Sinopse:
There is only one person that high school student Saito Houjou truly cannot stand—and that is his temperamental classmate, Akane Sakuramori. The two have always been on bad terms; their contrasting views and personalities only lead to endless fighting. However, everything changes when Saito's grandfather and Akane's grandmother arrange a sudden meeting and insist that the two get married!
Walking down the aisle is the last thing Saito and Akane want, but they are quickly coerced into accepting the ridiculous plan and soon move into a shared house as husband and wife. Although Saito and Akane despise each other, navigating life together under the same roof may just turn their bitter hatred into everlasting love.

Have you ever had that friend who actually changed the homework they borrowed from you? Kudos to them for the valiant effort, but here’s the thing: if they have to copy, they're probably not that bright in the first place. Sadly, Kurakon’s author is that friend who will probably get you expelled from college for aiding academic plagiarism. The assignment is due tomorrow morning and it is already 2 am. Kurakon picked up a dusty copy of “Nisekoi” from a second-hand bookstore this afternoon. No one will remember this old show, Kurakon’s author thinks to himself. But who cares if someone does remember? He has betterthings to worry about - escaping the authoritarianism of Turnitin similarity checks. If we cannot use synonyms, why don’t we just use acronyms? Just reverse some of the settings, no one will ever find out. Instead of having the male protagonist hate the family business, we will have him love it, so much so that he is willing to become partners with his female archnemesis. The duo were a couple? Just make them marry! It was the father who forced the male protagonist. Let’s just make it his grandfather, I am sure no one will notice the subtle word change. What about the duo doing everything to act like they are partners? Just have them do everything to act like they are not partners. Turnitin can suck it up!
Hmm… The similarity index is still at 90%. The highlighted words are: “Tsundere female protagonist”, “tsundere male protagonist”, “drama between tsundere couple”, “female protagonists who are secretly in love with the male protagonist”, “female protagonists competing for the male protagonist”, and last but not least, “the duo met each other when they were children”. Alas, sunlight is pouring through the curtain and the deadline is closing in. Kurakon’s author had no choice but to leave the premise at that.
Now we have the premise. To make it less of a plagiarised work, I got to diversify my sources, thought Kurakon’s author. He put on his best cosplay of Professor Utonium and starts indiscriminately throwing shit in, an insufferable female protagonist here, some braindead behaviour there, and some more incest bait just because why not. Well, at least he kept some of the fanservice parts out. There! The similarity index is now 60%. Great work!
Although Kurakon may escape the scrutiny of the similarity checks for the time being, it certainly cannot pass the AI detection tool. In Episode 3, Akane was sick, and Saito had to take her to the hospital. Of course, being the genius he is (because the prompt says so), he chose to rush Akane on foot because that was the fastest way possible. Here, Kurakon’s author must have forgotten to prompt ChatGPT that the duo lives in the modern age, where transport tools such as taxis or emergency services like ambulances exist, even in the mystical oriental realm of Nippon. Although Saito is in a way different league in terms of sheer memory and brainpower (he could even learn an obscure language in just one night!), he just could not remember his childhood crush’s face. In a surprising turn of events that no mortal audience could have predicted (unless you are Saito (sadly Saito himself could not predict it too)), that girl was, in fact, the one he saw every day at school and grew up with. It could have been a momentary lapse on the part of Saito, but being a prodigy who remembers every detail of his newly-wedded wife’s routine when pondering the whereabouts of a missing item, it is highly unlikely that this could have happened. I think the more probable reason is that Kurakon’s author forgot to write this bit in the same conversation, causing ChatGPT to forget that Saito was, as a matter of fact, a genius.
Jokes and rants aside, “Kurakon or: How I Learned to Stop Whining and Love the Cringe” led me to reflect on the seminal question of entertainment: is the ultimate purpose of television shows to entertain? If so, is there “bad” entertainment? Is it better to have a boring show than a show with lousy entertainment? In my view, I would always take a show like Kurakon over a boring show - At least I would have the motivation to write a review about it, rather than rate it a 1 and leave it at that. If you know how the anime industry works in Japan, anime is just an advertisement. And as an advertisement, Kurakon succeeded and made a great deal of impression on me, not to mention the fact that this anime has over 100,000 members on MAL. Let’s just be honest, 10 years later, you will remember how cringeworthy The Room was, but you will not remember how boring Transformers was.

What a disgrace how this anime turned out. This show is running circles with no real progression happening and then it's finished off with an inconclusive ending, basically back to base 1. In itself it was a promising anime that could've been much better easily, yet it keeps repeating the cycle of the main couple getting closer then further then closer than further etc. Whenever they are getting closer Akane snaps, gets embarassed/shy and pushes Saito away, this happens every other episode, each cycle being built around some bs trope. Worst of all is that each conflict could be solved in 2 minutes by the charactersnot bottling up all their emotions or just being less oblivious, this is the worst kind of progression roadblocks, absolutely cheap and unnecessary.
The reason it sucks the most is that the main couple is actually so charming that you just can't help but root for them (if you ignore how Akane gets shy almost all the time), it's that typical anime where you can't wait for them to get together and just feel happy for them, but there's so little progress in this anime, that (if there will ever be a season 2) you could skip season 1 and basically no value is lost, only backstory...
As a stand alone season, it was a nothing burger. If this anime gets a 2nd season then it's more acceptable, but if we're being realistic I doubt we're getting a 2nd season.

