In the near future when technology has significantly advanced, a famous AI TV fortune teller seemingly foresees high school student Asahi Kashiwagi's day with pinpoint accuracy. On his way to school, he encounters Aoi Izumisawa, Bai Mongfa, Karin Istel, Amelia Irving, and Ilya Ilyukhin. Despite meeting them for the first time, Asahi suddenly receives love confessions from all of them at the end of the same day, perfectly aligning with the fortune teller's prediction.
As if that was not enough, Asahi soon learns that these five individuals are actually candidates to become his bride, and they have been invited by his father to live at Asahi's home. Left with no other choice, he reluctantly allows them to stay, resulting in a bawdy turn of events that brightens up his average high school life.
However, as Asahi spends more time with them, forgotten memories gradually resurface. While uncovering the hidden truth, Asahi begins to believe that his fate with these potential partners might be more than just mere coincidence.

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 fewepisodes 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 of those generic tropes from earlier episodes will take on a totally different meaning if you’re able to stick it out. The closest thing I would compare it to is Muv luv, of which it clearly takes some inspiration and in a way parodies.
While I am a sucker for ecchi fan service moments and harems, I actually enjoyed the second half of the show more. I thought the fan service was a little half-assed and weak compared to other shows like this, so getting an actual good story that made sense and fleshed things out more was welcome. The MC is actually pretty solid which is a rarity in shows like this as well. While he is not Kiyopon or Yuichi levels of cool, he’s pretty competent and makes smart decisions which is nice to see.
I enjoyed the art style and designs of the characters a lot. The girls were intentionally made to appeal to different peoples’ “ideal” and they did a good job of making a diverse set of looks for sure. I’m very partial towards Mongfa, but the other girls are good as well.
While Renai Flops may seem like a mediocre show that you can skip, I really do highly suggest checking it out if you’re into big plot twists and the intersection of technology/reality. There’s some legitimately good writing in this show that has unfortunately been under appreciated.
Renai Flops gets 8 out of 10.

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, anddoes 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 a fan of harem rom coms, you will probably drop this anime from the first episode. The show initially promised some wacky harem stuff, filled with all the tropes and cliches imaginable, and that is indeed what you get for six and a half episodes.
During that time, we get small individual arcs with the heroines in typical harem fashion. That itself isn't a bad thing; it is a way to appeal the heroines to the viewers, and also build up their love towards the main character. The issue is that the show only invests a single episode per heroine, and wraps up a good chunk of their emotional arc within that episode. This means that we mainly skim over their actual development, and also don't get a deeper picture on what sort of people they are, other than their basic trope. Admittedly, the arcs get more and more bizarre and some of the antics introduced are pretty funny, almost feeling like a parody than anything else. But that only means we don't get enough genuine character study on them or the main character. They are just roles for a harem scenario for those episodes.
Now, you might say, "Well this is a harem story after all, it's usually par for the course, so you should set your expectations accordingly." Normally, you'd be correct. But then the show suddenly brings in a twist (come on, let's not pretend that the fact that there's a twist to this show hasn't already been leaked to high heaven) which then turns this show into more of a techno-drama that's much heavier and serious.
So now we have a deeper, emotional second half that's built on a tropey, style over substance first half. The emotional bits don't hit as hard as they should because they are based on characters we only got caricature versions of before, and also because the pacing is rushed due to only having about five and a half episodes, most of which is filled with some techno-thriller plot rather than genuine character exploration. It's like trying to build the Eiffel Tower on a bed of key lime pies. You ruin the pies and also fail to set up the tower properly.
It's really a shame. I feel if the tone and characters were better handled, or if it had more episodes for better pacing and fleshing out its arcs, we could have had a clever subversion of harem stories, and also a thoughtful exploration of technology and loss. As it is, both its harem bits and its dramatic bits feel artificial. How ironic.

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 other crazy shit that I saw here… So original… And yes this is basically copy and paste for the first couple of episodes. Holy shittt… It really was hot shit with no set storyline. I felt like I was drunk watching the show even though I was sober the entire time. Not good… 🙁
It was almost uncanny sort of bad. Too trash to be true... Like the whole show is supposed to be geared towards Steve, a teenage dude going through that rough patch in his adolescence with his hormones. *wink* *wink*. The first half of the show feels engineered like it's supposed to be a fantasy world to help a certain someone escape reality, a certain someone like Steve… Maybe…. Who knows? Do you know because I dunno. Are we humans living in a simulation? Are anime and manga just a figment of our imagination? Yes… Who knows which question I could be answering above? It could be one of them… all of them… none of them…Thiz werlde iz notslddl;fksd’;f’asdadksdd;’

