If you haven’t watched Romantic Killer on Netflix, I strongly recommend you do so now. This series should at the very least be on your watch list, especially if you like anime. Romantic Killer is a cute anime with a lot of heart and exactly what you need if you are looking for comforting anime.
Anzu is a girl obsessed with video games with no intentions or time to find love. Unfortunately for her, a wizard appears and uses their powers to make her life into a dating sim. Anzu suddenly finds herself surrounded by hot guys and forced into situations that will decide her romantic future. Will this wizard succeed in their mission to help Anzu find love, or is she really as incapable of falling in love as she believes she is?
This series was originally intended as background noise as I built my gunpla kit. But my gunpla went unfinished as I quickly became absorbed into Romantic Killer’s silly and quirky plot. This series has a delightfully charming story with fun characters and a vibrant art style. I love how resistant Anzu is to the situation, but she is still willing to learn and grow from it. I love the awkward and hilarious situations the wizard puts her in. The only thing I don’t like about this series is that there isn’t an end yet, and I need to know what happens. I don’t want to get too detailed with this review because there is a bit of mystery to the plot that leads to its heartwarming resolution. The resolution and how all the pieces of the narrative connect is what makes this series special. I’ll admit that some of the plot points are a little forced, but it doesn’t matter when the result is this cute. I should go without saying that I love this anime.
Regardless of what you think of anime, you should watch Romantic Killer at least once. It is cute, dumb, and very entertaining. It can be slow, especially during setup, but it is worth the journey. If you have Netflix and need something fun and comforting to watch, this is your answer.
I couldn’t find the trailer in English, but there is English dubbing and it is solid.
I’m watching! 😁 I also watch the other animes available on Netflix.
I mean, currently watching.
I love this one, I’m rewatching it now because I loved it so much. I’ve been going through the rest of the anime catalogue on there too
I enjoyed watching Romantic Killer. After watching this anime(7 Seeds) on Netflix where the rest of the seasons were discontinued, I found it hard in watching an anime series on Netflix that was interesting to me(this was about 2 years ago)
I decided to try out Romantic Killer this year, and I totally enjoyed it to the max. It’s the first ever anime series I’ve watched which was so hilarious as well. All the other ones I usually watch has serious tones to them.
I actually went a long time avoiding anime on Netflix because either only a small part of it was on there, or it wasn’t good. I am surprised by their currently library and have been slowly making my way through the anime. I love Romantic Killer and I hope we get a good ending. Thanks for reading!
You’re definitely right about the anime system back then on Netflix. I really hope so too about the ending. You’re welcome!!
