Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 5 · review
I must say I'm absolutely and completely flabbergasted by this show. Flabbergasted because I don't know on which person to put the blame on (the main writer of the anime or the mangaka), but...this season keeps on being very well written and entertaining like the previous ones were, despite the (completely nonsensical) hate this show gets online, particularly by people who should love it instead (I'm talking in particular about the Konosuba fandom). The soap-opera drama in this show is very entertaining despite being the same thing over and over and over and over, so much entertaining that not only reminds me of the bestof my favourite tokusatsu writer Toshiki Inoue (I even had Mechanical Violator Hakaider vibes in episode 4) but it's actually more entertaining than the current Kamen Rider written by a person who is a Toshiki Inoue wannabe and is behind my second favourite Kamen Rider of all times, the Geats, as proven by the fact that I've been watching Kamen Rider Zeztz and the episodes of this season side by side and lately I've been bored to death by the former whereas the latter has entertained me immensely, like it happened yesterday night. And, as a person who has supported Zeztz from the very beginning buying its henshin belt just to support it (I know the guidelines of the reviews state to not speak of personal experience, but it's simply to make you understand how this show in reality is so good it trumps money given for simple passion), I find laughable that a show promoted thanks to the wave of hate people throw at it is actually better than something this reviewer spent big money on. Concerning the characters, they're more or less the same of the previous seasons except for Mami assuming the role of the villain, and her new role is again very well written and developed, which again is a testament to how the ones writing it know what they're doing and they do it well. Also the fanservice of the main ladies is still there and kicking, so you're safe even from that point of view.
I can't recommend enough this show like I fully recommend supporting it in terms of merch too.
As a side note, please give to either the mangaka or the main writer of this show the keys of a Kamen Rider or a Super Sentai (when Toei will inevitably revert back to them after the fiasco that wlll end being Gavan Infinity), with repetitious by nature shows like those they could do EXTREMELY well.
Thanks for reading me.
