Masamune-kun no Revenge

When I first added "Masamune-kun no Revenge" to my 2015 Winter lineup, I thought it would be an okay watch--something to pass the time. After a while of procrastinating and not going through with watching it, I took it off my list, as I thought it would be another stupid romcom show that would be okay, but have no depth. Man, am I grateful I decided to add it back on! Story - 8: As the synopsis goes, "Masamune-kun no Revenge" is a tale about a rich, fat brat that fell in love with a beautiful girl when she saved him from bullies. However, once he confessed his love, she cruelly rejected him, thus nicknaming him 'Pig's Foot.' Grown up, and now a hot guy with a muscly body, Masamune vows revenge on this girl. He will make her fall in love with him and then break her heart. But will things go according to plan? The plot is pretty solid. Intriguing and tells the whole story without spoiling the anime. It's what pulled me into the show. The story stays consistent throughout the entire anime, and it doesn't change focus, which I loved a lot. It was the focal point that kept me into the anime the whole time. Here's a warning, though. Some episodes have an extra scene after the ED, others do not. So watch out for this when watching! Art - 10: The art was absolutely fantastic. The characters, the background scenes, the filters, all exceptionally clear and pristine. The art of this show made me want to draw again. It was detailed without looking gaudy or too realistic. It was still cartoonish--anime, which was easy and appealing on the eyes. The color scheme was very warm and sunny, which made me very emotionally happy while watching it. Sound - 7: The music was pretty good. Upbeat, and matched the show perfectly. The opening theme wasn't anything great in the beginning, but as I continued listening to it, I sang along. However, no one would be sad to just skip it. The ending theme was even more unmemorable, and didn't stick out too much. I found myself just skipping onto the next episode. The OSTs (Original Sound Tracks) seem very thought out, and are enjoyable to listen to within the scenes. Sometimes they almost sound very fairytale like. Always dramatic and quirky. They fit whatever scene they're placed into, and don't get very repetitive. However, it's easy to overlook their existence. Here's a link to the OST if you wanna give it a listen: https://goo.gl/sAAR6F Characters - 7: The characters are pretty good. Nothing extraordinary, but definitely a good watch. Enter Makabe Masamune: Former bullied fat kid, now reformed hottie. He appears narcissistic at points due to his insecurities. The audience can visibly see him struggle between being his real self and what he wants others to see. As the show is from his point of view, there's never a dull moment. Thankfully, he is one of those main characters that isn't bland and dull. Enter Adagaki Aki: Renowned man hater. Anything else I have to say about you, you shouldn't hear until you watch the film. BUT! People, you can relax because she is not a stereotypical annoying tsundere. That is not all her character consists of, THANK GOD. The other characters shall remain a mystery, but they're good~ This anime has a whole range of interesting and unique characters. Some tropes, others not, but they're played off well. Near the end of the series, a character is thrown in, and some developments are undergone that kind of shake up the show a little to where I had to take off a point, but it only affects the critical analysis of the anime. Enjoyment - 9: I had a kick out of this show! There were so many times where I was fangirling, laughing, and just having a blast. The comedy never stops, but it never gets overwhelming either. It filled me with such emotions of happiness, that I just couldn't get enough. If you want a light watch between your more serious series, I suggest this one. Or if that's all you're looking for is a short, no commitment, funny series, come watch this one! Overall - 8: The breakdown is really an 8.2 if you wanna get technical, but MAL only lets you round up or down. This anime deserves an 8 because it is very good, and does a magnificent job of not going off topic like others shows with such a limited episode count. Very good watch~ Soooo check it out! And if you have any further questions on this review, you know where the message button is c:

about Masamune-kun No. Revenge 1) Story: 7 The story is far from my expectations. Well, maybe this last episode makes an unfavorable impression. very annoying. Of course, I also experienced the same thing. But in my opinion, it's just a trick that Masamune-kun no revenge is awaited by the audience. Overall, I do not really know about genree like harem in detail. but I think, it's been good and not overdone. 2) Sounds and Character: 7 For the use of sound and character is good enough. Many people say that the main character was boring, too panicked. But I think the author is already set it pretty well. 3) Enjoyment: 8 I especially enjoyed the anime and even I'm still curious about the continuation of the first season Overall: 7-7.5 This anime gives the good enough impression. The storyline is difficult to guess, make us all wonder would it goes. In each character Also has different characteristics increase the uniqueness of this anime. But, in my opinion. there is little that needs to be improved. The appearance of the characters that Appear Suddenly like Neko and lack of comedy in the anime. So, I Gave a rating of 7 for this anime (PS: This is my first review, It's just my opinion and please don't get mad)

