I watched the first episode when it was released because I thought it sounded original and interesting. I was blown away by the quality in just the first couple of episodes. Fantastic and funny writing, characters, voice actors and amazing animation and each episode just gets better and better. I binged the manga after the first couple of episodes and the source material is fantastic as well (and still ongoing so let's hope for at least 1 more season) but you can tell the creators of the anime really but their hearts into this one.
Hilarious, beautiful, and enticing I whole heatedly recommend this show. 10/10

Amazing Anime

Stunning masterpiece. Best anime of the year. 11/10

A story about an epic love between Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya. Brilliant plot, full of outstanding details. No fillers. Just crème de la crème of the girls strawberry. Hilarious, cute, warm and infinitely tender love war from the first second to the final song in 12 episodes. "Go Kaguya! Go!" You should watch it. Just stop and watch. Immediately.
The best rom-com anime of 2019 right now
phanthinga31 March 2019
Kaguya-sama: Love Is War in my opinion is one of the best rom-com anime ever and a breath of fresh air into the genre that every anime fan need to check out even when the reason you know about the show is through the infamous dance scene of ep 3 that make the whole community lose their mind. The characters are awesome and well developed while the comedy is absurdly funny in a Monogatari kind of way. The two main character Shirogane and Shinomiya is no doubt my best anime couple of the season and fan favorite character Fujiwara is also a strong contender for the best supporing female character role but all my heart and support goes out to Yu Ishigami a.k.a OUR GUY because he a character that speak what on everybody mind and represent a majority of the viewer in a bad but funny light
Hilarious, Cute, and Excitingly Over-The-Top

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is an unconventional romance that is funny and cute with a lot of hilariously exaggerated scenes that add to it's already brilliant premise of two narcissists trying to get the other to confess. It's a great comedy, and a cute romance. And this show's narrator is just a joy to listen to. Backed up by quality animation and voice acting, it's a really good time. I also highly encourage anyone who likes this show to check out the original manga, which delivers on the same clever humor and cute romance, but also tells a more cohesive story instead of being more of a slice of life type of affair
There better be a season 2

One of the most beautiful animes ever! Redefining the romcom genre
TheGreatGreenBadger28 January 2020
If there's an anime that is hilarious but deep, then this is the one! Love is War is one of the most unforgettable animes ever! The love/rivalry between Shinomiya and Shirogane is a hilarious and entertaining story, and the animation is just incredible! Even the other characters, Fujiwara and Ishigami, are so well fleshed out and they just make me laugh my head off! Season 2 is also an absolute blast, and introduced a new character, Miko, while fleshing out the original gang! This anime never fails to amaze, and it is definitely one of the most iconic animes of the recent years!
A cute popcorn anime

The base of the story is this. Our two leads are both passive and prideful so each is hoping the other will make the first move.
And that's the show. It's mostly visual gags and cheap laughs so sit back and don't take it too seriously.
Sadly because the leads are so passive it's the side characters that shine. Chika is the only pro-active character which is why she's so popular among fans.
The Narrator (yes, he's an actual character) is very hit or miss. Like that one guy talking over a movie thinking people are more interested in his commentary than the movie itself.
Sadly suffers from poor writing and inconsistent characters so I can't rate it higher but it's an entertaining show.

I've watched episode 1-3 & the final 2nd season episode 12 because I didn't want to waste my time on something that could deliver in the first few episodes. I'm a sucker for a good romance with a little chase to it but to have 2 season and main protagonists still end up together in the end was a waste of time & a poor let down.
Honestly Amazing

Funny as f***
lord_hamed9830 April 2022
I'm a guy in his early 30s who loves a good comedy series and after watching so many, it's kinda hard to make me laugh. It's been so long a series hadn't make me laught out loud so much. I started waching it at 20:00 and went to bed at 13:00. The writing is amazing and the characters are so interesting. Loved everu episode 10/10.
The Tsundere leaders
jaysshukla20 September 2021
Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya are in love with each other. However, they don't want to confess it as they think doing so would hurt their pride. They cannot also resist the feelings for each other and always long for each others' attention. They have to try their best not to give away even a slightest of the hint and instead desperately try to plot wicked schemes so as to try to make or force the other person to confess first. They believe whoever does so first would lose.
Overall, the anime is hilarious and it's obvious that while discussing this anime, you won't discuss its storyline. There is no room for such discussion. Instead, you would discuss about some of its iconic or hilarious scenes. The season 1 was out and out a hilarious one. The season 2 is hilarious too but it has some very serious moments, which could make you contemplate about your own life. Sometimes, the narration and some random situation is exaggerated and you might feel bored but most of the time, it's a good laugh and you would enjoy watching it.
This show has some very funny and intense characters. Its not difficult to figure out that both the main characters Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane are typical Tsundere. In fact, one of them could even be a flag bearer of this era of Tsundereness. Among the supporting characters, Fujiwara Chika is an airhead and she is there mostly for the comic relief. The one character who literally stands out is Ishigami Yu. A kind of an introvert, with whom any Otaku could relate and the way his character was developed in the season 2 was amazing. You cannot help but feel proud of him. The new character Iino Miko isn't much into romance or comedy so far but just like Kaguya and Miyuki, she too has an habit of overthinking. Hayasaki Ai too cannot be ignored. She is one hell of a maid.
The anime has some amazing theme songs and they really suit to this kind of a theme. Out of those, Chikatto Chika chika is easily the best song. Although, appeared for only one episode of season 1, both the song and the Chika dance are classic and unforgettable.
Is this anime recommendable? I don't know. In this case, a lot would depend on one's preference. I have enjoyed this anime and I have rated it accordingly.

Genuinely my favorite show ever made
Nykki_is_not11 May 2023
This show is the most consistent, funny, heartwarming, entertaining, relatable, thing I have ever seen. It's nicer to have someone to make me so happy and make me laugh so hard and then proceed to punch me in the gut with emotion cause you love the characters so much. Oh and the cast is my favourite in any show ever. Kaguya and Miyuki are amazing protagonists, Ishigami is not only hilarious but only so tragic and Chika is so entertaining she just gives me pure joy. Every single episode is funny or entertaining. I love the struggles all the characters have, it's so real and raw. Did I mention the humor? Cause Kaguya is genuinely one of the funniest things I've seen in my life. This show makes me cry from the jokes and emotion. This show is a masterpiece!!! IT GOES HARD!!
Awesome ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

To be honest, this is one of those rare manga that you truly enjoy. The story is real fun... And i mean actually fun..... And their are really very few manga in rom com gener that do job as fine as this one.
I recommend you 1st watch 1st and 2nd seasons and get a good hold of the characters and then start reading the manga.
good only

Watched about 5 episodes...and just i left ..i dont know why...i think i am not a fan of romantic... and again as the genre suggested main priority as comedy...it has only focused in romance...so i didnt like not continuing again.
By far the best intro to anime romantic comedies
karislovesanime13 February 2022

Clearly Not for me!
gokussaiyan420 September 2021
The whole anime is annoying because there is always that stupid commentry.
Some people could like it but rating it 10 stars is way too much. It doesn't even sound funny rather nonsense being blabbered all the time.
Overhyped and Overrated!
I still think Fruits Basket is the best Anime in the Romance genre.
