I’m usually a lurker but this anime was so good?? It was really funny and the romantic tension could have killed me. I’m usually not a fan of slow build anime’s but this one was really worth it. If anyone hasn’t seen the show I highly recommend! I haven’t seen the movie yet because I’m waiting for my partner to finish the series too. My favorite character is probably Chika. I cannot express how much I adore her. Thoughts on the series?? Is the movie any good??

I love Love is War. Objectively speaking, it's slow-burn as hell but it does not bog down or tire you because it focuses on other characters rather than centralized to the two main characters. I mean, we have Chika and Miyuki's "mother-son" relationship; Kaguya and Ishigami's "sibling" relationship; Miyuki and Ishigami's "best bro" relationship; and Kaguya and Hayasaka's "sisters" relationship. And it has some gut punches too (S2E11 flashbacks).

For the movie, it's solid and it definitely gives a good payoff for both Kaguya and Miyuki's mind games. I definitely recommend you check it out!

The only show that had made me laughing so hard since Love is War gotta be KonoSuba but that's another type of comedy different from Love is War's brand of comedy. And hey, don't forget to take a look at the dub! Dub's a different beast, especially Ian Sinclair's portrayal of the narrator.