Masamune-kun No Revenge, nice title, but, very disappointing, when you have something like this where it can be called as a Chicken running around with it's head cut-off, right now, I feel like going to Japan, hunt down the staffs who thought about making this into an anime and give each and one of them a whack on their heads , so before I get even pissed, here are my fucking ratings for this anime: Pathetic 1. Story Storywise, it was good on the first few episode before the arrival of Neko, but things turned messy upon her arrival, let's not forget that the story plot relies upon Masamune getting even with Aki, but what we see next , was his foolishness of not pushing through with it and often stopping midway despite of the opportunities , situations and even with Yoshino's help, that alone was a 360 degree turn around was a turn off for me. Good 7. Art Ok, so there isn't much about the art, but what makes me give it a 7 was for Yoshino and Midori's panchira, ya know it's kinda disappointing, that Yoshino is the only one who has the most panchira here, I mean, no Tae, Aki, Mari, kiba and Kaneko panchira moment? Also, there is Shuri Kojuro, he....or she is a mystery in fact I'm thinking that he is a she, but that's on the next category. Very Good 8. Sound The score is for the closing theme "Elemental World" which pretty much fits in for this anime's ending. Poor 3. Characters My pet peeves about the characters: Adagaki, Aki, a typical primadonna tsundere, who belong to the upper echelons not only in society but in her school as well, not the kind who wants to show her weakness, and not the kind who openly admits it, then again she is a character that one would like to hate. Koiwai, Yoshino, Aki's loyal servant whose personality has a two face in it, one point she is this yes ojosama to Aki, and the other is the "You Bitch" ojosama where she helps out Masamune to get even, you know she should just put some snot and boogers in Aki's food and just kick Masamune's ass outta her life, since he's useless anyways. Tae Futaba, ok she likes Masamune, but she isn't the kind who should be going for that guy instead she should be smacking him on the face for taking over Gasou place during the festival, now c'mon what Masamune did is a stabbed on the back for his own class. Shuri Kojuro, I fully believe he is a she, though we would never know that in this anime , it's highly certain that in later chapters of the manga all will be reveled, I would never understand as to what's going on the mind of original creator, Takeoka, Hazuki for making him or her like that. Fujinomiya, Neko, to me I see her as Masamune's lost chance and missed opportunity, she could have serve as the guy's tool for getting even with Aki, man, I really like her for Masamune. Gasou, Kanetsugu, well he's a nobody here in the anime, so fuck him. Mari, Kikune, and Kaneko, are nothing more that just Aki's lesbian lackeys, whom Masamune should have given each of them a bitch slap. And the main disappointment Masamune Makabe, he is the epitome of stupidy, disorganization, vanity and too much bush beating that he never was able to implement what he want's to do, and thus makes him totally annoying. Poor 3. Enjoyment It may be nice to watch, but as one watches, one would be filled with annoyance for the character, Masamune, as we wish that he get's even, frankly from episode 1 to 11 would be watchable, but when one get's to episode 12, that there is 360 degree turn around, where one would be filled with disappointment for seeing Masamune as this Pussy who is all talk and no action. Poor 3 Overall This totally SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't even think about having a season 2, BITCH! OUT!!!!!!!

Hey folks, this will be a review for Masamune-kun no Revenge. This show was better than expected. I think that's a proper way of summarizing it. If you had read the summary of the show then more than likely you can imagine exactly how the show goes. I guessed most of it fairly accurately, however it was more entertaining than I expected. The story itself isn't a terrible one. A once fat kid attempts to get revenge on a girl who once rejected him because of his fat. How he attempts to get revenge is by becoming hot and then dating her then dumping her. The show actually flows pretty well with that goal and only gets slightly derailed for what seems like interesting back story. However as anyone with a brain could guess the ending probably will not include revenge. Though I say that I'm not certain as this season ended on a fairly weighty cliff hanger. My problem with the story of this show is actually how quickly they throw it at you. They do a good job making you feel informed about the situation, however this show would probably be really good if they took it a bit more slowly and gave it a two or three seasons to develop. The art was awesome and the soundtrack was equally as good. The characters were pretty typical. Snobby tsundere main girl, strange powerful and detached maid, and fragile rich girl. The only plus side to these tropes is how they were handled. The fragile rich girl doesn't play out like you would expect, and the main character is really fun. I enjoyed the characters as much any other show, however like I mentioned above the way the show paced itself made the characters pointless. Overall this show was really fun to watch, and I look forward to season 2. There are a few odd twists and things here and there but overall its a fun rom com. It could have been better if they took time to introduce and get us attached to the characters. The comedy is pretty good, the main story line is fun and easy to follow. They do add in twists and roadblocks, but it doesn't detract from the show in any real way. Overall I would recommend this show to anyone who likes rom com shows, just be warned its not the best. TLDR: Not bad, better than you might think. Poor character development, and a cliff hanger ending. Rom com fans will probably enjoy it.

