Watashi ga Motete Dousunda

While the premise of this show might seem shallow and repetitive at first, I think it's worth sticking around to look into. I found this show totally by accident. I watched a clip of it on Youtube, encompassing Serinuma's weight loss transformation. It looked funny, so I decided to give it a try. Needless to say, within the first episode, I found myself pissed off by most of the people in the show, especially because they were all so shallow and rude. However, as the show went on, it really grew on me, and while I don't agree with some of the statements made, it made for a really fun time. To begin with, the story; the story was decent (I would have preferred a few modifications; after all, fluctuating weight is a problem, especially when starving yourself is how you get there) and I had a lot of problems with the fat-shaming. However, the show got better in that aspect. It showed change in the people who previously fat-shamed Serinuma, who learned to fall in love with a personality instead of an appearance. I thought the message was sweet. I liked it even better considering I'm a massive fangirl and otaku myself-- however, I'm not as big on BL as Serinuma is. I just ship EVERYTHING-- no restrictions. :) As a fellow obsessive fan, I really enjoyed all the little references in the show and nods to fan culture. (AND YES IT DOES MATTER WHOSE NAME COMES FIRST IN A SHIP FIGHT ME) (I'm worse than I thought I was...) XP The art was beautiful. The backgrounds were colorful and ever-changing, not to mention that all the girls and guys were drawn beautifully and were very appealing to look at. The sound was alright. Both the opening and ending were catchy, but I'm not sure if I would listen to it again unless it just came up. The background music was fitting and wasn't distracting. The characters were pretty amazing. As a fangirl, I appreciated having the community represented by such an amazing example :D Jokes aside, it's been a while since I've seen a heroine with so much nerve and passion, and considering that I hate most female characters (they're usually written as passive, submissive, and weak) I was pleasantly surprised to find myself liking one-- ESPECIALLY in a reverse harem anime! Some of the boys were insufferable at first due to their rude behavior when Serinuma wasn't attractive, but a few of them I liked (namely Mutsumi and a little Igarashi as well) because they respected Serinuma even when she was 'fat'. While Nishima definitely isn't my type, I really loved her respect and honest love towards Serinuma, no matter what she looked like. Despite being an avid shipper of anything and everything, by the end of the show, I just loved everyone together as a friend group opposed to anyone dating Serinuma (though I think Mutsumi deserves her most out of everyone there... I can find room in my heard for Nishima and Igarashi if need be). I enjoyed this way too much and finished it in less than 24 hours (which I rarely do... I usually don't get this excited over many shows). There were enough references and fangirl jokes to have me on the ground laughing (which is rare for me, I rarely laugh while watching anime) there were also enough cute moments for me to be screaming into the void as my shriveled fangirl heart started beating again. All in all, this was a wild ride, and I was glad I tried it! I would recommend this if you: like otome games, like reverse harems, like smexy boyish lesbian girls, like hot dudes, like cliche anime episodes like the 'beach' episode and the 'ghosts' episode, are a fangirl, are a BL fangirl, like shipping things, like humor and satire I would NOT recommend this if you: don't like harems of any sort, don't like fangirl or fangirling, you don't like shipping, you like serious plotlines, you wanted serious romance Have a great day everyone!

This is a pretty good anime. The story is interesting. The characters are great and funny. I loved the animation as well. I do recommend it because you will laugh your pants off. The main girl is Kae Serinuma who by the way is hilarious. I swear she cracked me up every episode. She honestly makes the show. The guys are also pretty funny. If you're looking for a funny high school romance story then this is it! However, there are two things that I didn't like 1.) The way she lost weight makes no sense. 2.) I hated how the guys who ignored her for years are now suddenly into her because she's hot. Mutsumi senpai was the only one who was kind to her before. ANYWAY, I know a lot of people hate the ending but honestly I kind of liked it. It was different and funny. It's a great show so go watch it! Also I hope they make season 2.

