Review of Kiss Him, Not Me!
As far as I know, no one pointed out the fact that I was really stricken with, that's why I decided to write this review. I believe in succinctness so I'll be brief. First I have to say, that the art was pretty good, and animation was decent. Also the anime had a lot of funny moments. BUT the whole concept is wrong! A girl is fat, so boys either ignore her or are mean towards her. Then she suddenly loses weight, and the same boys start to be very interested in her. The whole anime is about them being interested in her, spending time together and so on.But honestly, I wouldn't want to spend time with someone who is nice to me only because I'm attractive.
In my opinion she should have enough self-esteem to say no to jerks who are only after her looks, and doesn't care about her personality.
Moving forward, given that she didn't say no, and they indeed spend so much time together you'd think there is a room for change. The boys should realize looks aren't everything and like her for who she is.
Not a chance.
Although one boy says he realized just that, his actions speak oppositely. They go with her to anime conventions and historical adventures, and hate it all the way. They hate things she is interested in, so you tell me if they like her for her personality.
For most episodes we get to watch funny moments of a group of friends, only we are constantly remained they aren't really friends. The boys don't like each other. They hang out together only because they don't want to leave one of them alone with this girl, which I think is really sad.
To be fair there are two characters that don't mach this description, as they liked the girl even when she was fat, and they share her interests. But unfortunately that doesn't change anything.
<beginning slight spoiler>
I thought in this anime the girl will come to realize which characters like her for who she is, choose them or one of them, and leave other jerks alone, but that's not what happened.
<spoiler end>
To sum up, the plot is terrible, but I can't deny I laughed a lot, so if you don't mind the story, you can watch it just for laughs.