Warning: There are some spoilers in here. I tried to limit them but I feel like the quality of the show is best represented with this information being given out. Masamune-kun was the first show that I started this season. It was something my friend suggested and who knows it had the chance to be interesting so I started it. Luckily because I did so I decided to see what else was airing. In that process I found a lot of other shows that sounded good. So I started them! So thanks to Masamune-kun I was able to find a lot of good anime and watch it during the season. And that is the last good thing I have to say about this horrible trainwreck of a show. This show was always going to depend on how well they handled the premise. From the very first episode this show reminded me of another show. Take one guess what it is. It's Nisekoi. Of course it's Nisekoi. Now for me then this was a cautionary tale. Why? Because I fucking loathe Nisekoi. There was hope that this show could be good, that it could use its premise and be able to execute it well giving an emotional and interesting rom-com that takes on revenge, and what happens when someone tries to get it but must contend with their feelings. But there was also fear. Fear that it'd end up like Nisekoi. A show that despite an interesting premise decided to screw it up through the usage of filler, unlikeable characters, and just general bad writing BS. Sadly it basically went straight into my worst fears. Almost every part about Masamune-kun is just a worst version of Nisekoi. The play finale? Copied from Nisekoi. Sickly girl who shows up in the middle of the series to add tension to the relationship? Copied from Nisekoi. Annoying side-characters who fight the MC because he's not good enough for the main girl? Copied from Nisekoi. Main Female Character who is a cold tsundere? Copied from Nisekoi. Shitty Writing? Copied from Nisekoi. It's almost as if this show was trying so hard to be Nisekoi instead of trying to be itself. Copying a show is bad enough, but copying a miserable mistake for a show like Nisekoi? WHAT COULD GO WRONG! To be fair Masamune-kun did write Neko better than Nisekoi did Marika, and Aki is nowhere near as bad as Chitoge, but still it copies the same exact problems as Nisekoi. These weren't good ideas to begin with. And then there's fake Masamune-kun.. Due to the length of the show his addition was pointless from the start. Why add on a character just to have him as a rival for 3 episode, it's pointless. Furthermore, he's not exactly a good rival. The only reason why he does well is because Aki thinks that he is Masamune. Which reminds me of the convoluted plot behind all of this. Which happened to NOT BE REVEALED. If you're going to have some important plot point like that at least do the service of actually telling the audience once it's over. Because it's pretty dang important to how the series works and why the characters act like they do. The fact that they left that as a gaping black hole is criminally bad writing. Luckily I can tell you this, the idea is stupid. It only helps make the show a more convoluted mess. Not that it needed any help in that. Have I mentioned Aki's friends yet? I absolutely loathe characters who act like moral guardians for others. They aren't in charge of Aki and they have to deal with that. Seeing them get enduced into rage because Aki dare might be with a man is infuriating. Even worse it adds nothing to the show. So it's just there, making me this much more pissed at this crap while adding absolutely nothing to the show. They're overall a small part of the show since they only matter in the last 3 episodes and even at that they barely matter but they're that detrimental to my enjoyment that I have to point them out. The worst part of this isn't the characters themselves. It's that none of this needed to happen. Neko and Fake Masamune are unnecessary bloatware. They are solutions in need of a problem. They're supposed to serve as reasons for Masamune to strive to go forward and to block his path. To give him challenges. But he never needed any challenge. In fact the challenge itself should have been dealing with his feelings while also dealing with revenge. IT's clear the author wanted Masamune to like Aki and for him to end up with Aki. And that is fine. That works. But the problem is the whole series is set up with this craving for revenge in the background, but it never happens. The issues were all right there from the start. Aki has to deal with her feelings but also deal with her hurt feelings from prior. Masamune would have to deal with his revenge but also his growing love. The opportunity to make a great romcom was sitting right there, lying in the premise. They could have both hurt each other find out that they really did love each other and then try to grow from the misdeeds that they did in the past. That would be been amazing. But sadly we didn't get anything like that. We didn't get any revenge, or any closure, or even anything resembling a cohesive story. Instead, the revenge got delayed farther and farther while time got wasted on Neko and Fake Masamune. And we didn't even get a complete ending or even something resembling an ending in the end. ... I was always afraid of this show becoming Nisekoi II. I thought that Aki with her Chitoge like traits would become the new show ruiner for me, but surprisingly Aki was fine. I still dislike her but it's not her fault for ruining this show. Instead, it's the author's' for adding in all these terrible ideas stolen from a terrible show. I never thought this show would be just as bad as Nisekoi, no matter how much I feared it. But it was. 2/10 (At least Kojuurou was cute.)

