I shed a tear to Rent-a-Girlfriend??? What has the world come to? Is this reality?

Rent-a-Girlfriend 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? There’s 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 can’t say yes, because that wouldn’t drive the story along, so she says she doesn’t like him, but doesn’t dislike him. That last line is so frustrating, but it’s that MSG that keeps you coming back, because at this point, we’re all so deep into this rabbit hole that we can’t escape, just like many can’t escape the clutches of junk food. We all say we hate RAG, but how much do we actually hate it if we’re 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 you’ve 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, it’s 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 Chizuru’s 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 isn’t in love in Kazuya, and was the supporter for Kazuya and Chizuru’s 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 she’s just seen as the “perfect girl”, which to me, is just very uninteresting. However, as she’s 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.

It’s 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, let’s be real, you’ll probably be back for that eventual Season 4. Let’s not lie to ourselves, yeah? See you then.

i jumped into this show at season 3 and got the gist immediately: it's about the humiliating and demoralizing cycle of relationships and the failure to communicate between men and women. the lead character allows his obsessive, unrequited crush to degenerate him into true sociopathy, exploiting a rental girlfriend's family trauma so he can force himself into her most private, vulnerable moments. his sexual pathology - which drives this concurrent deification and objectification of his crush - is sketched out through racing, overanalytic thoughts ruminating over her every move, her every word. this brilliantly exposes the tragic and dangerous trajectory of unchecked, obsessive psuedo-love.
as a ... show, the experience can be mixed. sometimes it gets boring and you forget the main guy can be a full blown sociopath. sometimes the show devolves into sentimental speeches that make it difficult to discern how self aware exactly its creators are. the quirky supporting cast of "cute girls" come across as totems of fan service rather than actual characters and, while funny, the dialogue can be atrocious and corny, although this is likely a side effect of my needing the dialogue translated (i am not a speaker of the japanese language).
the show is at its strongest when it indulges in excruciating cringe comedy.

This show is starting to make me mad. You can't stretch out a romance Anime and have it be good. If there is a fourth season to this I dont know if I'll be able to watch it. Season 3 had barley and romantic development between the MC's and I'm thinking that season 4 won't be any different. Rance animes are not ones that you can stretch on for seasons and seasons without the MC's being together. Usually I wouldn't bash too hard on an anime if I watched the whole thing but this is starting to get repetitive. MC tries to get closer, once ... he does he pusses out and pushes himself away. It's been like this the whole time in the 36 episodes that have been released. It's so frustrating that they had such a good idea but they are dragging it on this long. This is why this show gets a lot of hate, the development between characters is so astronomically slow to the point where it feels like the story is at a standstill. I really don't want to give up hope on this one but if the fourth season, god forbid if it ever came out, is as slow and painful as this one, I might have to scrap this anime all together.

For all my strife with Kazuya, and some of the anime, I have to give it's just dues this season. Loved the character development for Chizuru and others, they did a really good job showing that growth. Even some for Kazuya at the right moments, but seeing him overtime, it's like I was watching a drop test of a smartphone where the phone survives the first few runs, but ultimately breaks on the last few drop test. I really want to give him credit where it counts though, moments of importance and the way he bust his butt for the movie project, makes me still ... hopeful for this guy, even with the headaches he gives me XD.

The story in that regard wasn't bad at all. Loved the inclusion of Yaemori to give him the push and good support along the way too. The art style was still a treat to see, and I enjoyed seeing it crank up at certain moments, along with the lighting and color shifts. And the sound...I actually liked the ED a bit more than the OP, but that doesn't take away from it still being quite nice.

Overall, I heard it might get worse from here, and seeing Mami in the end may confirm that XD, but this season was quite a ride. Here's to season four (hopefully it can take itself more seriously as it goes on too) ...

Rating: C+ to B [ 7.5 - 8 /10 ]

Definitely the best season, although I could never take it seriously because of the plot, but surprisingly here it is well crafted and doesn't cause much cringe

And honestly I did enjoy the chapters, funny and entertaining, also, beautiful animation and very pretty girls

Still, I hate Kazuya, tremendous ugly character and also the concept of renting a girlfriend

But yes, the last chapters were very emotional.



... Definitivamente la mejor temporada, aunque nunca me lo pude tomar enserio por la trama pero sorprendente aquí está bien trabajada y no da mucho cringe

Y sinceramente si disfruté los capítulos, graciosos y entretenidos, además, animación bonita y chicas muy lindas

Aún así, odio a Kazuya, tremendo personaje feo y también el concepto de rentar una novia

Pero si, muy emotivos los últimos capítulos

I couldn't even finish watching it and had to drop it at episode 4 even tho it was one of my favorite anime.
I don't remember most of the things that happened in first 2 seasons anymore and I barely remember which character is who (I didn't know that black haired girl was his girlfriend) and now it feels so empty watching it. Plot was boring so far, conversations were dry and there weren't anything that would remind me of previous seasons like a little recap or something.
If you want to watch it, at least re-watch first 2 seasons before couse it's ... probably gonna be boring otherwise.