Rom-coms in latest years have a syndrome of pairing up characters in a relationship while trying to hide their true nature. Such examples include Rent-a-Girlfriend and 365 Days to the Wedding has this as a central plot device. Why do rom-coms like to adapt story in such a way? The answer is simple because there are just countless opportunities for drama and storytelling. Class no Daikirai na Joshi to Kekkon suru Koto ni Natta (I'm Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class) is just the latest example. The premise brings together a bag of mixed drama containing misunderstandings, heated arguments, and endless amountof character personalities clashes. You know the time when you and a sibling fight over something stupid like 'who has to take out the trash today'? That's the impression this anime gives when we see our two main characters bicker. It's a timeless way of bringing drama together. It doesn't help that the promotional material never hides their constant bickering. But still, some rom-coms make complete 180s after a certain amount of time has passed. Will this show do the same?
To understand our main characters, Saito Houjou is generally seen as level headed unless he interacts with Akane. The two fights over everything and brings the worst out of each other. But don't get the imprssion wrong. Neither characters are truly despicable and malicious. At worst, they are just childish and annoying, like a talking shadow. However, Akane is the worst example of a character who can't seem shut her mouth. Throughout the series, she displays a short tempered personality while staying in her competitive space. This creates an environment that clashes against Saito, the person she is arranged to marry. To make matters worse, they struggle to hide their relationship from public and often creates misunderstandings. That's right, a rom-com like this doesn't need to really try much to create them because it naturally just come when two characters are clashing 24/7.
After the first episode, I question myself if there's sort of mutual attraction between them or is this show an entire sitcom of heated drama. Luckily, there are times when the two seems to drop their guards and care for each other. Akane's hostility towards Saito lessens with each episode and she also shows her more vulnerable side. Saito on the other hand grows to more accepting of their arranged marriage because it also aligns with his own goals. We are also introduced to other prominent characters including Akane's best friend Himari, who is much more tolerable. A free spirited girl and natural beauty, it doesn't take long for the audience to realize she's in love with Saito. Considered as a foil character compared to Akane, she is friendly towards to just about anyone but especially wants to be with Saito. This is revealed in background storytelling and as part of the plot, there are segments where the show pairs her and Saito together.
On the other hand, Maho Sakuramori enters this anime with fierce aggression and plan to seduce Saito. Taking a practical approach, it sends Saito into a borderline frenzy mode just how aggressive she can be. Although this series is known for creating drama, Maho is the the guiltiest example. She practically exists for the sake of drama. Otherwise, Saito also has to deal with his devoted cousin Shisei who seems to just exist to show her loyalty. This season essentially has these characters around Saito with conflicting personalites that makes his life like a non-stop rollercoaster.
Sometimes, drama can be used wisely. Other times, it can be insufferable. Where does this show fall under? The answer can be hard because everyone will have different impressions on how drama is protrayed. However, this anime's drama is nothing short of cartoony and childish. The amount of arguments and misunderstandings this show outclasses most anime I've seen in recent seasons. Every episode or even nearly every segment, our characters are put on the spot for drama. It's not like soap drama because this show is still maturing and the characters aren't adults yet. But imagine when they enter the adult world. They'd have to worry a whole lot more than just those silly arguments.
It has a colorful look for sure, necessary to give youth to the show's character designs. The main cast is protrayed with care including Saito who is mostly well dressed. Akane has the typical look of a tsundere girl if you've seen similar anime. Himari is protrayed with a gyaru look that adheres to a more outgoing personality while Maho purposely wears loose clothing to attract Saito. It adapts straight from the light novels so nothing more or nothing less should be expected.
When a title uses 'hate' as a word, it usually evokes a strong emotion or at least it should. In this anime, that's protrayed comically especially when two airheads are bumping heads against each other everyday. Watching this anime made me realize that a marriage for two characters so different maybe just aren't made for each other. Sure, they warm up more after understanding each other. But does that really create an environment for two be with one another happily after after? This show sure doesn't give that feeling.

