I watched this as a dare a while back and I think that was one of the worst decisions I have made in my life in recent years.
No character is likeable. I couldn't even tolerate the lesbian option because she was so male-centered and fujoshi-brained that it made her just as bad as the main character Kae.
I don't even know who this series is for. Is it for fujoshis to project themselves onto Kae? Is it for people to take the piss out of creeps like that? Who knows because it honestly feels like it's pandering to those two audiences at the exact same time.
Don't waste your time with this unless you're with a friend, pissed up or both

Plot
Our female lead (FL) is a fat otaku fujoshi, who keeps shipping her male classmates in her imagination. Due to a mental shock, she somehow becomes thin and unrecognizably beautiful. Now, 4 pretty boys, trying to gain her romantic interest, keep hanging out with her as friends to get close to her and stop others from getting close to her. But they all keep failing as our otaku FL is too immersed in her own yaoi/BL otaku world.

Positives
1. Cute art. Especially the reaction panels have good potential for memes.
2. It is a pretty chill and predictable comedy show with some romance/drama sprinkled in. You will know whether you like it or not by the end of the episode, as it is the same gag that gets repeated throughout the show.
3. Reverse harems are a rare genre (especially outsi…

The best way you I can put it, is like Ouan High School Host Club. While it's certainly more problematic in the year of 2020+, it's still a very much guilty pleasure watch. It's fun and gives you the ability to root for someone in hopes of them getting together with Kai.
Though, like most, I do not like how the main character loses weight from severe depression in the very beginning. I feel like they very much glosses over that part and how everyone seemed to like her so quickly. We also don't get to have a lot of time with more side characters, like Amane, who is meant to be her best friend, and yet beside fan girl moments and at the very end - barely see her. It also feels like the anime barely even focuses on the other's at all at times, and we know nothing about their personal lives…

Kiss Him, Not Me - An interesting and good time…if you’re the right audience.
Story: 7
Remember how I said it’s good if you’re the “right audience?” Yeah, this is really where it matters. Essentially, this overweight/obese otaku gets so sad when her favorite character dies that she ends up not eating for a week, causing her to magically lose weight and become pretty. Once she becomes super pretty, hot boys + girl go after her, but she only gets happy when the boys pursuing her have some kind of fanservice moment (or when the other girl joins in on their little fantasy or whatever). If you’re not a big anime fan, this probably sounds mundane. If you are a big anime fan, you’ll probably feel kind of called out (in the amusing way). There’s anime references that you wouldn’t get if you’re no…

This anime's overall message to its young female audience and its fetishization of mlm relationships was concerning and annoying.
CHARACTERS: 2/10
Every single romance option (aside from Asuma Mutsumi) was EXTREMELY shallow. They only wanted Serinuma because of her weight loss. Not a single one of them truly cared about her feelings, her hobbies, or her overall personality as long as she stayed thin in all the right places. There are so many moments in the show where each of the love interests do things to court Serinuma at her own expense. None of them were all that likable. (aside from Asuma Mutsumi) Serinuma herself was a flawed characters. I get this is to poke fun at the fujoshi community but she was still disturbing. Definitely not saying women have 0 right to enjoy mlm media as I…

I watched this years ago and I just can't forget how bad it was. If I could rate it 0, I would. I don't understand how there are people that enjoy this anime.
Right off the bat, the whole story is that the main girl is fat (therefore, unattractive), then starves herself because her favourite character died and suddenly becomes skinny (therefore, attractive), and all the boys in school are into her. So if only the young girls watching this just Starve themselves, they'll Finally completely change their appearance and be Attractive (which, of course, you can't be if you're fat).
And as if this isn't ridiculous enough, this isn't the main plot. It's only the begginning. As the title "Kiss him, not me" suggests, the main girl is a fujoshi that fetishizes gay people in real-life, and ships he…

reverse-harem "Insatiable" with an assorted cast of: fiery bimbo, bland dudebro, chad self-insert, raging fujioshi genderfuck lesbian, and a goofy useless twink.
so many harems and isekais have cringy self-insert protags and this isn't an exception but at least it's self-aware enough to make fun of it. it's just mindless dumb fun for the girlies and the boys actually serve really funny BL fanservice while having some cute genuine moments between them.
most of its humor is akin to Earth Defense Club's, so if you enjoy that kind of extreme parody self-aware riddled with shameless fanservice vibe, you'll love this one.
pay no mind to the annoying in*els that are too hard on this anime because the protagonist is cringe and then turn around and call Accel World an underrated masterpiece or…

Save yourself some time and don't watch this.
I've never seen a more delusional fantasy written by someone who probably lives on a basement and is a social outcast who has never interacted with men or women that are not fujoshis, not to mention consent is probably something this person doesn't know about either given they seem obsessed with yaoi and yuri to an extent i guess.
The only pasable characters in this whole anime are Senpai and maybe Igurashi.
Expect a lot of fetichizing gays and dub/non con/sexual harrasment.
The character development (when there is any) is terrible, i don't think i really got to like most of the characters in here. The caracters are just really bland and their backstories are equally lame. Voice acting was pretty mid, some were irritating at points (cough M…