Is it wrong to enjoy this show? I mean I would't tell anyone I watched it. I feel like this insults my super ultra analyst reviewer persona to an freakish degree. Harems are objectively bad and no one should enjoy them right? Well Its a bad show but if anything was good it's the voice acting which is fantastic and is the best thing added to the anime. The hilariously goofy voices add alot to the characters like when serinuma and nishina go full fujoshi mode. The ed is also good but set's me off at the same time. I value their friendship more than the who win's deal.I like all the characters and their individual episodes do well to flesh them out. Nanashima is best guy his relationship with his sister felt so wholesome like they were actually siblings and not gross anime stereotypes. Mutsumi and Igarashi are alright characters who care more for serinuma over the course of the show. I would've given this show a 7 if the ending was better and did'nt make me feel like everything I just watched was pointless.I had some fun with this show and no one should be ashamed of what they like which is why I dislike the term guilty pleasure. I feel some kind of desire to read the manga which is more than most other shows accomplish.

Watashi ga Motete Dousunda is a good anime. It has a good story, one I wanted to see completed. However, I was so disappointed at the ending, I'm not gonna spoil it, whoever is reading this review, go watch the ending and then you'll see what I mean. In the end, the anime's about Serinuma and how she deals with the world around her, a girl obssessed with anime and BL stuff, she even does it when she gets more friends (and gets extremely thin and beautiful... Can't you that IRL). Kinda makes you think: "What about her other friend?" Yeah, I wonder that too. Overall, it's a good anime. I recommend it to old anime watchers and to people new to anime.

Watashi ga Motete Dousunda (Kiss Him, Not Me) is about a girl named Kae Serinuma who is an otaku and an avid lover of all things yaoi. She begins the story being overweight, but once she watches her favorite anime character get killed off she grieves for him and in doing so she refuses to leave her room, eat any food, and shuts herself off from everything for awhile so she can continue mourning her precious Shion. Since she refused to eat, she has miraculously lost a significant amount of weight and now is thin and now considered to be a beauty. Her peers are shocked and some of them even fall for her. In particular, four boys and even a girl. These five pursue her throughout the anime and try to win her over by competing with the other four. Now for individual scoring: Story - Nothing too original, its a reverse harem with many clichés and typical things you'd see and expect in a harem with a touch of comedy. One thing in particular that I liked about this anime is that all candidates in this harem got a fair chance at winning Kae Serinuma over, including the other female. Other than that nothing too notable. The story was interesting to continue to watch and I got through it fairly easily and quickly without growing tired of watching it. Although the ending was predictable (and to be honest, slightly disappointing) the story was fairly well done. Art - Artwork is pretty well done, but somewhat generic of its type. That being said, its fine and is by no means "ugly" to look at. However, I must point out that it took me quite awhile to get used to the coloring of many characters eyes. They seem to have tried to make the characters eyes pop more with a gradient of color, but in many cases for me began to be a bit of an eyesore at first. Sound - Music was well fitting and fine, nothing bad to say about it. Characters - Character designs were good and unique. Each character had an interesting personality and I found myself liking all of them quite well. Overall, Watashi ga Motete Dousunda (Kiss Him, Not Me) was a fairly well done anime. Even though I personally do not enjoy harems, I found this one to be good and I was able to watch it with ease. In my opinion, this anime was quite enjoyable, I got a few laughs out of it, and felt it was something I felt I wanted to finish and see through to the end. Enjoy the anime if you plan on watching it, and thank you for reading!

Kiss him, not me. The name suggests the series would probably be centered around Yaoi but thankfully that is not the case. The main character (female) is a fujoshi who loves pairing "ikemen" guys being hardcore at what she does. Through a miraculous weight loss she becomes the center of attention for these guys she so loves pairing. The guys try to woo her in attempts to get her to like them back. The charm of the series lies in the fact that the female MC cannot fathom a scenario of a girl and guy dating. As I said a hardcore fujoshi she is. Despite this the series does, at one point seem like it would make a decent romance anime. However, this is ruined by the end of this season. So if you are also like me and are suckers for love stories this might be a little harsh on you at the end. All in all the anime is a good laugh. Although I would like to point out that I don't really like the voice actress behind the MC female. All the other characters are well represented and have a life of their own. Each have their own well thought out personalities which is good to see. However, it's generic in the manner that you have a klutz, a kuudere, a tsundere and others. That ends my review. I hope I eased your decision on whether or not to give it a try. If you liked my review please click that helpful button. I would also appreciate comments if you have any about my reviews and how I could improve on them. Thank you

