Kanojo, Okarishimasu 3rd Season

I was trying to stay strong as Mizuhara but at the end, it kinda kicks me in the feelings.
The Design and Details are pushed in a good way, it looks more colorful and cute, perfect matching for this kind of anime style.
Season 1 and 2 were not bad and they had interesting character development but on S3 we finally see most of them more mature and grown up. If there is important takeaway from this season its:
No matter how strong you are its always good to share your feelings with someone, instead of letting them consume you.

i jumped into this show at season 3 and got the gist immediately: it's about the humiliating and demoralizing cycle of relationships and the failure to communicate between men and women. the lead character allows his obsessive, unrequited crush to degenerate him into true sociopathy, exploiting a rental girlfriend's family trauma so he can force himself into her most private, vulnerable moments. his sexual pathology - which drives this concurrent deification and objectification of his crush - is sketched out through racing, overanalytic thoughts ruminating over her every move, her every word. this brilliantly exposes the tragic and dangerous trajectory of unchecked, obsessive psuedo-love.
as a ... show, the experience can be mixed. sometimes it gets boring and you forget the main guy can be a full blown sociopath. sometimes the show devolves into sentimental speeches that make it difficult to discern how self aware exactly its creators are. the quirky supporting cast of "cute girls" come across as totems of fan service rather than actual characters and, while funny, the dialogue can be atrocious and corny, although this is likely a side effect of my needing the dialogue translated (i am not a speaker of the japanese language).
the show is at its strongest when it indulges in excruciating cringe comedy.

Review Title : Entertaining but Trapped in a Repetitive Cycle

Kanojo, Okarishimasu has now reached its third season, and while it continues to entertain, it's hard to shake the feeling that this series has become stuck in a repetitive loop. The plot, like many long-running shows, feels more like a never-ending soap opera, with each episode following similar story arcs and character interactions that rarely evolve. The constant cycle of misunderstandings, love triangles, and overly dramatic moments is engaging at first but begins to feel like it’s dragging on indefinitely.

While the characters remain charming, with their distinct personalities and motivations, it's clear that the story heavily ... relies on their appeal rather than progressing the plot in any meaningful way. The stakes never seem to rise, and the lack of major character development or resolution makes it feel like the series is stuck in a rut. For anyone looking for a fresh and dynamic plot, this is likely to be frustrating.

That said, if you're a fan of fanservice or enjoy the lighthearted nature of a romantic comedy with occasional humor, Kanojo, Okarishimasu might still hold some appeal. However, for those who crave more depth or meaningful progression, the series might leave you wanting more. I personally do not recommend following the story too closely, as it feels like the anime is simply going through the motions, much like a soap opera with hundreds of episodes.

Overall, the third season continues the trend of its predecessors: entertaining but ultimately repetitive and lacking in substance for those seeking something more engaging. For me, it’s a 5/10 at best.