first of all , this show in my opinion is not worth watching and there are better animes out there that you can watch and enjoy more but well about masamune kuns revenge ... there was a boy and girl who admired each other but cause of selfishness of some sorts the girl rejects the boy and some years later he comes back for revenge by breaking her heart . thats all there is to this show , tbh it could be a lot more than what it was . it had potential but gets ruined in the second half , till episode 4-5 the show was quite good and funny with interesting concepts but as the show goes on esp. after episode 8 it is a total waste of time and deserves a score of 3 or 4 and well the story doesnt finish which i hate a lot if you are airing sth then you should at least give it an end of sorts even if it isnt over . for instance take Toradora , although it doesnt end and has a lot left which is continued in the manga , they did give it a satisfying semi ending . other than the story most of the stuff about it were pretty decent , first there is the sounding which was done pretty good the opening and ending theme songs were intense and satisfying the visuals were although a bit lacking considering a 2017 release but still more than ok and character voices were also made decent nothing special but decent . if given the chance 3 months ago to watch this anime or leave i would surely be on the latters side .

No spoilers in this review, pls send feedback if you have any. Masamune-kun's Revenge is about one fat boy's dream to make his childhood crush, who rejected his feelings, fall in love with him so he can shut her down faster than you can say "What the fuck am I watching?" So what does he do to make his dream a reality? He works out, eats healthy, reads a shit tonne of romance manga. After years of "training", he becomes the narcissistic sex machine that we know as Masamune Makabe. (Note: no one in this anime has or will have sex throughout the show. Don't get your hopes up ecchi fans) But what has become of the childhood crush? Aki Adagaki has made herself an infamous name at her high school. Dubbed "The Cruel Princess", (or as I like to call her "Mega Bitch") she has had many men follow after Masamune's footsteps, hoping to score a date with the beautiful Adagaki. Instead of accepting any of them, she rejects each and everyone one by giving them all a cruel nickname, ruining their fragile reputation. And that's the show. An interesting premise and two interesting main characters. So where did this all go so wrong? Let's start with the title of the show. When someone's love confession gets rejected, they usually give up. Maybe they'll try again, but if it proves futile then they will give up eventually. Not Masamune. How dare a girl say she doesn't like him. Sure, she could have said it in a nicer way, but a rejection is a rejection. Instead of letting it go like a certain snow queen, he dedicates his life to his revenge. And for what? If he manages to pull it off, the only person really getting hurt is him. His hard earned reputation as the popular ladykiller crumbles as his classmates will only see him as the new school heartbreaker. Adagaki would, in fact, benefit from this revenge, as it would most probably snap her out of her #HateAllMen phase and allow her to actually get herself a good boyfriend. The consequences are so one sided that you wonder if Masamune accidentally lost more than just his belly fat. The rest of the show is so cliche and predictable, you could remove the revenge theme and turn it into your every day generic harem anime. There is no surprise, no suspense to actually keep you interested. Almost every plot twist does absolutely nothing to change how the anime is progressing. We get a new character, they try and mess up Masamune-kun's Revenge, they fail and become dust in the wind, never to be relevant again. So, how can I describe the main character? Well, he's an idiot. Masamune's only way of getting Adagaki to swoon is to repeat what he has seen done in manga. A cliche pick up line and a wall slam is what he believes are appropriate ways of getting women to fall for him. And when a girl actually does like him and tries to ask him out, he rejects them. Why? Cause he's already in a commitment with his revenge. Fuck meaningful relationships and a normal high school life, he'd rather try and break one girl's heart then spend the rest of his life happy with virtually anyone else in the freaking school. Adagaki ain't any better. I cannot for the life of me figure out why such an obvious asshole is so popular and has so many people continuously try asking her out. After the first few guys, you would think the school would take a hint and avoid her, but instead, they put her on a high horse and make her the centre of the universe. None of the other characters have anything to offer to the show. Shallow and stereotypical, they rely on overreactions to fool viewers into thinking that they have a decent personality. Even the character development is teased at best. All the focus is on the narcissist and the bitch, (even though they stay virtually the same throughout the whole series) every other character could be thrown away and replaced and no one would care. Sometimes you see a glimpse of something more than just a background character, but it never gets expanded on and ends up forgotten. The only thing I enjoyed from this dreadful experience is the comedy. I'm a sucker for overreactions, and it's the only thing keeping it from being a 1. Instead of the comedy being a plus, it becomes the single thread that this show hangs on, desperately trying to convince you that it has more to offer, even though it never delivers. What started off as a great first episode filled with potential, crashed and burned harder than Masamune whenever he hears the name "Pig's foot". Watch it if you are a masochist, avoid if you have good taste.