Watashi ga Motete Dousunda is a great shoujo anime that mixes static characteristics and dynamic environments together in beautiful blend in this reverse harem romantic comedy. To start off, this anime rarely acts as a harem. It's more similar to Watamote than anything else. Kae Serinuma is plunged into several situations she's never been in such as having an romantic relationship. Everything that she's learned about relationships, is from her insane BL/fujoshi lifestyle. To say that our main character is oblivious and unrealistic is wrong, and it puts a complete twist on the harem stereotypes. She isn't looking to screw one of these guys, but instead wants to see the guys screw each other. She's a static character in a dynamic environment. That's what makes this anime great. Serinuma is set in a situation with 5 guys + 1 girl in which she doesn't know how to handle, so she puts them in ludicrous scenarios (or the guys put themselves in ludicrous scenarios) where she can keep her BL lifestyle alive. It's the perfect protagonist for the intended audience. The show makes it that every character is likable in someways. Our MC's disinterest in the others makes it so that this can spark conversation, shipping, etc for the fanbase. One episode even makes fun of that exact premise. Overall, the character interactions and humor is great. It's kinda like "One Punch Man", you either understand it or not. Not for everyone, but still a great show and I highly recommend it to anyone that understands fujoshi or BL culture.

Every week I look at this website and when I saw that Watashi ga Motete Dousunda was having an adaption... I flipped. I've already read the manga and I loved it so much so I was excited seeing an adaption to the manga, but the way it was made was strictly by the manga and I was kind of expecting a little twists from the manga, well, the end I suppose. The start of it was kind of like a regular shoujo character but it uses the idea of regular romance to create more ideas within the story. For example, the regular shoujo heroine is actually a fujoshi which ships people in her class ~which is relatable lol which means shounen-ai and shoujo-ai themes across the anime, which I think is the cool thing about the story The art was beautiful, the design was just like Junko's designs in the manga which I love the designs so the art was nice. The sound was okay. I listen to every opening and ending theme in each anime but I don't know how to react to this at all, it jsut seemed plain. The characters are loveable. The reason is, they're all funny. They all have there own purpose, and that is to go out with the protagonist. Overall, I enjoyed it very much and I would really recommend this to anyone who wants to try becoming a fujoshi.

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 her real, actual, human boy classmates with eachother, and desperately wants them to get together. Not a single redeeming quality. I honestly have no idea what the appeal is supposed to be, and what the creators were thinking when coming up with this story. It's unbelievable.

Yes, the setup is GROSS. Once you get past that though? Pretty good anime! It felt weird at times, seeing as they draw a clear line which ones were always attracted to her and which ones fell for the skinny her. Those moments are uncomfortable. Also some sipping the dumb bitch juice all over. When it comes to the rich chick and history senpai? I liked it! Even the gross guys were likeable by the end!! The story has a good pace, great art, good jokes, all the parts that make a good anime. If they had left out the plot point that she used to be fat this would have been fantastic and much more liked. I enjoyed it up through the end, so if you can ignore those few times it comes up, you'll probably like this.

speaking how frankly i am but this damn anime is my first anime i have seen i saw it when i was 11 and i wasn't understanding a thing but when yesterday i saw it again i was ridiculously happy to see it again. opening: the music was very well made and lyrics were quite impressive actually i didn't skip a single opening( i know some of you would be crazy at for that but i couldn t help myself shame on me) and when opening is over you here a slogan i bet you would like it if you are into yaoi..... (spoilers: this anime is more than just a yaoi anime) characters: lets talk about the main protagonist serinuma first i would like to ask you the single question How can you loose your weight? you may many answer to it but have you ever heard that you can loose your weight by watching last episode of your fav. anime until you havw seen this anime lets talk about genre: this was my first harem anime with yaoi plus romance used here is great the ending here may disappoint you but what can you accept more from a harem but personally i loved that any at last i would i to say sorry if i gave you any spoilers i hope it was helpfull THANK YOU

