Review of Kiss Him, Not Me!

A series that openly mocks Otaku culture, while being written in a way only otaku will really get, "Kiss Him, not Me" is a functional but completely forgettable series. Centering around a girl who loses a massive/unhealthy amount of weight and suddenly becomes popular, the premise is equally as shallow as most of the cast. Everyone is a stereotypical shonen or shoujo character, the plots cycle through all the main anime tropes (a school festival, a sports event, a beach episode, a dating episode with all 5 potential partners), and it all ends without any of the characters really moving anywhere. The only character whodoes have an arc still only does so to move the plot to a status quo ending.

That being said it is very self aware and pokes fun at the Otaku culture without pulling its punches, while also portraying that extreme otaku can be both functional as well as the worst kind of fan. If you have a weekend with absolutely nothing better in your que, you could find the humor enjoyable.