I think I was wrong to watch this on my TV. I should have seen it through my toilet bowl. I want to start this with the positive point of the show: the character designs. They are generic but functional. At the end of the day, you'll end up liking one of the girls more just because the design matches your tastes. The problem is that everything is ruined as soon as they open their mouths because the dialogue is so poorly done that no matter who speaks, you only end up generating a certain amount of rejection. Now for the part that matters to us: everythingthat's wrong with the anime. Starting with the script, which doesn't meet the most basic points of a romance. The problem with the script is that it never decides whether it wants to be an enemies-to-lovers or a classic school romance. It tries to be an enemies-to-lovers where feelings change through living together. Only the fact of living together has no impact because the problems and benefits of living with your partner aren't explored. One of the points of Enemies to Lover is that at the beginning there's a clear rivalry or hatred between the characters, but they never explain why these two hate each other; they just hate each other for the sake of it. Plus, the hatred feels too artificial because, in the end, the girl is just another tsundere. As if this character archetype wasn't overused enough, Daikirai exploits it even more in the most clichéd way possible. When Enemies to Lovers falls apart, it also tries to be a classic school romance, but it lacks one of the most important elements: "Meet Cute." It's that moment where both protagonists begin to develop a romantic interest in each other. Only here, we never understand why the protagonists are attracted to each other; they simply take it for granted, hoping the viewer won't notice. Romance, like hatred, feels artificial. There's only attraction because there has to be one for the plot to keep moving forward. The anime is happier the more explanations it has to give and the fewer brain cells the viewer has to use watching this. The characters' personalities are only disliked; none of them are liked in the slightest. The male protagonist is this all-powerful guy, who's supposed to be attractive and everyone likes him, but there's no valid reason for them to like him. Ultimately, the guy is just arrogant and selfish, and a terrible roommate because he has the worst hygiene and contributes nothing to the housework. The female protagonist is a tsundere, but at the most unbearable end of the archetype. She's a character who only goes around in circles, denying and accepting her feelings depending on who's in front of her and depending on what feeling the plot needs at that moment. The rest of the girls only have a manipulative homewrecker, an overprotected younger sister with no respect for personal space and a homewrecker, and an incestuous cousin who has a crush on her cousin for no apparent reason other than that they're cousins. All the girls are attracted to the protagonist, but I'll say it again: there's no reason for it.
The script lacks continuity; it constantly forgets past events, causing the characters to move forward and backward in their development from one chapter to the next. In one chapter, the protagonists act quite romantically, where it seems the relationship is moving in a positive direction, only to find themselves hating each other again in the next. Their personality traits are so inconsistent that they even contradict each other. For example, they tell us the protagonist has a photographic memory and forgets absolutely nothing, only to tell us a couple of chapters later that he's forgotten a girl he met in the past, aside from his first kiss. It's inconsistent that in one chapter, the protagonist has found a lost ring with only his memories, only to be told later that he's forgotten who he had his first kiss with.
It's obvious that the author of this story and I have the same writing skills; the difference lies in the fact that he was lucky enough to be published. The narrative quality is zero; the characters are flat, lacking depth and without solid reasons for their actions. This is more of a punishment than an anime; this is something you'd recommend to your worst enemy. I say this because someone recommended it to me, and I realized that person hated me with all their heart.

This anime should come with a warning: “Prolonged exposure may cause bleeding ears and emotional detachment.” Story : 1/10 The premise already sounds like it came from a gacha machine that ran out of ideas : A forced marriage arranged because the grandparents had an unfinished love story? Imagine your grandparents’ failed teenage romance becoming your life sentence. That’s the premise, A “forced marriage” between two people who hate each other because grandpa and grandma never got to smash. It’s not even bad enough to be funny it’s just confusingly Pointless, The writing tries so hard to be “romantic comedy,” but forgets the “romantic” and completely murders the“comedy.”
Characters Development : - 0/10 (Yes Negative)
Let’s talk about the so-called heroine, Akane. is a walking natural disaster with vocal cords, She doesn’t talk she detonates every sentence like she’s in a permanent boss fight against peace and quiet, Every argument feels like a car alarm stuck on loop, and every scene sounds like an emergency broadcast for your sanity. Akane, the heroine, is what happens when someone mistakes “tsundere” for “unmedicated anger issues.” She doesn’t speak she erupts. Every conversation is an Olympic-level shouting competition where the only gold medal is hearing loss, If auditory suffering had a name, it would be this Anime, Akane’s voice acting should come with a health warning, Every scream feels like someone trying to exorcise your eardrums, Some scenes are so loud I had to check if my headphones were possessed, You think she’ll mellow out by episode 12? No. She evolves into a louder species Each episode feels like a social experiment : how long can you tolerate human noise before your brain starts buffering.
Meanwhile, MC exists purely to absorb the sound waves of her screaming, He’s not a character; he’s a crash test dummy for emotional abuse, Together, they form the most miserable depiction of “romantic tension” ever animated two people who clearly need therapy, not marriage, Their chemistry? It’s like watching two AI chatbots argue over Wi-Fi.
Even side characters seem aware they’re trapped in a low-budget hostage situation. Half of them look like they’re waiting for studio mercy.
Plot? : 0/10 There’s no Plot. No emotional weight. Just a girl screaming and a guy wondering what cosmic sin he committed to deserve this.
Comedy : 0/10 The comedy doesn’t land because it never even tries to.
It’s like the show assumes loud = funny.
Spoiler: it’s not. It’s just loud.
Art : 3/10
Mediocre at best. Characters look fine until they open their mouths. Then everything collapses, tone, pacing, and your will to live, There’s nothing visually offensive, but also nothing worth looking at twice.
Enjoyment : Depends on your kink / 10
If your idea of fun is psychological noise torture and watching a relationship that makes Rent-a-Girlfriend look emotionally healthy congrats, you found your masterpiece.
By episode 12, you won’t be cheering for love you’ll be bargaining with God for silence.This Anime doesn’t entertain it tests. It tests your patience, your sanity, and your faith in humanity’s creative direction, If you made it to the end, you’ve unlocked monk-level enlightenment and tinnitus as a bonus.
Please, for your own well-being, do not recommend this to friends, Recommend it to your enemies, Preferably with the volume maxed out.

Honestly, I started off kinda enjoying it — the idea of two people being forced into marriage while still hating each other had potential. The tension, the banter, the awkward romance — it was fun at first. But after that pink-haired girl showed up, it just started falling off hard. The whole vibe shifted, and not in a good way. She felt so out of place and completely ruined the dynamic between the main characters. And don’t even get me started on the ending... it felt so rushed and underwhelming. Like, all that buildup for this? Bruh. Overall, the anime had potential but dropped the ball halfway through.Mid-tier at best — kinda disappointed ngl.

