This anime had such a great concept from the beginning, but I feel like it ended so abruptly. I would've liked it more if they all got into a relationship, rather than just 'fluff'. But I'd say this anime is good for filler if you have nothing much to do in the day.
In my opinion, it's cute, but not noteworthy, and pretty predictable, with basic wholesome filler plots too.
Hagi was quite annoying in my opinion. Every scene is basically just him freaking out and having a crisis over his crush. It's fine for the first couple of episodes, but it did get grating to watch the further the anime progresses.
I did enjoy Asagi and Fuji's relationship the most, because I feel like the relationship dynamic was captured well - and slightly unique scenario with Fuji being a manga artist and using As…

I discovered this anime by accident when i was scrolling through a random anime website and I absolutely loved it the second I started it, the story was interesting and the characters are great aswell and the outro music is awesome and i listened to it for a long time after watching this anime. The ending is horrible though, I hate when they dont end everything and just leave the chance for a second season that will never come. I just came back to finishing this one because i originally started watching it around 1-2 months ago and even though its been a while and I have watched countless and I mean countless animes I could still remember the plot and the characters, what im trying to say by this that it became an anime that i will not forget for a long time .

This was honestly dissapointing at the end.
The premise starts off very interesting: there are all the typical situations you see on college romance but the female leads are crossdressing basically all the time and challenging the standard male x female dynamics, giving the show many funny situations built mainly on misundertandings and breach of expectation. In other words, the guys are constantly acting and being treated like they are the female leads, which it's already funny on its own. Some of the scenes would look like they came straight out of a BL without any prior context.
The problem is the series exploits these situations without giving the relatioships any actual progress. The iniciative is taken by girls 90% of the time, either because the male counterpart is not returning…

Visually fine and could have been a 7, but it's one of those animes that has zero progress intentionally to draw out the series. 12 episodes of beating a dead horse gets really old.
Characters would be fine (even if not at all unique) since they follow their generic tropes just fine, but they are so infuriating and annoying with their ignorance it just comes off as unrelatable
It's almost like each episode is a standalone story. So even if there is romantic moments and progress that would naturally result in characters growing a backbone and either confessing or at least realizing the other character's feelings, this story gets reset to the starting point every. single. time.
0-40 in one episodes, and next episode the character starts at 0 again acting like they haven't gotten closer t…

It's ok. I watched the English dub (I often watch english dubbed anime while I work) so it may have been different in the original VA work but I found Hagi to be so grating I put down the anime for extended period of time. It was genuinely difficult to finish the last two episodes due to his grating voice and one note, "Oh no, am I bi? Am I gay? Am I cheating?" character trait. Otherwise it's a very pleasant watch and occasionally funny, I love the other two romantic plots with Suou/Tokiwa and Fuji/Asagi. They don't really flounder much with the idea of dating crossdressing women which I appreciate.

So I recently finished this anime and I have to say it started out strong! I watched it week to week and then eventually it fell off because the story just didnt really go anywhere. Now is it a week to week watch? No. But I could see this anime being a fun binge watch if you are looking for something with extremely low stakes with not much character progression. Now I will admit the romance elements between the 3 main male and female characters is cute but it doesn't really progress much in the anime other than light teasing. Its simple and that's good enough for me! It had a very interesting premise about gender roles that was also very unique. It wasn't forceful nor cliche which I have to give it props for. I would have loved to see them speed run some of these episodes as it was extreme…

This was overall a fun show. It was a newer concept and it deals with tomboys (more or less) so what's there to hate.
Story: The concept and plot are nothing groundbreaking but it's something new to the usual romcom norm so there's that to get your interest. It does a good job spreading the time between the 3 couples and doesn't really favor one more than the other even though you get mc/fmc vibes from two of them. One couple you'll wish they had more time and another less which you'll find out by watching. I will say it felt like it was dragging on doing the same thing close to the end but they actually do have more progress so have patience.
Sound: Nothing stands out but it fits the bill so no complaints
Art: It's good and the mc's/fmc's are drawn well but it is more on the low-budget…

This show caught my interest from some scenes I saw on Twitter, especially for its comedic side.
The first episodes are really cool—the character introductions and plot are really well done. The boys attend a mixer, while the girls are dressed as boys because they work in a host club. Everything revolves around this, with plenty of jokes about it, and they’re honestly really funny (the "Prince at school" that fangirls try to identify, the super cute relationship between Asagi and Fuji, and how innocent he is). The plot is very "fluffy" and cute.
The problem for me is one particular character: Hagi. His confusion about his feelings could have been interesting if it didn’t drag on for so long. His entire arc is about wondering whether he’s bi/gay because he likes a girl who dresses as a bo…

The initial premise of this anime promised a lot, and the promises were kept.
There are 3 delightfully different pairings, so there is something for everyone, with vastly different pacing.
The mystery about the true identity of the female main characters was cleared pretty quickly, but that wasn't all that bad.
Sure, some moments or characters from this show can be annoying at times, but rhat doesn't make them less endearing.
The show makes great use of miscommunication and misunderstandings for comedic purposes and clears them up pretty quickly, which avoids the oh so typical frustration from many RomComs.
The ending of this season left things pretty open, and offers a great starting point for a season 2, and I really hope that there will be a second season

While most of the anime was enjoyable, the story unique, and more or less fun to watch, one of the protagonists is absolutely frustrating. His indecisiveness and how he deals with his problems are downright childish.
While the other 2 male protagonists seem to grow, however painfully slow, into their relationships, Hagi behaves like a child on the playground, not facing his emotions and playing this roundabout game in his head. It was extremely frustrating to watch and even less to understand his decisions and/or character motivations.
I hate how he was written and it takes away from the entire feelgood element of the anime. This was going to be an 8/10 until the last episode made me have an extreme distaste for Hagi's limp-wristed character.

