anime pirate website became famous for adding ( Rent A Girlfriend franchise to a separate category: "Cringe." The expression refers to "embarrassment, embarrassment, or secondhand embarrassment," and the series joins anime such as Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun , School Days and others.
Proven why Rent-a-GirlFriend is so hated and popular
However, there were mixed reactions like " I expected it ." How is it possible that Kanojo, Okarishimasu is so popular, yet so hated by the community? Reddit user u/Excellent-Release-76 posed this question on the forum and received several responses:
“Many anime fans feel that people look down on them for liking anime because of the stereotypes, and seeing something like this become popular “confirms” the stereotypes, which bothers them.”
A trashy romantic comedy that became popular, basically. I mean, it has an interesting premise and genuinely good art, plus well-designed waifus, so yeah. There are probably people who project it onto Kazuya and get upset about it. I don't know, people who take this show seriously also find it weird. Personally, it's fun to watch the discussion threads and it's really fun to throw shit at them. The show is almost like a shitpost, to be honest. Right now, it's just a sunk cost fallacy, and it's funny how bad the show can get.
This is what happens with any bad show, phenomenon, or movie that becomes popular. It's the whole paradox of "you try to eliminate it completely, but you end up revolving your life around it anyway in the effort to denounce it."
The main character is a nuisance. He makes all the wrong decisions, cries about it when things go wrong, throws a pity party about how much it sucks, and then proceeds to do nothing to improve it.
Synopsis:
A 20-year-old college student living in Tokyo. After a painful breakup with his girlfriend Mami Nanami, he decides to rent a girlfriend. He soon finds himself having to continue renting Chizuru to keep up appearances with his family and friends.