TL;DR: A very good romance anime, highly recommended. This anime is qualified as a 'harem' on myanimelist. Please do not be mislead as this is in fact nothing of the sort. Masamune-kun no revenge is a romantic comedy at best, and even then has the decency to take it's 'Romcom' moments somewhat seriously, where these moments actually have an impact on progression, and it isn't just dropped like in other anime. The 'harem' in actuality consists of only two girls [SPOILER] one of which even removes herself from the love triangle in the end, leaving the romance we all want. [END SPOILER] By taking this approach, with it's unique plot of revenge for his mistreatment, Masamune-kun's revenge definitely strikes as something out of the ordinary for School Life anime. There is actual romance, good progression in terms of story elements, setting itself up as a very good romance anime from the mediocre harem that I was expecting before I watched it. A lot of people seemed ticked off by the ending of this show, but it is to keep in mind that is anime is almost identical to it's manga and as such has teased a second season already, with the next plot in mind. Overall, I had a lot of fun watching this, and is in the end a lighthearted anime that has a pretty good spin on romance for what it is.

Masamune's Revenge could have been great. It's just... filled with so much "filler". It can't seem to stick to it's story. Story: The concept is actually really good in my opinion. A mysterious past about getting rejected, and coming back to take "revenge"? And then it is hinted that it was all a misunderstanding? The romance is MUCH different from shows like Nisekoi. The romance is meant to be forced, and that isn't what you really watch it for. This guy doesn't love Adagaki Aki, so the romance is meant to feel off. The mystery element is a huge part of why I liked this anime. It is not clear what happened in the past, and new characters are introduced from the past. The small, vague flashbacks are the best parts of the anime in my opinion. Art: 4/10 The art... was not good. I mean, the art style itself wasn't too bad, but the animation was rather subpar. Now, is that bad? No. It's a story/character driven anime, not an action anme like Fate/Zero. If you want good animation in a romance, I would recommend Oreshura. However, it is not needed here. The animation is okay, and does not positively or negatively affect my viewing experience. Music: 6/10 I liked the opening. Many say its rather "cliche", but I found it fine. A lot of anime have this type of 'energetic girl singing" thing, and for good reason. It has been proven to sound good. 7/10 (Also, some say the opening has a lot of spoilers, but as someone who has never read the manga, all of the images are taken out of context, so in reality its not really spoiling anything.) The ending was... okay? It wasn't particularly good or bad. Okay music, okay animation etc. 5/10. The OST was also subpar. Not something I would listen to on my own, but didn't destroy the mood or anything. 6/10 Characters: Every character had some sort of mystery behind them, which was really interesting in my opinion. I found all of the characters very likable, and only one or two characters were particularly irritating. Enjoyment: 9/10 I actually enjoyed the shit out of this anime. However, some of it is nostalgia and the parellels between this anime and SNAFU were real. I really liked SNAFU, and one of the elements that it included was the "mysterious past" that dragged me in. However, this was a personal taste kind of thing, so although I really enjoyed this anime, I gave it a lower score. So, without spoilers... the ending was shit. No way around it. It's a manga, so it continues further.

