This is my opinion so please don't hate. Also there are spoilers in this so don't read this if you haven't watched the anime. I honestly tried my best to like this anime but, there were just too many things that I didn't like about it. At first, the concept of the anime is unique and intriguing but, when I actually started watching it there were too many things that bothered. First of all, things happen way too conveniently and make zero sense. For example, when Mizuhara and Kazuya just happen to go on trips to the same beach at the same time. Like what are the chances of something like this happening. It's not like there's only one beach that's open at one time. It's just way too convenient. Also in the last episode when Mami and Mizuhara just happen to go on a date to the same karaoke place that Kazuya works at. Also, it coincidentally happened at a time when he and Ruka were working. Another thing I don't like about this anime is the characters. First off, Kazuya became more likable towards the end of the season. Like at first he was literally just some random dude who liked every girl he saw but, after a while, he became a better person. But, that does not excuse the fact that I disliked 75% of the girls in this show. First, let's start with the obvious one: Mami. Mami is honestly a good character for the show because it presents an antagonist for the story which she actually does well because I really despise her. Then there's Ruka who I actually liked at first but, over time she started becoming the clingy girl that exists in every stereotypical harem. Then there's Mizuhara who I dislike almost as much as Mami. First of all, she's just the fakest person alive and when she's not acting fake, they turn her into the bad type of tsundere. Second, the whole plot surrounding her jut makes zero sense. They say that the only reason that they're pretending to stay together is for the sake of their grandmothers. But, honestly, if they were truly together and broke up wouldn't it be their grandmothers' job to respect their decision instead of pressure them into staying together. Then there's the one girl that I do somewhat like which is Sumi. However, they only included Sumi in one episode so it's hard to really use her as a saving grace for the entire show. However, what I will say about Rent A Girlfriend is that the manga adaptation is way more enjoyable in my opinion because most of the time it's easier to execute a good manga than a good anime. Overall, I think that season 2 for this anime has high potential since most of the main characters have been introduced and we can see them build their relationships more.