Animation: 7/10 Character Design: 7/10 Main Story: 5.5/10 Main Heroine: 6.5/10 Supporting Character Development: 6/10 Protagonist Development: 6/10 Soundtrack: 4.5/10 Final Score: 6.5/10 Class no Daikirai na Joshi to Kekkon suru Koto ni Natta is a romance/comedy anime that explores one of the most classic clichés of the genre: an arranged marriage or forced relationship between opposites due to an external decision. The story follows Houjou Saitou, a student who, despite being considered a genius at school, later reveals that his intelligence mainly comes from an exceptional memory. Due to a selfish decision made by his grandfather, he ends up engaged to Sakuramori Akane, a classmate who is dedicated to her studies inpursuit of her dream of becoming a doctor (for a deeper reason that would be a spoiler to explain). However, she strongly resents her arranged engagement, which was orchestrated by her grandmother. From there, the story begins to feel very familiar, as if we’ve seen it before (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing). The interaction between the two seems to improve, and it does, although at times it feels like everything resets to how it was initially.
The protagonists are relatively simple. At first, Akane’s personality might push away those who dislike tsundere heroines—because, yes, there’s no denying that she fits this archetype. However, over time, it's possible to get used to her and even grow attached. Saitou, on the other hand, simply goes with the flow. He has his moments of decision-making, but in general, he’s guided by the situation. Fortunately, he’s not the type of protagonist who self-sabotages due to a lack of initiative, but he also doesn’t stand out as particularly remarkable.
The first half of the anime mainly focuses on the development of the protagonists and their interactions as a couple. In the second half, new characters are introduced—some with a certain level of importance, though they often feel more like obstacles to the relationship (the kind that helps both of them face reality). A particularly interesting case is Akane’s sister, who misled many viewers unfamiliar with the original material. However, the biggest standout is Himari Ishikura, a classmate of the protagonists. For me, she was the character who defied expectations the most and became my favorite of this first season.
Moving beyond the story, the animation (produced by Gokumi and AXsiZ) is average. The art style is fairly generic, but at least there are no major animation flaws. The character movement lacks fluidity, but given the type of anime this is, the overall execution is decent. The biggest weakness, however, is the soundtrack. Unfortunately, there are no particularly memorable tracks or standout moments, whether during climactic scenes or lighter ones. It gives the impression that even if the anime were muted, it wouldn’t make much of a difference. The opening and ending themes are also nothing special, serving their function but failing to leave an impression.
In the end, the anime doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel and sticks to the traditional clichés of the school romance genre. Its execution is solid but unremarkable. The main characters have their moments, but the story doesn’t offer anything truly innovative or outstanding. The animation does its job, but the soundtrack is underwhelming. Ultimately, this anime might appeal to those who enjoy lighthearted romances with well-executed clichés, but don’t expect anything beyond the basics.

This is such a complete fuck-up that everything that happens on the screen is complete absurdity. If you want to laugh at the cringe and absurdity of what is happening, then this anime will do the trick. AI can't generate such a shitty plot. I RECOMMEND ONLY IF YOU ARE THE SAME CONNOISSEUR (TOTAL IDIOT) AS I AM. The characters are surprisingly well written, but the situations they find themselves in are horrific. You might like it if you can laugh at all the bad stuff that's going on there. I love laughing at all the absurdity that goes on there. If you do too, watch it. Этонастолько полный пиздец, что всё происходящее на экране - полный абсурд. Если хочется поржать над кринжовостью и абсурдностью происходящего, то это аниме справиться. Да не могут нейросети генерировать настолько хуёвый сюжет. РЕКОМЕНДУЮ ТОЛЬКО ЕСЛИ ВЫ ТАКОЙ ЖЕ ЦЕНИТЕЛЬ (НАГЛУХО ОТБИТЫЙ ПРОЩЕ ГОВОРЯ), КАК И Я.

