| ANIME - Masamune-Kun's Revenge |

SYNOPSIS: A story about Makabe who, was treated badly by his childhood friend, and decides to seek revenge.

GENRE: Romance, Comedy
NUMBER OF EPISODES: 12

RATING: 3/10

I decided to watch this because I thought it would be fun. I didn't expect that it would disappoint me so much. There were funny scenes, but most of the time, it pissed me off. The plot seemed intriguing, but there was no actual progress in the storyline. There were characters introduced that didn't add anything to the storyline (Kanetsugo and Neko). They just made things more confusing. I think the plot points weren't resolved properly. I dislike most of the characters. Maybe the source material is better, but the anime sucked. Also, it ended in a cliffhanger way that would make you hate it.

Makabe was such a disgusting main character. I didn't see any redeeming qualities in him. Sure, he had childhood trauma, but that doesn't excuse his behavior. He was vain, childish, and a jerk. Aki is not the best person in the world, but she didn't deserve the betrayal. By the end, I'm still not sure about Makabe's feelings towards Aki, but I sure as hell don't like them together in the anime. I don't like people who play with other people's feelings.

RANDOM THOUGHTS AND REACTIONS

• I felt bad for Makabe in the beginning because of what happened when he was young, but I didn't like the person he grew up into. I think he was better when he was chubbier.
• Kanetsugo was such a horrible person. Sure, he had problems with money, but to deceive a girl? Even if it is Aki? That's wrong on many levels.
• I found Kojuro Shuri very adorable. I felt bad for him every time his classmate would tease him and dress him up like a girl (bow, swimming, play), but he was so cute. He's also the most decent character in the whole show.
• Makabe's mother was such a trap character. I was so surprised. How the hell did she give birth to Makabe and his sister? She looked like an actual child. Makabe even calls her Loli Hag (which is hella accurate).
• There are so many lines from Makabe that were cringy as hell. Everyone he confessed his feelings towards Aki, and every time he praised his body and looks.
• I didn't get Neko's deal. She just showed up out of nowhere and decides to confuse everybody. I don't feel her feelings for Makabe.
• Who the hell would hide a picture between the boobs? That will get wet because of sweat. 
• Why the hell does Neko go commando? That's uncomfortable since she wears short skirts.
• I don't even know why Aki agreed to let them all stay in her private villa. It was such a stupid plan to spite Makabe.
• It was embarrassing when Aki decided to wear a magic girl costume on her date with Makabe.
• It's funny that Aki gets hungry every time. She even had herself tested for parasites.
• It's funny that Kojuro is not worried about the test even though he had a single-digit score on the previous test. 
• I don't know why Aki was wearing a Darth Vader-ish helmet when she was mad at Makabe. It was funny, though.