I'll be honest, the plot is decent but not amazing. The characters aren't bad, but don't change much and are very stereotypical. However, I personally loved the show and was laughing the whole time. It may not be a masterpiece, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. It's not a show to watch for character development or complex plot and philosophy. It's just a show to laugh at and enjoy, and that's perfectly fine. The site wants me to write a longer review so I'll just spam a bit, don't mind me, the rest is irrelevant. El Tratado de Versalles fue un tratado de paz que se firmó en dicha ciudad al final de la Primera Guerra Mundial por más de cincuenta países.1​ Este tratado terminó oficialmente con el estado de guerra entre la Alemania del segundo Reich y los Aliados de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Fue firmado el 28 de junio de 1919 en la Galería de los Espejos del palacio de Versalles, exactamente cinco años después del atentado de Sarajevo en el que fue asesinado el archiduque Francisco Fernando, (en alemán: Franz Ferdinand) la causa directa de la Primera Guerra Mundial. A pesar de que el armisticio fue firmado meses antes (11 de noviembre de 1918) para poner fin a las hostilidades en el campo de batalla, se necesitaron seis meses de negociaciones en la Conferencia de Paz de París para concluir el tratado de paz. El Tratado de Versalles entró en vigor el 10 de enero de 1920. De las muchas disposiciones del tratado, una de las más importantes y controvertidas estipulaba que las Potencias Centrales (Alemania y sus aliados) aceptasen toda la responsabilidad moral y material de haber causado la guerra y, bajo los términos de los artículos 231-248,2​ deberían desarmarse, realizar importantes concesiones territoriales a los vencedores y pagar exorbitantes indemnizaciones económicas a los Estados victoriosos. El Tratado de Versalles fue socavado tempranamente por acontecimientos posteriores a partir de 1922 y fue ampliamente violado en Alemania en los años treinta con la llegada al poder de Adolf Hitler. Alemania liquidó el pago de las reparaciones de guerra en 1983, pero todavía quedaba pendiente el abono de los intereses generados desde la aprobación del tratado, que ascendían a 125 millones de euros (cambio de 2010). Dichos intereses no podían ser abonados hasta que Alemania no estuviese reunificada, dándosele para ello 20 años a partir de ese momento. Por aquellos días se creía que nunca iban a ser abonados, pero, tras procederse a la reunificación del país, se fijó el 3 de octubre de 1990 como fecha de inicio de esos 20 años. Finalmente, Alemania liquidó totalmente las reparaciones de guerra el 3 de octubre de 2010. www.twitch.tv/jschlatt

This is an anime that only a fujoshi will understand, not a rookie fujoshi or an otaku who has no idea that it is a fujoshi, really everything was very good, the personality of the protagonist was very well done, they made an open fujoshi, which He expresses his emotions to the Yaoi or BL very heartily, he sails madly and more the end which he loves to death since choosing his fictional character instead of one of them really was what he loved most. Since that is a fujoshi, this is an open fujoshi and I really would have done exactly the same thing (I am fujoshi) The anime represents a reverse harem with the fujoshi theme, really everything was very good and why do characters with perfect qualities that look at the girl? no, really the superficiality of the characters represents something that happens outside, many boys judge an obese woman by eye, but when she is thinning it is another story, it is nothing from another world, besides the anime is focused on Japan, being Asia a demanding country with beauty and very discriminative. In addition to the Yaoi fanservice that there was ... it really is a 10. Only a fujoshi or old fudanshi or that is more advanced will know how to appreciate this anime, since it represents the world of fujoshis well. A rookie is not going to be understood by a common otaku, most have seen that they think he makes fun of the yaoi ... when it is none of that and in addition to some fujushis rookies who are offended. This is an open fujoshi, so we are the closed fujoshis, a closed fujoshi shows his emotions crazy mentally, he keeps them to himself. An open fujoshi is quite the opposite, let everything out with pride and madness. And please do not compare this anime with the inner anime in which it represents a FUDANSHI, honey a fudanshi and a fujoshi are not the same, we do not have the same personalities. We love the same thing but in a different way.

