Rent-a-Girlfriend - Season 1

I came, I saw, I left. I could not help it because there was nothing interesting or original about this show, it was just another generic, dumbed-down, ecchi comedy anime series. It has an extremely pathetic and annoying main male protagonist a I hate him despite the fact, that the sceenwriters tries to convince me, that he is actually a nice guy, and all the girls flock around him... Fairy tales about how some sexy princess will one day really understand you, pull you out of your shell, and make you a man which is aimed at nerdy, geeky teenagers (who see themself in the main protagonist) amused me until I was about twenty-five. After that I realized that it was a stupid fantasy and most of my friends who are still single in their thirties, are exactly the same as the protagonist, they have lots of girl-friends, are happy to help any girl in need, and yet always go home alone unfulfilled… There is no bright future ahead for pathetic, nice, complacent, incompetent guys because as the clitoris in South Park said - "chicks love confidence"! So, this is why I do not like this fairy tale, because I think what they are trying to convey is such outrageous bullshit... Moreover, if you have already seen this type of anime series with a similar male protagonist before, then you are going to find it all predictable, boring, and ridiculous, just like the fact that I know that despite all the ecchi interludes the main protagonist will remain a virgin for the rest of the season even though he is a normal twenty-year-old man with a healthy interest in women and sex. These are not even spoilers, because this must have been obvious to everyone after the first episode. The male protagonist is of course going to get close to having sex a few times, so the sweaty young men in the audience can wrestle their one-eyed snake, and if not, at least fantasize about it… So how and with whom does the main protagonist end up? That is quite obvious, right? More importantly - do I really need to talk about that in this review? Stop, that is quite enough, if I want to see something like this, I am going to watch Shrek again because at least its main protagonist is undeniably endearing... I am giving up on this after the second episode and am leaving other reviewers to rate it because I could be wrong and this could be pure gold - a profound work that will destroy all the rom-com rivals in its path, or maybe introduce an innovative and original concept to the world of ecchi! I actually do not believe that of course, even though anything is possible… (18/07/2020)
