I know this show, understandably, has some mixed feelings and opinions in the community but I actually have been having a great time finishing my day watching this anime.
As much as some scenes may feel kinda cliché, odd or just weird (at the very root meaning of this word), this series have caught my attention by its simplicity and cozy aura. Watching Kazuya failing miserably in every aspect of social interaction has become part of my routine to go to sleep, and this 3rd season was, at some sense, better than the other two, not much to be honest, but definitely better.

Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 3 – The Art of Suffering
At this point, I refuse to believe Rent-a-Girlfriend was written by a real person. Season 3 is less of a romance anime and more of an elaborate psychological experiment to test just how much audience abuse one show can dish out before people snap.
The Pacing – Slower Than Evolution
Nothing happened in Season 1.
Nothing happened in Season 2.
And yet somehow, Season 3 said, “Let’s slow it down even more.”
This season crawls at a snail’s pace despite already having no plot to begin with. Every episode is padded with inner monologues, recycled facial expressions, and “Will they? Won’t they?” moments that even the characters seem tired of.

Kazuya continues his reign as one of the most miserable…

Honestly don't understand why people say this is a bad anime, sure, the premise is utterly and completely wrong from a moral standpoint and Kazuya's entire situation right now would make anyone think he's scum, but if the viewer can look past it and accept the show with all of its moral flaws( One could argue just really inconvenient circumstances ), they are bound to enjoy it.
The thing I enjoyed most is that they're taking their time, it's slow but more realistic ( if you can even say that ). Fast paced rom-coms are often rushed and give zero time for any character development so it feels forced. Here it's handled very well, doesn't feel rushed at all and it is very clear what caused someone to get closer to another person.
I'd say all of rent-a-girlfriend as of now deserves a 7 on the…

I hope season 4 is just Kazuya getting punched in the face by every single character every episode
A rental girlfriend who's become your friend (and who you love) has just lost the only loving family member she had. What do you do? Do you try to keep her company and make sure she is ok? Do you reach out to her and not let her be alone in this depressing moment?
Well, if you're Kazuya, you hire her... friend!?!?!? To spend the entire day alone with her in the beach (?!) enjoying yourself and contemplating what you should be doing right now for your aching, mourning friend? And then instead of just knocking on your friend's door or even just sending a simple godamn text message you... rent her?!?!?!?
And then when she finally reveals her true feelings and cries like a sobbing little girl on…

Review Title : Entertaining but Trapped in a Repetitive Cycle
Kanojo, Okarishimasu has now reached its third season, and while it continues to entertain, it's hard to shake the feeling that this series has become stuck in a repetitive loop. The plot, like many long-running shows, feels more like a never-ending soap opera, with each episode following similar story arcs and character interactions that rarely evolve. The constant cycle of misunderstandings, love triangles, and overly dramatic moments is engaging at first but begins to feel like it’s dragging on indefinitely.
While the characters remain charming, with their distinct personalities and motivations, it's clear that the story heavily relies on their appeal rather than progressing the plot in any meaningful way. The stakes never…

I was trying to stay strong as Mizuhara but at the end, it kinda kicks me in the feelings.
The Design and Details are pushed in a good way, it looks more colorful and cute, perfect matching for this kind of anime style.
Season 1 and 2 were not bad and they had interesting character development but on S3 we finally see most of them more mature and grown up. If there is important takeaway from this season its:
No matter how strong you are its always good to share your feelings with someone, instead of letting them consume you.

Personally I am very disappointed in the direction it was heading. I personally think Ruka is the best girl and Kazuya should have stayed with her but he cant even be fucking loyal like renting out Chizuru when you have a girl should not fly. Why is he not just going for the girl that clearly loves him its stupid and I hate it. RUKA IS THE BEST GIRL. Therefore I do not think others will enjoy the show the only reason I kept watching was because of Ruka. I really wish Ruka won but even though the anime is not finished I can clearly see that she is not going to win because of the MC dumb infatuation with his rental girlfriend neighbor. She also has the short blue hair anime girl curse which is really unfortunate. None of the characters were even good, apart from Ruka of course. I also am ast…