The best season of Kanojo Okarishimasu, it's good to follow the entire process of creating the film and the way they worked on Mizuhara's feelings towards her grandmother.

The other girls end up being pretty subdued this season, but unlike season 2, it's possible to understand why they focus much more on the Mizuhara-Kazuya-Avó nucleus.

The only thing that stops this season from being even better is the protagonist, even when he's being nice and doing sweet things he still manages to be stupid and annoying, everything about him has to be a gigantic overreact and he manages to interpret absolutely every situation in the wrong way. ... . It's gotten to the point where his stupidity is the only thing stopping the work from moving forward.

In my opinion, this 3rd season of Rent a Girlfriend is quite different from the previous 2 seasons. This season is rich in emotions, and you can feel a real evolution in the characters, especially Mizuhara. Musically, just like the first two seasons, I found it to be very good. Rent a Girlfriend has always excelled in its music, especially the melancholic piano pieces, which I find exceptional!

In brief, it's a very good season. HOWEVER, in my opinion, it's not a good season for the anime "RENT A GIRLFRIEND." Let me explain:

Even though this season is well-executed and more mature, paradoxically, that's what bothered me ... about this season. What I liked and enjoyed in the first two seasons was the slightly immature aspect, the story with all the girls (Chizuru but also Ruka, Sumi, Mami...). In this 3rd season, the story almost exclusively focuses on the development between Kazuya and Mizuhara, and as a result, I personally felt a void as I lost what attracted me the most in the previous seasons. I loved being able to laugh at these characters, all so different, but together, they created very absurd situations that made me laugh a lot. They do introduce a new character (Mini), but she doesn't contribute much to the story in the end.

In my opinion, this 3rd season and this part of the story lose a bit of the essence of Rent a Girlfriend, even though it is once again very beautiful to watch.

The best girl is Sumi.
Ruka is way better than Chizuru.
Chizuru is CRAP AF.
Yaemori, Mini is a little sly fox.

Is the story unique? If it was predictable, did you enjoy it anyway because you like this genre/set-up?
The story is meh.

Do you think the art style is fitting for the story?
The art style was really good.
...
Were the characters well-rounded? Did they have flaws and strengths, or were they unusually strong/smart/stupid?
Characters were average.

Did the characters react to situations and events in a realistic way?
The reactions and the BG design were really good.

Do you think others will enjoy/dislike this series, even if you didn't? Why?
The only good thing I can say about this series is that Mami was not in S3.
Good Riddance.
Apart from that I hated the ending hence 1./10

I'll try to be brief. I haven't read the source material, so I don't know how the plot will develop further. Therefore, I have no hope for the storyline to transform into a better, more interesting direction. Moreover, I've heard that it has been in stagnation for quite some time. But we're not talking about the source material; we're discussing the third season of the adaptation.

Honestly, I don't care anymore. The second season was just a dragged-out imitation of the first one, and these three episodes have only reinforced my belief that there won't be any significant decisions or transformations from the main cast of ... the show.

I'll give this season the benefit of the doubt for another 2-3 episodes, but if there's no plot shake-up that forces the main ensemble to evolve, I'll quit watching. Because it's not a "realistic" drama, and it has never presented itself as one. You know, where you could forgive the main characters' inertia, their inability to confront internal conflicts, and so on... because that's how it happens in real life. It has always been a half-comedy with sometimes blatantly stupid charcter/plot decisions. That's why I can't justify the lack of momentum in this show.

I'm not done yet, but i'm quite close to about to.

I understand your frustration with the current state of the anime "Kanojo, Okarishimasu" and its lack of plot development in the third season. It's disappointing when a series fails to evolve and instead feels like a prolonged imitation of previous seasons.

As an adaptation, it's expected for the anime to bring its own style to the story while remaining faithful to the source material. Unfortunately, it seems that the lack of significant decisions or transformations from the main cast in the third season has made it difficult for you to enjoy the show.

The balance between comedy and realistic drama can be crucial for the overall appeal ... of a series, and if the show has leaned more towards humor while neglecting character growth and conflict resolution, it's understandable that you feel frustrated and demotivated.

Giving the third season a few more episodes to see if there's a change in the plot that drives character development is a reasonable approach, but it's understandable that your patience is reaching its limit. Sometimes, a lack of momentum in a series can make it challenging to maintain interest.
