Theres almost always one random anime that will get some controversy no matter if for something that is minimal or stupid yet will become the center of criticisms about the show and in this case the series that got this treatment was KimiZero. For some reason the main girl made some people go crazy with part of her gimmick which in this series is that she already had relationships with other boys in the past and even had sex with them. Thats all and as it was proven in the past by series like HigeHiro where you could complain about basically anything like bad writing bad animation badly written characters etc but instead people ignore them and whine about a completely unrelated thing as the main complain there was also that the girl in the cover wasnt a virgin. Some people will say that the writing of this series seems like it was made by an incel and I have to disagree after all that kind of people are the most likely to complain that the girl had sex before. In fact I cant comprehend how such a simple series like a romcom got so misunderstood the memo that you get from here is not that having multiple relationships and sex with literally anything is good no the series paints this in a negative light and Runa regrets it because it happened due to her bad decisions on how to make a significant relationship. The fact that this simple fact gets over so many peoples heads is surprising to me as it is something very easy to pick up from so many episodes the one in the festival in particular is extremely blatant about this. This series at least tries to make sense as some people will have a sexual life earlier than others and they might regret it later if it isnt with someone that matters to them in the first place. But now is KimiZero a good series? Of course fucking not as much as I want to side with the fans of this series that simply isnt possible for me. At the very least I think this series is commendable for actually having the main girl who is super popular and beautiful interacting with boys and having had relationships in the past because in most romcoms God forbid that the main girl has ever interacted with any boy except the MC. The series obviously suffers from average romcom and light novel writing nothing actually exciting happens and when it does it is written like a Mexican telenovela like do people think that the twin sister of a girl faking to be her is not something ridiculous? As it happens the MC is also bland as hell and the relationship came to be in a completely unnatural way it happened because Tanjiro asked Runa to become his girlfriend after he lost a bet with his friends and she simply accepts like it was nothing no one in their sane mind would see this and think it isnt forced and even if some moments between Tanjiro and Runa were fine enough it isnt enough to see this series and think it was anything meaningful. I can stand the telenovela tier writing because I grew up watching a lot of them so thats why most romcoms are not something that bother me at all and this one is not exception this series is simply boring most of the time and not much more it isnt actively annoying and it was a good enough joke when a character started talking about something they are very passionate about and the other was completely lost without understanding anything. Nicole acting like a bitch towards Tanjiro was always something weird she constantly told him that he shouldnt do anything bad about Runa when he looks so inoffensive and his personality is literally Im nice I can only wonder if she was doing the same for previous Runa boyfriends or if she saw Runa being hurt so many times she started being overprotective coincidentally with him I want to believe the second one especially because Runa seems to ignore a lot of her advices but theres nothing to tell me that she isnt like this because the current guy is the protagonist and apparently she must annoy him. Theres also other romantic relationships happening in the background with Tanjiros friends and the other gyaru but they go nowhere and fail miserably at it. And Maria is probably the side character that is most important her deal is really weird she is also in love with Tanjiro and he even confessed his love towards her in the past but she rejected him so why is she seeking for his love now even after she rejected him before? Is it just to have more drama in the show as it happens she is jealous of Runa but at the same time wants to be more noticed by her because of their relationship? She acts like a bitch half of the series and then victimizes herself she clearly has problems in her and it all revolves around Runa and Tanjiro. As it stands KimiZero is basically just a generic romcom with more drama than it should have but at the same time has a female MC that seems more plausible than other girls from other romcoms thanks to her not being an untouchably pure virgin. I seriously cannot make an effort to be on either side of the conflict about the series since I for one think that anyone can have any relationship with anyone they want so I cannot agree with the haters but I also disagree with the people saying this is a wholesome show as nothing about it stands out as actually meaningful or even cute. Thank you for reading.