Now, if you're still reading reviews about this show and presumably thinking about watching you endured the last 2 seasons and went through the trenches. I don't think I can say anything more about the MC Kazuya who is arguably one of the worst characters in rom com history, that has not been mentioned by the other reviews. I would be lying if I said my expectations were high for this season when I started watching. I expected many things, but not what actually happened. This season was a real surprise. Instead of the usual cringe, it delivered powerful scenes that hit you right in the heart, making you feel deep sadness and other strong emotions.
It is a very welcomed change and it feels like the anime is finally going into the right direction. It finally feels like this season has chara…

The main character is really annoying and just makes you cringe any time he does anything. This anime tries to take itself seriously but I just cant take it seriously, its so boring and stupid, each season gets worse.
Is the story unique? If it was predictable, did you enjoy it anyway because you like this genre/set-up? The main story seems quite interesting to me, the execution is just done in a really boring way.
Do you think the art style is fitting for the story? The artyle is good, basic but good.
Were the characters well-rounded? Did they have flaws and strengths, or were they unusually strong/smart/stupid? Most of the characters are just really annoying and they dont have any character development at all.
Did the characters react to situations and events in a realistic way? No, the…

i jumped into this show at season 3 and got the gist immediately: it's about the humiliating and demoralizing cycle of relationships and the failure to communicate between men and women. the lead character allows his obsessive, unrequited crush to degenerate him into true sociopathy, exploiting a rental girlfriend's family trauma so he can force himself into her most private, vulnerable moments. his sexual pathology - which drives this concurrent deification and objectification of his crush - is sketched out through racing, overanalytic thoughts ruminating over her every move, her every word. this brilliantly exposes the tragic and dangerous trajectory of unchecked, obsessive psuedo-love.
as a show, the experience can be mixed. sometimes it gets boring and you forget the main guy can be a…

Kanojo, Okarishimasu 3rd Season was a really great continuation from the previous two seasons, there were so many touching moments and generally the plot felt a lot more focused. I really did get emotional a lot throughout this season, without going into spoilers there were some really tragic topics covered and the serious scenes were tackled really well with lots of genuine moments from the characters. I do really love the main cast, it's been cool to see the progression of their development and relationships as the show has gone on and it's always great to learn more about them which we did a lot this season.
Overall this was really enjoyable and I had few complaints really, definitely watch if you're caught up!

The best girl is Sumi.
Ruka is way better than Chizuru.
Chizuru is CRAP AF.
Yaemori, Mini is a little sly fox.
Is the story unique? If it was predictable, did you enjoy it anyway because you like this genre/set-up?
The story is meh.
Do you think the art style is fitting for the story?
The art style was really good. Were the characters well-rounded? Did they have flaws and strengths, or were they unusually strong/smart/stupid?
Characters were average.
Did the characters react to situations and events in a realistic way?
The reactions and the BG design were really good.
Do you think others will enjoy/dislike this series, even if you didn't? Why?
The only good thing I can say about this series is that Mami was not in S3.
Good Riddance.
Apart from that I hated the ending hence 1./10

This season is where the actual development of character starts happening. Ngl when I first started watching this show, I didn't think it would be this good. First few episodes felt cringe as it would've to any normal person. First 2 seasons had cringe moments yes, but I think we understand that somewhere during our own teenage life, even college life, we have all done cringe things, so I totally didn't mind.
Season 3 is where the character development really started, and so did the story development. This season actually starts building on Mizuhara and Kazuya's relationship with a very good plot imo. The cringe moments are almost gone. I was taken back by how good the story and both main characters were developed this season that I read the whole manga till the latest chapter released a…

Do you enjoy simping for a girl that doesnt ever texr you back? Do you love purchasing 'content' of girls that love to milk you for your money? If so, then this show was meant for you
What did the producers think when making this show? "How do I use deep quotes for 14 year old kids to make this show sound deep and thoughtful "- is what the producers of this anime thought they were doing. How do I use my grandpa's dying breath to encourage me to persue a fruitless acting career. How do I employ some some extremely smart and attractive Mizuhara that cant even take a basic hint that, Kazuya, much like the typical real life simp, loves her but is too scared to ask her out.
I am not kidding by the way. I can't be bothered but a quick google search of this anime can find you some 'thought prop…

