Review of Kiss Him, Not Me!

Kiss him not me is a revolting anime to say the least. I want you all to know how fatphobic this anime is and how it promotes the fetishisation of gay men and eating disorders. Kiss him not me starts of with a fat (and therefore ugly because according to this anime you can’t be fat and pretty 🙄)high school with basically no facial features in tears because her favourite character in an anime dies. She become so emotional that she become unable to take after herself and basically starved herself for a week. Getting up after this week she finds herself to be skinnyand with actual facial features!!!
She goes to school and nobody recognises her because she lost weight and is now somehow completely unrecognisable. She finds out that many people have fallen for her now that’s she’s skinny (really feels like that’s promoting an eating disorder tbh).

The anime then goes on to do many typical anime tropes, such as a beach episode, going on dates with all of the character…etc, etc. but somehow all the stereotypical episodes are able to not be completely terrible.

All the characters in the show are horrible and I likeable for their own unique reasons. Infact they were so bad I don’t remember any of their names, so to describe the characters to you I’m gonna go based of their most noticeable feature.
The blonde one is so I un-likeable idk why she even considered him, he’s a bully,and he only likes her because she’s skinny and has no actual interest in her when she’s not skinny
.
The short one feels as though hes not ‘manly’ enough because hes built like a girl and actually has emotions, despite him sounding actually alight hes also only inlove with her bc she’s skinny and treated her like shit when was was considered ugly.

The boy with short black hair is similar to the blond one but actualy has some decency. He starts of only liking her because she’s pretty but after A WHILE he realises he will love her no matter her size, which is sweet ig

The girl is not great, she would be better if she didn’t kiss her without consent and didn’t fetishise gay men but that seems to be a running theme in this anime so by the time they introduced her I wasn’t as botherd. She’s rich and she saves the main girl from a creep who was trying to take up-skirt pictures of her.

And FINALY the ONLY person in this anime who is a good person is Mustumi (the tall one with brown hair) from the beginning he knew it was her when she lost weight, stateing that she was still the same person and that she had just lost a bit of weight. He was the only person in this show that wasn’t a creep and was genuinely just a nice person. I love him for that

The music in the show as alright but nothing special, I did however really like the opening music. It was catchy.

Overall it’s a trophy anime with shit character, a shit plot, and shitty fetishisation and I can’t believe it has such a high score on MAL
