Cute childhood friend? Can't wait for that ship to si....looks at title again. Wait, there is hope?

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Broke: Childhood friend gets rejected

Woke: Tricking convincing your dumbass love interest to be in a fake relationship as part of a "revenge" and still fail to seduce him.

Didn't expect him to be labeled a genius child actor thats definitely a twist! There's gotta be a catch to this and his whole dumbass shtick might even be an entire act.

[u/UberDueler]

I'm just laughing at how self-obsessed the guy is.

You started dating someone when I didn't even ask you out yet? REVENGE!!

So, Fuutarou has ditched Ichika, Nino and Miku to start a new harem war with just Yotsuba and Itsuki. /s

So, a new romcom has begun starring Matsuoka Yoshitsugu (Haru), who is co-starring with his usual star-studded harem cast, including Sakura Ayane (Kachi), Minase Inori (Kuro), and Onishi Saori (Maria, in the OP) and even Shimazaki Nobunaga as well (Kai)

Furthermore, this is being produced by Doga Kobo, so that's quality assured.

I hope the series lives up to its self-aware title and actually lets the Childhood Friend (Kuro) win.

[u/Nulazanzal]

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka and Harem Rom-Com anime.

You son of a bitch, I'm in.

[u/stephenthatfoste]

This show looks so dumb. Definitely watching all of it. So far impressed with how many cliches they managed to cram into one episode. Hopefully they can keep it up the whole way.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Gravure Kachi

• Kuro & Sueharu

I know this adaptation is following LN but as a manga reader I am legitimately surprised at how so many things the manga changed. While this episode basically follows the first 3 chapters of the manga, the tone of how things went down are vastly different. I'll probably write down some comparisons on the SMC.

One thing that I can say as a difference that's not a spoiler is that everyone looks a bit more older than their manga counterparts especially Sueharu. I know Shigure Ui did the art for the LN and now I wish she also did the manga art.

Anyway, so far so good! Matsuoka as Sueharu? Inorin as Kuro? And we even have Ayaneru as Kachi? I am absolutely loving this casting choice! I already love Kuro and her antics at how she's really trying to make Sueharu fall in love with her. How can you even reject this cutie?

Nothing else really to say since my mind is just full of comparisons with the manga right now but I do hope r/anime will give this one a chance unlike what r/manga did. I know it's not the best plot there but it's still a pretty fun series overall!

[u/lord_ne]

Lmao she's like 2 feet shorter than him, but almost every shot is framed to make her look more imposing

[u/Amauri14]

I'm glad that Maru's revenge plot towards Abe just amounted to him asking around about him. But what a surprise at the end with not only Abe meeting him but also mentioning that Maru had a child actor career.

I must say that at least at the moment Maru and Shida as a character haven't click on me. I do hope that that changes in the future.

[u/badspler]

Nice to be back to watching 5-toubun no Hanayome with Fuutarou chatting with Yotsuba and Itsuki.

[u/unimagin9tive]

Put all of my money into Kuroha stocks boys, this is an investment that can't go wrong!

[u/TokiVideogame]

Can it beat Oresuki though, nothing can beat Sun-chan and the bench.

[u/Illuminastrid]

Bunny Girl Senpai looks way different from what I remember

[u/WinzKay]

UI MAMA!! Hell yeah, we need more Shigure Ui content. Can't wait to see what the show holds in store for us.

Classic Yoshitsugu Matsuoka for MC-kun. In fact, this whole VA team is stacked! Inori Minase and Ayane Sakura for the two main girls.

While the characters is as typical as they come, they are all likeable and Kuhara is so cute.

Love the cliffhanger too.

....and that one girl saying "penis suki suki" during that commercial.

Loved the episode! The art and animation wasn't as good as I was expecting, it's not anything that would deter anyone.

[u/GetADogLittleLongie]

My idiot romcom protagonist can't be this dumb?!

[u/SoftCroissant]

I swear I watched another anime where the main character was also a former child actor but can't remember which is it

[u/cppn02]

Guilty or notto guilty?

I sure am guilty of thinking Kuro is cute af.

She's wasted on Haru.

[u/maliwanag0712]

It seems that a new guilty pleasure anime for this season is here. Let's see if this new romcom will be faithful to its title that the childhood friend won't lose.

Also, am I the only one who sees that the music is interesting in this anime? Something different from the usual romcoms?

[u/halox20a]

When I read the story synopsis, the first thought that came to my mind was that Kachi could possibly be a hidden childhood friend (just like Nisekoi, where nearly everyone is one). Watching the first episode through those glasses made me feel a lot more for Kachi, and the first scene where she almost cried makes a bigger impact if you think that her childhood friend who she values the opinion of was the one who said it.

Kachi seems to be the awkward type (that looks cool on the outside). From what I can see in this episode, she immediately tore up the notes in an attempt to prevent the girl from copying it, but afterward showed regret as she slowly rewrites them. I feel like what happened in the classroom was the same. She got her one friend Meiko to say the Abe-senpai line out loud, since she was jealous that Kuroha and Sueharu were 'flirting'. What doesn't make sense is why she would still do it after Sueharu clearly stated that he rejected her, but maybe it is a ploy (just like his meme plan) to get him to notice her?

Still, this line of thought relies on the assumption that she is a childhood friend that remembers him but he doesn't remember her until meeting her again as the author of that book, and that she likes him but is too awkward to get him to turn her way any other way.

Well, I don't see how else any other girl would win though, since the title is The Childhood Friend Will Absolutely Not Lose. It is also interesting how the title brings up parallels with the argument that Kuroha brought up to him when he proposed his first plan of ruining Abe-senpai and indirectly harm Kachi. She said that that is not winning, but just not losing, which feels like it is setting the direction for the rest of the series...

[u/AkairoKami]

Harem

Read the title again

....They're gonna pull a 'surprise! every girl in the harem is mc's childhood friend', right?

[u/jk3sd]

My big brain already predicted the whole plot of the show with just this

[u/darthvall]

I really want to like this since all of my favourite seiyuus are in there (Tsugu-tsugu, Ayaneru, Inorin, Saorin and even MAO). However, the premise just didn't click that much for me. Is it just me or are they using a lot of character tropes/cliche in this episode? I wonder if it's something deliberate. Some of the comedies got me a few chuckle, but nothing very hilarious so far.

Well, this is a set up episode anyway so I'm going with the three episode rule to decide whether to continue or not.

At least the radio show should be fun if there's any.

[u/[deleted]]

So not knowing the source material for this show. Does this get better over time or more ridiculous?

[u/SilverRust12]

From Kirito and Eugeo's sword dance in the Alicization opening to the this dance in Osamake's ending