Masamune-kun no Revenge started with a not quite tired yet premise: a fat guy got rejected by a hot chick so he decided to become a hot guy, seduce the hot chick then dump her. Of course the premise is simply to hook you in. It’s the execution that keeps you in. And maybe this time it’ll be a better and more nuanced take. Maybe this time the guy will be so tunnel-visioned into his revenge it reaches unhealthy levels and he ends up offing his social interactions and a real chance at happiness and love. Maybe this time… oh wait no. They’re making a harem-comedy and our dumbass MC has a 99.9% chance of ending with one of the least interesting female leads to ever grace the rom-com genre. I mean the title blatantly say “Masamune-kun no Revenge”. (Get it? Because it says no revenge. Eh? Eh…? I have no friends.) To the shows credit, it dashes your hopes early on so you don’t have high expectations. Let’s start with the characters, which I believe are the show’s gravest and greatest weakness. We have the MC who went out of his way to make it flat-out impossible for us to like him, a flat tsundere (and I’m not talking about cup size), a quiet girl that you have a sneaking suspicion is the root of the problem, a tomboyish probably-meant-to-be-a-genki girl that got sidelined so fast before she could even utter “It’s not like I like you or anything ba--baka!”, best gril Kojuurou, an obese monkey wrench, and Stage 4 Plot-itis. The characters are of so little note and lack even the most basic character development that much of the show’s drama relies on external circumstances to wreck havoc. There’s nothing that makes you root for any of them. You have no investment in any of their actions because you know squat diddly what’s in it for them and how it will change them. Even the eponymous revenge you’ll eventually find hard to care because there’s no sense of stake on how it affects the MC or the female lead, other than well putting the female lead, a right bitch, in her place. That’s it for most of the show’s runtime. You get a glimpse who Aki is so late into the story that it doesn’t even matter anymore because by then you’d like nothing more than to make sweet love to her lovely empty head with the business end of a pike. Stage 4 Plot-itis is probably the most likable character, to the point where you’re left wondering what’s a girl like her doing in a show like this. She’s also the most pointless one introduced. Yes, even more than obese monkey wrench. The purpose of Stage 4 Plot-itis is that she represents a way out for the MC -this sweet, soft-spoken, pretty girl who’s going out of her way to make her intentions known and all he has to do is give up on his revenge. But the way she was introduced and the cagey defense of the MC about the circumstances of their encounter only adds unnecessary friction and drama. It feels like the author was just throwing obstacles after obstacles to the main pairing and the characters involved are handed the temporary idiot ball to deliberately make the obstacle worse. And if they actually developed Futaba to be Aki’s competition, Stage 4 Plot-itis could be safely written out and the show could proceed with its drama, but this time coming from the characters themselves as their motivations, dreams, hopes, and feelings collide. The setting and the story aren’t even noteworthy so the show has to rely on their characters to carry the series. Which they failed. They’re not the first and they will not be the last in a genre so rife with the same failures repeated over and over that you’re left wondering if it’s pretty much tradition at this point. But let’s be real, the reason why we’re watching this is to participate in our favorite annual event: Best Gril 2017. If that’s the case, don’t waste your time. This one’s a no go. Neko trumps Aki, no contest.

Masamune-kun no Revenge is a must-see romantic comedy anime that skillfully blends humor and romance while introducing a unique twist with its theme of revenge. The story follows Masamune Makabe's quest for transformation and retribution, offering an engaging exploration of character growth and complex emotions. With its witty storytelling and well-developed characters, the series keeps viewers entertained from start to finish. It's not just about laughs; it delves into the depths of human emotions, making you connect with and root for the characters. This exceptional blend of comedy and romance is a refreshing addition to the anime world, guaranteeing an enjoyable watch.

Simply Underrated, can't understand why people hate it so much. I don't understand how people can get mad/hate on this anime, well yeah i mean, everyone has their own opinion but the thing that i can't understand is that the fact that they only like to judge based on their opinions about the anime plot being shit and the thing is, they don't even want to enjoy this anime. This could be very enjoyable for those who wanted to like it, for those who are like "oh yeah this is shit, i'm going to watch it anyway." like why the fuck would you even spend your time watching something you don't like. Back to the anime... This anime's plot is really easy to follow. A guy who wants to revenge for his rejection. By knowing that, this is where the plot actually became complex because of many unexpected moments, such as another girl that likes Masamune too that actually has a connection from the past, and a boy that has a connection too for Aki Adagaki... e.t.c. The sound is great, good music, and a great job of voice acting. Art and visuals are fine, it's good but it's not surprising either. This is great to watch, it made me laugh audibly, and the plot twists are insane. Totally enjoyable.

This anime is cringe, I didn't like it. The beginning was entertaining and sometimes it was good, but there are a lot of things that don't make any sense. Let's not talk about the ending, which makes no sense at all, who ends an anime with a karaoke episode? I don't understand why some characters do something or the other thing, they change personality according to what the plot needs them to do. I find some traits of this anime toxic, but the anime makes you think that they're perfectly fine (not valuing others' feelings, being treated like a slave, the man is always the one after the woman, etc). I don't see the point on making such a big drama over Neko, she wasn't gonna die, was it necessary so much drama and flashbacks for something that had no importance in the story? And what illness can be cured just in a month after doing one surgery? Seems unrealistic. And I don't understand why the cold princess fell in love with the fake Masamune, I thought she wanted all boys to get out of her life because they never come to save her. I don't see how, between rich families, they didn't realize that the fake Masamune's family went bankrupt and that he's only there for money. Too many things don't make any sense.

