[@animangaclandora]

Catarina is the ultimate harem protagonist. She not only gets all the Guys to fall for her, but gets all the girls to turn Lesbian for her too. And in true Harem fashion, she has NO CLUE any of them like her. Though I forgive her for that since shes so obsessed with trying to avoid any death flags that she doesn't realize shes already negated them. The anime is Hilarious and has made me laugh out loud so many times. Definitely one of the best anime of the first half of the year. =^w^=

[@mysticdragonwolf89]

Well and also this is no longer a game - this is her new life. Games can only go so far - she doesn’t realize she can and has made her own choices and that not only changed her friends but her family and how people see her A pebble can create the biggest of avalanches

[@JM-us3fr]

She's been pretty clueless, but to be fair, she still sees herself as the player character in a video game. I get the feeling she doesn't even really see these characters as people, but just npc's. I'm wondering when the moment will hit her that these are in fact people.

[@GlassedGamer]

Did you notice? Katarina dances with Gerald, only for Keith to drag her away. Fooling around throws her straight into competing with Alan, which Mary does her best to draw attention away from. In comes Nicol with his good looks and delivers a charmed Katarina to his beloved sister, only for Maria to bring in the snacks and completely steal Katarina's attention from the others. That is both subtle and very well thought out.

[@immortalfrieza]

The best part I think about this show is that Katarina's Harem is, to me at least, actually plausible. Nobody in the harem is toxic or annoying to their love interest and they're all friends despite their competition, while Katarina herself is so innocent and relentlessly kind to everybody that the fact that everybody she meets falls for her makes sense. I would definitely want a girlfriend as kind as Katarina is, even if she was as screwy in the head as Katarina is (she's incredibly dense, which is the only way she doesn't realize everybody is in love with her).

That transition between characters with skips to their future selves was nice, but my favorite part just has to be the beach where her an Aachan are holding hands

[@hypnos_debts7977]

This is the first harm other than ohshc that hasn't got me bored of the story or got to complicated I like anime that doesn't make my brain hurt

[@momopeach1875]

Man I love how well the animation not only transitions but also matches the lyrics, down to minute things.

[@GamerGrovyle]

I'm not surprised that she has such an extensive harem orbiting her. After all, Black Holes tend to be extremely dense

[@RaGeDeception]

This may just be the smoothest and most unique opening I’ve ever seen

[@nerdybird1102]

For everyone who loved this anime, I strongly suggest reading the webcomic or novel Inso’s law! A girl suddenly ends up in a webnovel she read as the protag best friend. I read the comic version and it had me struggling to not laugh in public, the art is awesome and dynamic well written as a harem (with guys and a girl!! Healthy relationship dynamics!!) I love it and cant wait for the next update

[@pearsemolloy9656]

Watching this anime is so wholesome and feel good but at the same time also makes me feel kind of sad. Makes me wish I could just hit the reset button on my own life and be more friendly, outgoing and supportive to others during my childhood. I’d probably be living a much better life if I did.

[@weihongsu1149]

the first few eps were my fav, they were just too wholesome. i want a extra season telling the extra 7 years catarina went through before enrolling in the academy

[@seemslegit.4538]

If this ever gets really popular the fandom will be fighting so damn hard over who Katarina is ending up with

[@kizunechao279]

Oh DEFINATELY.

[@triniarata9929]

It's already popular honestly. I'm just curious, who do you want for Katarina? :)

[@seemslegit.4538]

Trini Arata aaah idk. Its so hard. To be honest I like all of them. But probably Alan Sophia or Geordo.

[@farinatasmia9134]

all you need to know about this anime: EVERYONE ends up loving her

[@inflatablefish]

To clarify: that's EVERYONE. Not just everyone in the school. Not just everyone in the show. Not just everyone in anime fandom. E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E

Well, we've certainly found the best OP for the year.

[@justice4144]

It's so damn catchy lol

[@soul24311]

I want her to get with the white haired girl Edit : after the lastest episode i now ship her with Maria. I apologize to all those whom i have betrayed

[@theonegoldengryphon]

No betrayal! Frankly, every ship in this show is valid

[@stuartl7761]

@@theonegoldengryphon Exactly! I'm hard core Maria right now, but with Mary close behind. I see Sophie as more of a highest tier best friend now, but if things shift she might pass Mary. The boys are gonna have to work to catch up but I can't find it in me to root against them. Somehow this show is so wholesome that I'd be accepting of any ship?? Nani? That shouldn't be possible. (S.D. you can leave)

[@mysticdragonwolf89]

Both albino girl and Bakarina are in the same situation, former friends and classmates, both reborn into this alternate world, just white hair hasn’t unlocked her memories.

Translation of the Lyrics: I am ambiguous If you mix it round and round It may looks like a rapid change That I admire If you're in love, it's a superb dessert Forgive me for preferring sweet and sour Lovely turning around A bit more than my imagination, go straight ahead A maiden's route is not the only one Let's say hello to a lucky dream that makes me wake up I'm always positive Running around as usual Increasing my popularity Be pure, correct and beautiful It is well said Say hello to a happy future that's waiting for me for sure I'm always positive

This Op jumps from humourous to angelic shots so well. It's like it had a whole previous life practicing.

*Accidentally steals every love flag for every main character and even a few minor ones* Katarina: Oh , I hope I don't get the bad end. Us: You are too pure for this world, Baka-rina. Too pure.

0:40 when you say some questionable **** infront of the friend group

[@maryjoe1776]

I still haven't seen anyone say this so I am gonna point it out... the first thing that came to mind when seeing the protagonist for the first time in a thumbnail was : "this is like an anime version of mabel from reverse falls"

[@Kavanaugh_Kohls]

This anime has no right to be as good as it is.

[@Joseg19988426]

Am i the only one who was overjoyed when they snuck in that chord from Beethoven’s song ? The Harpsichord at the beginning was a nice touch too!