It must be funny to see a positive review for Kanojo Okarishimasu because of how hated this series are. But for real though, I somehow enjoyed it, at least this season. Kazuya is known for being a loser, over-dramatic, and overall trash main character. But in this season, I can see something respectable from Kazuya. The way he struggled to help Chizuru make her dreams come true and cheer her up during her down times, that's a very good thing to do as a main character. I don't think a main character should be a giga-chad that loved by many. Sometimes it's good to see a character that has a bad side but also has a good side in them. Kazuya is of course not the best main character, but at least he still has good side in him.
As for the plot, I've seen people complaining about how long does i…

This show is starting to make me mad. You can't stretch out a romance Anime and have it be good. If there is a fourth season to this I dont know if I'll be able to watch it. Season 3 had barley and romantic development between the MC's and I'm thinking that season 4 won't be any different. Rance animes are not ones that you can stretch on for seasons and seasons without the MC's being together. Usually I wouldn't bash too hard on an anime if I watched the whole thing but this is starting to get repetitive. MC tries to get closer, once he does he pusses out and pushes himself away. It's been like this the whole time in the 36 episodes that have been released. It's so frustrating that they had such a good idea but they are dragging it on this long. This is why this show gets a lot of hate, t…

I’ll preface this review by saying that I am a huge fan of Rent-A-Girlfriend. I have rewatched the first season three times. I have spent days worth of time listening to OPs, EDs and the OST of this show. The show resonated with me so profoundly that it is no exaggeration to say that it changed my life, in ways I cannot even begin to describe. Even for me, however, Rent-A-Girlfriend season three was not enjoyable.
This season centers more around Kazuya and Chizuru’s dynamic as director and actor instead of client and rental girlfriend. In this arc, Kazuya actually acts quite courageously for a change, especially as he helps Chizuru fulfill her dream of her grandma getting to watch her on the big screen. Season three takes itself somewhat more seriously as the two main characters work toge…

I can’t believe what I’m about to say, but Kanokari season 3 is really good. Seriously, this season is actually an improvement in almost every single objective evaluation of the story. The writing is much more mature, Kazuya gets a LOT of development and acts like a normal human being for once, and there’s several genuinely emotional moments that made me cry. Is it worth sitting through 20+ episodes or two seasons to get to? Probably not, but I am glad I watched it. This is the best the series has ever been.
What really makes the season stand out compared to the first two is that it focuses on Chizuru and Kazuya primarily. Instead of the aimless, cringe style of storytelling that the first two seasons had, this is much more precise. Kazuya wants to help Chizuru advance her acting career a…

Throughout the many years of AniManga, no one series has been more polarising and meme-worthy as the infamous mangaka Reiji Miyajima's Kanojo, Okarishimasu a.k.a Rent-a-Girlfriend, now 3 seasons in, airing to fire up our fuels for the near impossible when it comes to romance and cucking every time it airs in the Summer season. And Season 3, now 3 years into the anime adaptation, is it still as polarising, yet as good as it was when it first aired in Summer 2020? You know what? It's a definite yes.
It's easy to see why manga readers have been hyping up, especially for Season 3 here. Dubbed The Rental Girlfriend's Dream Arc, it presents our ever-so-loving male cucking aficionado of Kazuya Kinoshita continuing to hedge his bets on the rental girlfriend who has seen each and every one of his…

I shed a tear to Rent-a-Girlfriend??? What has the world come to? Is this reality?
Rent-a-Girlfriend is at the butt end of a lot of jokes in the anime community, and hated by many, understandably so. You might ask, then why are so many of these losers watching this absolute joke of a show? There’s a simple answer. We eat unhealthy foods all the time, we have fast food, instant noodles, sugary junk, that we all know is bad for us, but we still eat it anyway. If anything, RAG does a nice job in keeping the fools coming back for more, by sprinkling in some of that MSG. Say that Chizuru is asked if she likes Kazuya, and you know she can’t say yes, because that wouldn’t drive the story along, so she says she doesn’t like him, but doesn’t dislike him. That last line is so frustrating, but it’s…
