Review of Kiss Him, Not Me!
Perhaps I have not seen enough reverse harem type of anime to understand all of its tropes but I'll give it a go anyway. Watashi ga Motete Dousunda starts with a rather bland narrative, an unattractive girl suddenly loses weight and gets all the attention from her potential candidates. However, I do like to point out that the narrative does increase in flavour when there are decent characters in the series. I understand the appeal for character development but for a series like this let's be real here you're not expecting a 180 so if you're banking on that it is already a terrible decision.Though I have to say the characters are drawn rather nicely, this is perhaps the highlight of the series if the characters were unattractive I seriously doubt this would gain any traction. The music was passable with some really good moments incorporated altogether with the overall aesthetic. Although not all characters were written well, the ones that are, were absolutely great.
The pacing was alright but it could've been better, perhaps the anime was meant as a tease to entice its audience to read the manga because there were many angles that they could've shot for. The voice acting is surprisingly stacked with some powerhouse cast and the most notable one would be Sawashiro Miyuki you'll instantly know it's her when her character appears she just possesses that star quality that is hard to miss, unsurprisingly her character is amazing too.
The overall aesthetic of this title banks a lot of its comedy and cutesy romance. Although the narrative was slightly within the average zone, it succeeded in its comedic scenes and over-deliberate cute moments. Although I personally would've preferred a more heart-felt romance in this case it just wouldn't fit the overall feel of the title. Props to the writer, there were certainly many different directions this could've gone but the overall was really well done.
A pretty decent 7 I suppose.
