Here's why you should watch Pseudo Harem:
1. Hayami Saori
- If you're a fan of her, you will definitely enjoy this one. The role she's playing has her utilizing her talent in every corner, so you get to hear every kind of voice aside from the renowned soft-spoken tone you'd hear from her usual roles. Not to mention having her character being an actress, you would get an endless amount of talent just oozing in every second of her screentime. Let's not forget the other guys as well, they do well to commend the character and help make Rin stand out as well.

2. Just Cute

When a harem evolves to the point that it consists of only one girl, you get Pseudo-harem. This anime is perfect for those who love harems filled with lots of girls with different personalities but just can't choose who to simp over. Or maybe you just want to see two well-adjusted and kind-hearted adolescents having lovey-dovey moments.

This anime is the equivalent of powdered sugar-covered candy. Every part of it is sweet and delightful: the colorful animation, the serene background music, and the way the characters interact. Simply amazing.

Right off the bat, though, the story doesn't have one plot. It's more of a compilation of ...

The "harem" genre has often been viewed negatively in the anime community as a whole. Most of the time, whenever there's a new show that is tagged with harem, watchers ignore it, and in result, it gets underappreciated despite their potential to actually do better than what people think it would be (atleast some harem). Unfortunately, this is also the case on "Giji Harem", as the title suggests that it is a harem, when it is actually not.

As for the story, it's rather simple. The narrative mainly focuses on both the main character and the main heroine's "moments", which some people might not like ...

relaxing and entertaining.

Objectively speaking, the series lacks several things, the animation is somewhat poor, and the relationship between them progresses somewhat quickly for the episodes that are broadcast...

But the story is simple, it is close, and it is easy to immerse yourself in the interactions that the protagonists have in the different situations that occur.

It relaxes me to watch each episode, and without realizing it I am smiling when I see the interactions with the different personalities that Rin plays.

For that reason, the shortcomings are more than compensated for by the virtues it has, I definitely recommend this series if you like the genre.

Giji harem is cute, fun, and heavily carried by the phenomeonal voice acting from some of the industry's most beloved. The story is cute, refreshing, and I leave every episode with a goofy grin on my face. I'm biased towards the story because I've finished the manga, but I will say somehow the adaption is full of so much charm and character it's unreal.

Shikimori-san, Angel Next Door; there's been a trend of giving school romance more animation budget than they frankly need or deserve. Giji harem goes heavily in the other direction. I was very, very skeptical when I saw the studio's track record, ...

This is an early review, so I won’t make any definitive decisions on the quality of the anime. What I will say is what I like and dislike about it at the moment.

I am very happy with their casting decisions for Nanakura and Kitahama. They play into their parts exceptionally well. I think Hayami probably has a better range of voices than Okamoto, but both are seasoned pros in the Japanese VA industry and they wear those long hours of work and diligence proudly.

I am also pleased with the animation quality so far. We don’t need the next AoT or anything crazy, but Nomad (responsible ...

Giji Harem is a delightful rom-com anime that plays with all the typical anime girl tropes.

In this series, a first-year aspiring actress builds friendships with a second-year stagehand who works on a drama together. She can act out various anime girl archetypes, such as the cool girl, tsundere, spoiled girl, and more. In this way, the guy gets his "pseudo harem."

Their interactions are hilarious, and I enjoy the anime's unique format, which presents them as a series of scenes showcasing their interactions.

While this anime might not be the best of all time, watching how their relationship develops and how she gradually reveals her true feelings ...

There's some bits I like. Both Saori Hayami and Nobuhiko Okamoto are great and carry the whole show. The art and animation are fine and the ED is really good! But other than that it's all over the place. Main girl Rin is in love with MC for no apparent reason, it's as if they skipped that part entirely.

It feels incredible rushed! So far they went for all the classic rom-com tropes: christmas date, new years date, going to the boy's house and taking care of him while he has a fever and THAT WAS ALL IN EPISODE 2!!! The pacing is akward and it's ...

I wanted to give Hayami Saori every chance to continue her absolutely virtuoso performance in this series. But I am getting the impression that even her prestigious talents aren't going to keep this one afloat.

Sure started out well. The first three episodes were cute as hell, and well written to take advantage of the main plot gimmick. But sadly things decended into romcom trope and cliche hell in eps 4-6. The writers completely crushed whatever goodwill they had mustered up to that point.

The artwork is nothing special to start off with, although in the first couple eps, it was cute enough. But in ...

Why does it seem like anime studios don't put in any effort into their shows? This is actually an anime that I've read the manga for first and really enjoyed. I loved the characters and they actually have great chemistry for once. I don't know why but for some reason in anime romcoms, the writers are so hellbent on focusing on how to force circumstances onto their characters to progress their love, that they forget to make them actually have an interesting relationship. Like these two characters are a really fun duo. You believe their romance because you see their friendship first. They play off ...