*Error…* *Error…* Error…*
*Brain Overheating…*
*System Rebooting*
Sorry about that, I had a mental system error there. Had to restart my brain… Basically that’s how abrupt the plot twist hit me when it occured during the show. I won’t tell ya what happened or when it did but oh boy did it change the tone and really gave the show points for creativity and dedication to the storyline. Still very trippy though.
All I can say is that Renai Flops flopped but in a somewhat good way. The show’s slow start and confusing story in the beginning is what turned off the show for many viewers, and I can understand why viewers felt that way. However, real show showed its true colors during the second half, and you MUST watch it all the way through if you decide to pick this one up. The concept of Yin and Yang are everywhere in our world, so you must watch through the painful and bad beginning to enjoy the latter half of this misunderstood title. Balanced.
I’m not saying it's great, it’s not even that good either but it ain’t bad for a rom-com show. 5 out of 10 for me.
*Disclaimer* I have nothing against any Steve or Steve’s in the real world. Steve was the first name I could think of. Using the MC’s real name is boring… Steve is more relatable imo… Sorry in advance if your name is Steve. Anyways, what are you still doing here… Go watch the show… or not… ok bye…
Overall: 5/10

There will be a few episodes where you'll be wondering what's going on, especially if you're like me and don't read up on what the anime is about. Of course, there are parts get pretty serious. If you like anime that has surprising twists, cute characters, a nice anime world, and the mc is okay then this is for you. The story was unique I have not come across anything like it. although it may have just i have missed The characters are quite well developed. You will definitely need a tissue to watch the anime. well not because of the ecchi part. The anime starts explaining thingsat episode 8 so be patient.
I highly recommend.

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 thefirst 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 awhile I couldn’t foresee the twist, hook, or ending (although the ending was similar to what I expected).
Best-Waifu
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 to create new memories and change itself)

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 comewith 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, but most of them are only hinted. At some points there's even legit censorship effect. I don't know how ecchi became a cardinal sin over the years, but if they decide to make ecchi anime, they should do it properly instead of leaving so much to one's imagination. Speaking of tags, the page of this anime could also use a 'drama' tag. Not going to elaborate much. Drama is not dominant but there's enough to poke your feelings.
If you are looking for some fun shounen harem romcom experience, this anime delivers in my opinion. It has consistent writing and a proper satisfying ending. It's not as good as they were generally used to be, but still very good.

While, yes, this anime is a cheesy harem full of tropes and a little chaos, but there is a reason for it. The best thing to do is stick with the show. If you do that, you will almost certainly develop an appreciation for it. There are specific reasons for this, but for the sake of avoiding spoilers, I will just tell you: trust me on this. Some people have given poor reviews of this show. One such review complained that "the femboy" didn't get them up. And to that I say, correct. This show is not intended to be jerk-off material. It's a cute haremthat subverts your expectations. You can't go into the show expecting a hentai or you will be sorely disappointed. Treat it more or less as a standard harem anime.

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 effect. The final episode to wrap things up is a step in the right direction and a... decent conclusion all things considered.
My legitimate recommendation for the optimal viewing experience? Watch the first 5 or 6 episodes and stop there. It's a 9/10.
As a complete package the full series is a weak 7/10, maybe a 6/10 depending on the day. Still an overall positive experience don't get me wrong, but it had a lot of wasted potential.

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 wasunfortunate, 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 world, and I wonder if there now do they live side by side with humans and become a kind of robot?"

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.

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 watchingthe 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 tropes for this type of anime and executed them the perfect way one would expect them to happen, only to make a 180° turn and throw off the audience completely. To then end it with some heart wrenching drama and finally lifting up your spirit once again in the epilogue.
The characters in this show are your typical harem comedy tropes that you would expect but only for a part of the anime. The girls and the mc as well have genuine emotions that they go through and are portrayed greatly in the later part of the anime. The music in this one was pretty good, I especially liked the way they played with the ending song in a way that fit the plot, something very ingenious that I have also seen in Akiba Maid War this year. The animation was decent, but what made this anime so great was the unpredictable twists of the story that enhanced everything that came before to a major degree. The finale knows what it does, it pulls at your heartstrings in all the right places and after shattering your soul offers some relieve to leave you with a bitter sweet smile on your face.
In the end I am glad I watched it and hope many people that may have dropped it after a couple episodes will come back to fully experience this. I never would have imagined this anime to be such a wild ride of emotions ranging from laughter and ridiculousness over disbelief to sadness and finally relief. This places ridiculous high on my list, but as I feel deservedly so, I give it a 9/10.