At first I believed that the 3 male protagonists would be fake protagonists to start the story, which I was really wrong about. I'm not used to watching anime with a crossdressing theme and I don't have a good experience with the last one I saw, but I decided to give this one a chance and it was worth giving it a chance. In the trio of protagonists, we have the leader, the virgin and the mule, and in the other trio, we have the leader, the lazy one and the disconnected one. The energy between the couples works well and there are several funny and clueless moments, but the Hagi/Kohaku couple is too convoluted, which makes the rhythm of the anime break at times and ends up making you want to go into the anime and punch Hagi in the face. The animation is satisfactory and they use a lot of car…

The female cast are a fun bunch who carry the show with their crossdressing characters however outside of Fuji, their actual selves that are hinted or slightly shown lack exploration or showcase and resort to just being the crossdressed character.
Regarding the male cast, only Asagi is entertaining with his golden retriever personality. Tokiwa is your basic meh romcom protagonist with a basic personality. Hagi on the other hand had potential to be a voice for the feelings & struggle one could have in his romantic situation and while that occurs it's played off for laughs and is overshadowed and washed away by the use of the overreaction screaming gag that makes his scenes an annoyance more than anything else to the detriment of Kohaku his love interest.
There are wholesome & solid moments…

I gave this show a 10, and I know that’s probably grossly overrated, because it’s not without its issues – pacing and payoff being the primary ones, but this show hits so close to my strike zone that I’m unabashedly giving it a perfect score. I’m sure there’s going to be haters out there, but this show is fantastic and I deeply hope they make another season so we get all the payoff that wasn’t granted in season 1, only teased. I don’t really think I need to explain what’s charming about this show, it’s pretty painfully obvious from watching an episode or two, and if you don’t get it from that, you’re probably never going to get it.

The development of the relationship between three couples, with the difference that the female characters work in a drag bar. The beginning of the anime is promising, but a change occurs during the story. It becomes less attractive, since there is no concrete conclusion, as if there were going to be a new season. The couples are well introduced and their intimacy occurs at different speeds. One is faster, very light and natural (I really liked it), Fuji and Asagi; in the second, the girl has more initiative and the boy is slower, but both accept each other's flirting well; Suo and Tokiwa; and the third is a bit slow, almost stopping; the boy is boring and full of doubts that make it uncomfortable to watch; and the girl is a bit slow, but not like him, who goes into existential crises and u…

A romance that plays with perspectives.
Goukon ni ittara was one of those animes that I didn't expect anything from but it ended up being one of my comfort anime of the season. The premise is more than interesting, the idea of playing with protagonists who do crossdressing is very fun to watch. It's interesting how they play with the perspective of third parties within the anime. The viewer has all the information and context that the three couples formed are between men and women, but for the world within the anime they are seeing three couples made up of only men. This lends itself to misinterpretations, confusions or situations that end up being funny because of how the world reacts to a couple of boys.
The anime handles three couples and initially this was a concern because I thoug…

I liked the idea of this show, at least what I thought the idea was: a romance where the girls are tomboys. Tomboys rule and aren't usually very well represented, so I thought it could be fun.
Instead what I got was a bunch of tropes and repeated jokes for 12 episodes straight, but now they're "crossdressing themed".
This show accentuates by a lot the problems I have with anime not accepting gay people in our society as something normal. There are ENTIRE EPISODES dedicated to Hagi (this show's most annoying character) just worried if he's gay because he's attracted to a women who cross dresses. He's such a good example of how anime thinks how funny a dude being gay is.
Besides all that this is just one more painfully generic show that does not even try to explore characters besides see…

A comedy anime about gender dynamics that goes nowhere. This anime started out interesting, a fairly new concept introduced to the new romcom anime genre. All characters are quirky, other than the boring male lead. While each episode is dedicated to exploring the relationships growing between the three female characters and male characters, their relationships do not go further and hit a ceiling. Of three relationships, the one between Kohaku and Hagi is the most insufferable, Hagi is a terribly pathetic written character and his awkwardness is neither funny nor enticing, it’s for the most part, aggravating. I dislike it anytime he’s on screen. Asagis golden retriever energy is very funny and his relationship with Fuji is both hilarious and wholesome. Suo is also a very enticing female lea…

2024 has given us quite a few anime that I would consider to be fun, brain-rot. How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer might not be as brain-rot as other shows like My Deer Friend Nokotan or ‘Tis Time for “Torture,” Princess, it's overall atmosphere is still goofy enough for me to consider it as such. While this anime doesn't do anything special or unique in terms of rom-coms, I still had a lot of fun watching this, which is important since we've gotten quite a few romance anime this year that absolutely bore me, and that's saying something since romance is one of my favorite genres in anime.
What makes How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer fun to watch has to be all the goofy interactions and dynamics between all the characters. The six main characters - who are split between the male characters…

This might be the biggest surprise of an anime for a very long time. How I attended an All-Guy's Mixer is not the kind of anime you'd probably think it turns out to be. An extremely wholesome and surprise surprise, absolute zero drama in it. A very enjoyable and also funny anime to watch for you all who enjoy cute but also funny facial expressions and just slow college kind of life, with a little bit of alcohol mixed in.
I went in blindly, thinking maybe like you, that this would be the typical rom-com with a stupid love-drama kind of like situations we've gotten to know for the last decade when it comes to rom-coms. Those cringe series can go straight to the trash can 'cause this one has arised and has zero drama in it, and I absolutely loved this. The facial expressions, which happens v…