Pretty problematic premise but I couldn't stop watching it. Enjoyable. Not sure if I wanna watch it again though. That's a one-sentence review. I could write a whole piece on why the show is problematic, especially in terms of overweight portrayal, fetishization of gay relationships...it's a bit obnoxious in that regard. I get that it's a sect of humor that some people think is funny, but I don't find that much humor in it. Outside of those aspects, the rest of the show can be fun. Mutsumi-senpai is best boy. If she had ended up with him or Nishina then it would've been a 10/10. I can't remember that much of the show to be honest even though I just finished it moments ago. I should probably read the manga, since I'm making a good-shoujo-master list on my tumblr (shameless plug: follow shoujosoulsearching.tumblr.com) but the anime didn't give me much hope that a conclusion would be reached, so I'm not sure I have enough willpower to read it all.

Watashi Ga Motete Dousunda is a reverse harem shojou anime that also doubles as some sort of parody. It is definitely a comedic and light show with no real "heavy" elements. The show itself is not very plot heavy and relies upon its comedic value. I personally found it very entertaining. The show, due to its nature as something of a parody, does have a lot of tropes. Running off during a storm, getting into some trouble, hot springs scene, beach episode, etc. The male characters are also somewhat cliche, though the tropes were fun and served a purpose. If you're coming into this show hoping for some BL/Yaoi, there are only moments, and are much to the displeasure of the male harem hahaha! All in all, a fun little show that's worth the watch if you have time. Its cute and funny, gives me some Ouran Highschool Host Club vibes, though Ouran is definitely a more plot driven show. I'm hoping for a season two! Rooting for Mutsumi senpai!

Okay. Listen, you need to know going into this that it's meant to be cliche. Like, the whole point of the anime is to throw every yaoi and reverse harem cliche it can at you. Also, there's a lot of anime innuendos. Like "Grey Butler" and Attack on Titan cosplay. So... just know what you're getting into, okay? Alright, first of all, the art is gorgeous. It's just the type of art style I like. Pretty colors, refined character designs, and good environments. Also, this anime is funny as hell. Especially if you can relate to the type of anime viewer/fan the main character is. I think the premise of the series comes across really well; it pulled off what it wanted to. The characters, as well, were all very fun to watch together. The ensemble as a whole made the anime very entertaining. Like I said, this anime is cliche, though, so the characters are all very textbook. You got your bad boy, your tsundere, your hot jock, your mild-mannered dude, etc. etc. I do like that the story is sort of taking the piss out of excessively wild fans and a couple anime genres, but... I don't know, I was hoping that, at some point, it was going to turn into a somewhat compelling story. I've seen anime of this type that do actually become something else that can stand on its own, but this one didn't. It just didn't have much substance. I will admit that that's probably because this anime didn't adapt all of the manga, but from what I saw, the story didn't have any depth beyond the base romance plot. There wasn't any character development that let me attach to these characters. They were fun to watch, but I couldn't say, "Ah, so that's who this guy is." Obviously, I don't think this anime was meant to be all that deep. I think, as I said, it did what it set out to do and that was to create a fun, light romance story. It isn't entertaining to watch, and I got quite a few laughs out of it. If you aren't searching for a super sophisticated romance story like Ao Haru Ride or Ouran HS Host Club, but rather are looking for an easy-to-watch anime, this'll do it for you. I wouldn't come back to it, but... actually, as a game, I'd be down. So, who knows? Maybe it's better than it seems?