I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. Finally, it ended. FFS. This last episode drained me. If someone tells you this is a good show, they are trolling you. Or worse, they are dumb. Knowing how this series is supposed to be and how it actually is, those are two different things. I don't know the sauce, I don't care about the sauce, I'll be talking about this media, the anime. And on paper, this one should've been nice, if not great. But that's not what we got. Why? Well, because this is not a rom-com anime, with character developmentand such. And why is that a bad thing? Usually, its not, unless you're trying to do a rom-com anime with char development, which they obviously tried. And now, spoilers free.
The visuals are good. More often than not, you'll enjoy what you're seeing. The designs are nice, or even really nice. I'm talking about the "normal" form, not the chibi one (aka half of anime). Those are a personal preference, so to each their own. The colors are bright, all is shiny, the VFX (for the scary stuff) is good etc. Yeah, yeah, nothing wrong with the visuals.
The audio. The OP and ED are ok, I guess. Decent music, decent scenes. The soundtrack is ok, it doesn't bother. For example, in the last ep: something happens, the music is supposed to reflect that. When the tone (of the scene) changes, the music also changes. And thats good. But it annoyed me because the scene and the dialogue are sh*t :))) What else? Yes, the VAs did what they could with what they had.
But now the "good" stuff. While the idea for the story might feel overused and yet interesting, the execution is bad. You might not notice it in the first episode, maybe not even in the second, but eventually you will notice that the plot is broken. Or you should. One of the best techniques for giving/implying character development is the use of drama. Take the character(s), give it a conflict, let it cook, show us the results. Pretty straightforward. Use multiple instances for the whole season (or a main one and a couple of tiny bits) for the whole season and you will get a pretty flushed out character. Well, fk it! You could just try "make her jealous" one episode after another, of different people. "But no, you see, She has layers". Everyone has layers! You can guess what the subtext will be for every character. BUt lets get back to the plot. Like I said, drama is needed. Or preferred. When done correctly, ofc. But here stuff happens just to get the next thing happening. A to B, to C etc. Now I'll go on a limb and say the source material follows the same direction. Because you can feel something unifying all the dumb decisions and dialogue. The story is forcing you to follow one road only and stuff happens just to move the plot to the next step needed. Ofc, most people wont even notice this because the show also has a lot of "comedic scenes". The so-called two men routine. 1 person says stuff, "funny" stuff obv, the 2nd one will respond with "THATS what you were referring to?", Now pls laugh. Ok, to be fair, there are some comedic scenes and lines, but usually most of them are used as a ploy to make the show feel more put together. It doesn't make sense, I know, but its true. You have the plot elements mixed with the comedy and maybe you wont notice that the sh*t is broken. What else? Actually no, this review is already long enough.
Again, this is not a good anime. People should diferentiate already between "this anime is good" and "i like this anime". You can like bad stuff. Nothing wrong with it. Example: Madame Web. That sh*t was hilarious. The movie was horrendous (plot, lines, acting etc etc), but hilarious exactly because of that. So: if someone recommends you this show assume they are trolling you. You can watch it for the visuals, for the skits, for whatever reason you feel like, but do not expect an interesting rom-com. Imagine if this whole series was about trying to live together while comedic and/or romantic stuff happens. And I'm not talking about those 2-3 scenes involving lunchboxes, entering a room while the other person was naked, skinship etc. I mean we kinda got some stuff but we needed more, more stuff focusing on them two. What would be like to be forced to live with a person of opposite sex? Just now got this, imagine "Angel next door" something. I don't remember the correct title (and I won't check, sorry). A boy and a girl, living together, classmates mustn't find out, they develop feeling for one another, if not already there etc. With skits, with some drama to deepen their relationship, whatever you want. But I guess always yelling, and skits, and cringe-tsundere (I'll coin this term) also works.
Anyway, thats all (this time for real). I'm giving it a 4, mostly for the visuals.
Have a lovely evening!

Class no Daikirai na Joshi to Kekkon Suru Koto ni Natta, or “the romcom anime that is 15 years late”... Characters, dialogues, tropes, animation style and character designs, absolutely everything in this anime is dated. So dated I’m starting to think I may actually have been run over by a truck and reincarnated in the year 2010. Jokes aside, let’s review this anime. -- Boring premise There’s a lot of anime out there that have an interesting base idea for a plot, but fail miserably in its execution. But as you can see from the synopsis, the plot of this anime doesn’t even sound good onpaper. Basically, it’s a high school romcom where the protagonist is forced into a relationship with a girl he hates, but surprise surprise, actually they’re going to fall in love for real. Totally didn’t saw that coming. So yeah, the idea is nothing new. In a sense it’s sort of reminiscent of Nisekoi, but taken a step further, since here the fake couple is forced to get married and live under the same roof day one.
-- The comedy can be decent
Most of the time the comedy of this anime is the type of interactions that’s been seen again and again in the medium, and it’s gotten old, especially since it revolves around basically two things : the characters constantly yelling at each other, and the fact that they aren’t yet completely aware of their true feelings, so they will act like they hate each other but feel the contrary. You know the drill. With that being said, there is some novelty. Since the fake couple is forced to live under the same roof, the comedy usually place at home rather than at school, which I have to admit, is quite rare. Sometimes it is decent, and I thought the use of chibi / deformed faces made the jokes more effective. But these are pretty much the only qualities to be found in this anime.
-- Cardboard characters
Another thing that makes this anime very generic and dated is the characters. They are all stereotypical and overused archetype seen hundreds of times. And as such, they are completely uninteresting. The main girl, Akane, is nothing more than a basic tsundere. Then you have the clingy little sister who is supposed to be cute despite being expressionless and emotionless, which is again another cliche. Then you also have Himari, a forgettable and boring character who is also madly in love with the protagonist, and only exists as a plot device to force the tsundere to realize her true feelings. The rest of the cast was so good I completely forgot about them. The soulless art-style and generic character designs is just the cherry on top.
-- A romcom where NOTHING EVER HAPPENS
As I said earlier, the plot of this anime is very predictable. But that’s not the only major flaw in plot. Class no Daikirai na Joshi to Kekkon Suru Koto ni Natta is yet another romcom where the characters take YEARS to realize that they actually love each other, and to express it, even though it’s obvious from the few early episodes. Well, actually their relationship seems to evolve, and little by little they start showing affection, but in the end, despite a ridiculous cat fight between Akane and Himari, it feels like nothing has changed.
-- The problem with these romcoms
I’m going to use this review as an opportunity to criticize a tendency that we see in a lot of anime romcoms. This anime suffers from the same flaw as most anime romcoms. It’s the usual thing where the moral of the story is that you have to be honest with yourself, true to your feelings, not suppress your jealousy, and that these feelings must lead you to action. The anime tries to teach you to be more assertive, to let go of self-restraint, not care about what other people may think, and not give up on the person you love. If the moral sounds good on paper, it’s not the same in practice. The problem with these romcoms is that they constantly show characters chained by their own sense of self-restraint, characters who suppress their love, desires, sexual attraction, etc. As a result they end up normalizing this kind of self-destructive behavior rather than help or educate the viewer.
-- Low production value
I already mentioned that the art-style and character designs where generic and soulless. The same goes for the backgrounds and the animation in general. The animation is of little quality and there is a general lack of movement. Well, one could say in such an anime it’s not a big problem. After all, the chibi faces did serve their purpose quite well. And it’s not like every anime needs to be filled with sakuga. On the upside, while the art-style is overused, I can’t really call it ugly. When it comes to the sound though, the backgrounds music is for the most part unnoticeable, and both the opening and ending songs sounded like generic garbage.
-- Conclusion
I don’t think there’s much to add here. While this anime has one or two qualities, overall it’s just very bad on top of being dated. Unless you have a fetish for the tsundere character archetype, there’s no way you’re going to enjoy this.

