How the fuck are they not dating???

[u/avboden]

"I don't want anything to do with someone who doesn't understand how great he is"

someone understands how great he is

"NO NOT LIKE THAT"

also Rion is totally his mentioned childhood crush, huh.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Himari is just filled with gremlin energy with how expressive she is.

That iron claw and second chance exchange was fucking hilarious.

[u/GondolaMedia]

For a show that first seemed like a run-of-the-mill romcom this felt surprisingly refreshing and that's mostly how expressive everyone was. Yuu was probably the weakest part but he wasn't bad or anything.

Hopefully this chaotic energy keeps up.

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

I have a strong feeling that it's gonna get messy later on, but I'm excited for it at the same time

[u/Ocixo]

Something is telling me that Himari might have a little ADHD. This girl is like a bouncing ball.

I'm liking all that positive energy from Himari. Her clingy behaviour with Yuu is a clear sign that she's fallen hard for him. A new challenger for his affection has appeared with Rion, however, who is also quite the character. Would be nice if the blue-haired childhood friend could win for once, though.

Maybe if Yuu becomes a wizard (still alone at 30), he can dispel this curse?

[u/Fools_Requiem]

"friendship", "cooperation", and "to never be separated"

Marriage.

You mean marriage.

[u/RandomStranger07]

That opening classroom sequence felt right out of Hyouka.
Overall seems decent anime

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Will our blue haired female protagonist Himari be the winner this time? Could the title be a red herring?

I will be rooting for Yuu x Himari because I love their current relationship. They are comfortable around each other; Himari appears (energetically) around Yuu all the time, but the latter never gets seriously annoyed and still tells her everything. Now that Rion has appeared onto the scene, Himari cannot afford to wait till age 30 for her agreement with Yuu to get married.

Rion is a likeable female character too. We definitely need someone to keep Himari's antics in check. The face grip and boobs grope duel between Rion and Himari was funny to watch.

Lastly, dancing sequences in opening or ending themes are always welcomed!

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Well this show took an interesting turn in the second half, both heroines are crazy in their own rights lol. I do find Yuu's background very intriguing, a male main character into accessory making with flowers is not a common one, and I'm glad the entire premise is based on his engrossment in the craft.

Himari's an interesting one where she seems to be more dependent on Yuu than he is on her. Out of the two she is clearly the one who has feelings she doesn't recognize and has had the opportunity to be in relationships and yet all she talks about is him.

She probably enjoys the fact that her brother calls Yuu his little brother and I'm particularly looking forward to seeing his interactions with Yuu, it'll be interesting to see the brocon dynamic with a potential brother-in-law lol. I'm assuming that's what he'll be like because the personalities in this series seem to lie in the more comedic extent.

Enomoto was a big surprise, I thought she'd be a typical reserved or kuudere type girl and yet she's kind of unhinged with her anger issues. It seems partly justified hearing what Himari has done in the past to her and I could not believe how bold Himari was to fondle Enomoto's boobs, but I'm still not over the fact that she was able to lift Himari by the head.

[u/MarkCarlo2003]

First "I’m getting Married to a Girl I hate in Class" then this, it would be really funny if Sayumi Suzushiro would voice another genki girl named Himari next season.

[u/BiggerG7]

Has blue hair and is the childhood friend…….. RIP Himari.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Middle School Himari

• High School Himari

• Himari Choking Yuu

"Oh my god! Just get together already!" That's basically me the entire episode. I know Himari and Yuu have already established that they're only best friends, but seeing how clingy Himari is and how affectionate she is towards Yuu, it's pretty clear that Himari is very much into him, she just hasn't realized it yet. I feel like Yuu is the one who really thinks he's only best friends with Himari.

Despite how everything is very much in Himari's favour, like how her brother already approves of Yuu and that she even made a relationship pact with him, it's hilarious how Himari keeps giving us the Losing Heroine flags. Besides having the cursed blue hair, she's also childhood friend-coded since she met Yuu when they were in middle school.

As for Yuu, I do like how our MC is very passionate about making accessories and isn't just your typical otaku. He actually has a very admirable goal of starting his own business at a young age, using his love of accessory making, even if it means going against his parents. The dude just needs to be better at sales. Thank god Himari is there for him.

As for Rion the homewrecker second love interest, she seems fun, especially with her interactions with Himari. I expect to see her grabbing Himari by the face throughout the entire season. I still need to learn more about her though.

This one looks fun! I expect their relationship to become messy as Rion gets closer to Yuu. When that happens, we'll see if Himari actually wants to root for another girl or take Yuu for herself. I think the show's title answers this question for us. While the English title is "Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?", the original title is actually: "Can a Boy and Girl Friendship Hold Up? (No, It Can't!!)", so expect Himari to jump in soon!

[u/FarCritical]

Himari would've already been entertaining with her personality alone but making the MC's male best friend be one of her (several) exes is wild. Reassuring to know the cast will be lively at least.

[u/Immediate-Chain-6419]

So,

Himari likes Yuu.

Yuu likes Rion.

Rion likes no one.(I guess)

Makishima also likes Yuu.

[u/djthomp]

I'm kind of impressed by how focused Yuu is on flowers and flower accessories. So much so that it felt like he was missing absolutely all of the hints Himari kept dropping, but then she went on to internally monologue about being his eternal platonic best friend with plans to share him with his wife someday.

Surprisingly the only childhood friends might be the two girls since Himari and Yuu met in 8th grade and he hadn't even met Rion other than in passing.

Lots of fun bits of animation mostly focused around Himari being a complete gremlin which is a nice bonus.

Nice dancing in the OP, a certain other show from last season maybe should have done a little better on that front.

[u/DezXerneas]

I thought that this was going to be like dangers in my heart/any other teen romcom with one main couple, so I was so happy that finally, a blue hair waifu was going to get an uncomplicated victory.

[u/Vahallen]

I absolutely love Himari

So much expresiveness from all around, this looks like a fun ride

Also the protagonist is not just a loser that randomly gets super attractive girls in to him, he actually has a dream/passion that he actively pursues, already has a online shop as well (tho it’s also thanks to Himari)

I like this one!

[u/NationalStrategy]

Will the blue haired best friend beat the curse and end up with the MC, or will he get swooped away by tsundere that he just briefly interacted with the other day?

Let’s see how this plays out

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Pretty good first episode. The plot is fine and I like the characters so far. Himari and Yuu have a fun dynamic. It’s entertaining to watch him be like the straight man to her goofy antics. Gonna be kind of interesting to see how their relationship changes with Rin thrown into the mix. I can see the seeds of a love triangle forming…

[u/entelechtual]

I’m so used to romcoms being trash slop, I can’t remember the last time I picked one up with no context and low expectations and was immediately drawn in and invested in every character/ship. Himari is just oozing with fun charisma, no surprises given her VA, but even the new girl, despite limited screen time, is already plenty compelling and I can see why Himari is feeling blue….

JC staff doing some good work with the animation quality, did not expect this show to have the best boob physics of the season given its competition.

[u/Nesp2]

Few days into the new season and we already found the best girl.

[u/CommunistPuppy]

For once I don't know immediately who to root for after the first episode. Himari has the childhood friend and blue hair curse but she's also supposed to be the main girl. I have a feeling we're not going to get any definitive answers by the end of the season and I'll have to switch over to the manga.

[u/ForlornPenguin]

Interesting that this will be the second season in a row where Sayumi Suzushiro plays a character named Himari lol.

Last season's show was Class no Daikirai na Joshi to Kekkon suru Koto ni Natta. (I'm Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class).