I don't know why something so crappy exists in the first place. In my opinion, the anime could have had a good ending, but it's not nice that they ended so badly to make season 2. Spoilers!!! At first, Masamune was going to very calmly take revenge by making Adagaki fall in love with him and rejecting her, which was different, and I thought it was worth watching. But then gradually I started to like Adagaki and I said I hope they change the plan and they get together. Then someone named Neko came along. At first I didn't like the girl because I thought she'd be among Masamune and Adagaki, but it didn't happen. I was very surprised after I learned that the girl was sick. I wouldn't be lying if I said I fell in love with the girl, she definitely deserved to be with Masamune. THEN A FAT BOY CAME AND INTRODUCED HIMSELF AS MASAMUNE AND ADAGAKI FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM. Where did you see such logic, what brainless person wrote such a script, why did he write it, I don't understand, it's not funny. Adagaki started ignoring Masamune (mc). This incident probably made everyone angry, because it was pretty annoying when a fat boy(i'm not discriminating idc if you're fat it's your opinion) came and talked to Adagaki while she was thinking about Masamune(mc). I know I've extended it a lot, but it's a little short for an anime that is this crap. I still don't understand, I still think, why did they make such a crappy ending to an anime that was going to be great. Sorry for those who love this anime, but fuck your taste. I don't want to say much before the 2nd season comes, but let's call it a hassle. I couldn't sleep because I finished the anime at night, I'm writing this comment at school anyway. Don't watch this anime if you're smart. This anime does not deserve more than 2 points. Take care of yourself, I hope you are in good mental health.

[SPOILERS] This anime is about a boy that seeks revenge for a girl that used to call him a "pig" and you probably think "wow this is so generic" because it is more than generic, It's worse than that. It doesn't even stick to the fact that it's a "revenge" anime, it's just really cringey anime troupes formed in one. Story: 2/10 No one really takes this plot seriously because it's so cliche, nothing really happens except the protagonist "teasing" the girl into falling in love with him and then rejecting her to feel cool because it's a "revenge". Characters: 1/10 Everyone in this anime is pathetic, awful, a drooling retard, annoying, and dreadful. No anyone of them actually has a real personality and they feel like dolls. The protagonist is a narcissistic who does nothing interesting as being a romcom protagonist (not that surprising) but he's just really annoying. The main girl aki is also the generic silly "queen" type of girl that you need to work hard to get, instead she doesn't even know how to fall in love, and also.. she likes eating and 50% of her screentime is her just eating food haha how funny. The main antagonist is the worst one here, the most irritating fat kid that looks like that kid at a birthdays party that has a very punchable face. And neko, just a plot device to make you feel sad that she has a disease. Art: 5/10 Nothing really serious, silver link did a pretty mediocre job on this. Sound: 5/10 Also just nothing really good and bad, forgettable soundtrach, it's romcom afterall. Ending: 0.0000001/10 WHAT WAS THE POINT AFTER ALL THAT? It's just like that? that's it? What happened? Oh wait.. this anime really never did this "revenge" thing it's justice, pretty, can't believe how immature the characters got again in the bench scene. I hope they never do a season 2 of this. Enjoyment: 1/10 This anime is just really boring, not recommend, 0 rewatch value, burn this piece of trash, don't do anime like this again, poorly executed, don't watch it.

Words alone cannot express how annoyed I am at this anime. This is probably gonna have spoilers the whole way through so tune out. #1 It drew me in because it sounded interesting and I thought I had a general idea of several ways it could end. It did not end any of these ways. B: What the fuck #3 I would have been fine if it ended without his revenge(seemed likely), and even if they didn't end up together. What I was not fine with is that his freaking identity is like stolen and that doesn't even get resolved. Seriously what the fuck. I am in no way a good critic when it comes to anime, I usually rate stuff pretty high as long as I enjoy it. This anime really manages to piss me off. I stayed up to 5:30 because I was waiting for everything to get resolved, it doesn't. WHY. Why does this even exist. It achieved nothing, I feel like the people that made this were just trying to waste my time. I can't even go to sleep now because I feel like this anime has ruined my world view, everything is meaningless, it doesn't matter what you do, because you probably just wasted a few hours of your life and now I'm gonna have to stay up at least another 4 hours to watching something else that hopefully wont leave me utterly disappointed.

**TO ANYONE WANTING TO WATCH PLEASE READ THIS*** **NO SPOILERS ** You may be wondering why I gave this pretty high scores for all categories but a 4 overall? Well that's because the show starts off amazing has a fun premise and looks to be fun. As it moves on the characters are shown to be deeper than we thought, some really good storytelling is made and it turns the show into more than a silly revenge rom com. Here's where it gets bad, after it started getting so good the show takes a COMPLETE 180 and ruins everything they've built up to that point (This happens in the manga as well which is 20 chapters ahead of the final episode as of righting this and it's still an absolute shithole and mess) I can only count on one hand the amount of times a show has left me with such a sour taste in my mouth after finishing it (So much so that i'm writing my first review because it's pissed me off so much) TL;DR Show goes from amazing to a shitfest in the last few episodes, and don't bother reading the manga as the shitfest just keeps on going..

