    Too wholesome and underwhelming...

    Usually when you get a great anime like this with well drawn characters and good animation. As well as acting and a good love story with a side quirk. It can be a home run!

    However... the problem with this anime is the characters are already together yet they exhibit the affections of children that are just friends. It's obvious they're soul mates and madly in love yet they won't even share a kiss?? I know they're in school so I'm not expecting them to goto pound town or anything... because then it'd be more realistic. To find something of love and in between can still be wholesome.

    6/10 for what it is. Not bad and worth a watch. Just don't expect anything super emotional.

    Good as it is wholesome

    The anime is cute and the animation style is also really good. All the side characters in the series get their time in the anime, not anyone is leftout.

    This needs a season 2

    I watched this anime and it's very good and heartwarming which contains a simple love story no complex drama and the nature of true love which makes this anime mesmerizing .I want to request the studio(Doga kobo) to produce its second season. Tis anime explains the form of pure heartwarming love and how a couple stays and it's very different than all the other animes and it is very basic that I personally liked about this anime. Second of all the design and the voice of the characters are very good and the shy nature of both them suits in the anime well and this anime needs a second season. Gud.

    She's kind of a superhero, too!

    (10+) I think a younger audience would appreciate this show more than I did, primarily because I could not see one reason the incredibly beautiful, talented, popular, intelligent, and (apparently) super powered female protagonist would do anything but scoff at the male protagonist. Harsh, but he seemed pretty darn average in most respects, AND he also had the absolute worst luck in the world - so the FMC is always stepping in and saving him! Yes, he was kind and upbeat, but it was just a bridge too far for me. Still, if completely mismatched couples are your thing, you'd probably like this!

    It's a fun wholesome anime

    It's a wholesome anime which follow Shikimori, Izumi and their friends in an high-school setting, the anime revolves around the relationship between Shikimori and Izumi. Izumi is an typical unlucky boy type who has a pure heart and always tries his best while Shikimori is his girlfriend and tries to be cute but always comes of cool while helping Izumi.

    It's just a wholesome anime and you cam just pick any episode and have fun watching but fair warning that it's a typical romcom type theme even though the traits are flipped and pretty shallow if we try to go too deep into the plot. But all the characters extremely likable and it rarely feel like a drag.

    • Trivia
      Due to the airing of urgent special news bulletins regarding the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano eruption on January 15, 2022, the previous series that was occupying the same time slot required a scheduling adjustment. Thus, Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san's own TV broadcast premiere was delayed by one week from April 2, 2022 to April 9, 2022.
