i gave this a better shot than i did college summary: so kiss him not me is an anime with a few blatant things that immediately stand out as wrong and caused me to drop it my first time i watched it. first the entire premise is a fujoshi doesnt eat for a week and then because she didnt eat she is no longer fat and is now hot which is a yikes ass message on multiple levels. because of her being hot 3 hot guys who were around her decide they care about her and one hot guy who isnt a piece of shit is still hanging out with her. but shock shes a fujoshi so she doesnt care about that and kinda just wants to ship these real people she knows which whatever thats a starting base for a story. theres a few paths that can be taken from that as a story and a few of them are good i actively think that an anime that starts with someone fetishising the queer image and ends with them realising the harm that can do and getting past that phase in their life and hell id even take an arguement for it being an entryway into queer acceptance albeit not an ideal one. sadly the path it goes down is continual use of queerbaiting and fat jokes for comedic purposes and for me capstones at having an actually charming and cute episode that nearly redeemed the whole ass show be interrupted by sexual assault which gets pretty much brushed over. Characters: So For characters we have: 1. Kae a pretty bog standard in base personality of being a genuinely nice person but they also added super into anime and bl which is a character trait there are characters like that but aside from her weight which Fluctuates For Comedic Purposes thats all she has i wish i could really write more about her character but character depth is reserved for the lesbian 2. Mutsumi the only not piece of shit boy. hes a genuinely nice person full stop whos soft spoken and consistently takes interest in his friends hobbies and cares about their comfort levels including kaes during this whole reverse harem fiasco. he deserves a better anime 3. Shinomiya who is pretty much just a little bitch. he actively was rude and a complete dick to kae while she was fat and changed her mind once her looks was to his liking and he has no actual redeemable qualities. they may come after episode 8 but thats too late in my book 4. Igarashi aka the Nice Guy. Igarashi also didnt really care about kae at before she was hot but he does have the decency to admit it was the case and has shown signs of not just wanting to give up if she becomes fat again. 5. Nanashima i almost had something nice to say about him. shame he had to do a sexual assault and completely fuck up his character. 6. Nishima is good. shes one of two characters with a personality she deserves a better anime where she doesnt exist to queerbait shes the lesbian with character depth. Art/music/sound design: honestly i cannot talk negatively about any of the design of this anime too much its not offensive but nothing truly stands out. i have to give sever negative props to them adding a bunch of bouncy sound effects to kae when shes fat definitely high tier comedy and NOT absolutely boringly unfunny. TLDR: Too Lame Dont Watch.