Watched this anime awhile ago, and can safely say it was not something I’d immediately recommend. If you’re looking for a highschool romance, then sure go ahead. In terms of the anime, a pretty straightforward storyline to follow.
The same characters in a majority of the episodes of the whole season- most with stereotypical personalities you’d typically see in a highschool anime. ‘Member of the football club’ ‘the bad boy’ etc etc.
I feel like this is incredibly mediocre, it was released awhile ago based off the 2013 manga. The art style is average alongside the mutual relationships and ‘realism’ within the show but there are a few funny moments.
If you’re seeking to pass time with a short anime then this could suffice, but I wouldn’t ‘hype’ this up to be one of the best animes of al…

Kiss him not me is a revolting anime to say the least. I want you all to know how fatphobic this anime is and how it promotes the fetishisation of gay men and eating disorders.
Kiss him not me starts of with a fat (and therefore ugly because according to this anime you can’t be fat and pretty 🙄)high school with basically no facial features in tears because her favourite character in an anime dies. She become so emotional that she become unable to take after herself and basically starved herself for a week. Getting up after this week she finds herself to be skinny and with actual facial features!!!
She goes to school and nobody recognises her because she lost weight and is now somehow completely unrecognisable. She finds out that many people have fallen for her now that’s she’s skinny (…

This is a queer baiting anime. NOT ONLY that but the main girl fetishizes gay men the entire time, its about a girl who is unattractive and then becomes attractive and all of a sudden all the guys like her but she cant stop fantasizing about the guys together. I think this is just wrong, Plus its basically saying if you're a "fat" women you wont have any men that like you or even notice you, as in the anime. I think this anime is SHIT and deserves 1 rating, 10 out of 10 would not recommended. and i will not listen to people who says its supposed to be funny or humorous because IT IS NOT. its just the same plot every episode and boring.

I personally don't have a problem with the weight loss but I really hate the love interests (apart from Mutsumi and Nishida) for only liking her when she was skinny. I really hate the fact that Kae had a whole thing about BL and made everything in her life about it like it was just fetishization which was weird asf. The characters' dialogue was alright and mostly comedic and all the characters did have their own sense of personality, non that was really remarkable. The plot is like every other slice of life but with a mc who actually has a personality.

I can not express how much I hate this anime. The anime feels even worse than the typical anime harem. The anime is full of fan service that fetishes bl and mlm, with the main character being obsessed with it. I also hated how the main character went from being overweight at one period and the next week being loved by all the boys. The characters' development never went anywhere, which left out key parts that would've made the show easier to understand. Though there are 12 episodes, every one of them feels the same. The show has no redeemable quality, which I personally would not recommend.

Work has been tiring lately, so that means it's time for an easy rom-com binge! Let's get right into the anime basics.
Story; Our main girl, Kae Serinuma, starts out as your typical fat otaku who is a HUGE fujioshi (ahhh ya, just my style). Then on the night of her favourite anime airing, her favourite character dies and traps herself in her room for a week. After starving herself for a week out of the despair of her beloved 2-D character, she comes out of her room no longer recognizing herself. Skinny, big eyes, healthy hair and don't forget tiny waist and ginormous boobs. Hoping everyone would still treat her the same once she goes back to school was A FAT CHANCE. All the guys who called her fat, gross, otaku were now head-over-heels for her (except the wonderful, kinda hearted and char…

I hate this series so much, I cannot believe that the rating is so high. This story is just gross and fetishize-y, I feel gross just thinking about the main character behaves. Her entire personality is fetishizing MLM relationships, shipping her classmates, and being the definition of a fujoshi.
Even if I look past that, the characters are just boring, and the only decent character is that one dude who isn't a total asshole and liked the MC before she was 'prettier'. The story is just your typical harem anime with gross behaviour from all characters.
The one scene that really pisses me off is when the MC gains her weight back, and her motivation for exercising is seeing two guys hold hands and interact. It doesn't feel right, it's so off-putting watching a girl be so obsessed over the…

Perhaps I have not seen enough reverse harem type of anime to understand all of its tropes but I'll give it a go anyway.
Watashi ga Motete Dousunda starts with a rather bland narrative, an unattractive girl suddenly loses weight and gets all the attention from her potential candidates. However, I do like to point out that the narrative does increase in flavour when there are decent characters in the series. I understand the appeal for character development but for a series like this let's be real here you're not expecting a 180 so if you're banking on that it is already a terrible decision. Though I have to say the characters are drawn rather nicely, this is perhaps the highlight of the series if the characters were unattractive I seriously doubt this would gain any traction.

Watching Kiss Him Not Me was a little weird for me. Overall a 5.5/10 for me, this review contains no spoilers :)
The main character Serinuma, was a chubbier girl, and a HUGE otaku, and an obesssive fan of BL. When her favorite character Shion died from her favorite anime she was in a depressed state for a week, and woke up and lost a lot of weight. Then suddenly, she has a harem around her. These guys had no interest in her before she lost weight, and now that she's lost weight she's attractive??
Asuma, a guy in her history club, a sweetie pie. He liked her with her weight, and without it. I haven't read the manga, but I hope the Asuma and Serinuma get together!!
Nana, a popular douche, who fell over her in gym class, and didn't feel the need to apologize, and called her a "Human Cus…

This show is the embodiment of cliche shounen romance harem anime, the characters and story were decent enough to make me go through all the 12 episodes, but story-wise it sucked. The only thing that I liked about this anime was its comedy which made me laugh and that's the only thing that is good about this anime, the comedy and anything else were way too mediocre and cliche that it made the comedy scenes look like god tier comedy moments. But still, I liked this anime really made me laugh and I had fun watching it. And think that's what the makers were trying to do with this plot, Just making the audience have a good time watching this anime.
