I’ll give it to A1, the animation is great, the osts are good and the stylistic presentation is visually impressive enough for you to overlook most scenes taking place in one location. The opening visuals are creative, however the opening song is cheesy and the ending is forgettable.

Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War, Chapter 177: Kaguya Shinomiya S Impossible Challenge: “the Swallow S Cowry” (Part 4) The characters' names were derived from the monogatari The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (better known outside of Japan as The Tale of Princess Kaguya). Akasaka stated that he has long liked princess stories and that Kaguya-hime, the main character from the aformentioned monogatari, was one of the most famous princess stories. In developing the characters, he said that Kaguya and Miyuki initially have the same personality and thought process, like twins, which made their exposition to the reader easier to understand. He then developed more divergence between the two. Other characters were developed in the same manner, starting as shallow and template-like, but being filled with realistic feelings and drawn from the author's and his acquaintances' personal experience. He especially liked contrasting characters whose internal personalities differ from their external portrayal. [4] Development and themes [ edit ] in Japanese). Oricon. April 26, 2019.

When Miko begins to falter due to the large crowd watching, Miyuki steps in and inspires her to start a debate. Miyuki eventually wins re-election and invites Miko to join the Student Council, while Kaguya worries that she might not be selected as vice president due to her actions during the election until Miyuki re-offers her the position. The characters are a bunch of troupes who receive no character development: Kaguya is a rich, childish, pampered tsundere with barely any endearing qualities. Chika is the cute ditsy airhead, Ishigami is the depressed emo okatu that fans relate to calling him "our guy". He's easily the worst character because of how one dimensional he is and all his jokes being so predictable e.g. "oh no, Kaguya is going to kill me! I'm going home President!". The president is the hardworking and studious guy. He’s the best of the main cast in my opinion. He's the most interesting, relatable and got varied comedy. Story? There’s no story beyond two teen high schoolers failed love attempts at getting the other person to confess. Fans have dubbed Kaguya sama as the "Death Note of romance", which is laughable because the mind games here are pretentious, basic tactics.

a b Pineda, Rafael Antonio (June 7, 2018). "Kaguya-sama: Love is War Manga Gets 2 Spinoff Manga". Anime News Network. Archived from the original on November 9, 2020 . Retrieved June 7, 2018. Kaguya goes on a shopping trip with Kei and the Fujiwara sisters, where she tries to grow closer to the former. On Miyuki's birthday, Kaguya bakes an absurdly large cake that leads to conflict in her mind as to whether she should give it to him. After Miyuki receives a fan from Kaguya as a present, Chika becomes suspicious as to why only Kaguya celebrated his birthday. Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War, Chapter 154: Kaguya Shinomiya S Impossible Challenge: “the Swallow S Cowry” (Part 2) I can imagine this could have been salvaged, if the characters proved themselves so charismatic and fun that they would eventually become completely endearing. But the characters never really had a consistent personality. Because let's be honest, Miyuki and Kaguya are not always ‘prideful’. The are constantly shown as vulnerable, embarrassed, and shy. Highlighting those parts about them were easily the worst bits of the show. When they were smart, cunning, devious, it lead to the best and most hilarious moments. The author probably did this to make them more relatable and cute, but I ultimately think it negatively impacted the show. Some of the situations Miyuki and Kaguya go through are so trivial and childish that only sheer ridiculousness of their characters could have made it genuinely hilarious. When we know that the basis of their resistance to being open to one another is rooted more in shyness than pride, it makes the situations come off as more silly than potentially hilarious. It should have gone all in on making them scheming egomaniacs, for the sake of the humour.
