Well, another season of Kanojo Okarishimasu has come to an end and again the reviews are filled with how bad the show is.. how bad the characters are blah blah... but does that really matter? In the end, isn't anime something to enjoy? I have heard so much stuff about the bad characters and the story but I don't think anyone would deny that the show is fun to watch and that is all that probably should matter.
It's kinda an achievement to be honest that Kazuya makes even the stereotypical bland harem MCs look so good. He is portrayed as a total simp and loser... falls for any pretty girl... and a master of making terrible on-spot decisions. But atleast in this season, we've seen a little growth. He finally has become somewhat reliable. Tho the driving force behind this change has been his simping for Chizuru... but hey the change is nevertheless good. Also, he seems to finally have committed to Chizuru, helping her "unconditionally" tho everyone knows what drives this. Mami is still the same semi-psycho scheming bitch who just can't take an arguable L (coz it is Kazuya you know... why would you want him). But her character dynamics make the scenes involving her so thrilling.. you never know what she may be up to. Ruka has a very charming personality that makes you root for her. Whenever she comes on screen it's so cute how she is so open with her feelings for Kazuya and due to her childish jealousy always wants to one-up Chizuru... but deep down it hurts... for both her and the viewers... coz you know she'll never be the one. Sumi is the same as she was in season 1... she barely even shows up... at least she talks more now. Chizuru tbh is the most bland character in the entire cast (after Sumi) even tho she got a lot of development this season. The last episode going into the reason behind her really wanting to make it big does do leaps and bounds for her perception by the audience as the deserving main girl. But judging by the sales number of her figurines and body pillows she didn't really need it.
The story was never the strong point of this anime. But I'd argue that the characters are great. The reason why this mess of a show is so fun to watch is that these weird personalities clash and collide to make this a comical drama. The voice actors really need to be appreciated to give such life to these characters. And the Artstyle and the Music do help this show (♫ Ienai Mama de ii no ♫). And even though your brain may tell you that this doesn't make sense... this is so bad... It ends up being exactly what you want to see. You may complain all about it but you did go through 24 episodes of this. And I doubt if you hated it this much you'd want to bear through Twenty F*cking Four episodes. And if you have gone through 2 seasons and still criticise the characters then it's for sure that you are invested in them. You want to see them grow and improve. And thus Kanajo Okarishimasu has accomplished what it wanted. And that was to hook you into wasting 10 hours of your life watching it.
And so to conclude I get all the criticisms and I agree with most of them...
But I love the show.. it's terrible but that's what I love about it.. I don't need to use my brain when I watch it.. really fun to watch with nice artstyle.. good ED song... Bad but weirdly interesting characters... An absolute mess of a story.. but full-on drama.
One thing that you can't deny is that it's enjoyable. And there is no shame in admitting that
This Anime is Trash... BUT SO AM I.