This is more of venting my frustration on this anime rather than a review..... I find the anime to be great in fact could be a masterpiece until episodes 10-12, wherein enter the fat kid Gasou who pretended to be Masamune to get close to Aki. So what irritates me that cause this great anime to crash is that until episode 9 is very climatic and enjoyable then the next episodes are crap wherein the identity of this impostor is not revealed and the story goes on. Well I just found out Gasou's true identity in MAL. I am used to watching anime's that has no ending meaning there are question that are still in need to be answered but those anime ends in a way that doesn't make me this frustrated. Well apparently in this Anime there is a character I like, Neko Fujinomiya - BEST GIRL in this anime

Meh... Meh 1,000 times. The artwork was above average but the rest of the anime is just plain meh. I'm not sure where "revenge" comes into the story at all. After 12 full episodes the main character is basically where he started. No plot progression, bad side story lines, a story line that just DRAGS the life out of you and leaves you feeling agitated. I'm giving it a 5 due to art and sound but remove them and it's a 4. I save my 3's or less for anime I can't finish watching and I was able to finish watching this one... barely. That's all the review that this anime deserves.

Preface: I think if you are going to watch this anime you should try to rely on your own unbiased judgement when it comes to your personal connection/how much you resonate with the characters. As well, how much you enjoyed/will enjoy this anime shouldn't be dependent on something someone else has to say about it. I will try my best to keep you open-minded about this anime, while I also won't shy away from what it does poorly. ANY SPOILERS WILL BE KEPT TO THE END OF THE REVIEW IF ANY. Let's start with getting the most objective parts of the anime out of the way. ART AND SOUND. When it comes down to the art style, I don't think you will be disappointed or turned away, and I also don't think it will blow your mind. It has the same art style most other shows like it made after 2013 use. They use the classic chibi expressions on funny lighthearted parts, the dramatic camera angles and blushing of the cheeks on dramatic parts, and everything in-between that you would expect. Nothing groundbreaking here, there were a few parts that I noticed looked slightly more professional than normal, typically in the most climatic scenes, which is still normal for most other shows like it. As for the sound, it doesn't sound like the characters are too far away or have bad quality audio, and it also doesn't sound way too close and crystal clear, which is something you will normally find more of in anime movies or very serious high production value shows. When factoring in music, it's also nothing that I would write home about. The show has good background music that fit the tones they were trying to capture perfectly, and that's about all there is to say about it. I didn't personally find the intro music to be that thrilling, but maybe you will appreciate it more than I did. It all comes down to personal opinion. CHARACTERS. I personally really enjoyed most of the characters in this show. The personalities may annoy you at times as they did me, but I think that is exactly what the writers were trying to portray and they did a great job at it. When you're screaming at your computer screen yelling at the main character for being such a narcissist yet not being able to get a single girl's phone number, you know that, good or bad, they made you feel some sort of emotion, which is what I strive to get out of watching anime. Although I will admit, sometimes during this show they go a little too far, and you can't help but feel that occasionally the characters aren't real, just classic tropes you see in every other rom-com anime of it's kind. However, I stand by my feeling that the characters personalities bring a fun twist to a typical anime of it's kind, as most would make the main character a classic Joe, with no real "out there" traits, at least certainly not to the extent of Masamune-kun. That is as far into the characters as I will go to not spoil anything else. STORY. (I WILL TRY MY BEST TO AVOID SPOILERS BUT BE WARNED). The story of this show starts off really really well. Like, with the potential of it becoming one of my top rom-com anime of all time. However, about halfway through the show they start throwing in very very strange plot twists for reasons that can't really be explained by the viewer, or even the writers. With random characters showing up and the attitudes and entire purpose of the show seeming to change in the blink of an eye, with no better explanation than, "It's just chance is all hehe". This is still bearable throughout most of the show though, and these out-of-the-blue characters ended up making the anime even more enjoyable than it already was for me, with a little better tie-in's I think they would have nailed it perfectly. That is until almost the end of the show. I won't put spoilers here, but I feel the need to help mankind for the better and let you know that if you don't like complete out-of-the-blue plot twists right when you think the show is coming to it's ultimate badass and heart-throbbing climax- you might not want to bother watching this show. I'm not stressing this when I say it is BAD. It is the reason I gave the story of this show a 5 instead of a 9. The ending truly ruined a lot for me. I don't regret watching it by any means, but if you're one of those people that think if the ending isn't good then it's a waste of time to watch it, then spare yourself the 4 hours. In conclusion, what could have been a great show with refreshing characters and a great plot setup, was just a good show, due to the non-existent tie-in's and poorly executed plot twists. However, that's just my personal opinion. Maybe you'll love it, in the end only you can decide.