This anime has a very promising concept and the first seven episodes really delivered on that; after that, it devolved into nothing more than the worst romcom tropes thrown together into an uninteresting mess that left me infuriated after each episode up until the last one. I actually loved the first episodes and really enjoyed the 7th one. It gave me a genuine feeling of progress, I was left satisfied and I want to genuinely recommend these episodes, which were really fun. Sadly, I hated everything after that. I hoped for a satisfying conclusion after the last episodes for which I would readily stand these infuriatingparts, yet the show left where it started. There was nearly no development in any character at all and I still don't know anything about who and what the male mc actually is and why he acts how he acts.
Although this is a very personal review, I think my experience will resonate with most viewers and I sadly hope, that you won't have to sit through what I sat through. However, if a second season to this show will come out, I will probably watch it in hope of a satisfying conclusion, which is awfully missing after episode 12.
I can only recommend the full 12 episodes to people who enjoy the (probably not only in my, but most people's opinion) worst romcom-tsundere tropes and will gladly recommend the first 7 episodes of this season.

An anime where literally nothing happens from start to finish; absolutely no progress was made in any way. Let me start by saying this: the female MC was insufferable! She absolute worst character with no redeeming qualities, physically and verbally abusive, bi-polar, and just completely horrible. Tsundere is not even the word; I'm not a fan of tsunderes but she's so far beyond that that she can only be described as mentally challenged. Every sentence that comes out of her mouth is with a different emotion. One second she is in love with the male MC, the next second she hates him and verbally abuses him.The most annoying thing about her is that she doesnt speak in her normal choice for about 97% of the show. Every time she gets mad or has an emotional outburst (which is about every 5 seconds) she starts talking really fast and high pitch and it makes you want to throw a rock at her head. I know people joke about who's the best girl of the season, but if there was an award for worst girl, it would be her. She even confirm that she is stubborn and likes to argue, basically every guys dream (sarcasm). With other love interests being waaaaaaaay more appealing, I genuinely don't understand how she can be presented as a love interest. Its clear that shes going to end up with the male MC (maybe in season 27 they're finally confess their feelings for each other). She also has a little siter that is also batshit crazy that joins the series a bit later but she is also a walking nightmare that i dont even want to get into.
The male MC is basically a piece of cardboard. He has no real personality, ideas, or aspirations. We are only told that he is smart (only because he has a "perfect memory", not for any proper reason). His personality is basically dependent on who he's with at the moment. He is not completely unlikable, but this might just be because in comparison to Akane (the female MC) anyone would come off as saint. There is not much else to say about the male MC other than he is the basic Japanese beta male punching bag for the female love interest. He behaves perfectly normal, she gets mad out of nowhere and starts acting crazy, and then he apologizes like a cuck - repeat that about 10 times and that's basically the whole show. Nothing progresses beyond that.
You basically have your typical Japanese harem nonsense here where every girl the MC meets is madly in love with him and offers him her virginity on a silver platter but he is of course too pious and must reject them (a reoccurring theme in just about every anime that's completely based in reality). Of course harem wouldn't be complete without a loli. Now I'm not usually one to defend this type of thing but I will give credit where credit is due - at least they make the loli the same age as the MC. That's about all the credit I can give this show, cause everything else is just deplorable. The loli is his cousin, but she refers to him as her brother (I believe they grew up closely, thats why). She also hits on his lap for about 90% of the show; and is constantly doing inappropriate things like that. Oh, did i mention she is also madly in love with the MC (her cousin/brother) and offers herself to him every time they have speak. I think I'm just become numb to this kind of stuff; you watch enough anime and you learn it just comes with the territory. Again I cant really say anything bad about her when compared to Akane; at least this character has a personality and isn't abusing the MC (a high bar, I know).
Lastly there is Himari, maybe the only redeemable character in this show. With how much pedo shit is in anime, i always give credit when they have a love interest that is the same age as the MC (and actually looks like her age). She has a personality of her own and is a normal, well-adjusted high schooler; everyone in the anime would love to date her (except the MC). Himari is friendly, kind to the MC, let her feelings be known to him, and helps him when he needs it. This is of course every guys nightmare because the MC completely ignores Himari and focuses on the basket case that is Akane. Himari's past is brought up, how she hates being at home because of how bad her parents treat her (something the MC sympathizes with and relates too). This is never really further explored because the MC has to deal with some manic episode the female MC has going on. This series should have ended with the MC and Himari together while the female MC is committed to an insane asylum.
6/10 would not recommend: insufferable female MC, cardboard male MC, nothing progresses, wrong girl is winning/going to win.

