The overusage of the whole "bitter drama which leads to the MC becoming a little bit less of a social potato" theme often tends to play against the show employing it by making the overall watching experience more unpleasant than it needs to be. But my favorite aspect of KanoKano is its intentional exclusion of the needless drama that I've definitely seen in a handful of other harems. Kanojo mo Kanojo dismisses most of the tasteless, repetitive clichés that are known to eat up far too much run time in your typical harem show and fills that space with more instances of comedy, or even just by giving us more exposure to the cute girls that we're all honestly here for in the first place. In fact, it's not inaccurate to call KanoKano a parody of the harem genre as a whole, which might seem like a recipe for disaster on paper, but it's really quite the opposite. With well-casted characters all the way around, a charming soundtrack that effectively accentuates moments of wholesomeness & comedy, and an attractive yet simple animation style that couldn't be more fitting, this anime is a treat from start to finish. This show is not meant to be taken as seriously as other harems that bear certain similarities. ![]() ![]() Rather than making an inorganic attempt at being distinct and memorable in some sort of cringe-worthy manner, it is completely transparent on what its values are and capitalizes on its individual strengths to the utmost.

Depending on who you ask, the rambunctious elements that it chooses to emphasize can be seen as painfully irksome or purely entertaining. Let me first state that Kanojo mo Kanojo will inevitably be either strongly loved or strongly hated by the vast majority of its audience. ![]()