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 withAi 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 that there aren’t any positives. The music wasn’t anything special, and the animation was pretty bad I’m not gonna lie. Honestly, there just isn’t anything here to write home about.
Characters: 6
For starters, the main love interests are all pretty one-dimensional, and the Main Character isn’t anything special either, but I do think the last 3 or so episodes really did them a little bit of justice, I also think Ai’s background was done pretty well too.
Story: 4
So, while I don’t hate the ending, and in the grand scheme of things, I thought they ended it pretty okay. There are just way too many plot holes, and as I mentioned before they took way too long to get the actual plot moving, as for a majority of the anime it felt like I was literally watching nothing. There was genuinely no substance to it at all. I think that there was potential for this to be better, but the execution was not the best, Overall, I’ll give this 5 bananas out of 10.

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 owndedicated 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 that episode to come. The animation wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad either so there isn't all that much to talk about there. The OP and ED were satisfactory, however the OP was a bit better and pretty good to say the least.
Some could say that the ending was one to be desired, that it wasn't executed perfectly or that it was almost predictable from early. But I felt like it was nice round off to an anime that honestly exceeded my initial expectations of it and I will give it credit for that.

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 offto 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 best. If it leaves you curious about how we got to this point: watch the rest. If not then skip.
SamuraiSamual
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 setup 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 me feel for all of the characters which surprised me and the way all of the characters stories tie off was really nice and the general vibe of the second half while different from the first was still very engaging and made me want to see what would happen next.
However, the story of the first half isn't anything special when compared to any other harem as it has the stupid set up to have them all under one roof and all the weird sexual moments that come out of nowhere, and even though I liked the twist into the second half the actual second half itself did lose my interest a bit until it picked back up again.
Overall I felt it was a decent show but if you don't want to deal with some very absurd scenes with very out there dialog i wouldn't suggest it as that is the first half of the show and as much as I enjoyed it, if you won't the second half isn't worth suffering through the first as it's not anything wildly different or special from other shows of a similar nature, but if you're up for stupid and funny scenes without worrying about the ridiculousness of it then I heavily recommend for a good laugh and a good twist.

Doki Doki Harem Club. So… I’ve been trying to think for a long time how to go about reviewing Love Flops. There is so much I want to say about it. SO.MUCH. At the same time, I don’t think it’s fair for me to spoil an anime that you should absolutely go into blind. So instead of the usual style I write reviews, I’m going to go straight to my conclusion. Love Flops is a really hard sell. I actually almost dropped it after it’s incredibly boring first three episodes, but the fourth had enough crude yet, good humour for me to keep going, and onceeach episode started getting weirder and weirder, I was pretty much hooked.
It takes a huge risk asking the audience to sit through six episodes of quite frankly mediocre yet, insane harem shenanigans with surprisingly tame and conservative ecchi scenes for a studio Passione production and incredibly hit or miss humour, in order to arrive at the pay off which I personally, am not sure it was worth it.
I think the mystery angle and the ending ruins its very strong commentary about sad, lonely, loser nerds relying on waifu’s for escapism instead of trying to overcome their issues and make real relationships with real people to fill the void. In the hands of a better writer with a stronger vision for the narrative, the twist would’ve been way more impactful and effective.
That being said, I did enjoy most of my time with it. It is certainly a show that will catch you off guard with some of the outlandish situations it presents, and the world building is pretty interesting.
I can’t say I recommend Love Flops, but if you want to give it a try then y’know… do it.
5/10 Mediocre.
olddecrepitman
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 byabout 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 in the first episode where a femboy gets sexually assaulted by a dog that may make the anime sound really interesting and funny but it isnt even its nothing its the most nothing i have ever seen in my life in short just watch odd taxi same amount of episodes and a way better show

Totally unexpected plot development, literally blew my mind by the mid season episodes. I actually watched this anime because of the one clip of the ping pong match (the hot springs episode) I saw in reels. Basically I came here for the fanservice but OH BOY THIS TURNED OUT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE. I haven't seen much of romantic comedies in both anime and live action versions and especially not the ones which includes Artificial Intelligence so on that note I really enjoyed this one. I liked the main character, my initial thoughts was that he too would be a sleazeball in a typical haremanime but nothing like that. The music was a banger and the NSFW scenes (not much NSFW .-.) were quality content.
