Proven why Rent-a-GirlFriend is so hated and popular

However, mixed reactions like “ I expected it ”. How is it possible that Kanojo, Okarishimasu is so popular, but at the same time so hated by the community? Reddit user u/Excellent-Release-76 asked this question on the forum and received several responses:

“Many anime fans feel like 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 has genuinely good art and well-designed waifus, so yeah. There are probably people who project onto Kazuya and get upset about it. I don't know, people who take this series seriously also think it's weird. Personally, the discussion threads are fun to watch and it's really fun to throw shit at them. The series 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 shoddy show, phenomenon, or movie that becomes popular. It's the whole paradox of "you try to eliminate him completely but end up revolving your life around him anyway for the effort of reporting him."

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 make it better.

Synopsis:

A 20-year-old university student living in Tokyo. After a painful breakup with his girlfriend Mami Nanami, he decides to rent a girlfriend. He soon finds himself in situations where he has to keep renting Chizuru to keep up appearances with his family and friends.
