This anime is definitely the best comedy anime for this season it's a living meme
Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya are in love with each other. However, they don't want to confess it as they think doing so would hurt their pride. They cannot also resist the feelings for each other and always long for each others' attention. They have to try their best not to give away even a slightest of the hint and instead desperately try to plot wicked schemes so as to try to make or force the other person to confess first. They believe whoever does so first would lose.
Overall, the anime is hilarious and it's obvious that while discussing this anime, you won't discuss its storyline. There is no room for such discussion. Instead, you would discuss about some of its iconic or hilarious scenes. The season 1 was out and out a hilarious one. The season 2 is hilarious too but it has some very serious moments, which could make you contemplate about your own life. Sometimes, the narration and some random situation is exaggerated and you might feel bored but most of the time, it's a good laugh and you would enjoy watching it.
This show has some very funny and intense characters. Its not difficult to figure out that both the main characters Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane are typical Tsundere. In fact, one of them could even be a flag bearer of this era of Tsundereness. Among the supporting characters, Fujiwara Chika is an airhead and she is there mostly for the comic relief. The one character who literally stands out is Ishigami Yu. A kind of an introvert, with whom any Otaku could relate and the way his character was developed in the season 2 was amazing. You cannot help but feel proud of him. The new character Iino Miko isn't much into romance or comedy so far but just like Kaguya and Miyuki, she too has an habit of overthinking. Hayasaki Ai too cannot be ignored. She is one hell of a maid.
The anime has some amazing theme songs and they really suit to this kind of a theme. Out of those, Chikatto Chika chika is easily the best song. Although, appeared for only one episode of season 1, both the song and the Chika dance are classic and unforgettable.
Is this anime recommendable? I don't know. In this case, a lot would depend on one's preference. I have enjoyed this anime and I have rated it accordingly.

This anime is the funniest I've seen yet. I'm not a great fan of the comedy genre but this anime is definitely that every one should try and see
I watched the first episode when it was released because I thought it sounded original and interesting. I was blown away by the quality in just the first couple of episodes. Fantastic and funny writing, characters, voice actors and amazing animation and each episode just gets better and better. I binged the manga after the first couple of episodes and the source material is fantastic as well (and still ongoing so let's hope for at least 1 more season) but you can tell the creators of the anime really but their hearts into this one.
Hilarious, beautiful, and enticing I whole heatedly recommend this show. 10/10
Kaguya-sama: Love Is War in my opinion is one of the best rom-com anime ever and a breath of fresh air into the genre that every anime fan need to check out even when the reason you know about the show is through the infamous dance scene of ep 3 that make the whole community lose their mind. The characters are awesome and well developed while the comedy is absurdly funny in a Monogatari kind of way. The two main character Shirogane and Shinomiya is no doubt my best anime couple of the season and fan favorite character Fujiwara is also a strong contender for the best supporing female character role but all my heart and support goes out to Yu Ishigami a.k.a OUR GUY because he a character that speak what on everybody mind and represent a majority of the viewer in a bad but funny light

- TriviaIan Sinclair's version of the Narrator in the English Dub is significantly different than the Original Japanese's version, voiced by Yutaka Aoyama. Aoyama plays the Narrator Straight, as if studying the Characters in the same vein as a Documentary, while Sinclair is more playful, cracking jokes & laughing (most likely Improvisation on Sinclair's part).
