(Another series I haven't finished, my apologies. There will only be twelve more in the ranking that I haven't completely finished, and most of those have just had new stuff come out since I watched it and I haven't gotten around to them yet)

Premise: Student council president Shirogane Miyuki and vice president Shinomiya Kaguya are in love. Both are too proud to confess, however, and they instead scheme to get the other to admit it first.

The Good: I've only seen the first season, and I'd believe anyone who says Kaguya-sama gets better. The third season has over a 9 on MAL, that's crazy! I'll get back to it someday, but the first season didn't have a lot that I loved. Occasionally the premise was used to set up funny scenarios. My favorite was when they were playing a word game and everyone had their own complex motivations for trying to win or intentionally lose. Kaguyas servant Ai was my favorite character, but I didnt mind the main duo either. The other two in the student council werent my favorites but they were inoffensive.

The Bad: As early as the first episode I was afraid the idea would become stale, and it did. My reaction to their dilemma was mostly just admit you like each other you dumb kids, which I know is a fundamental misunderstanding of the premise. It just wasnt for me, I guess. I also didnt like how the drama at the end of the first season was driven entirely by Kaguyas father being an abusive jerk.

Overall: I know a lot of people really love Kaguya-sama, but I didnt get much out of it. There are already so many anime rom-coms where the characters never progress in their relationship. I seek out ones where they get together before the very end just for how rare it is. I'll continue Kaguya-sama someday, but for now I dont want to put up with 25 more episodes of these two characters dancing around each other.

COMING UP TOMORROW:
210: This anime is quitting its job to play video games.
209: This anime is too much of a nerd for anyone to date it.
208: This anime hurt its leg and can't run anymore.
