I shed a tear to RentaGirlfriend??? What has the world come to? Is this reality? RentaGirlfriend is at the butt end of a lot of jokes in the anime community and hated by many understandably so. You might ask then why are so many of these losers watching this absolute joke of a show? Theres a simple answer. We eat unhealthy foods all the time we have fast food instant noodles sugary junk that we all know is bad for us but we still eat it anyway. If anything RAG does a nice job in keeping the fools coming back for more by sprinkling in some of that MSG. Say that Chizuru is asked if she likes Kazuya and you know she cant say yes because that wouldnt drive the story along so she says she doesnt like him but doesnt dislike him. That last line is so frustrating but its that MSG that keeps you coming back because at this point were all so deep into this rabbit hole that we cant escape just like many cant escape the clutches of junk food. We all say we hate RAG but how much do we actually hate it if were coming back for more? To you manga readers I salute you for getting through three hundred chapters of this dumpster fire. You all must be the soldiers of the god that is Reiji Miyajima. If youve been paying attention to the animanga community most people have said that this arc is the peak of the story and compared to the previous two seasons I would have to agree with that sentiment. For RAG standards this is honestly really solid but compared to the rest of anime its fine though there were some great moments this season that caught me a bit off guard. There is a level of development for Kazuya the main character although he is still the guy that he always was but unlike the previous seasons there seems to be a better sense of narrative direction as Kazuya attempts to produce a movie for Chizuru and for her grandma to realize her wish to see her granddaughter on the big screen in a film. In the process the lie of Kazuya and Chizurus relationship is finally tackled something that dragged on for far too long. A nice addition to the cast this season is Mini Yaemori a bundle of fun energy and she boasts one unique trait the fact she isnt in love in Kazuya and was the supporter for Kazuya and Chizurus relationship. She brought in some nice humour and was definitely one of the best parts of this season. Chizuru has long been a very boring character to me as shes just seen as the perfect girl which to me is just very uninteresting. However as shes the main female character the story direction must revolve around her a bit and some of the developments this season certainly elevated her character to somewhat greater heights. Sumi is as wholesome as ever and Ruka is just there though she had some nice moments as well. Its junk food in the end but at least this time it was more palatable junk food and as much as we love to rag on this anime lets be real youll probably be back for that eventual Season 4. Lets not lie to ourselves yeah? See you then.
