Review of Love Flops
If you drop this series before the last 5 minutes of episode 7, you'll think you saw the most generic harem anime ever. I honestly felt somewhat betrayed up until a few minutes before that point - having heard about how this show changes drastically about halfway through and suffering through a generic beach scene, thinking maybe whatever was supposed to happen had already happened. I was seriously ready to just drop it completely. I'm glad I didn't because the real story starts there. There are very subtle hints sprinkled throughout the first 7 episodes that something is off, but Ithink maybe they're a bit too subtle to carry everyone through - making someone wade through 7 episodes of generic seeming harem anime is a bit harsh. For what it's worth, you could probably just halfway pay attention to those episodes and catch enough for the rest of the story to matter. The aren't terrible necessarily, just kinda simultaneously really weird and somehow also really generic, but that itself is actually relevant to the real story. Don't know how else to put that without spoiling it. Either way, if you can tolerate some really tropey seeming harem episodes there's a real story that's actually good waiting for you.
If you're already reading this review, you were probably also already looking for romcom/harem anime anyway so... I feel safe recommending it.