I ain't gonna suggest it if u're male. But this story was fun. It felt like lowered version of modern "Ouran High School Host club". I just wanted watch this series because there's a scene fat mc turns into cute bon kyuin bon girl :)). I expected lot but In fact i couldn't get why she turned into that as logical way... that was disappointing. Author could've made it better if he had more experience expect BL manga settings. Nah whatever, it'd be good dessert for fans of BL. But it was not bad for me. Story is good. But author destroyed main key point at first place. Why she turned into cute girl... if it explained with logical way it could turned this series to great one. But it just buried in the ground. Art was normal. Characters movements were normal. Background was lonely. At early episodes character's voices it didn't stick to my ears. But it stick later. Op, ed were normal but osts were better. I didn't liked mc girl. In fact this anime's main genre was romance Mutsumi could be main heroine. I liked him.(for his role) Others were fine. It wasn't bad. I had a good time. I enjoyed 240 mins. See you again at other reviews.

I binged watched this series in one sitting and here's what I have to say if you're interested in my opinion. Go! Ok, so the art is great and each of the main cast has different aspects to each of their personalities that just makes them likeable and you see pretty equal amounts of each of them so viewers certainly have enough to see with whoever they ship the main heroine with (or with any other character!) Though I do wish that Kae's best friend A-chan had more screen time considering that she is, well, the MC's best friend and all. Bit odd that we only see her in small intervals and that Kae only spends time with the "harem". Though I usually dislike the whole weight loss cliche I do like some aspects of how this one was handled (just in case any future viewers are avoiding watching for that reason) - 1 - The weight loss was completely unintentional and it doesn't affect whatsoever the way in which the MC lives her life. 2 - Before her change Kae wasn't bullied about her weight which is a trope often seen that I'm very glad was not in this. 3 - Someone is called out on the fact that they only started liking the MC after she lost the weight and is made to reflect on that. All in all this is a good comedy anime that is light-hearted and doesn't take itself too seriously, so if you're looking for a strong plot I'm afraid you're not going to find it here. I'd recommend this anime for people who like fanservice (there are pretty boys AND girls, though definitely more boys) and people who just want something easy to watch and have a bit of a laugh. Also I have a feeling that if you like visual novels (as I do) you will also probably find yourself liking this! Hope this little review helps! (Also Mutsumi-Senpai is the best - Fight Me.) (NOT A SPOILER BUT COULD BE THOUGHT OF AS ONE SO READ BELOW AT OWN RISK) HOWEVER one reason why people might not like this anime as it's why I unfortunately had to knock down the rating from and 8 to a 7 is that if you are a romance lover as I am this anime has what can be thought of as an open ending and no actual conclusion pairing.

This show was so entertaining!! I really loved it. It's a good time kind of show. I laughed out loud so many times and having the romance thrown in just made it that much better. I feel like Kae is really relatable and is just so cute. I love when the girl is actually super pretty and the guys are just as good looking. The only thing that would have made this anime better would be if they had progressed within the relationships with the boys. I was hoping for more of that. But overall I still love the guys trying to win her over. Overall it has a good mixture of romance and comedy. It's a cute show. I couldn't stop watching it. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone who is even remotely interested in it. You won't regret it.

I wasn't expecting much, but there were a few laughs here and there. Watashi ga Motete Dousunda! A reverse-harem anime, a first for me. And I must admit that it was slightly better than I was expecting it to be. For starters we have Kae, a chubby, 'fujoshi' lover who drool's over two guys dating, and a crazy otaku. But one day, one of her most precious anime guys dies and she shuts herself out from the world for a few days. Then magic happens as she realizes that she's no longer a chubby mess, yet a cute, stereotypical girl with some redeeming factors. Thus follows a band of your standard, typical guys who all find her to be wildly attractive and go out of their ways to try and win her over. As you can see, this show is littered with cliches, but that's not too bad in this case. I like a show that can entertain me enough to the point where the cliches kinda go away. And wildly enough there were quite a few moments that made me laugh. As for the sound and art, it's all very fair. Nothing too good, nothing too bad. Just what you would expect out of a show of this stature. I must admit that the voice acting was quite good though (subbed). So overall I'd say that it's worth a watch if all you are looking for is some good, wholesome entertainment with nothing more around the bones. I will only recommend this anime to someone who is a die-hard fan of harem anime, or someone who just wants to be amused.