I'm Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class — Love 'em or hate 'em, boy, do we sure LOVE the never-ending Nakama power of tropes and cliches. And whatever you do, don't EVER deny your true feelings. As long as the AniManga medium has existed since the "days of dawn", there'll be the "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatball" type of stories that exist to showcase its potential, yet, like "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice", the tropes and cliches that continue to see the light of day in the modern age, while getting old at best, just do not translate to thesuccess that executives had hoped for in jargon. Yet, in this Winter season, that's exactly the case for novelist Seiju Amano's Class no Daikirai na Joshi to Kekkon suru Koto ni Natta. a.k.a I'm Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class, which I reckon that the anime is more or less promotion for the source material, which saw the LN wrap up its final volume around the same time the show first started.
As a hardcore reader of the source material, I can guarantee you that Class no Daikirai is nothing new, especially within its rom-com mixture of genres that, genuinely, we've seen better over the past few years for similar shows that have succeeded much more. But for a reference (and especially a #throwback to the veteran AniManga fans), the show is pretty much akin to veteran novelist Yuyuko Takemiya's works of the classic Toradora! and Golden Time, if only slightly subtle as you compare its main characters of the money-loaded and venerable Saito Hojo alongside Akane Sakuramori being forced into an arranged wedlock by their grandparents of the former's grandfather Tenryu and the latter's grandmother Chiyo as their proxies. And you might be wondering: why do the elderly generation of Japanese people still want to play the game of wealth and fortune against kindled love, much less the unsolicited and bitter hate of rivals that have been at loggerheads with each other? The answer's simple: future generational wealth and reassurance.
For a start, both Saito and Akane are like ToraDora's Ryuuji Takasu and Taiga Aisaka, but even more rowdy, and the latter pretty much embraces the Tsundere culture that has riddled the anime scene since the late 2000s. Plus, with their confidantes of the former's younger cousin Shisei and the latter's best friend of gal Himari Ishikura, the entire situation between the lone guy and the 3 girls becomes more or less fractured all the more, where serious issues arise...from the genuine kindness plays out to enable the forming of yet another relationship but then becomes the one that would tarnish the reputations of their foreparents if it did happen; to just pure insanity and rioting of keeping secrets and creating jealousies between the girls to the lone guy, that he, at many points, has to step in and clear the misunderstanding for them, to the point of obnoxiousness. The sole redemption of the show (when it comes to characterization) lies especially with Shisei, because she's the cousin that, while having a serious case of brocon, her personality of just being a riot is all the more hilarious (and something that translated well into the anime, thanks to J-pop idol Dialogue+ member-cum-VA Nene Hieda's vocals that fit Shisei's character perfectly). You're going to have to witness more of a verbal (than physical) abuse of the female MC that just only wants to trigger the bad side of her forced partner, only for the latter to rebut back with the same nonchalant attitude until they calm down and talk legibly to find solutions to their rivalry. It's hard work, but redemption is even harder.
For an Aniplex project such as this, I'm even surprised that the usual studio company collab of Studio Gokumi x AXsiZ ever got off the ground, because it honestly doesn't look much different from the other shows that the sister studios have produced in the past. Sure, there is a bump in quality thanks to the big conglomerate's funding, though I'd tell you not to get your hopes high for a decent work like this one.
I'd expect music composer Arisa Okehazama to perform better, or at least admirably, though this show is not her finest work, to be frank. Even the OP/ED songs, as much as they are just idol-centric (=Love's OP) and happy-go-lucky (for the female VAs), can only do so much to create appeal for a show that has a "happily ever after" (and to be fair, the source material does hint at the awfully predictable ending). Either way, while it's catchy, it's kind of forgettable.
Alas, you can already tell if the show is for you in the first place: one being full of the tried-and-true stereotypical tricks of the trade and then getting stale quickly as to define not watching any future's worth of salvation. And I honestly don't blame you if that's what you're thinking at all. It takes one to see the appeal of the tropey cliche combo, but it takes another to just ride the wave and hope to see any good outcome(s) from it. To that I say, you'll be the judge of that.

(Class no Daikirai na Joshi to Kekkon suru Koto ni Natta). A romantic comedy anime about a heroine who hates the main character because she never wins academically at her school. The story is very interesting because the heroine, Akane, has an adorable tsundere personality. Moreover, we are given a sweet story where they live together and act like a newlywed couple, hahaha. Overall, the anime is very good, especially the beginning and middle episodes are very sweet to watch. However, I didn't give it a 10 because of the slight love polygon element, which is a genre I really hate. My rating for this anime is8/10.

