As yes, the epic battle of best girl VS worst girl and the man who ruins it for everyone. How I enjoyed the hours I spent huddled with my friends around the warming fire of this burning dumpster, I regret everything and nothing at the same time. 

The opening slaps harder than the MC needs to be slapped by the end of it.

I don't know what exactly I was expecting from this anime, but I guess I'm just hoping anime as a whole is getting better. I'm not speaking about quality or the story, I'm speaking of representation and presentation of marginalized people. Specifically, Marie is presented as obviously transgender but she is played as a joke. We have had beautiful anime portraying trans characters and their struggle and yet, this is going back to outdated tropes and stereotypes. If we have better representation and we stop encouraging the ridicule of trans people, then we can as a culture, or really as many interconnected cultures, move closer to real acceptance. 

Step it up.

This one is okay. It's story is kindof unnecessarilly convoluted. The viduals are pleasing to the eye though.  The characters are slightly interesting. Just enough for me to have finished the series. My general response to this show is "Ugh, well I guess I will watch one more episode." Then I just sort of kept doing that until it was over. I have dropped shows that I enjoyed more than this.

This show has been a guilty pleasure and I've managed to get a few friends involved in this journey. Was it a good show? Not really... But you know something bad is going to happen and your eyes are just glued to the screen because of it. The show is simply put... a hot mess.

I genuinely consider Domestic Girlfriend to be good anime. Although the anime can be fairly predictable at some times, there is to a certain extent character development. There were some movements in the animation that quite bothered me, especially when Natsuo would go to kiss Hina or Rin since the movements were not natural. The voice actors made an incredible role to interpret the personality of the character from the manga, plus the background music would genuinely be good for the type of situation/circumstance, and let's not forget about the insane song in the opening. I really hope that they release a couple more seasons of the anime since I can really see it blossom, and I also hope they improve the animation a bit if there is to come a new season, but until then, an overall of 7,25 is the highest score I could possibly give to this anime.
