, up until things change, for the better, or for the worse. Overall, interesting 12am speed watch. If you're looking for MORE THAN JUST romance-ecchi bait to hook you in the beginning of an anime, this anime is not it. However if you just want to zone out and watch something to occupy your time, and maybe don't mind romance-ecchi elements, then give this a try.

Renai Flops (2022)
For once the childhood friend wins... sort of? I guess? a little bit in a very weird way.
The show tries to go from harem to deep love and romance and then back to harem thinking it can pull it off and honestly, it can't. You just can't go from a standard harem which was what this was to something so deep and think you can just reverse it for a finale and act like it's normal. The show is as average as they come, it tries and fails in that regard.
The art of the show is a very close mix of animation moving into CGI. It works nicely but then feels a bit aged already considering the show is so recent. Perhaps this is just the beginning but I am not sure it is quite ready for the lower-budget show.
The soundtrack is completely and absolutely generic, it does absolute…

Renai Flops / Love Flops is an interesting take on the Harem genre and in a way the Isekai genre (Like Sword Art Online did when it debuted).
Some will love it and some will hate it (Like Sword Art Online)
I could go into detail, but that would involve spoilers. So I'll leave you with two clues:
What is a FLOP? (In computing, floating point operations per second (FLOPS, flops or flop/s) is a measure of computer performance, useful in fields of scientific computations that require floating-point calculations. For such cases, it is a more accurate measure than measuring instructions per second.)
What is the Singularity? (In computing, it is the theoretical point in which a human soul can be digitized, stored, and allowed to function as an independent artificial intelligence with the ability…

I'm not mad, just disappointed.
I will give it this, this show certainly knows its marketing. First, it introduces itself as so generic and cliche a harem anime that people will actually end up checking it out if the studio is really going to invest an original anime on this. Then halfway through it brings in the plot twist so that a new set of viewers will be released into the wild, grabbing passing people, shaking them and screaming, "Guys don't give up, this changes everything!"
But what matters in the end is the entire product. Does this show feel complete in its story and characters, and does it succeed in the themes it wants to tackle? I think my score and recommendation should speak for themselves.
The first and probably biggest issue with Renai Flops is that unless you are truly…

Renai Flops is, as I'm sure you'll notice in just the first episode, a very standard rom com; except something is off. The first 5 or so episodes are a lot of set up and character building and it's well done. Eventually plot things start happening which and it's not egregious, but don't expect to be blown away either. At this point I was thinking I would be rating the show an 8 or possibly a 9 out of 10. The romance was solid and I was genuinely laughing at the jokes. They nailed both parts of the Rom and Com!
Unfortunately, Renai Flops hits a... rocky patch, I'll call it, towards its conclusion. It felt like they were trying to make me care about what was going on. Funnily enough, I DID care about the plot and characters up until that point where I think their efforts had the opposite ef…

I will avoid talking about any Major Spoilers in this review!
Love Flops aka Renai Flops was what appeared to be a typical harem/romcom anime and it seemed like it would head in that direction after watching the first half of the season. But after the first initial twist occurred featuring some sci-fi elements, this anime started to really capture my attention and after that episode ended with that twist. This anime made me wanting more, to find out what would happen next. The characters felt unique with each main girl having their own distinct personality, it also helped that each of them got their own dedicated episode with Mongfa's being a personal favourite and Karin's one being well... a bit out of the blue to say the least, like I would have never guessed what would of happened in t…

This god damn anime, breaking my heart apart into a thousand pieces only to glue it back together afterwards. This was truly a wild ride of an anime if I ever had one. I fairly enjoyed the first half of the anime to some degree, thinking it was just another of those trash over the top harem comedy anime, but boy was I wrong. The second half, or especially the last 4 episodes made such a ridiculous turn that it entirely threw me off. I would have never predicted those twists in a million years, this was probably my biggest surprise this year.
After watching the whole anime it makes the first half so much better, since it explains why the ridiculous things that happened in the beginning even took place. I would almost go as far as to call it a stroke of genius, since it took up the common…

Renai Flops flopped. To be totally fair to the anime, I think that after the twist happened, the anime improved a little bit, but it felt like such a drag to get to that point. The first 7 or 8 episodes were genuinely hard to watch as it was just a generic harem with no substance, and of course, you do learn eventually why all the girls were attracted to him in the first place, but even after their stories conclude they all seemed so one dimensional. While it's not all bad, as I do think the ending was pretty decent, and the stuff with Ai does actually hit, but overall, this anime was not that good.
Art: 5
The art in this anime isn’t the best, but it’s not terrible. I do like the character designs a lot, as every character introduced had their own certain charm to them, but other than th…

Renai flops came out of nowhere and became one of my fave shows of Fall 2022. While the first half follows the usual path of a generic fan-service harem rom com, it becomes something more substantive in the second half and truly won me over.
If you’re someone with a short fuse and low tolerance for non-sense, I can tell you right now Renai Flops won’t be for you. Its first episodes are intentionally trope-y and very generic. But if you’re too quick to drop the show, you’ll miss out on seeing how the show actually deconstructs some of these generic tropes. While the first few episodes largely feature your usual harem shenanigans, the second half contains a pretty major plot twist that turns the world upside down and changes how you look at the reality these characters are living in. Many o…

Ahhh another rom-com type show for me to watch and review… How bad could this show be? Renai Flops sure made my heart flop. Not in a good way… for at least the first 6 episodes. We’ll get to that way later…
Before we begin, let me backtrack to the beginning… the very very eye stretching beginning… Renai Flops (at least the first half) is what you get when you put together all the possible rom-com tropes into one show and press copy and paste 1000 times. True Insanity… For example the guy (let’s call him Steve) “falls” down a set of stairs only to “accidentally” pounce on an unexpecting girl walking by. Sound familiar? If you do know what I mean, you know what happens next in the story… Oh and of course there is “accidental” groping in this rom-com and I don’t know where to begin with the…