This Anime is out of my expectation. Some people seek for am intimate intrict or drama as well as cool action scene, but you can't get along with all of that in this show. At first, this Anime is for people who are able to laugh at absurdity or shitty things around, this Anime is well-written in basic, the characters are also genuine and feel safe to watch, especially the Main Character, this Anime just dumped all of the hell situation they are in, within an absurdity. However, i found this Anime is for me, especially the peak scene between Himari and Akane in thelast eps.
At last, you will know if some Anime are made for you or not, fundemantally, I'm not into absurdity comedy which wrapped with romance genre, prefer deeper story, drama and characters such as Oregairu. Nevertheless, this Anime success to make me feel convenient watching it, i suppose it is because the genuine characters and the absurdity comedy are purely for someone with taste, like me. Lol.

You have already seen this show. It's every other romance with no interesting plot point or character/s to differentiate it. No modern amenities really either, but hey it was cute and I liked it. Don't bother watching it unless it's the only thing left on your list like I did. MAL requires me to write more to post the review, blah blah blah, plot point is blah, hooplah, girls were alright, mc was mid. blah blah. Seriously why can I not just post a review with 2 lines that adequately explain the point? Afraid of bots? get real. I can not post the review because it isnegative and I did not meet a word count. baby shi fr

It seems that I've been late in giving a review after scoring, but that doesn't stop me now. The picture is balanced where color and brightness are concerned in this anime, at least to be enjoyed as a meal companion. An interesting premise, plus some characters, makes it an anime that can be quite popularly discussed at the time of airing in its season. What makes me give it a low score? It may be quite funny, but after you watch it all the way through, this anime has no clear explanation or narrative direction. Maybe we should look at the synopsis. But not everyone wants toread it, as a result, the early episodes of the anime show the goal but there is no context of where you want to go. And the peak is at the end of the episode. We wonder whether this anime will continue or not, there is no narrator or inner voice that explains to make us as viewers confused. Is this anime going to continue or not? And when the episode is over I really feel very annoyed!
Then, the thing I don't like here is, the artstyle change to chibby mode is really annoying. Yes, I know that this anime brings comedic things, but breaking the feud and suddenly something silly happens, I can't accept if the artstyle is also changed.
Fan service is nothing interesting.
Hopefully the licensors and producers will not look at stories like this again to be adapted in the future.

Honestly this RomCom is a disaster. Let's start with the MC, a flat character with no appealing with the usual good behaviour who is forced into marriage with one of the most sterotypical tsunderes out here plus we have the gyaru and the Cousin aka your typical imouto. The plot like i've already mentioned begins when the male MC is forced into marriage with Akane (the tsundere) by their grandparents, this premise wouldn't damage the romcom quality if only the plot wasn't so exagerate in its tropes which is actually what happens and no, it doesn't get better. Don't waste your time watching this romcom, there are waymore better ones out there.

When I first stumbled upon the trailer for this anime - I'm Getting Married to the Girl I Hate in My Class, I was kind of hyped, not gonna lie. The premise looked like the perfect setup for some spicy tsundere romance, forced proximity, maybe even a bit of that "enemies to lovers" magic. And to be fair, I was totally down for that. I thought it might give off the same feelings I had when I first watched Tsuki ga Kirei or Nisekoi—turns out, it tried to be Nisekoi's cousin, but ended up feeling more like a weaker imitation. The show starts off strong withthe whole "our grandparents arranged our marriage" twist, and Akane being this feisty, sharp-tongued tsundere with soft layers underneath was honestly the hook for me. She was the reason I stayed. I loved how she tried to balance her pride with her emotions—felt pretty real to me, like she didn’t want to give in but deep down, she was opening up little by little. Those tiny smiles and quiet moments she had were genuinely sweet. She was carrying half the emotional weight of the series on her shoulders, no cap.
But then… Saito.
Man, this dude had me pulling my hair out. You’ve got this guy who’s objectively smart, composed, kinda aloof (in a cool way?), but then comes to romance and emotional intelligence? My guy completely short-circuits. He’s living under the same roof as Akane, she’s cooking for him, they’re brushing shoulders almost every day, sharing vulnerable moments—and yet he acts like it’s all just part of the curriculum. Like bro, are you dense or just scared of commitment?
And don’t even get me started on his dynamic with Himari and Shisei. I get it, they’re classmates and have their own stories, but at some point, it just felt like he was emotionally cheating, even if it wasn’t intentional. There’s this scene (you’ll know which one if you’ve watched it) where Himari leans in a bit too close, and instead of drawing the line, he just... freezes. Like, really? If I was engaged—even if reluctantly—I’d at least respect the boundaries of the person I’m sharing a roof and future with. This dude’s heart is everywhere but where it’s supposed to be.
Honestly, what killed it for me was the glacial pacing. Twelve episodes in, and the needle barely moved. It’s like watching two people on a slow escalator… but the escalator’s broken. You don’t even get a clear sense of progress—no confirmation of who likes who, no resolution, not even a strong emotional climax. Just... cute moments sprinkled here and there, which, I’ll admit, were adorable enough to save this from a 4/10.
And yeah, I’ll confess—I did enjoy those cute bits. Some of the domestic scenes were warm and fuzzy, like watching a half-baked romance play out in slow motion. It gave me a couple of "aww" moments, and I’m a sucker for those.
So… will I be watching Season 2? Eh. Only if the writers decide to give Saito a brain (or a heart), and actually let the story progress. If he stops tiptoeing around his own damn feelings and finally chooses Akane and proves it—not just by words, but actions too—I might just stick around.
Until then, this one sits at a 6/10 for me. Has potential, but right now? It's like a lukewarm cup of tea that you keep sipping, hoping it'll get better.
