They believe that Giji Harem was greatly undervalued

The discussion about romantic anime on Reddit has reignited, and this time the focus has been "Giji Harem (Pseudo Harem)", a romantic comedy that many users consider an underrated gem of the genre. The debate began when a user wrote an impassioned post in which he defended that the series perfectly mixes romance and comedy, with characters that feel "natural and real".

The original user commented:

"I didn't expect much from this anime, but it was really good. Don't let the name fool you, it's not a harem. Pseudo Harem is a romantic comedy about Rin, a first-year high school girl, and Eiji, her second-year senpai. Rin is an acting prodigy, and she starts playing different characters to joke around with Eiji. This is the only romantic comedy, aside from 'Kaguya-Sama: Love is War', that has funny comedy and adorable romance. It's simple, but that's what makes it so good."

They believe that Giji Harem was greatly undervalued

The debate grew quickly, with opinions divided between those who believe that "Giji Harem" is a masterpiece of the romantic genre and those who think that the series has received the recognition it deserves. While some praise the anime's "adorable and comforting" aspect, others noted that its animation or lack of a complex narrative make it an easily forgettable title.

"A rare story where the guy gets both the harem ending and the ending with the best girl."
"I haven't seen the anime, but I read the manga. It's a relaxing and cute romance. 10/10 I would recommend it."
"I found it in the manga, it didn't hook me, but the anime and the voices that Rin did with each version of herself for Eiji, an adorable anime."
"I usually say that if 'The Dangers in My Heart' is a 10/10 in romance anime, 'My Dress-Up Darling' would be a 9/10 and 'Giji Harem' a 9.5/10."
"I loved it, the sweetness of each episode is great. It's definitely an anime I'll watch again and maybe one of my favorite romances."
"An adorable rom-com, where the voice actors are the stars, especially Hayamin. I loved listening to 'senpai' every week."
"This is the only romcom besides 'Kaguya-Sama' that really has funny comedy and good romance."
"I like it better than 'Kaguya-sama'".
"One of the most talked-about shows of last season, with the main heroine coming in second in the best girl polls, and still call it underrated? A classic".
"There are so many positive comments here. I need to see this one."
"She was runner-up in the Best Girl of the Summer polls. I don't think this show is underrated."
"I'm not a big fan, I even stopped watching it after three episodes. The premise is nice, but it became repetitive quickly."
"I thought it was cringey and horrible. All those voices seemed annoying to me."
"I didn't like the animation very much, that demotivated me to watch it."
"Yes, it was a pleasant surprise. The relationship progresses quickly and ends satisfactorily."
"The entertainment budget or the time were very tight, but he has one of the best couples."
"It's pretty good, but I think it deserved better animation and background music."
