Review of Kiss Him, Not Me!

Watashi ga Motete Dousunda (Kiss Him, Not Me) is about a girl named Kae Serinuma who is an otaku and an avid lover of all things yaoi. She begins the story being overweight, but once she watches her favorite anime character get killed off she grieves for him and in doing so she refuses to leave her room, eat any food, and shuts herself off from everything for awhile so she can continue mourning her precious Shion. Since she refused to eat, she has miraculously lost a significant amount of weight and now is thin and now considered to be a beauty. Her peers are shockedand some of them even fall for her. In particular, four boys and even a girl. These five pursue her throughout the anime and try to win her over by competing with the other four.

Now for individual scoring:

Story - Nothing too original, its a reverse harem with many clichés and typical things you'd see and expect in a harem with a touch of comedy. One thing in particular that I liked about this anime is that all candidates in this harem got a fair chance at winning Kae Serinuma over, including the other female. Other than that nothing too notable. The story was interesting to continue to watch and I got through it fairly easily and quickly without growing tired of watching it. Although the ending was predictable (and to be honest, slightly disappointing) the story was fairly well done.

Art - Artwork is pretty well done, but somewhat generic of its type. That being said, its fine and is by no means "ugly" to look at. However, I must point out that it took me quite awhile to get used to the coloring of many characters eyes. They seem to have tried to make the characters eyes pop more with a gradient of color, but in many cases for me began to be a bit of an eyesore at first.

Sound - Music was well fitting and fine, nothing bad to say about it.

Characters - Character designs were good and unique. Each character had an interesting personality and I found myself liking all of them quite well.

Overall, Watashi ga Motete Dousunda (Kiss Him, Not Me) was a fairly well done anime. Even though I personally do not enjoy harems, I found this one to be good and I was able to watch it with ease. In my opinion, this anime was quite enjoyable, I got a few laughs out of it, and felt it was something I felt I wanted to finish and see through to the end.

Enjoy the anime if you plan on watching it, and thank you for reading!
