So this is one yap that I never really thought that I'd make. It's for RaG and man I really did not expect to enjoy the first two seasons as much as I have. It has truly exceeded my expectations. I went in expecting to hate basically everyone and shit on the show, but dang man, it actually has great characters and the production quality of the show is phenomenal. The voice acting is brilliant. I think going into RaG with the expectations of it being another romcom are just wrong and you will be disappointed if that is what you are looking for. But if u go in with the expectations of just a fun and amazing time with an amazing cast of characters, you will love the show.
Talking about the characters, I'm going to start with one of my favs Mami. Holy shit, she's so good. Such a great villain. The amount of shit she stirs is a joy to witness and I wish she had more screentime in S2 as well. She's the classic jealous ex gf but she plays that role so well. One of my most hated characters is fucking Ruka. She's just annoying, clingy, and just all around a pain in the ass. She's that one "friend" that when u see, you just audibly sigh because she is just exhausting to be with and will make everything about her. My ranking for all the girls goes like Chizuru, then Sumi, then Mami, and then Ruka.
Speaking of Chizuru and Sumi, man these two are definitely the best ones in the show. Sumi is just so pure, adorable, cute, lovable, huggable, and precious. She oozes "must protecc" vibes. She's also incredibly shy which made her moment in S2 all that special and amazing when she vows to be Kazuya's wall. That entire episode is great. Having a full date with Sumi and then that heartwarming moment at the end is brilliant. Sumi is the kind of character that, like, you dont even want to see get together with Kazuya, since she deserves better. It's also so heartwarming to see her try so hard and clearly care so much for Kazuya and Chizuru. Her trying to get over her shy nature with Kazuya and Chizuru's help is great. She's the most sane and "normal" person out of the entire cast, and I love her SO MUCH.
Then we have Chizuru. She's what the main love interest, but she's also a rental gf so things are complicated. But honestly, seeing her backstory, u cant help but just wanna cheer her on and hope for the best, given how much she does and has sacrificed for her acting career. She's also pretty hawt same as Mami, but while Mami has the vibe of the ex gf, and the kinda girl u have a one-night stand with. Chizuru is more beautiful, and hot in like a grownup way she's also not as devious, and bitter as Mami but hey those are the things that make Mami great so I'm not complaining heh. Chizuru's character is also really well done so far showing how she's slowly developing feelings for him, but she tries to push those away since her career comes first I really like that.
Overall, I really didnt expect this show to be as good as it was. The visuals and especially the damn character designs, whoever designed those characters is a genius. They look so freaking good. Even Ruka has a good design and I despise her. But yeah, the show isnt a masterpiece or anything, but it is way better than what I was led to believe initially when I watched S1 ages ago. I'm glad I gave it another shot because man it was so much fun. Loved it.
